Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, you're not gonna get away with it.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
That's me.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, that's you. Amy.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Good morning morning, Bill, and and last, but uh probably
not least, good morning. Good morning okay ooh you sound
very excited.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Uh, we have a few stories to cover this morning.
It's going to be one of those mornings where up
is down, left is right, dark is light, And I'll
explain it.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's one of those.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Craziness you know, is that the craziness has not hit
us on a political national level.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's just it's not just levels of crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
And we've hit a couple of new levels of crazy
that I'm going to share with you later on. In
the meantime, let's start time for Handle on the News
with Amy, Neil and me lead.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Okay, Saturday, the powerball drawing will be at one point
seven billion dollars. Now, it really isn't one point seven
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Why is that?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Because most people take the cash which is half that amount,
and you have to take you have to pay taxes
on that depending on what state you live, and this
is worth moving out of California, which is half of
that or thirty five, thirty seven or whatever. I think
thirty nine percent is the marginal tax rate. So it's
(04:39):
still still a lot of money, still a lot of money.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
You were looking, you were looking for a negative angle
on this story, and even you have to admit it's
still a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, but it's not one point seven billion dollars. It's
twenty five percent of one point seven billion. So a
lot of money. But you know, bottom line, if I
can find a negative in anything, I will do.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
So.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
So what would that break down to if you got it,
if you didn't get it?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
And one love some.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
If you did?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's one point seven billion, But I think that's over
thirty years.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, I know, So what would that be a year?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Come on, I would It's over thirty years, and I
don't think you get interest on it, and inflation kicks in,
so every year it becomes less and less and less
because of inflation. So you can invest it, and let's
say you're investing it at five percent, you're That's why
(05:41):
people mainly take a cash the cash.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
The lump sum.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, but they take the cash choice, the lump sum. Yeah,
because they do better. Yep, And everybody comes out of
the woodwork. You have cousins you've never met before, you
have friends as you have never met before.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Makes sense, all right?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Moving on, what are they thinking? Florida's surgeon general has
announced plans to end all state vaccine mandates, including for
kids who attend schools. Joseph Ladoppo said that every vaccine
mandate is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery, and
(06:27):
called the roll back the right thing to do if
they were actually going to do it, though they do
have to get the legislature to change laws.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I have no problem with. It's a super Republican legislator.
And this is Ron DeSantis. I don't shows Ladeppo as
the surgeon general of the state.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Did you say gestapo?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
He's crazy?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
That gestapo. It's kind of the opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, this is It's just this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Remember I started the conversation this morning where up is down,
right is left.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's what's happening here.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It's insanity, and that's in the face of modern, well
accepted science. And he doesn't believe any of that. Wait,
till there are outbreaks which you're going to see because
a lot of people, based on what the administration is doing,
(07:28):
is downplaying vaccines. Wait until you see outbreaks of polio
and measles.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know what they're gonna call it the Biden diseases.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Does he have polia?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No? It's really depressing. It really is depressing. And this
is all part of make America healthy again. Removing vaccines
makes us healthier.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Figure that one out. I'm sorry I interrupted you, Amy.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
No, it's totally okay.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
I was just going to say I was going to
go through the kind of the list of vaccines. But yeah,
polio's on it, diphtheria, rebella, pertessis, momps, tetanus, there would
there would there are exemptions right now for religious and
medical reasons.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But yeah, and more well some states only uh for
religious reasons. Some states they don't care. California doesn't care.
It's just medical. You bring in medical reason, vaccines are
going to kill my kid, or there's an allergy going on,
or for whatever reason. After that, too bad. You're if
you want to go to school, you get vaccinated.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Okay, So if you're going to make the argument that
COVID just hasn't been around a lot in the muh
M and.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
R m r RNA m RNA.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
So if you're going to make arguments against that, how
does that go all the way back to polio and tetanus?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
And because you don't, because it's the question is mandate,
The question is of choice. If you don't want your
child to be vaccinated against polio, you should be allowed
to make that choice, and the schools have to let
you in. No one can tell you what to do
(09:15):
with your child except the problem is your kid has
to meet the syllabus of the education system. They have
to teach you reading, writing, arithmetic in public schools. Are
we now going to get the choice? It's up to
the parent to decide whether arithmetic is going to be
(09:35):
taught or not. Or it's up to the parent to
decide what classes should be taught or should not taught.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Now you can put a kid outoo.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Now you throw a kid out of school, but you
still have to meet the requirements.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
In Florida, could a parent decide that their kid has
told them they want to become a woman if they're
or a girl, if they're a boy, do they have
the right to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Oh, the kid has a right to do Yeah, well no,
what do parents do?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
The parents make the choice, so the parents say no,
The parents say no, you have a boy that decides
that he is a girl because he's in the wrong body,
and I believe people are wired that way. Do parents
have a right to remove your tutu when you go
to school? Yes, I yess they do.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I know.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Well, this is seated in politics, a lot of it.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
May we never forget that there's actual victims in the Epstein.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Saga.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
So women who have said that they were victimized by
Jeffrey Epstein were part of a bipartisan group of House members,
and they want more transparency, just like everybody else in
this federal investigation of the convicted sex offender in his
long time associate. So really emotional press conference on the
(11:00):
steps there of the US Capitol, and survivors are.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Just saying, hey, they they want this stuff to come out.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Those that are backing them are saying, hey, you're only
motive for opposing this information coming out has got to
be to hide something.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
So why And there's a couple of moving pieces here.
