and I today start something really interesting. And this is
for Zelman's and we you know, Zelman's and Neil and
I you know, we are hand in hand, face to face,
(02:38):
cheek to cheek. So something unusual is happening today. We'll
be talking about it more throughout the morning. Zelman's just
having a flash sale. It's just a KFI flash sale,
stocking up for the holidays, and it's twenty twenty five
percent off the entire site. I mean, anything you buy
is twenty five percent off. And we're going to be
(02:59):
also talking about using Zelmens as stocking stuffers, which are
perfect for stocking stuffers now starting a couple of years ago,
I had no idea. You know, what do I know
from stocking stuffers. We were never in my family, so
obviously I got involved with Lindsay's family and they do
the Christmas tree and the stocking stuffers. And what I found,
(03:22):
what I tried a couple of years ago, is putting
a Matza ball in those stockings. I don't, I don't.
I don't recommend that. I really moisture a lot of moisture.
It's just not consider.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yourself a Jew born anew now, oh gets right, a
born again Jew.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, you're a Jew born a new Jew. As a Jew,
a Jew, you a Christian? Well, I'm making her more
of a Christian than.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You're going to be broke by next year.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Let me tell you something, as a matter of fact,
the rest of us. As a matter of fact, when
we first got together, Uh, she offered a convert and
you got all the books and everything together jerking. No,
she was not. She was not joking, let me tell you.
And I said, what are you doing? She goes, well,
I'd like to convert. I go, no, you don't. You
will not, And she goes, why not, because I've already
(04:15):
been married to a Jewish woman. I've done that once,
so I'm not doing that again.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So no, I am not converting, Thank you very much.
Monster balls in the stockings? Okay, Uh, what else is
going on? Let me see, let me see.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We had a couple of.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Good Are you guys gonna bust out the Dreidel? Are
you going to do any jewishness? Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The jewishness is the gifts that I give. That's the
Jewish part.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I see you go around and and take thirty percent
of the stocking stuffers.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I do you're going to light I have two menors.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You're not gonna light them?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, of course we have.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's the Jewish part. Yeah, it is a Jewish part.
And then Michelle gave me a minora. You know, they
have the eight candles. And she gave me a model
of a Tyrannosaurus Rex with the little candle holders along
the back of the Tyrannosaurus wreck. So we call it
(05:21):
our Minorasaurus rex and we put we put it up.
A matter of fact, we reput it up again. That
put up the minora Saurus rex. That was Michelle Cube
who gave me that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I heard Trump got very excited when he heard about
lighting the minorities.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And then someone had to say, mister president.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That's very strong. By the way, Neil, that's that's that's good. No,
that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Don't get offended. Cono. It didn't really go, but I
thought it went. Of course, anything about Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I was going to use John Coebelt, and then I
thought Trump might you know I saw through it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It was my you're right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
All right, guys, we got some great news. By the way,
I give Trump the credit when I think credit is due.
You know, for example, grabbing that oil tanker, I think
it was one percent appropriate. And the other six that
are out there, I think the US should grab those too,
And I'm sure that's going to be up for discussion
(06:22):
over the next few days. But first it's time for
Handle on the News with Amy neil Me lead story.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
We get out.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, so here's the Trump story not so good. Do
you remember when President Trump ran for office the first
time out, he said that the Republicans have a health plan.
Within weeks, we're going to have it. We'll have it
on the table. And then here we are, what fifteen
sixteen years later, no, twelve years later, and there is
(06:52):
no health plan. Of course, the Democrats have a health plan,
and that's simply the extension of the subsidies of Obamacare.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's their health plan.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We have a health plan, good bad, It may not
be wonderful, but we want to extend those subsidies. The
Republicans are fighting at tooth and nail. That was the
issue of the shutdown, by the way, those subsidies that
the Republicans are fighting. So now the President says we
can work together on healthcare. Well, it can't work together
(07:21):
because the Republicans are dead set against those subsidies. The
Democrats are dead set in favor of extending those subsidies.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And the problem is is that.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Republicans talk about how horrible Obamacare is, how horrible, so
and they say we're going to come up with an alternative.
They never have. It's all lip service. They've never come
up with any kind of alternative. So we're going to
see that going on. And by the way, do you
remember the last time the President said Republicans and Democrats
(07:51):
can work together on anything?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
No, it sounded weird. Actually didn't thought it was ai.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Uh yeah, yeah. Oh, and healthcare premiums January December thirty first,
it's going to explode Americans, twenty million of them, twenty
five million of them. Well, we just can't afford healthcare.
They'll they'll be out of the out of the level
of being able to pay for healthcare, double triple, quadruple
(08:19):
in certain cases.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I think the bill was called suck it up and
get a job. They were trying to pass out.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Oh no, they have plenty. No, these are people who
have good jobs. The problem is, Yeah, the problem is
a healthcare I know you're smart ass, but I want
to point that out because there are plenty of people
that don't work.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Our insurance is broken.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's completely broken. The system is completely broken. I'm not
arguing that. All I'm saying is that they're based on
the system we have today. Obamacare kicked in twenty something
million people that have insurance medical insurance, and it has
certain levels and does it'll make a lot of sense
to a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I believe in a single payer. That's it, you know
the HM. I go to Kaiser and just here's my
monthly copey and I'm done. But we'll never get there
because that's socialized, communist medicine except for people over sixty five.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I would like to know all the legislators who are
over sixty five. How can they accept medicare and scream
about socialism for people that aren't covered by medical.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, insurance is socialism and it's.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yes, it is to some extent, but that's everybody. But
that's true, but that's everybody paying. You have a good point.
