Amazon laid off three hundred thousand people, but right now
it's very good news for the administration in terms of
the economy.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Okay, Bill, this is saying that Amazon laid off thirty thousand,
not three hundred thousand.

So everybody's spinning out. There's potholes, you know.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I struggle with my commute too every morning.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, it's I have a thirty foot commute and you've
got potholes.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
There's problems.

and you have not good morning. Okay, good morning, and
Kono and the whole crowd is here all right, and
today is great fun. We have Foody Friday coming in
at eight o'clock, and at eight thirty of course has
candle anything, which I guess people are getting to know
(02:32):
a little bit about me and just what you guys
are about in our relationships, which is kind of neat.
And it all came out of the fact that I'm
always asked what you folks are about, Hey, what's Cobilt like,
what's Tim Conway like, what's Neil, like Cono, never anybody
(02:53):
ask about you and so certainly.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Not to me.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And so I thought, you know what, people say, what's
handle like, I thought we'd start that and it's we're
having a great time and it's always too humiliate me.
But that's at eight thirty. We'll do that, okay, And
of course foody Friday. We do have some Costco news
and some other stuff, all right, and we are almost
there well Thanksgiving, But it does anybody or do people
(03:23):
just at this point they're already into the Christmas season
and Thanksgiving just falls by the wayside.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
It's sort of it's here it We're to do it. Now,
let's do Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
You know, Dean was on with Dean Sharp was on
with Conway last night. He said, his trees already up.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
See I'm telling you that I.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Think they tie in. I think Thanksgiving and Christmas can
tie into each other.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
You know what I used to do if I travel, uh,
and if I'm overseas, and I have been overseas during Christmas.
On Christmas, I try to go a mid I try
to go to a midnight Mass, which I've always really
enjoyed because they really pull out all stops of course
Christmas Eve, and I find I find it just beautiful and.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
I miss I miss midnight Mass. Actually remember Catholic days?
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Yeah, and I remember when was the last time I went?
It was? And uh.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
The priests in many different languages welcomes people and talks
about Christmas and what it means. I remember the last
one where the priest talked about how Christians all over
the world were celebrating and how Jesus brought the word
to to the world, and they sing, GOI to the world.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Okay, it's joy. Oh, okay, where you mistake that?
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Okay? Fair enough?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
All right, someone doesn't have mute on that. Yeah, we
do this occasionally, like every morning, and that's not me,
is it? I don't think so maybe it is.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Well we're gonna blame it on Will today.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
And the reason everybody has to be on mute because
we all talk to each other via zoom, and the
zoom is live as we're looking and staring at each other.
So if any of the mics, if any of the
zoom mics.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Are on, is your is your zoom on?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
You see?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
And because she looks displeased, I was just curious if
you could her her zoom is on.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yeah, she wants you to move on.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
I think is is that what she was?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Okay, hey, that's why we have the zooms. You can see.
End's faith's pleasure.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
All right, fair enough, she starts giving you the same guy,
it's time to go.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Okay, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I just you know, wanted to get into Christmas and
Thanksgiving and all of that, and so we're gonna have
a good time. And December a second is pastapon at
the Anaheim White House. We'll talk about that, and uh
an appearance that Neil's gonna make tomorrow and Tim Conway tonight,
so all of that.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Tiffany Hobbes is joining us tomorrow too.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
She's gonna broadcast right after us at the oh at
the Windy's there in Mission Viejo.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
So that okay, that sounds like fun all the way around.
So let's do it. Handle on the news with Amy,
Neil and me. Sorry, you're still a trader.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So yeah, it's a big time story that I love
this one. This is the president going on truth social
and just completely out of control. And I'm going to
talk a lot about this because I'm going to give
you the law, of which he is completely wrong about.
And I'm going to give tell you what the Democrats
(06:36):
said when they were telling troops you do not have
to follow illegal orders, which actually is the law. And
by saying what they did, they are not traders, they
are not guilty of sedition.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
They cannot be executed.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And so I'll get into that because that's just fun,
fun stuff. Of course, what Caroline Levitt said the president,
she ignored.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
That it's the Democrats.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's whose fault it is, you know, but the President said,
to execute these people. It's the Democrats. It's the Democrats,
all right, how typical. I'm going to really get into
that and give you a little bit of the law too,
and then I'm going to give you a history of
someone who actually was convicted of sedition and treason back
out of World War Two. Great, great story I want
(07:27):
to share with you. So that's coming up at seven.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Okay, this looks like it was an accident waiting to happen.