One the President yesterday called this straight out a hoax,
a democratic hoax right across the board.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
What the people all of it?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
He called the entire thing, the women coming out, the
Epstein hoax. None of it is true, even in light
of those women who were crying, and they were over
a dozen.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It's all a hoax. That's for starters.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
The other thing, in terms of asking for this information
to be released, the White House is saying no. The Speaker,
Mike Johnson is backing the White House. So Mike Johnson
will not let a vote on the floor to force
the administration to release that information. So there is a
(12:06):
maneuver in which the House can actually force the can
force the vote. Johnson says no, He's not gonna put
it on the floor. There is a way of forcing
the vote. The White House comes back and says, anybody
who votes for in favor of this vote that it
comes to the floor, anybody votes, it's a hostile act
(12:29):
against the president. You vote to bring this on to
the floor, that's a hostile act. You will see virtually
every Republican falling in line and agreeing that all this
is a hoax. You watch there may be a few
Republicans that are going to go the other way.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Maybe Republican is bipartisan.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, with bipartisan, with maybe four Republicans you said have
joined the fray.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And then we don't even know. We don't even know.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Marjorie Taylor Green is screaming about this and in the end,
is she going to vote with the President's position?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I say, yes, you think yep.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I don't think she's going to on this one. I
think she's one of the speakers yesterday.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yes she was.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But when the vote comes votes, yeah, when the vote come.
Though she has not called this a hoax, she is
part of the group that says this is not a hoax.
These are women who have been abused, and I would
think that just a political fall out. Forget about the
moral aspect. I mean, what Trump is doing this is
despicable on a moral ground, saying these women are part
(13:37):
of a hoax, that all this is a lie. I mean,
come on, really, but just the legal issue. You know
how many Republicans are going to line up and they
look at these women crying and literally leaving their guts
on the table saying this happened to me, I was abused,
(14:00):
and the president says that's a hoax.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
None of that is true.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
And he'll have virtually every Republican agree with him in
terms of forcing the vote.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
This is how this is how crazy it has gotten.
This is truly how nuts it has gotten.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
If he said that and he's acting like that, that's
the equivalent of the what's his face that said the
Sandy Hook parents were lying about their kids, Alec.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, it's just on the same line. Yeah, it's it's horrific.
This goes so beyond politics.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And you're right they if.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
There's nothing to hide, there's nothing to hide, there's nothing
to hide. Well, we've released all this information that was
already in the public domain, the stuff that you released.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
How about the stuff that you have that you're failing
to release? All right, let's move on.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Trump loses another round in court.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Harvard won a legal victory in it's clash with the
Trump administry. A federal judge said that the government had
broken the law by freezing billions of dollars in research
funding in the name of stamping out anti Semitism. Of course,
President Trump is vowed to appeal any decision like this.
The judge said, we must fight against anti semitism, but
(15:18):
we equally need to protect our rights, including our right
to free speech, and neither goal should nor needs to
be sacrificed on the altar of the other.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Here's a question.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The government is arguing we are going to freeze research
dollars because you, Harvard are anti semitic. Harvard comes back
and fixes the problem, straight out fixes it. There is
no more or it's argued that there is no more
anti semitism. So does the government then come back and say, well,
(15:50):
we're going to punish you because there was anti semitism,
and then they move into the wokeism, which is still
probably going on. There are still the DEI programs, which
I think at Harvard are still going on because Harvard
is the only major in university to tell the.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Government to go pound sand. So it is a mess.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
But in the end, does the government have a right
to say these are federal dollars, They are issued by
the executive branch under the NIH and other these are
medical grants we're talking about, you know, we're talking about
research and the cancer. I mean, it's crazy stuff. But
does the government have the right to say no? Probably? Probably.
