listening to Christy Nome when that horrible story about the
women and Nicole Hood being killed by that ice agent,
and obviously it's very controversial, and she talked. Gnome talked
(03:32):
about professional agitators who were there, and I'm thinking, what
is a professional agitator? Are you paid and by whom?
And a professional are you certified? Do you go to
cal State University and get an agitation degree?

Oh my god, it blew up. Was there no oil

Speaker 2 (04:25):
They I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:26):

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Yeah, that's no fun. You get,
you know, even you get the feeling it, the pity
your stomach when this thing. I wouldn't want to be
there just as the thing blew. And you knew, if
instantly that this was a major, major, major problem, did
you not.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I've never had to get off on the freeway and
then I've had my check ins on like turn on,
but this one started flashing and blinking, and then my
car started shaking, and then I was like, this is
this is not good?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's a shame. All right, Uh, what is
else going on?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Let me see?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh and the football games. I watched a bunch of footballs.
The winner the winners did win, and on the other side,
the losers didn't do as well. There's my analysis for
the football games I watched, and I was by myself.
It was really great. Lindsay went off and spent the
evening with a friend of hers and man, I couch potato,
(05:50):
Like you could not believe my couch potato. It was spectacular.
Sometimes I didn't even get up to pe. I mean
it was it was serious, relaxing, very strong, very very strong.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Thinking of, you know what, I'm sitting there, I'm thinking
of getting depends just to sort of sit.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
There and not have to get out by that, to
allow you to relax even more deeply.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yes, yes, all right, guys, here we go. We start,
and of course news like crazy over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
There's no such thing as.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
A weekend anymore that doesn't have massive news.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So let's do it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's time for handle on the news. Amy Neil is
back and me lead story. Law.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well, here's here's another one.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
As you know, Donald Trump has gone, uh, let's say,
he's gone pretty much against FED Chairman Jerome Powell because
Jerome Powell would not lower the interest rates as quickly
and as significantly as the Donald Trump wanted. So guess what,
(07:00):
just Apartment has just opened a criminal investigation against your
own Powell. And this had to do with the bank's
renovation of its headquarters. And why is that Well, he
lied to Congress about it. So interestingly enough, President Trump
originally nominated Paul Powell to service FED chair during his
(07:24):
first term in twenty seventeen, and then went south on
him because Powell wouldn't do exactly what Trump says. There
was no such thing as an independent agency in the
United States anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Those agencies that were had a record of being independent,
were set up to be at least quasi independent. The
FBI went in that direction, Department of Justice, the FED,
the CDC, all of that has disappeared now.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It is all part of the executive branch.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And if you don't like what Trump does, the tar
Department of Justice immediately start. It's a criminal investigation. It's fine,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I'm wondering.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
For the next administration, are they going to continue down
this path or things will go back to normal.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It depends depends if it's a if it's a Republican
who will be handpicked by President Trump. Believe me, he's
still going to control the Republican Party. If it is
a Republican, it will do exactly the same as it
is now. And I'm wondering is Trump going to call?
Is Trump going to hold the cards? Is he going
to be this Fengali? Is he going to be the
(08:38):
robes Pierre, which, by the way, is a brand name
for a really good robe that you get at the
high end, you know, the high end hotels. I didn't know,
you knew that he would be, but the power behind
the scenes that I believe, and if it's a Democrat,
we're going back to normal, but undoing what Trump has done,
(09:03):
for example, completely redoing the White House, completely remaking the
White House, and it will be you'll see signs in
front of the White House. It will be the Donald J.
Trump White House. I guarantee that he does. You're laughing,
you're laughing. Wait till that happens, Amy, Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well, they'll just take it down after he's done.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Let's make a deal or else. Apparently that is the
message from President Trump to Cuba. He posted on social
media there will be no more oil or money going
to Cuba. Zero, and then he went on to say,
I strongly suggest they make a deal before it's too late.
(09:49):
He said, no more Venezuelan oil is going to Cuba.
And Cuba relies heavily on Venezuelan oil.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, I wonder how many, how much, how many drugs
are going in the United States from Cuba, and I
don't know for certainly from Colombia and certainly from Venezuela
in the world of cocaine, but also certainly from Mexico.
And President Trump is as he said, we have Venezuela
(10:18):
nexus Colombia, then Mexico, then Cuba. And let's not forget
Deraan that he is considering military action. And I don't
know anybody who doesn't believe he is serious. So much
for America first, and we're not going to get in
foreign affairs, all right, guys. And by the way, I
agree with him in a couple of instances. I have
(10:40):
no problem with nailing Mexico and nailing Colombia and nailing Venezuela.