Federal investigators have released photos from that ups cargo plane
crash in Kentucky that killed fourteen people, including the four
crew on board. They say that there was evidence of
cracks in the left wing's engine mount, and they released
(07:50):
some photos showing the back of the engine start to
detach before the engine flew up and over the wing
as flames erupted. The next picture shows the wing just
completely engulfed in fire as the burning engine flies above it,
and then the last one shows the plane just starting
to get airborne.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
It didn't last very long.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It got off the ground and then almost immediately crashed.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And that's the connection. And it looks like it was
fatigue metal fatigue because.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It was always is that it wasn't scheduled for an
in depth inspection for another seven thousand takeoffs and landings.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, And the only way you can actually inspect that
particular problem at that particular preate place is with an
X ray, and they do x rays, but this one is.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
They have to do it.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, well, I mean it's expensive and what parts of
it and what parts of the plane do you do
the X ray on, because there are so many parts
that fail now it all has to be X rayed.
When they redo a plane completely and tear it apart,
and they be basically rebuild the frame or rebuild a
plane from the frame from the studs.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
But this was checked the motors, the engines.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Oh yeah, the motors are checked like crazy. Everything is checked.
So all right, all right, we knew one more.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Okay, this is bizarre, absolutely bizarre.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You've got the US Coast Guard will no longer classify
the swastika as an emblem of fascism and white supremacy,
inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and
the deaths of more than four hundred thousand US troops
who died fighting World War Two. Also, it will just
be seen as potentially divisive. Also, the Confederate flag and
(09:46):
the news.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
This is new policy down from Pete hegsith, Wow, we
should God name would never be we should be, but
he said, we should be great for that. We're not
supplanting the American flag with a swastika on the tails
of our airplanes.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
There is nothing you can I don't care if you're
conservative or what your political beliefs are, there is nothing
that justifies this as reasonable in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, and we'll see how many Republicans start screaming about this.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
The most you're going to hear is that's unfortunate. That's it.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
That's all you're gonna hear much like what Trump said
in his post. You don't hear one Republican say he
is out of his mind. That is simply not true
what he've said. No, that's unfortunate. I wouldn't use language
like that. Okay, I'm going to talk a lot about this.
(10:51):
And now the swastika is it's no longer basically a
hate and death. I mean, come on, I don't even
know what you do with this stuff. I do not
know what you do with this.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I'm gonna cut off your head and flush it down
a toilet. And now that's divisive.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Oh, and it's my turn. The buses got booted. The
LA Lakers have fired Jesse and Joey Buss.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Name sound familiar well. Their dad, Jerry Buss, owned the team.
Jesse Buss was the Lakers assistant GM. Joey was described
as a vice president of research and development. Jeanie Bus,
their sister, is going to be remaining in her role
as primary governor, at least for now. The ouster the
Bus brothers comes on the heels of that blockbuster agreement
(11:38):
to sell the family's majority ownership share to billionaire Mark Walter,
who also owns the Dodgers and the Sparks, and also
has ownership in the Premier League soccer club Chelsea FC.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Now she actually ran does run the Lakers. I mean
she is it, isn't she she? Yeah, she was the
haun show, the primary governor, got it?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Governor of a team?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
All right, fair enough, all right, today's the day Trump
meets with Mom Donnie and they're gonna do it at
the White House.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Of course. He is New York City mayor elect.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
And he made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump.
He said, since I know you're watching, and I love
that what he was talking on TV. I know you're watching.
I have four words for you. Turn the volume up.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
They were going, it's good. I should be a very
interesting meeting. Trump said he's not going to give New
York any money or reduced the amount of money because a
communist is now a is the mayor and so he's.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
A democratic socialist.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
But yeah, so he's not a communist.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
Well he's no.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
But he wants to take away private ownership and wants
state run and grocery stores and wants don't you think.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
He wants to take private ownership? I mean, what companies
is he arguing to take. Now, sometimes utilities I have
been taken, but mostly misfat immunists own you know, they
do own the utilities. I think he wants minimum wage,
he wants free rent, he wants free bus rides.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
That's not taking over the buses.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's freeze rent right again, But that's not private ownership.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That is just not private ownership. Or buildings aren't private ownership.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah, that he is not saying he's taking over.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
He's not nationalizing effect or city.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
No.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think he's a little far out, do you Yeah,
I think he's a lot far out. I mean, how
you get free rent? I mean or rent stabilization? I know, sorry,
how to get rent stabilization? So how about landlords? What
do they do? And how about running running free buses?