(16:31):
So my issue is, how do you argue we're fighting
anti semitism if the fight is over and they've done,
and they've done what.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
The government wants.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
The other thing the government wants to do in order
to reinstate the funds, will choose the classes that you
can teach. We will vet the professors, we will vet
the syllabus, what you're going to teach, and how you're
going to teach you and Harvard's saying, no, thanks, ain't
going to happen, all right.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
All right.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Seven months ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that there'd
be a new subcommittee in January, saying that it's going
to uncover the full truth that is owed to the
American people regarding the January sixth attack on the Capitol.
So now House Republicans have voted to establish this new
subcommittee seven months later to reinstate the January sixth attack investigation.
(17:24):
There so they'll be looking into this course. On the
first day in office, Trump issued fifteen hundred full, complete
and unconditional presidential pardons to people who were involved in
the attack, including those who were convicted of violent acts.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Which, okay, so let me ask this to be abhorrent, Okay,
let me ask this. This is what Johnson said. House
Republicans remain intent on delivering the answers that House Democrats
skipped over.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And it is the argument that the.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Nuary sixth attackers were heroes, they were patriots, and the
Democrats refuse to look at the patriotism of them attacking
the capital and trying to undo the election.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Now, what's that committee going to say? What do you think.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Heroes, heroes and patriots. I guarantee that because it's all
it's all political, doesn't matter what it is. President says
one thing, Democrats say no, President says one thing, Republicans
say yes, and no one thinks no.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
One thinks it's all party lines.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
States are going to ban together to save health care.
So the governors of California, Washington, and Oregon have announced
that they're going to put together a West Coast Health
Alliance so they can start coordinating public health guidelines that
are separate from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
They're saying they're doing it because of what's happening at
(19:08):
the CDC. Director Susan Mernarrez was ousted by the White
House after she clashed with RFK Junior on vaccine policy,
and then for their top leaders resigned when she was fired.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And so this is of course in direct response to
what is happening in Florida, as you point out. And
so this is a fight just continues on, the fight
between blue and red, the fight between blue.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And President Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Once this public health guidance is established, I guarantee you
Rohn DeSantis is going to go. It really is a
guidance organization that is determined to kill children, because that's
what it's about. Vaccines kill kids, or at least cause autism, insanity.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It just doesn't stop.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Now. Obviously I'm being a hyperbolic there. You're not gonna
hear never. But it's it's gotten crazy. It's gotten completely nuts.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
All right, this story, I feel like we already did,
so why don't we move on to it?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, we did, we did this story.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Times run out for some urgent care workers. This one
is a doozy.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
So several workers in Santa Barbara been fired because they
did a TikTok video.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
They posted it. It went viral.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It was horrible. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
So it's a bunch of pictures where sand Sum clinic
workers are joking and posing with bodily fluids left on
exam tables. The text over one of the first images
reads are patients allowed to leave you guys gifts? Then
they have staff laughing and pointing and posing around the
(20:59):
stain with the caption guess the substance.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I mean, just yes, horrific.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Let me ask you, Amy, you're our newsperson. Here is
this newsworthy? You got a few people who have gone
who are disgusting human beings who do a TikTok video
have not broken any laws.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
They get fired for doing it. Conversation over, I.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Think it's newsworthy. It's a cautionary tale.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
What don't do that? Don't leave bodily fluids on a
table and pointing.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Look, they didn't leave the bodily fluids. They're saying that
they were left behind by patients.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Ah, so that's even better. So they didn't touch the
bodily fluids. They just said here you go and started laughing.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
About it and to preasures and posted it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm going to do I'm going to defer to you.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
You are our newsperson, and I'm always the one that
says this is not newsworthy, and you and the news goes.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Into the point of intense vulnerability to go into an office,
a doctor's office and trust them with what's going on
with your body? And they're posting garbage even though it
can't necessarily be tied to you.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I think it's an invasion. Yeah, this is not a
people doing that.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yeah, this is I don't think it's a doctor's office.
I think it's a well it's urgent. It is a
doctor's office. Okay, all right, so let's spend even more
time talking about how it isn't news. Why don't we
take a break.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Who wants to pull this tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Who wants to pull handle on the news tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
So I'm not.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
See now you angered her?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh look at that? Look who I pissed off? Oh
my god.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Yeah you know what it'd sound like if you did
the show. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Yeah, just everything. Hey, let's get to something else that's rotten. Okay,
how about this rotten? Hey, some kid has been saved rotten.