It spreads the risk what single payer spreads the risk
across the entire United States? Absolutely, that's absolutely true. Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I don't smoke, drink, vaccine, or chew or hang out
with women that do. The FDA now looking for very
serious warnings on COVID vaccines. So the US Food and
Drug Administration tends to put a black what they for
to his black box warning on COVID nineteen vaccines. Yeah,
(10:07):
this is the same stuff, by the way, that goes
on opioids.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I know there's no evidence for this. I mean there's
when you talk about Yeah, there's none. I mean, it's
just crazy. Anything has to do with vaccines is bad.
Anything has to do with vaccines is evil.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It should be illegal living.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But yeah, you you wait, by the time the Trump
administration ends, and I said this, Robert Kennedy is going
to do everything he can uh to kill vaccinations in
this country because they are evil, because they kill people,
because they are horrific. There's there's now a measles outbreak.
(10:50):
It's coming, it's here. There's now hundreds of people who
have measles. It was eradicated. It was eradicated.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I don't think there's a measles outbreak right now.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
There certainly is heard on the news several hundred people
now have U now have measles, and they say it's
they think it's coming out of one church. And of
course nobody was vaccinated. The kids weren't vaccinated. You can yeah,
I don't know if that's I think so, But it's
gotten worse. There are now several hundred cases. You can
(11:19):
look that up. By the way. The other thing that
the FAA doesn't want to do, Neil, is you to
take Amy stories.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Burn Burn.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh you're up again, Neil. You want to steal my namy.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I want you to know, we've.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Got to go back to We've got to go back
to mistake when the Mexican does it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I stole it. That's correct.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Okay, that is correct. And you had better. You had
better have parked my car in the right place. I'm
telling you, Okay, moving on.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I always do, sir, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The Charlie Kirk accused shoot Tyler Robinson is popped up
in the Utah court room for the first time in person,
and this was yesterday. Attorneys argued, obviously how much access
the media can have in the criminal case. These things
obviously go nationwide and beyond. And that's always the question
(12:20):
on these things is how much access are we going.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
To get media wise?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
But he was very calm, hands were handcuffed in front
of him, a blue button up shirt, pink tie.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Okay, Now, why is that? I think about this for
a moment. Usually when someone in custody appears in court
in front of the judge. Only they have the prison
outfits on. They are shackled. And why do you think
he had a coat and tie on, or at least
a tie and a long sleeved shirt and you couldn't
see the handcuffs. They made absolutely sure the cameras didn't
(12:55):
see the handcuffs. I'll tell you exactly why as you go, really, Bill, Yes,
here is the reason this case has such enormous publicity,
such enormous adverse publicity to many many people. That the
fear is that first of all, the jury is going
to be tainted by him being in handcuffs and being
(13:16):
sewn shackled, and also limiting the amount of media in there.
Keep in mind that media is allowed in courtrooms. We
have open courtrooms in this country. That's the philosophy. We
have open court which is why anybody can get in
line to see any case under any circumstances, except when
you have exitgen circumstances, for example, adverse publicity like in
(13:40):
this case, and the reason for a change of venue,
that sort of thing. Thought I would throw that out
at you. I don't know if that helped, but well
there you are, well, thank.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You for that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
This is when Neil actually gives me some kudos. Oh
you finally.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I know you're an incredibly smart man, and that's silly
and I respect the hell out of you.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Anybody said otherwise, I don't kiss your Yeah, I understaid. Okay, Amy,
you actually have a story to do, and Neil.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Wants to steal it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Of course. Yes, put up your hands.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is out and he's going to stay out.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
So a judge release ordered.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Him to be released from detention yesterday. He was released
last night. Then this morning the judge also issued a
temporary restraining order so immigration agents can't pick him up again.
Abrego Garcia is the guy from El Salvador who was
living in Maryland. Remember, he got caught up in that
(14:40):
immigration sweep and was deported to the Seacott Megaprison in
El Salvador, and then he was brought back to the
US and then he was arrested on human trafficking charges
and then he was released, and then he was detained
and now he's out again.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, back and forth, and the government says he is
an MS thirteen member.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
He denies that, and also.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The the trafficking of human beings.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He's denying that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But man, he bound this was a ping pong ball
where he went back and forth and back and forth.