Where does that money come from? That's the point, all right?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Moving on, Well, the vice president has stepped in it
with the Indian people.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Apparently when JD.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Vance told a stadium of thousands that he hold his
wife would one day be moved by the Christian gospel
the same way he was, he apparently ticked off a
lot of Indians. Vance converted to Catholicism in twenty nineteen.
His wife, Usha was raised in a Hindu household, and
he said, like many people of an inner faith, marriage
(14:18):
though he hopes his wife may see things as he
does one day, but will continue to support her regardless.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
And she's not even talking about becoming a Christian. She
is a Hindu.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
And matter of fact, she said, she's kind of agnostic.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Oh yeah, but she's not about to switch. And when
she's he said that, of course, he said. She said
to him, well, how about Vishnu? And what did he say?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Neil nothing, Vishnu with you exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Vishnu Vishnu with you, all right, a joke that I
have used for years and still does not work.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Oh, people, give me.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
That was the first time I've ever heard it, is it? Yeah,
I've also been working with you for two years.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Vishnu Vishnu you? Okay?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Oh boy, okay.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
So evacuations at the COP thirty, you have the climate
talks going on in Brazil, and there was a fire
and so what I read there's still not a reason
for it. But you got to understand there's a lot
of these canvas, like little sectionals that separate people and
(15:25):
stuff like that, and apparently this fire briefly spread through
the pavilion that was being used there for the UN
Climate talks there in Brazil's.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
What actually happened. Okay, they were talking about global warming
and wanted to prove a point. I've lit this style.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Watch, I bet you this will bird. So thirteen people,
unfortunately were treated for smoke inhlation. But other than that,
no one else was harmed. It was controlled in six
or seven minutes. But yeah, just huge flames on one
of the pavilion.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
People running around, running around videoing.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
It's always a lot of fun before you see everything
on video these days.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
All right, Uh, looks like something that's snuck in is
going to be taken out. Well, maybe remember when they
passed the bill to open the government up again, there
was a provision put in there that would allow senators
to sue the Justice Department for seizing or issuing subpoenas
for their data without notifying them. So the House voted
(16:30):
on Wednesday night to repeal that provision. They wanted to
take it out the language drafted in response to Special
Council Jacksmith's investigation into President Trump's involvement in the January
sixth attack on the Capitol. The FBI got phone data
from at least eight Senators and one House member from
the days before and after the attack without them knowing
(16:52):
about it. So the provision was in there, the House
took it out. Now it goes to the Senate. What
happens there, we don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Oh you no comment?
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Huh okay?
Speaker 5 (17:06):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So Trump, they continue to try to put a bit
in this man's mouth. The federal judge there in Washington
temporarily blocked the Trump administration yesterday.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
This has to deal.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
With maintaining more than those two thousand members of the
National Guard there in Washington, d C. They believe the
court believes that the city was likely to succeed in
arguing the deployment was illegal, so put a block on Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
For Yeah, there are a couple things about that. First
of all, bringing in a national guard from other states.
There is an issue there declaring the what was happening
in DC and other cities a national emergency, and the
court saying, come on, you can't declare everything a national
(18:01):
emergency to justify bringing in troops, which you're not, under
the law allowed to do unless there's a national emergency.
And this will go up Supreme Court. And I do
believe the court will give the Trump administration, and we'll
say to Donald Trump or any president, whatever you say
is a national emergency, is a national emergency under any circumstances.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
You call it. If you build it, they will come.
So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Nanoplastics are nasty. A recent experiment involves some mice who
were fed small amounts of polystyrene for three months tasty.
Right after that time, the mice had damaged intestinal aligning
and higher liver inflammation. That inflammation can lead to Parkinson's disease.
So scientists have issued a warning after discovering that even
(18:54):
low dose exposure to the nanoplastics can cause Parkinson's.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And how do you lower your exposure to uh, nanoplastics.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Don't eat polystyrene.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
That's what If you even know what polystyrene is?
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Well, isn't it the styrophone cups?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
I guess it is? That what it is?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I don't even know because all these uh, these products
have totally different names, by carbonates and by I don't
I don't even know, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
In different Oh, I use this stuff all the time
in my shop. It's uh.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I use a denser version of it. But yeah, it's uh,
it's out there already.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
CDC website has going through some change. Uh, the scientific
information in the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website.