He'll die next week. Okay, we haven't opit a death.
Amy would like to share it with us.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Georgio Armani has passed away. He died at the age
of ninety one.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Good for him, good long life.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It is a good long life.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yeah, and everybody goes, oh, we're sad and of course
we're sad because you know, fashion icon and all that.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
But that's a that's a heck of a life. That's
a good run.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
It's a very good run. And he is one of
He has a great perfume line too, doesn't he. I
think he has clothes perfume. He's not going to rot,
it's he's going to smell great. Okay, moving on, more
handle on the news, Amy and Neil and you and me.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
So if you remember, there's a posthumous memoir by the
Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Virginia Guffrey, and I guess the final
draft the family members had some problems with it and
publicly objected to the release, saying that the last draft.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Didn't have all the.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Accounts leading up to her unfortunate suicide. So her marriage,
they say, collapsed in the months leading up to her death,
and that's.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Not in there, right, And she had written that is
it was positive?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Yes, so not to be.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Yeah, So they wanted it to be more accurate, and
it sounds like the publishers got to amend that.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
All right, let's do on, because let's invent a new
tax here in California.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Amy, California is rolling out a new way for the
developers to offset the traffic their projects create. Starting next year,
they can pay into what's called a Vehicle Miles Traveled Fund.
The money would help build affordable housing and infrastructure near
transit areas. Supporters say it's about cutting emissions, but creds say,
(25:00):
come on, let's be real, it's just another tax.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And it is.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
It is just another tax.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Here's my favorite tax of all time, Sam Ardino, the
Inland Empire. When you develop a piece of property and build,
there is such a thing as a kangaroo rat tax
that you have to pay when building for real, the
kangaroo rat tax. To help look it up, to help
(25:30):
the indigenous, because the kangaroo rat is indigenous to that
area and they have to save it.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
So, okay, welcome to another tax.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
That was Riverside County, not saying yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Right, that was Riverside County. Thanks for the correction. And
what it is is you just make it difficult for developers.
There's no place in the country that's as taxed as
developers are in Southern California.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Kangaroo rats.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Notwithstanding, they're going to come up with a new system
that if you're a small business owner or contractor that
newsom comes out and just punches you in the face
and they got every couple of days, all right. Clippers
deny report that Kaie Leonard evaded the salary cap by
getting twenty eight millions paid.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
By by money that he got through another organization.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But this is a company that's gone bankrupt.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
The weird thing here is that it's funded part of
this aspiration or whatever this company was, was partially funded
by a fifty million investment from the Clippers owner. So
basically they're looking into this tree planting company that paid
Kai Leonard twenty eight million, and they're saying that it
(26:49):
was used to pad his salary past that salary cap.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
So they're going to investigate.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yeah, a big deal here is a big deal story.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Yeah, this is the funicular in Yeah, Lisbon, Spain crashed,
killing at least fifteen people. So the funicular is like
the there's one in la that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Run, right, Yeah, that's Angel's flight that goes up.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
This one goes through the city and it's been around
since the late eighteen hundreds. I mean, it really is
a tourist attraction and used by the people in the
city in Lisbon, so is.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
This one on an incline?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Then part of it is in incline, part of it
is it goes through the city.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
All right, Well, Lisbon has a lot of hills and
this just derailed or I think what they had the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
The street car derailed and crashed.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, the cable that the breaking cable failed, is what
the last the last announcement was.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Yeah, And they haven't announced like the nationalities of the
people that were killed, as you know, fifteen killed, eighteen injured.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
But it's probably tourists because it's tourist.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It probably is because it is a tourist attract. You know.
For example, when you go to San Francisco and you
go on a cable car, is there one person from
San Francisco on that cable car? No? No, go to
Las Vegas. Is there one Las Vegas resident that's on
the strip.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Maybe one?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, who's going to a restaurant?
Speaker 5 (28:20):
You don't think it's San Francisco. They jump on, jump
off if they live there.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I think torri because it's so expensive to get on
that damn thing and you're going, you know, seven feet
and you get to turn the car around on those
turntables at the top and the bottom.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
All right, I think we're done, guys. Kfi A M

Speaker 5 (02:39):
Good morning, Neil, Good morning, Willie Wolf.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah, kno morning, what's up?
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Bill?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
What's up? What's up? Will colesreyber body?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Will?
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Good morning?
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Bill?