What really got the court pissed off because there was
a stop the detention and they went forward with it. Anyway, Oh,
bless you. How much of that sneeze did you catch?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I got a little on my lip.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, Well, you don't want to do is look at
my microphone sock. I'll tell you that right now, or like.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
A microphone sponge.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well, you know, he doesn't get good publicity by the
fact that kill is actually.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
In his name. It's a little rough when you're trying
to be innocent.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Anyways, Trump trying to take away some of the sovereignty
of the states. He says he signed an executive order
and basically what he wants is to block states from
enforcing their own specific AI regulations. He says that he
wants to have one central source of approval coming out
(16:04):
of the Oval Office there yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, he's got a point.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I mean, if you have fifty states, each of one
having different regulations.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Richard Murrow talked about this, and.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Even the we have had with these companies, we have
that with all kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's true, but it's faster.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You bet you.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
AI is very different because everybody is going to use
and does use AI, every business, every individual. AI is
so all pervasive that I think you have to have
national laws.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I agree with the President of the I agree with
the president on this one.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh on, get him off the floor, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Plug him up or else.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
LA Counties filed an environmental lawsuit against oil and gas
well operators. The goal of the lawsuit is to get
them to address what lawyers call dangers to human health
and environment caused by unplugged, idle, and exhausted oil and
gas wells in the Inglewood oil field.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
UH.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
The pseudo ledges that the oil companies failed to properly
decommission and plug the old oil and gas wells, causing
toxic pollutants to leak leak into the air, the water,
and the land.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
UH.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
One of the companies has responded saying that lawsuit was
filed without justification and its allegations contradict years of scientific
work done by the state and county Well.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, and one of the attorneys for one of these
companies pointed out that the County of Public Health just
conducted a health assessment. An environmental justice study said, no,
no evidence of any pollution or any leakatrom the oil
these oil wells.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
So but then why are they? Why are they because.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Because environmentalists tend to be nuts, That's why. Because there
is a streak of uh nuttiosity going through the environmental
uh movement.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, but isn't oil natural?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
In that state? They're just digging in that.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, but it is natural. But what ends up happening
when you cap these wells? First of a lot of
natural gas comes out of these wells and the environment.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's part of the environment. So is botulism. So I think,
really exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Batulism is caused by uh in oil wells between natural things.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
That's no, everything, every every process is somehow natural. And
what they do invent uh new molecules. Hey, I think
science has the ability to do that. But yes, it's
all natural. They invented COVID they certainly no kidding, no kidding,
it's so civic cats. Uh, it's that Kentucky fried bat
(18:59):
that's right next to that in Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
All right, so bass is looking for money. Don't touch
the homeless money. But she needs four hundred I mean
four point four million, rather to hire more LAPD.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That's just a drop in the bucket for the homeless money.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah yeah, no, homeless money. It sings billions in the billions,
yeah yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
But she needs this to hire another four hundred and
change cops officers because we are in a deficit when
it comes to law enforcement here.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yes, yeah, what's go ahead. No, she was already sett
in terms of numbers. She was set for two forty
and she wants to make it to four hundred.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah, so that was the original two hundred and forty
officers were authorized earlier in the year. But you know,
because public safety and all that stuff, So she's looking
for this four point four million. Otherwise, the hiring stops
in January. So by a gun, third.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Strike and you're out. Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia has declined to
indict Letitia James, New York's Attorney General.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Again.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
This is the third time grand jury has declined to indict.
They refused to charge James in connection with making false
claims on a mortgage application that the Trump administration has
been pushing for.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Well, technically speaking, it's twice. The grand jury has said no.
The first time there was an indictment, and that was
by Lindsay Halligan, who was the acting US Attorney in Virginia,
who had been put there by President Trump. After the
actual acting Attorney General turned down the case against Letitia
(20:51):
James because he said there isn't enough evidence here.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
He was tossed.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So they brought in this gal, Lancey Halligan, who has
never prosecuted a case once in her life. She's never
prosecuted a traffic ticket, and she got an indictment. It
was close. And then that indictment was thrown out for
technical reasons and the judge rule that that indictment had
to fail. So now they try twice more to get
(21:16):
a grand jury to indict, and the grand jury says nope, nope.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
They could keep on.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Going every week until the grand jury is done. Grand juries.
I don't know if the eighteen months or a year
in Virginia, but you can do it as often. I
wonder if they're gonna do it a third time, a
fourth time, a fifth time.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Who the hell knows. If you can't beat them, join them.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Disney is in it to win it with a big
deal one billion dollars. As a matter of fact, between
Disney and Open Ai. They announced this yesterday and there's
you know, still more details that are going to come
out on this, but really what it is is they're
going to license certain characters, whether it's Marvel or Pixar,
(22:01):
Star Wars, all these ips in intellectual properties that they own.
That means costumes, props, vehicles, environs, all these things.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
To be used in AI.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
So instead of you know, battling every time somebody uses AI,
they're looking at this going, hey, we're going we want
to partner and find ways to do this that is
more controlling but allows people that use AI to create
vignettes or small little videos or things like that to
(22:37):
use some of the characters.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Assumes comes at a cost.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, oh yeah, well this first of all, it's only
open AI that company. Yeah, and and Disney is paying
a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, so this that that puts them in the AI
game in a different way big time.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I'm looking forward to seeing the AI things that are
going to pop up in the parks then, like photos
and like you can make little videos at the park.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, yourself, You'll be able to create your own whole
New World.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, and it'll be small, Amy, cratch yourself a whole new world.
Get it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Did you get it? Bill?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I did? Ok And then I added and it's small.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, but you say this because you get it. Did
you get it?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I got it?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Okay, Grid, we should do that for the rest of
the show.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Did you get it?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Did you get it?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Oh? I didn't get it?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
I mean now, Okay, watch out for who's walking around.
LAPD's been doing a sting operation in Woodland Hills and
people are apparently not very happy about it. So they've
got people who appear to be playing clothes officers crossing
the street, and they're crossing outside of a marked crosswalk,
(23:53):
and the drivers who aren't stopping for them as is
required by law, are then getting pulled over by the
motorcycle cops who were kind of hidden away on a
side street.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Who stops for Well, let me put it this way.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You have a pedestrian, this is at a crosswalk, okay,
and the light is green, and the pedestrian has the
right of way. Getting a scenario which happens to me
all the time at a crosswalk. So the pedestrian is
walking across and after hitting the median part the middle
of the street. Then you pull to the right if
(24:29):
you're making a right turn while the person is in
the crosswalk at the far end.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Do you do that?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I do that constantly. I do not wait until the
person hits the curb on the other end. Does anybody wait? No,
I don't think that's against it. That's against the law.