Drugs are coming in. And then the argument, will Americans
want drugs? Okay, so what Americans want drugs? In the meantime,
they're that dangerous, so many people died. We're going to
shut down not only the process but the importation.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know, a lot of people think that way.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It's just it's a different way of doing business clearly, Okay,
keep your.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Views to yourself and don't drive through crowds chaos.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
If you saw it.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
A driver allegedly plowed a U haul into a crowd
just yesterday during this anti Iranian regime rally.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
This was near the.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Federal Building or what I call the Blurry Building. You
see it off of the four or five and at
the right ankle. Because of the way it's built, it
looks blurry. Anyways, if you lived here any like the
time drive by, that's what's about. But eventually law enforcement
at the scene pulled demand from the U haul, appeared
to take him into custody. People were trying to hit
(11:40):
him with their fists, of course, and then I think
some flagpoles and for some reason, and I don't know
that i've heard anything about this amy if you have,
there was a guy on top of the U haul.
Did you see the video someone's riding on top of
the U haul.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Was he riding on there or did he climb on
there when they were trailing touch the driver and drag.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Him out of the But he was on top of there,
and it.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Had signs on the side of it as well.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It was it was part of a counter protest I
would imagine.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Was.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't think anybody has hurt that badly.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
No, there were two people who were had minor injuries,
but they didn't even go to the hospital or anything.
They were really lucky because there's about three thousand people there,
No kidding, Nothing peaceful about these protests. Unfortunately, human rights
groups are now saying that more than five hundred people
(12:37):
have been killed in Iran, the biggest demonstrations in the
country since two thy twenty two. President Trump has been
threatening to intervene if force is used on protesters, and
it appears that force is being used on protesters. They
can't verify the numbers because Iran's saying, hey, everything's peaceful,
(12:57):
and we are getting videos out of Iran because people
are using starlink. Isn't that amazing because they've cut off
the Internet out of Iran, but they're getting videos out
and showing that the protests are huge and they've spread
to all over the country.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, not only the Internet, landlines are being cut, any
kind of communication. I mean, these are incredible protests with
insane numbers, and they're using water canon there. I mean,
they're shooting people. As you said, five hundred people dead,
arresting people. Ten thousand people have been arrested. And now
(13:33):
you have the moo laws, the regime really attacking its
own people. And we'll see how far this goes depends
on the army. If the Revolutionary Guard turns the other way,
and it won't, You're going to see many, many people
end up being killed and or arrested. And it's going
(13:53):
to be tough for those people. We now have a
not only an autocratic regime which they have to live on,
but a brutal regime where if you say anything, uh,
and protests against the government, you're gonna get killed or arrested.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And it's it's very very way. Are you talking about Iran? Yeah, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Talking about Iran and the and President Trump is saying
that we're gonna, you know, talk about military intervention now America. First,
this has to do not that Iran is a threat
in the United States. Uh. This is simply to protect
those people that are being attacked by the regime. And
Iran says that if there is an attack, then military bases,
(14:38):
American and Israeli military bases will be attacked.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They're not gonna there's not gonna be boots on the ground.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Iran is not going to fight any other way other
than sending drones and missiles and suicide bombers. Uh, that
they're going to do. And Israel, God help them. Israel
has no compunction with this government to go in and
smash the health lot of anything it can in Iran.
Things are getting really dicey for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Over there.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
You think Trump's walking back and forth in the Oval
office going how can they get to just shoot protesters?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah, yeah, all right, So the Department of Homeland Security,
they are blocking lawmakers from visiting an immigration detention facility
there in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Now, this is a weird thing.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
So there is a law that allows this is a
federal law that allows members of Congress, gives them the
right to make unannounced visits to immigration and Customs enforcement
detention facilities, so that can happen. However, a January eighth
memo went out from Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome and
(15:51):
this is saying, what a loophole that the money is
coming from the one Big Beautiful Act Bill on these
detention facilities. So it's a different bucket than federal funds,
and therefore the policy doesn't apply to them, and now
they have to give seven days or more.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
No, it's a complete croc because this is a bill
from Congress and Gnome is just making this up.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay, it's all federal money.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, everything is dealing with ICE's federal money and those
detention centers. So if it comes from A instead of B,
therefore we have the right to stop members of Congress
and their overseeing abilities. I mean, this it's just so insane.
It's just well, why not, you know, it's just so insane.