Speaker 7 (02:51):

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Oh no, no, no, I want to see those hairs

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, you're not gonna get away with it.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
That's me.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, that's you. Amy.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Good morning morning, Bill, and and last, but uh probably
not least, good morning. Good morning okay ooh you sound
very excited.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Uh, we have a few stories to cover this morning.
It's going to be one of those mornings where up
is down, left is right, dark is light, And I'll
explain it.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's one of those.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Craziness you know, is that the craziness has not hit
us on a political national level.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's just it's not just levels of crazy.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
And we've hit a couple of new levels of crazy
that I'm going to share with you later on. In
the meantime, let's start time for Handle on the News
with Amy, Neil and me lead.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Sorry.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Okay, Saturday, the powerball drawing will be at one point
seven billion dollars. Now, it really isn't one point seven
billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Why is that?
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Because most people take the cash which is half that amount,
and you have to take you have to pay taxes
on that depending on what state you live, and this
is worth moving out of California, which is half of
that or thirty five, thirty seven or whatever. I think
thirty nine percent is the marginal tax rate. So it's
(04:39):
still still a lot of money, still a lot of money.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
You were looking, you were looking for a negative angle
on this story, and even you have to admit it's
still a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, but it's not one point seven billion dollars. It's
twenty five percent of one point seven billion. So a
lot of money. But you know, bottom line, if I
can find a negative in anything, I will do.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
So.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
So what would that break down to if you got it,
if you didn't get it?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
And one love some.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
If you did?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's one point seven billion, But I think that's over
thirty years.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, I know, So what would that be a year?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Come on, I would It's over thirty years, and I
don't think you get interest on it, and inflation kicks in,
so every year it becomes less and less and less
because of inflation. So you can invest it, and let's
say you're investing it at five percent, you're That's why
(05:41):
people mainly take a cash the cash.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
The lump sum.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, but they take the cash choice, the lump sum. Yeah,
because they do better. Yep, And everybody comes out of
the woodwork. You have cousins you've never met before, you
have friends as you have never met before.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Makes sense, all right?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Moving on, what are they thinking? Florida's surgeon general has
announced plans to end all state vaccine mandates, including for
kids who attend schools. Joseph Ladoppo said that every vaccine
mandate is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery, and
(06:27):
called the roll back the right thing to do if
they were actually going to do it, though they do
have to get the legislature to change laws.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I have no problem with. It's a super Republican legislator.
And this is Ron DeSantis. I don't shows Ladeppo as
the surgeon general of the state.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
Did you say gestapo?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
He's crazy?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
That gestapo. It's kind of the opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, this is It's just this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Remember I started the conversation this morning where up is down,
right is left.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's what's happening here.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
It's insanity, and that's in the face of modern, well
accepted science. And he doesn't believe any of that. Wait,
till there are outbreaks which you're going to see because
a lot of people, based on what the administration is doing,
(07:28):
is downplaying vaccines. Wait until you see outbreaks of polio
and measles.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You know what they're gonna call it the Biden diseases.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Does he have polia?
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No? It's really depressing. It really is depressing. And this
is all part of make America healthy again. Removing vaccines
makes us healthier.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Figure that one out. I'm sorry I interrupted you, Amy.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
No, it's totally okay.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
I was just going to say I was going to
go through the kind of the list of vaccines. But yeah,
polio's on it, diphtheria, rebella, pertessis, momps, tetanus, there would
there would there are exemptions right now for religious and
medical reasons.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
But yeah, and more well some states only uh for
religious reasons. Some states they don't care. California doesn't care.
It's just medical. You bring in medical reason, vaccines are
going to kill my kid, or there's an allergy going on,
or for whatever reason. After that, too bad. You're if
you want to go to school, you get vaccinated.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Okay, So if you're going to make the argument that
COVID just hasn't been around a lot in the muh
M and.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
R m r RNA m RNA.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
So if you're going to make arguments against that, how
does that go all the way back to polio and tetanus?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
And because you don't, because it's the question is mandate,
The question is of choice. If you don't want your
child to be vaccinated against polio, you should be allowed
to make that choice, and the schools have to let
you in. No one can tell you what to do
(09:15):
with your child except the problem is your kid has
to meet the syllabus of the education system. They have
to teach you reading, writing, arithmetic in public schools. Are
we now going to get the choice? It's up to
the parent to decide whether arithmetic is going to be
(09:35):
taught or not. Or it's up to the parent to
decide what classes should be taught or should not taught.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Now you can put a kid outoo.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Now you throw a kid out of school, but you
still have to meet the requirements.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
In Florida, could a parent decide that their kid has
told them they want to become a woman if they're
or a girl, if they're a boy, do they have
the right to do that.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Oh, the kid has a right to do Yeah, well no,
what do parents do?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
The parents make the choice, so the parents say no,
The parents say no, you have a boy that decides
that he is a girl because he's in the wrong body,
and I believe people are wired that way. Do parents
have a right to remove your tutu when you go
to school? Yes, I yess they do.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
I know.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Well, this is seated in politics, a lot of it.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
May we never forget that there's actual victims in the Epstein.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Saga.