You could just for that one where they are though, right,
like you, Yeah, it's more I mean, it's more fun
when they're, you know, the curb closest to you. Can
you have a good chance of hitting them and having
them dodge the car.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, I get it. That's more entertaining. I've seen the
video though.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
It's funny that you've got this cup on a cup
sitting there and then these guys walking across the street
and the second someone passes, he's like what.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I mean, yeah, and away from I know, it's kind
of crazy. If there's something behind you. Pedestrians should not
have the right away. They should not mulm down.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
The five pound vehicle should okay? Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Indiana GOP rejects Trump's map. You know this is there
is some pushback, at least we see it on occasion
when it comes to Trump and this is all that
jerrymanderin garbage. So a lot of pressure from President Trump,
and they kind of ignored that.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
They said no, they said no, get you get on
the wrong end of Trump. You're in a lot of
trouble if you are a Republican and he's made a real,
real plane he does all the time. If you was
a Republican voting against me, you're in a lot of trouble.
Although that threat, I think is getting less and less viable.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I kind of feel that way too.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I don't know why, but I feel like there has
been some pushback in.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'll tell you why, because some of the promises that
were made are not being kept. And the big, big
one where I think the President is losing a lot
of his ammunition and his oomph and his gravitas has
to do with the economy. It's right there, it's real
with our no no, but this one is a big one.
I mean, he won based on the Biden economy and inflation,
(26:36):
which was legit as far as running, and now he
is running.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
He is running the country.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Based on the fact that prices are down and you
are in great shape. For those of you that look
around and go, wow, things have gotten expensive as we
talk over the last couple of years or last year,
how prices have gotten expensive. That's a hoax. And let
me tell you that's wearing thin. That's why I think
(27:04):
that's where he's losing his political momentum.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Hard to call it a hoax when it's coming out
of our wallet.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Well, yeah, it's a hard I read that argument is thinning.
And the longer the president is away from the election,
the harder he is going to be able to blame
Biden for anything negative. So yeah, that's why I think
he is losing a lot of his momentum.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
USC may be playing in a shiny new stadium temporarily,
the Trojans may have to play some of their twenty
twenty eight home games at Sofi Stadium instead of their
normal venue because of the Olympics. So the Olympics only
and a couple of weeks before the season starts, and
(27:54):
for the Olympics at La Memorial Coliseum. They had to
spend like one hundred billion dollar dollars to revamp some things.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
One hundred million. One hundred million?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Oh did I say billion? You did well?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
You spent a lot of money Anyway, they spent like
one hundred million dollars to put a temporary track in
for the track and field events. They're going to have
to take all that out and they are worried that
they won't get it done in time.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
So how do you put in a temporary track and
spend one hundred million dollars doing it? Doesn't that seem insane?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
They had to install track eleven feet above the field
that stretches over the first few rows of the stadium
seating because it's not fine, it's not big enough.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All right, one hundred million dollars. The entire Colisseum cost
eighty cents to build, much less one hundred million dollars now,
all right, So anyway, SOFI stadium, which means that and
gets to see some gay as some Olympic games.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Well US game.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh no, is it going to be that section that
you work in or they get They probably won't have
that because that's a field level And yeah, I'm not
sure what's gonna happen with that. Yeah, I don't think So, okay,
let's do another couple of stories.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Neil, Neil, Sorry, there is a new.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Protection against ultra violet A and b raise low levels
of absorption through the skin into the body, and it
is being accepted by the FDA as a new ingredient
inside inside sunscreen.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, yeah, protect your skin melanoma no.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Melono muh uh okay, bem o tries and all.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I think we have a last story.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Amy Elon Musk needs money.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
SpaceX is looking to raise more than twenty five billion dollars.
They're going to do an IPO in twenty twenty six.
Good boost the rocket maker's valuation to over a trillion dollar.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Apparently, the move to go public.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Is largely driven by the rapid expansion of Starlink, you know,
the satellite internet business, and also plans for direct to
mobile service and progress on its Starship rocket program for
Moon and Mars missions.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, these are separate companies.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
We're talking about SpaceX as a separate company, which it is.
It's this is not Tesla, This is not what a
lot of people think is John. This is probably the
best rocket company in the world. It has it does
eighty percent of the world's launches eighty percent, and has
created Starlink, which is the best communications system out there.
(30:41):
Starlink puts everybody on the planet in touch with cell
phone service.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I mean, this is good stuff. I just talked.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I was talking on money a guy yesterday and he
sent me an article about how this is this is
solid SpaceX. Don't buy a Tesla.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You're weird about that. Tesla's. Tesla's are gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
No, No, Tesla's aren't. Tesla's are a little tinny. Tesla's
are They're just not that well built. I just don't
think they're that well built.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
My brother has a couple of them, and I will
tell you one of them is almost ten years old.

There are cars that were built in the forties that
look brand new.

You had a.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Car that was in the shop constantly, very high end,
very expensive, and I had the same make different model,
a lower model, and it was never in the shop
because you don't know how to take care of gadgets.
The more the more complex the car is, the less
(32:04):
you know how to use it.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I've had I've had Beamers now for twenty five years.