It doesn't stop. It does not stop. And the only
(16:41):
thing I'm very, very upset about Christinaham because that cowboy
hat she wore at her first press conference after the
shooting was not quite big enough. I thought it should
be a lot bigger. I should have worn a ten
gallon stetson. Do you remember brands of the television show
If you ever watch TV coss with that ten gallon hat, I.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Wish you would. That's a big old hat. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Is Greenland up for grabs. Danish Prime minister says his
country is at a crossroads and is accused the US
of turning it's back on NATO. Her comments come ahead
of her visit. Actually, the foreign ministers of Denmark and
Greenland planning to meet with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I believe it's set for tomorrow. They're supposed to do
that Friday.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Trump said the US would take action on Greenland, whether
they like it or not.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, if they don't sell themselves to US, if Denmark
doesn't sell US Greenland, then the possibility of military intervention.
First of all, does anybody not believe about President Trump
when he says that. Second of all, I gotta tell you,
Greenland is going to put up a hell of a
fight because it has fifty seven thousand people comp that's
the entire population. And it's Denmark that provides the military defense.
(18:08):
Greenland doesn't have its own military. And and Amy guessed
correctly when when I asked how many Danish soldiers are
there for the defense of Greenland. One hundred to two
hundred Danish soldiers are there in defense of Greenland, Okay,
(18:29):
And so how much of a fight you think they're
going to be putting up between one hundred and two
hundred people soldiers against the US military.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Is it true that Trump says that we no longer
can call the pastry a Danish.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It has to be called the Freedoms or the Americans. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh, remember when we renamed French fries.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, freedom fries, Freedom fries, that's true. And now we're
back to French fries. Yeah, I remember that. And there
was a big move calling him surrender Fries and that
team very very close.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay, guys, all right.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
We all think about the heat and the fire and
the flames when it comes to firefighters, but we very
rarely think about their lungs. Of a Pastena firefighter who
battled the Eaton fire says a twelve week detox program
lowered several talksin levels in his blood. And the crazy
thing is they are measuring all the health risks of
(19:24):
the firefighters, and of course it's dangerous, but they're showing
that these wildfires last year showed these toxins in the
smoke changing their proteins, the actual proteins in the firefighters
blood with elevated levels of lead, you know, And well, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Think of all those old houses.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah it would be the old houses.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I still have lead, but you're not going to see
much lead in anything what passed when they stop using lead.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Certainly in the paint. They stopped using lead in the seventies,
so I mean good.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, And you're talking about layers so many as somebody
who has a hundred year old plus house. There's so
many layers that there's actual if you're painting over something,
it's different versus if it's burning and all the stuff
inside the house.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Is that like why you stagger around the house like Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah? And my skin is green? Yeah, yeah, every much.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
This one flew under the radar.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Ooh.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
The mobile Airborne Command Post is the plane the president
is supposed to fly around if there's a nuclear war.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Well, guess what.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
It landed at Lax on Thursday evening. Apparently Defense Secretary
Pete Hegseth and MAGA influencer Laura Lumer were on board.
The Boeing EPO Advanced Airborne Command Post is known as
the doomsday plane.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, now, let me throw something at you. This is
probably the most expensive airplane that exists in the Air
Force because this is the command center that should be
next to or near the president. So you have Pete
Hegseth and this is under the auspices of the Air Force.
Pete Hexass instead of flying like one of those gulf
Stream jets that the Air Force has, or even a
(21:13):
seven thirty seven business jet kind of jet. Decides to
take the Doomsday plane, which coses zillion dollars an hour,
because he is a jerk, and he puts guests on
it and it went. Of course, the internet exploded on this.
It's just him being insufferable. No other defense secretary would.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Ever do that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
It is made to be near the president in case
of an atomic attack.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You know what. He uses that as private plane. Why not?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You know, let's enjoy ourselves. And it costs what half
a million dollars an hour to run it? Just it
doesn't stop with this administration, It really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You're going to airb and be it.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah plane, Yeah, you can charter it to go overseas
as you can do.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, just I no know what do you do with
this stuff? So yeah, it freaked the hell out of everybody,
but it did.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But when you think about it, the Doom is a
plane flying three thousand miles away from Washington, d C.
That means that the government is pretty secure that there
is not a pending atomic.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Well there's more than one, there's not just one of them.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
There's one.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
There's one doom sa plan you sure absolutely?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Money would it be if he needed it?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Oh my god, that would be what's it?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Plane back here?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That the word I would use.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
How funny would it be? It would be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
It would be really funny if we really needed it,
right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
The controls, Yeah, well you never know because you have
Laura Lumer, who is on that airplane that can certainly
make decisions, presidential decisions.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Why not? I woulday moving af fly.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
I'd fly these planes all over the places to make
people nervous.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Hey, if you're gonna if you're gonna use counterfeit, do
it for a double double.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I'm in Glendale.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Police announced Friday that these two women suspected of using
counterfeit money went to about a dozen or so in
and out locations in Los Angeles and Orange, Orange County.