Speaker 6 (10:35):
So women who have said that they were victimized by
Jeffrey Epstein were part of a bipartisan group of House members,
and they want more transparency, just like everybody else in
this federal investigation of the convicted sex offender in his
long time associate. So really emotional press conference on the
(11:00):
steps there of the US Capitol, and survivors are.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Just saying, hey, they they want this stuff to come out.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Those that are backing them are saying, hey, you're only
motive for opposing this information coming out has got to
be to hide something.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
So why And there's a couple of moving pieces here.
One the President yesterday called this straight out a hoax,
a democratic hoax right across the board.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
What the people all of it?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
He called the entire thing, the women coming out, the
Epstein hoax. None of it is true, even in light
of those women who were crying, and they were over
a dozen.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
It's all a hoax. That's for starters.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
The other thing, in terms of asking for this information
to be released, the White House is saying no. The Speaker,
Mike Johnson is backing the White House. So Mike Johnson
will not let a vote on the floor to force
the administration to release that information. So there is a
(12:06):
maneuver in which the House can actually force the can
force the vote. Johnson says no, He's not gonna put
it on the floor. There is a way of forcing
the vote. The White House comes back and says, anybody
who votes for in favor of this vote that it
comes to the floor, anybody votes, it's a hostile act
(12:29):
against the president. You vote to bring this on to
the floor, that's a hostile act. You will see virtually
every Republican falling in line and agreeing that all this
is a hoax. You watch there may be a few
Republicans that are going to go the other way.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Maybe Republican is bipartisan.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, with bipartisan, with maybe four Republicans you said have
joined the fray.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
And then we don't even know. We don't even know.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Marjorie Taylor Green is screaming about this and in the end,
is she going to vote with the President's position?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I say, yes, you think yep.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I don't think she's going to on this one. I
think she's one of the speakers yesterday.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Yes she was.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But when the vote comes votes, yeah, when the vote come.
Though she has not called this a hoax, she is
part of the group that says this is not a hoax.
These are women who have been abused, and I would
think that just a political fall out. Forget about the
moral aspect. I mean, what Trump is doing this is
despicable on a moral ground, saying these women are part
(13:37):
of a hoax, that all this is a lie. I mean,
come on, really, but just the legal issue. You know
how many Republicans are going to line up and they
look at these women crying and literally leaving their guts
on the table saying this happened to me, I was abused,
(14:00):
and the president says that's a hoax.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
None of that is true.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
And he'll have virtually every Republican agree with him in
terms of forcing the vote.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
This is how this is how crazy it has gotten.
This is truly how nuts it has gotten.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
If he said that and he's acting like that, that's
the equivalent of the what's his face that said the
Sandy Hook parents were lying about their kids, Alec.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, it's just on the same line. Yeah, it's it's horrific.
This goes so beyond politics.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And you're right they if.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
There's nothing to hide, there's nothing to hide, there's nothing
to hide. Well, we've released all this information that was
already in the public domain, the stuff that you released.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
How about the stuff that you have that you're failing
to release? All right, let's move on.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Trump loses another round in court.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
Harvard won a legal victory in it's clash with the
Trump administry. A federal judge said that the government had
broken the law by freezing billions of dollars in research
funding in the name of stamping out anti Semitism. Of course,
President Trump is vowed to appeal any decision like this.
The judge said, we must fight against anti semitism, but
(15:18):
we equally need to protect our rights, including our right
to free speech, and neither goal should nor needs to
be sacrificed on the altar of the other.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Here's a question.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The government is arguing we are going to freeze research
dollars because you, Harvard are anti semitic. Harvard comes back
and fixes the problem, straight out fixes it. There is
no more or it's argued that there is no more
anti semitism. So does the government then come back and say, well,
(15:50):
we're going to punish you because there was anti semitism,
and then they move into the wokeism, which is still
probably going on. There are still the DEI programs, which
I think at Harvard are still going on because Harvard
is the only major in university to tell the.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Government to go pound sand. So it is a mess.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
But in the end, does the government have a right
to say these are federal dollars, They are issued by
the executive branch under the NIH and other these are
medical grants we're talking about, you know, we're talking about
research and the cancer. I mean, it's crazy stuff. But
does the government have the right to say no? Probably? Probably.