and I today start something really interesting. And this is
for Zelman's and we you know, Zelman's and Neil and
I you know, we are hand in hand, face to face,
(02:38):
cheek to cheek. So something unusual is happening today. We'll
be talking about it more throughout the morning. Zelman's just
having a flash sale. It's just a KFI flash sale,
stocking up for the holidays, and it's twenty twenty five
percent off the entire site. I mean, anything you buy
is twenty five percent off. And we're going to be
(02:59):
also talking about using Zelmens as stocking stuffers, which are
perfect for stocking stuffers now starting a couple of years ago,
I had no idea. You know, what do I know
from stocking stuffers. We were never in my family, so
obviously I got involved with Lindsay's family and they do
the Christmas tree and the stocking stuffers. And what I found,
(03:22):
what I tried a couple of years ago, is putting
a Matza ball in those stockings. I don't, I don't.
I don't recommend that. I really moisture a lot of moisture.
It's just not consider.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yourself a Jew born anew now, oh gets right, a
born again Jew.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, you're a Jew born a new Jew. As a Jew,
a Jew, you a Christian? Well, I'm making her more
of a Christian than.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You're going to be broke by next year.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Let me tell you something, as a matter of fact,
the rest of us. As a matter of fact, when
we first got together, Uh, she offered a convert and
you got all the books and everything together jerking. No,
she was not. She was not joking, let me tell you.
And I said, what are you doing? She goes, well,
I'd like to convert. I go, no, you don't. You
will not, And she goes, why not, because I've already
(04:15):
been married to a Jewish woman. I've done that once,
so I'm not doing that again.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So no, I am not converting, Thank you very much.
Monster balls in the stockings? Okay, Uh, what else is
going on? Let me see, let me see.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We had a couple of.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Good Are you guys gonna bust out the Dreidel? Are
you going to do any jewishness? Uh?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
The jewishness is the gifts that I give. That's the
Jewish part.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I see you go around and and take thirty percent
of the stocking stuffers.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I do you're going to light I have two menors.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You're not gonna light them?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, of course we have.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's the Jewish part. Yeah, it is a Jewish part.
And then Michelle gave me a minora. You know, they
have the eight candles. And she gave me a model
of a Tyrannosaurus Rex with the little candle holders along
the back of the Tyrannosaurus wreck. So we call it
(05:21):
our Minorasaurus rex and we put we put it up.
A matter of fact, we reput it up again. That
put up the minora Saurus rex. That was Michelle Cube
who gave me that.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I heard Trump got very excited when he heard about
lighting the minorities.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
And then someone had to say, mister president.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That's very strong. By the way, Neil, that's that's that's good. No,
that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Don't get offended. Cono. It didn't really go, but I
thought it went. Of course, anything about Trump.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I was going to use John Coebelt, and then I
thought Trump might you know I saw through it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It was my you're right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
All right, guys, we got some great news. By the way,
I give Trump the credit when I think credit is due.
You know, for example, grabbing that oil tanker, I think
it was one percent appropriate. And the other six that
are out there, I think the US should grab those too,
And I'm sure that's going to be up for discussion
(06:22):
over the next few days. But first it's time for
Handle on the News with Amy neil Me lead story.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
We get out.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, so here's the Trump story not so good. Do
you remember when President Trump ran for office the first
time out, he said that the Republicans have a health plan.
Within weeks, we're going to have it. We'll have it
on the table. And then here we are, what fifteen
sixteen years later, no, twelve years later, and there is
(06:52):
no health plan. Of course, the Democrats have a health plan,
and that's simply the extension of the subsidies of Obamacare.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
That's their health plan.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
We have a health plan, good bad, It may not
be wonderful, but we want to extend those subsidies. The
Republicans are fighting at tooth and nail. That was the
issue of the shutdown, by the way, those subsidies that
the Republicans are fighting. So now the President says we
can work together on healthcare. Well, it can't work together
(07:21):
because the Republicans are dead set against those subsidies. The
Democrats are dead set in favor of extending those subsidies.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And the problem is is that.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Republicans talk about how horrible Obamacare is, how horrible, so
and they say we're going to come up with an alternative.
They never have. It's all lip service. They've never come
up with any kind of alternative. So we're going to
see that going on. And by the way, do you
remember the last time the President said Republicans and Democrats
(07:51):
can work together on anything?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
No, it sounded weird. Actually didn't thought it was ai.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Uh yeah, yeah. Oh, and healthcare premiums January December thirty first,
it's going to explode Americans, twenty million of them, twenty
five million of them. Well, we just can't afford healthcare.
They'll they'll be out of the out of the level
of being able to pay for healthcare, double triple, quadruple
(08:19):
in certain cases.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I think the bill was called suck it up and
get a job. They were trying to pass out.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Oh no, they have plenty. No, these are people who
have good jobs. The problem is, Yeah, the problem is
a healthcare I know you're smart ass, but I want
to point that out because there are plenty of people
that don't work.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Our insurance is broken.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It's completely broken. The system is completely broken. I'm not
arguing that. All I'm saying is that they're based on
the system we have today. Obamacare kicked in twenty something
million people that have insurance medical insurance, and it has
certain levels and does it'll make a lot of sense
to a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I believe in a single payer. That's it, you know
the HM. I go to Kaiser and just here's my
monthly copey and I'm done. But we'll never get there
because that's socialized, communist medicine except for people over sixty five.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
That's interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I would like to know all the legislators who are
over sixty five. How can they accept medicare and scream
about socialism for people that aren't covered by medical.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, insurance is socialism and it's.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yes, it is to some extent, but that's everybody. But
that's true, but that's everybody paying. You have a good point.