Just this Wednesday they did a little update there and
now it has the anti vaccine talking points that it's
kind of weird the way it's worded there, but it
doesn't rule out a link between vaccines and autism, even
(19:54):
though there's an abundance of evidence that says there's no connection.
They have these bullet points on there.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, we have a.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Health in Human Services secretary who believes in his heart
of hearts that vaccines do cause autism. And so now
on the CDC information page where the website, we are
not saying that it doesn't even though science says it doesn't.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
You can't prove a negative. What you do it's correct?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, well, no, what's going to end up happening? And
this is just me and I'm guessing, okay, this is
me prognostic. Prognosticating is the next missive will be that
vaccines do cause autism as a matter of medical certainty,
and we are going to make vaccines illegal and anybody
(20:51):
actually putting a vaccine into their kids will go to
prison for five years. Maybe I'm exaggerating here, Maybe there's
a little high superbly here.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
I think they should do a study on why Kennedy's
get weirder and weirder looking as they get further away
from the sixties.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, I mean, just.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Size are too close. He's an odd looking fellaw.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The Vice president says we all need to pack our patients.
Vice President Vance acknowledged the Trump administration is facing growing
skepticism over its economic record and says, you know what,
we all need to have a little patients ahead of
what is predicted would be an eventual economic boom.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
A point to be made.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Let's say President Trump was visiting southern California and he
points outside and says, the sun is shining.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
The fundamental Magas supporters would tell you the sun is shining.
Even walking outside and getting drenched, it's still the sun
is shining. The President said, prices are down. Prices have
gone down. I'm guessing that fundamentalist MAGA supporters agree prices
(22:06):
are down. Now for the rest of us, we find
prices a little more expensive, less down, less down, you
bet you? And Vance said, Okay, maybe prices aren't down,
They've gone up, but have patience.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
And of course, what is the reason for all this.
You kick it all back to Biden.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's it's Biden's fault and naturally, but anyways, it's first
time the administration has actually recognized that prices have.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
In fact increased.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I think President Trump a few weeks ago said we
need some patience, but he didn't come back and say
prices were up. I think it had to do with
tariffs more than anything else. So just a quick word,
even amongst you MAGA supporters, and I know you, I
know you don't believe me.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
It's raining outside moving on.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Nope, that's the sweat from Democrats as they sweat Trump
so much.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
It is.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
That's true, all right, on that very note, What is up?
Speaker 5 (23:14):
What is down?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You've got the Justice Department, you know, looking over thing
and insisting that the Komi indictment was properly approved, trying
to keep this case afloat. Handle's been covering this quite
in depth about the issues that it has. So this
is a day after the Justice Department acknowledged to a
federal judge that the full grand jury hasn't even reviewed
(23:37):
the final indictment.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
A former FBI direct.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
It's in trouble. Yeah, the indictments in trouble.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I think the judge is going to dismiss it out
right because and the attorney who's representing the government, who
is basically had no idea what she's doing. Lindsay Halligan
has never prosecuted a case ever. And even when she
went in front of the grand jury to indict, you know,
she practiced and practiced and practiced, and had senior prosecutors
(24:06):
of the DOJ work with her and work with her.
It was a rehearsal. And now the judges going, well
how about this, and the answer it's a good answer
that the government had, Uh is not.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I mean I'm sure that happens quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
No, not with senior No, not with senior DOJ attorneys.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
No rehearsal. You just go in and do the indictment
because their experience, this is what they do. Anyway, the
point I'm making is this is a political appointment and
this is going to fail completely because they didn't do
what they have to do.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Didn't follow the rules.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Moving on, can't we all just be a little nicer
to each other. The Department of Transportation is urging air
travelers to be nice and be civil as we head
into what's expected to be a record setting holiday travel season.
The Department of Transportation says it hopes that people will
(25:08):
restore courtesy and class to air travel, things like dressing
with respect, helping elderly people lift their bags, keeping kids
under control, saying please and thank you, especially to flight attendants.
I agree with this, but you know that there were
twenty ninety six separate incidents involving unruly passengers just last year.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
Isn't that insane?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yes, I got some feedback. Last time I traveled. I
had a very heavy bag that I turned to someone
who is eighty five years old to say, hey, pick
this up for me.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
This is heavy as hell. Okay. By the way, there's
more truth to that than not.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
No one's doubting you.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Okay.