(16:31):
So my issue is, how do you argue we're fighting
anti semitism if the fight is over and they've done,
and they've done what.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
The government wants.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
The other thing the government wants to do in order
to reinstate the funds, will choose the classes that you
can teach. We will vet the professors, we will vet
the syllabus, what you're going to teach, and how you're
going to teach you and Harvard's saying, no, thanks, ain't
going to happen, all right.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
All right.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Seven months ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that there'd
be a new subcommittee in January, saying that it's going
to uncover the full truth that is owed to the
American people regarding the January sixth attack on the Capitol.
So now House Republicans have voted to establish this new
subcommittee seven months later to reinstate the January sixth attack investigation.
(17:24):
There so they'll be looking into this course. On the
first day in office, Trump issued fifteen hundred full, complete
and unconditional presidential pardons to people who were involved in
the attack, including those who were convicted of violent acts.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Which, okay, so let me ask this to be abhorrent, Okay,
let me ask this. This is what Johnson said. House
Republicans remain intent on delivering the answers that House Democrats
skipped over.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And it is the argument that the.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Nuary sixth attackers were heroes, they were patriots, and the
Democrats refuse to look at the patriotism of them attacking
the capital and trying to undo the election.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Now, what's that committee going to say? What do you think.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Heroes, heroes and patriots. I guarantee that because it's all
it's all political, doesn't matter what it is. President says
one thing, Democrats say no, President says one thing, Republicans
say yes, and no one thinks no.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
One thinks it's all party lines.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
States are going to ban together to save health care.
So the governors of California, Washington, and Oregon have announced
that they're going to put together a West Coast Health
Alliance so they can start coordinating public health guidelines that
are separate from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
They're saying they're doing it because of what's happening at
(19:08):
the CDC. Director Susan Mernarrez was ousted by the White
House after she clashed with RFK Junior on vaccine policy,
and then for their top leaders resigned when she was fired.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
And so this is of course in direct response to
what is happening in Florida, as you point out. And
so this is a fight just continues on, the fight
between blue and red, the fight between blue.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
And President Trump.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Once this public health guidance is established, I guarantee you
Rohn DeSantis is going to go. It really is a
guidance organization that is determined to kill children, because that's
what it's about. Vaccines kill kids, or at least cause autism, insanity.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It just doesn't stop.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Now. Obviously I'm being a hyperbolic there. You're not gonna
hear never. But it's it's gotten crazy. It's gotten completely nuts.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
All right, this story, I feel like we already did,
so why don't we move on to it?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, we did, we did this story.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Times run out for some urgent care workers. This one
is a doozy.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
So several workers in Santa Barbara been fired because they
did a TikTok video.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
They posted it. It went viral.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
It was horrible. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
So it's a bunch of pictures where sand Sum clinic
workers are joking and posing with bodily fluids left on
exam tables. The text over one of the first images
reads are patients allowed to leave you guys gifts? Then
they have staff laughing and pointing and posing around the
(20:59):
stain with the caption guess the substance.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I mean, just yes, horrific.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Let me ask you, Amy, you're our newsperson. Here is
this newsworthy? You got a few people who have gone
who are disgusting human beings who do a TikTok video
have not broken any laws.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
They get fired for doing it. Conversation over, I.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Think it's newsworthy. It's a cautionary tale.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
What don't do that? Don't leave bodily fluids on a
table and pointing.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Look, they didn't leave the bodily fluids. They're saying that
they were left behind by patients.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Ah, so that's even better. So they didn't touch the
bodily fluids. They just said here you go and started laughing.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
About it and to preasures and posted it.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'm going to do I'm going to defer to you.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
You are our newsperson, and I'm always the one that
says this is not newsworthy, and you and the news goes.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Into the point of intense vulnerability to go into an office,
a doctor's office and trust them with what's going on
with your body? And they're posting garbage even though it
can't necessarily be tied to you.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I think it's an invasion. Yeah, this is not a
people doing that.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Yeah, this is I don't think it's a doctor's office.