It spreads the risk what single payer spreads the risk
across the entire United States? Absolutely, that's absolutely true. Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I don't smoke, drink, vaccine, or chew or hang out
with women that do. The FDA now looking for very
serious warnings on COVID vaccines. So the US Food and
Drug Administration tends to put a black what they for
to his black box warning on COVID nineteen vaccines. Yeah,
(10:07):
this is the same stuff, by the way, that goes
on opioids.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I know there's no evidence for this. I mean there's
when you talk about Yeah, there's none. I mean, it's
just crazy. Anything has to do with vaccines is bad.
Anything has to do with vaccines is evil.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It should be illegal living.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But yeah, you you wait, by the time the Trump
administration ends, and I said this, Robert Kennedy is going
to do everything he can uh to kill vaccinations in
this country because they are evil, because they kill people,
because they are horrific. There's there's now a measles outbreak.
(10:50):
It's coming, it's here. There's now hundreds of people who
have measles. It was eradicated. It was eradicated.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I don't think there's a measles outbreak right now.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
There certainly is heard on the news several hundred people
now have U now have measles, and they say it's
they think it's coming out of one church. And of
course nobody was vaccinated. The kids weren't vaccinated. You can yeah,
I don't know if that's I think so, But it's
gotten worse. There are now several hundred cases. You can
(11:19):
look that up. By the way. The other thing that
the FAA doesn't want to do, Neil, is you to
take Amy stories.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Burn Burn.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Oh you're up again, Neil. You want to steal my namy.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
No.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I want you to know, we've.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Got to go back to We've got to go back
to mistake when the Mexican does it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I stole it. That's correct.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Okay, that is correct. And you had better. You had
better have parked my car in the right place. I'm
telling you, Okay, moving on.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I always do, sir, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
The Charlie Kirk accused shoot Tyler Robinson is popped up
in the Utah court room for the first time in person,
and this was yesterday. Attorneys argued, obviously how much access
the media can have in the criminal case. These things
obviously go nationwide and beyond. And that's always the question
(12:20):
on these things is how much access are we going.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
To get media wise?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
But he was very calm, hands were handcuffed in front
of him, a blue button up shirt, pink tie.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Okay, Now, why is that? I think about this for
a moment. Usually when someone in custody appears in court
in front of the judge. Only they have the prison
outfits on. They are shackled. And why do you think
he had a coat and tie on, or at least
a tie and a long sleeved shirt and you couldn't
see the handcuffs. They made absolutely sure the cameras didn't
(12:55):
see the handcuffs. I'll tell you exactly why as you go, really, Bill, Yes,
here is the reason this case has such enormous publicity,
such enormous adverse publicity to many many people. That the
fear is that first of all, the jury is going
to be tainted by him being in handcuffs and being
(13:16):
sewn shackled, and also limiting the amount of media in there.
Keep in mind that media is allowed in courtrooms. We
have open courtrooms in this country. That's the philosophy. We
have open court which is why anybody can get in
line to see any case under any circumstances, except when
you have exitgen circumstances, for example, adverse publicity like in
(13:40):
this case, and the reason for a change of venue,
that sort of thing. Thought I would throw that out
at you. I don't know if that helped, but well
there you are, well, thank.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You for that.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
This is when Neil actually gives me some kudos. Oh
you finally.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I know you're an incredibly smart man, and that's silly
and I respect the hell out of you.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Anybody said otherwise, I don't kiss your Yeah, I understaid. Okay, Amy,
you actually have a story to do, and Neil.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Wants to steal it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Of course. Yes, put up your hands.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is out and he's going to stay out.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
So a judge release ordered.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Him to be released from detention yesterday. He was released
last night. Then this morning the judge also issued a
temporary restraining order so immigration agents can't pick him up again.
Abrego Garcia is the guy from El Salvador who was
living in Maryland. Remember, he got caught up in that
(14:40):
immigration sweep and was deported to the Seacott Megaprison in
El Salvador, and then he was brought back to the
US and then he was arrested on human trafficking charges
and then he was released, and then he was detained
and now he's out again.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Yeah, back and forth, and the government says he is
an MS thirteen member.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
He denies that, and also.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
The the trafficking of human beings.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
He's denying that.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But man, he bound this was a ping pong ball
where he went back and forth and back and forth.