I think it's a well it's urgent. It is a
doctor's office. Okay, all right, so let's spend even more
time talking about how it isn't news. Why don't we
take a break.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Who wants to pull this tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Who wants to pull handle on the news tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
So I'm not.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
See now you angered her?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Oh look at that? Look who I pissed off? Oh
my god.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Yeah you know what it'd sound like if you did
the show. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Yeah, just everything. Hey, let's get to something else that's rotten. Okay,
how about this rotten? Hey, some kid has been saved rotten.
He'll die next week. Okay, we haven't opit a death.
Amy would like to share it with us.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Georgio Armani has passed away. He died at the age
of ninety one.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Good for him, good long life.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
It is a good long life.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yeah, and everybody goes, oh, we're sad and of course
we're sad because you know, fashion icon and all that.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
But that's a that's a heck of a life. That's
a good run.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
It's a very good run. And he is one of
He has a great perfume line too, doesn't he. I
think he has clothes perfume. He's not going to rot,
it's he's going to smell great. Okay, moving on, more
handle on the news, Amy and Neil and you and me.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
So if you remember, there's a posthumous memoir by the
Jeffrey Epstein accuser, Virginia Guffrey, and I guess the final
draft the family members had some problems with it and
publicly objected to the release, saying that the last draft.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Didn't have all the.
Speaker 6 (24:07):
Accounts leading up to her unfortunate suicide. So her marriage,
they say, collapsed in the months leading up to her death,
and that's.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Not in there, right, And she had written that is
it was positive?
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Yes, so not to be.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Yeah, So they wanted it to be more accurate, and
it sounds like the publishers got to amend that.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
All right, let's do on, because let's invent a new
tax here in California.
Speaker 7 (24:38):
Amy, California is rolling out a new way for the
developers to offset the traffic their projects create. Starting next year,
they can pay into what's called a Vehicle Miles Traveled Fund.
The money would help build affordable housing and infrastructure near
transit areas. Supporters say it's about cutting emissions, but creds say,
(25:00):
come on, let's be real, it's just another tax.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
And it is.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
It is just another tax.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Here's my favorite tax of all time, Sam Ardino, the
Inland Empire. When you develop a piece of property and build,
there is such a thing as a kangaroo rat tax
that you have to pay when building for real, the
kangaroo rat tax. To help look it up, to help
(25:30):
the indigenous, because the kangaroo rat is indigenous to that
area and they have to save it.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
So, okay, welcome to another tax.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
That was Riverside County, not saying yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Right, that was Riverside County. Thanks for the correction. And
what it is is you just make it difficult for developers.
There's no place in the country that's as taxed as
developers are in Southern California.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Kangaroo rats.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Notwithstanding, they're going to come up with a new system
that if you're a small business owner or contractor that
newsom comes out and just punches you in the face
and they got every couple of days, all right. Clippers
deny report that Kaie Leonard evaded the salary cap by
getting twenty eight millions paid.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
By by money that he got through another organization.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But this is a company that's gone bankrupt.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
The weird thing here is that it's funded part of
this aspiration or whatever this company was, was partially funded
by a fifty million investment from the Clippers owner. So
basically they're looking into this tree planting company that paid
Kai Leonard twenty eight million, and they're saying that it
(26:49):
was used to pad his salary past that salary cap.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
So they're going to investigate.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yeah, a big deal here is a big deal story.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Yeah, this is the funicular in Yeah, Lisbon, Spain crashed,
killing at least fifteen people. So the funicular is like
the there's one in la that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Run, right, Yeah, that's Angel's flight that goes up.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
This one goes through the city and it's been around
since the late eighteen hundreds. I mean, it really is
a tourist attraction and used by the people in the
city in Lisbon, so is.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
This one on an incline?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Then part of it is in incline, part of it
is it goes through the city.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
All right, Well, Lisbon has a lot of hills and
this just derailed or I think what they had the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
The street car derailed and crashed.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, the cable that the breaking cable failed, is what
the last the last announcement was.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
Yeah, And they haven't announced like the nationalities of the
people that were killed, as you know, fifteen killed, eighteen injured.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
But it's probably tourists because it's tourist.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
It probably is because it is a tourist attract. You know.
For example, when you go to San Francisco and you
go on a cable car, is there one person from
San Francisco on that cable car? No? No, go to
Las Vegas. Is there one Las Vegas resident that's on
the strip.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Maybe one?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Yeah, who's going to a restaurant?
Speaker 5 (28:20):
You don't think it's San Francisco. They jump on, jump
off if they live there.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I think torri because it's so expensive to get on
that damn thing and you're going, you know, seven feet
and you get to turn the car around on those
turntables at the top and the bottom.