What really got the court pissed off because there was
a stop the detention and they went forward with it. Anyway, Oh,
bless you. How much of that sneeze did you catch?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I got a little on my lip.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay, Well, you don't want to do is look at
my microphone sock. I'll tell you that right now, or like.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
A microphone sponge.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well, you know, he doesn't get good publicity by the
fact that kill is actually.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
In his name. It's a little rough when you're trying
to be innocent.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Anyways, Trump trying to take away some of the sovereignty
of the states. He says he signed an executive order
and basically what he wants is to block states from
enforcing their own specific AI regulations. He says that he
wants to have one central source of approval coming out
(16:04):
of the Oval Office there yesterday.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, he's got a point.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I mean, if you have fifty states, each of one
having different regulations.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Richard Murrow talked about this, and.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Even the we have had with these companies, we have
that with all kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
That's true, but it's faster.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You bet you.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
AI is very different because everybody is going to use
and does use AI, every business, every individual. AI is
so all pervasive that I think you have to have
national laws.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh, I would agree.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I agree with the President of the I agree with
the president on this one.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh on, get him off the floor, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Plug him up or else.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
LA Counties filed an environmental lawsuit against oil and gas
well operators. The goal of the lawsuit is to get
them to address what lawyers call dangers to human health
and environment caused by unplugged, idle, and exhausted oil and
gas wells in the Inglewood oil field.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
UH.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
The pseudo ledges that the oil companies failed to properly
decommission and plug the old oil and gas wells, causing
toxic pollutants to leak leak into the air, the water,
and the land.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
UH.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
One of the companies has responded saying that lawsuit was
filed without justification and its allegations contradict years of scientific
work done by the state and county Well.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Yeah, and one of the attorneys for one of these
companies pointed out that the County of Public Health just
conducted a health assessment. An environmental justice study said, no,
no evidence of any pollution or any leakatrom the oil
these oil wells.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
So but then why are they? Why are they because.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Because environmentalists tend to be nuts, That's why. Because there
is a streak of uh nuttiosity going through the environmental
uh movement.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, but isn't oil natural?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
In that state? They're just digging in that.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, but it is natural. But what ends up happening
when you cap these wells? First of a lot of
natural gas comes out of these wells and the environment.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
That's part of the environment. So is botulism. So I think,
really exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Batulism is caused by uh in oil wells between natural things.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
That's no, everything, every every process is somehow natural. And
what they do invent uh new molecules. Hey, I think
science has the ability to do that. But yes, it's
all natural. They invented COVID they certainly no kidding, no kidding,
it's so civic cats. Uh, it's that Kentucky fried bat
(18:59):
that's right next to that in Okay.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
All right, so bass is looking for money. Don't touch
the homeless money. But she needs four hundred I mean
four point four million, rather to hire more LAPD.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
That's just a drop in the bucket for the homeless money.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah yeah, no, homeless money. It sings billions in the billions,
yeah yeah, no.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
But she needs this to hire another four hundred and
change cops officers because we are in a deficit when
it comes to law enforcement here.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yes, yeah, what's go ahead. No, she was already sett
in terms of numbers. She was set for two forty
and she wants to make it to four hundred.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah, so that was the original two hundred and forty
officers were authorized earlier in the year. But you know,
because public safety and all that stuff, So she's looking
for this four point four million. Otherwise, the hiring stops
in January. So by a gun, third.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Strike and you're out. Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia has declined to
indict Letitia James, New York's Attorney General.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Again.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
This is the third time grand jury has declined to indict.
They refused to charge James in connection with making false
claims on a mortgage application that the Trump administration has
been pushing for.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Well, technically speaking, it's twice. The grand jury has said no.
The first time there was an indictment, and that was
by Lindsay Halligan, who was the acting US Attorney in Virginia,
who had been put there by President Trump. After the
actual acting Attorney General turned down the case against Letitia
(20:51):
James because he said there isn't enough evidence here.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
He was tossed.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
So they brought in this gal, Lancey Halligan, who has
never prosecuted a case once in her life. She's never
prosecuted a traffic ticket, and she got an indictment. It
was close. And then that indictment was thrown out for
technical reasons and the judge rule that that indictment had
to fail. So now they try twice more to get
(21:16):
a grand jury to indict, and the grand jury says nope, nope.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
They could keep on.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Going every week until the grand jury is done. Grand juries.
I don't know if the eighteen months or a year
in Virginia, but you can do it as often. I
wonder if they're gonna do it a third time, a
fourth time, a fifth time.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Who the hell knows. If you can't beat them, join them.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Disney is in it to win it with a big
deal one billion dollars. As a matter of fact, between
Disney and Open Ai. They announced this yesterday and there's
you know, still more details that are going to come
out on this, but really what it is is they're
going to license certain characters, whether it's Marvel or Pixar,
(22:01):
Star Wars, all these ips in intellectual properties that they own.
That means costumes, props, vehicles, environs, all these things.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
To be used in AI.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
So instead of you know, battling every time somebody uses AI,
they're looking at this going, hey, we're going we want
to partner and find ways to do this that is
more controlling but allows people that use AI to create
vignettes or small little videos or things like that to
(22:37):
use some of the characters.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Assumes comes at a cost.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, oh yeah, well this first of all, it's only
open AI that company. Yeah, and and Disney is paying
a billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, so this that that puts them in the AI
game in a different way big time.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I'm looking forward to seeing the AI things that are
going to pop up in the parks then, like photos
and like you can make little videos at the park.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, yourself, You'll be able to create your own whole
New World.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, and it'll be small, Amy, cratch yourself a whole new world.
Get it? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Did you get it? Bill?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I did? Ok And then I added and it's small.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Yeah, but you say this because you get it. Did
you get it?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:25):
I got it?
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Okay, Grid, we should do that for the rest of
the show.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Did you get it?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Did you get it?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Oh? I didn't get it?
Speaker 5 (23:31):
I mean now, Okay, watch out for who's walking around.
LAPD's been doing a sting operation in Woodland Hills and
people are apparently not very happy about it. So they've
got people who appear to be playing clothes officers crossing
the street, and they're crossing outside of a marked crosswalk,
(23:53):
and the drivers who aren't stopping for them as is
required by law, are then getting pulled over by the
motorcycle cops who were kind of hidden away on a
side street.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Who stops for Well, let me put it this way.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You have a pedestrian, this is at a crosswalk, okay,
and the light is green, and the pedestrian has the
right of way. Getting a scenario which happens to me
all the time at a crosswalk. So the pedestrian is
walking across and after hitting the median part the middle
of the street. Then you pull to the right if
(24:29):
you're making a right turn while the person is in
the crosswalk at the far end.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Do you do that?
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I do that constantly. I do not wait until the
person hits the curb on the other end. Does anybody wait? No,
I don't think that's against it. That's against the law.
You could just for that one where they are though, right,
like you, Yeah, it's more I mean, it's more fun
when they're, you know, the curb closest to you. Can
you have a good chance of hitting them and having
them dodge the car.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, I get it. That's more entertaining. I've seen the
video though.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
It's funny that you've got this cup on a cup
sitting there and then these guys walking across the street
and the second someone passes, he's like what.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I mean, yeah, and away from I know, it's kind
of crazy. If there's something behind you. Pedestrians should not
have the right away. They should not mulm down.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
The five pound vehicle should okay? Uh.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Indiana GOP rejects Trump's map. You know this is there
is some pushback, at least we see it on occasion
when it comes to Trump and this is all that
jerrymanderin garbage. So a lot of pressure from President Trump,
and they kind of ignored that.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
They said no, they said no, get you get on
the wrong end of Trump. You're in a lot of
trouble if you are a Republican and he's made a real,
real plane he does all the time. If you was
a Republican voting against me, you're in a lot of trouble.
Although that threat, I think is getting less and less viable.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I kind of feel that way too.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I don't know why, but I feel like there has
been some pushback in.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'll tell you why, because some of the promises that
were made are not being kept. And the big, big
one where I think the President is losing a lot
of his ammunition and his oomph and his gravitas has
to do with the economy. It's right there, it's real
with our no no, but this one is a big one.
I mean, he won based on the Biden economy and inflation,
(26:36):
which was legit as far as running, and now he
is running.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
He is running the country.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Based on the fact that prices are down and you
are in great shape. For those of you that look
around and go, wow, things have gotten expensive as we
talk over the last couple of years or last year,
how prices have gotten expensive. That's a hoax. And let
me tell you that's wearing thin. That's why I think
(27:04):
that's where he's losing his political momentum.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Hard to call it a hoax when it's coming out
of our wallet.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Well, yeah, it's a hard I read that argument is thinning.
And the longer the president is away from the election,
the harder he is going to be able to blame
Biden for anything negative. So yeah, that's why I think
he is losing a lot of his momentum.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
USC may be playing in a shiny new stadium temporarily,
the Trojans may have to play some of their twenty
twenty eight home games at Sofi Stadium instead of their
normal venue because of the Olympics. So the Olympics only
and a couple of weeks before the season starts, and
(27:54):
for the Olympics at La Memorial Coliseum. They had to
spend like one hundred billion dollar dollars to revamp some things.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
One hundred million. One hundred million?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Oh did I say billion? You did well?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
You spent a lot of money Anyway, they spent like
one hundred million dollars to put a temporary track in
for the track and field events. They're going to have
to take all that out and they are worried that
they won't get it done in time.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
So how do you put in a temporary track and
spend one hundred million dollars doing it? Doesn't that seem insane?
Speaker 5 (28:28):
They had to install track eleven feet above the field
that stretches over the first few rows of the stadium
seating because it's not fine, it's not big enough.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All right, one hundred million dollars. The entire Colisseum cost
eighty cents to build, much less one hundred million dollars now,
all right, So anyway, SOFI stadium, which means that and
gets to see some gay as some Olympic games.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Well US game.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Oh no, is it going to be that section that
you work in or they get They probably won't have
that because that's a field level And yeah, I'm not
sure what's gonna happen with that. Yeah, I don't think So, okay,
let's do another couple of stories.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Neil, Neil, Sorry, there is a new.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Protection against ultra violet A and b raise low levels
of absorption through the skin into the body, and it
is being accepted by the FDA as a new ingredient
inside inside sunscreen.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, yeah, protect your skin melanoma no.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Melono muh uh okay, bem o tries and all.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I think we have a last story.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Amy Elon Musk needs money.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
SpaceX is looking to raise more than twenty five billion dollars.
They're going to do an IPO in twenty twenty six.
Good boost the rocket maker's valuation to over a trillion dollar.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Apparently, the move to go public.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Is largely driven by the rapid expansion of Starlink, you know,
the satellite internet business, and also plans for direct to
mobile service and progress on its Starship rocket program for
Moon and Mars missions.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, these are separate companies.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
We're talking about SpaceX as a separate company, which it is.
It's this is not Tesla, This is not what a
lot of people think is John. This is probably the
best rocket company in the world. It has it does
eighty percent of the world's launches eighty percent, and has
created Starlink, which is the best communications system out there.
(30:41):
Starlink puts everybody on the planet in touch with cell
phone service.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I mean, this is good stuff. I just talked.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I was talking on money a guy yesterday and he
sent me an article about how this is this is
solid SpaceX. Don't buy a Tesla.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You're weird about that. Tesla's. Tesla's are gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
No, No, Tesla's aren't. Tesla's are a little tinny. Tesla's
are They're just not that well built. I just don't
think they're that well built.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
My brother has a couple of them, and I will
tell you one of them is almost ten years old.
If it's no, they do last. And it's never been
in the shop. No, it doesn't go to electric motors
don't go in the shop. Well, it has been in
the shop. It gets new tires. It has to get
new tires. And well, they doesn't go to the shop.
They come to him.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Oh I okay, there, I feel better.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
He never it never goes to the shop.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Seat, it's never had any It looks brand new to
this day. Well, but you can take care of a car.
There are cars that were built in the forties that
look brand new.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You had a.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Car that was in the shop constantly, very high end,
very expensive, and I had the same make different model,
a lower model, and it was never in the shop
because you don't know how to take care of gadgets.
The more the more complex the car is, the less
(32:04):
you know how to use it.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I've had I've had Beamers now for twenty five years.
I've been driving BMW's and I still only know how
to use about five percent of the features.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