I think they were buying gift certificates, almost like laundering it,
you know, things like that. But they were seen in
this surveillance video. You have two of these gals, twenty
(23:30):
four and twenty six year old, both from Long Beach,
and I guess they popped around to a bunch of
these the arrest. Originally pair they targeted in and out location.
I know this one on Brand Boulevard there in Glendale,
I think October twenty fifth, and then they were caught.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Well In and Out is coming back fighting back with
you come in with a counterfeit bill, they give you
a counterfeit burger.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It'd be funny if they gave him a big mac.
There you go, you're gonna give it's gonna give us
fake bill. We're going to give you a fake burger.
All right.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
So how do you beat Celine Dion singing on the
Eiffel Tower?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Can it be done? They're going to try.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
When they opened the Winter Olympics in Milan, Cortina Andre
Baccelli will be among the headline performers I love him
at the opening ceremony. Mariah Carey has already been announced
and the opening ceremonies are happening February sixth at Milan's
Landmark Stand zero Soccer Stadium.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
That seems to be a new way of doing opening
and closing ceremonies, is doing it in different locations, and
it's kind of neat. The win in Paris was tremendous
along the Sane River. Andre Bucelli. I mean, that's going
to be really interesting because he's going to be on
stage navigating an obstacle course while he is singing.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Put a little action into the entertainment there. Moving on alrighty,
So we.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Need we need snow, we need some skiing, we need
all those things. In Mountain High, that ski resort that
we all know and love, reopened Saturday. They were closed
for two weeks because the storm that hit during New
Year's or Christmas Eve rather soap, knocked out power for
thousands of Edison customers and they were one of them.
(25:25):
And now they're back up and running. It's still it
hasn't been. It's been cold up in these areas, but
not Oh I was just in Big Bear. Not a
lot of snow. A lot of man made stuff on,
you know, some of the hills, but not a lot
of snow.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Mountain High is that near Big Bear?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's right Wood. It's a different area. Oh okay.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I was just wondering because there there seems to be
a lot of snow there.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
So well, there's a lot of snow there because of
snowmaking machines.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh okay, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Relying heavily on the snowmaking machines this year.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Ayeh, way, are the costs of snow cones really cheap
in those areas?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
They just you reuse it. You just put a cone
underneath them. They're like, yeah, there's put some juice in it.
You're fine, kid.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
People aren't the only ones who think California has gone
to the dogs. One hundred and eighty three dogs have
flown out of the state by Wings of Rescue. They
took them in the middle of the night out of
southern California because the shelters here are so overcrowded. They
needed to relieve some of that pressure, and so the
dogs were flown to trusted rescue partners in several states,
(26:36):
including in New York, Maine, Pennsylvania, and also the Greater
Chicago area.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, this is so cool.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I think a lot of these planes are flown by
owner pilots that they actually dedicate their planes to do that.
It's just really neat this program.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
And it's tragic too though, that the shelters are so overcrowded.
These dogs adoptable, they're healthy, they're happy, but they're running
out of time because our shelters are so overcrowded.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That's the heartbreaker.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, and you take a perfectly healthy dog and you
have to destroy it, and it's just horrible. Are they
destroy dogs? They put down dogs? They never kill dogs.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
It's just a.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Euphemism that they use to well, I guess we don't
want to deal with we're going to kill a dog.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah's when the cops neutralize a situation.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, that's right, you know. So is this just three
card monty?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Are they just moving them around to different shelters that are.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Ye keeping them from from because.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
They're more adoptable, they're in they're in shelters where they're
not going to be killed for the most part.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Maybe this.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Do they fly them to no kill shelters? I'll bet
you they do.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You'd imagine otherwise what's doating.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
In areas where it's not as as crowded?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Right, that's what I think.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Do they get out of this shelter and go where's
my sunshine?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
What's all the snow?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 5 (28:07):
The Rams they're going to be playing the Chicago Bears.
It's the Bears in an NFC Divisional Round game this Sunday,
Soldier Field in Chicago where Will just got back from.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, anybody saw the Chargers game yesterday?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Chargers? Yeah? Justin Herbert? Is that who it is? Who played?
Is he the quarterback? How dare you? Okay?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So it was Justin Herbert. He was basically he played
worse than a high school quarterback.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Wasn't his fault?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah? He just couldn't anyway. I just I'm not a
football in nut as you know, So what the hell
do I know? Here's an oh bit which is really
depressing because I'm a huge fan.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
One of the founding members of The Grateful Dead, Bob Weir,
has died. His family announced his death in a statement
on Saturday, saying he had succumbed to underlying lung issues
after he got a cancer diagnosis back in July. He
was seventy eight years old.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, which is way too young. In any case, they
had a following like Jimmy Buffett does with parrot heads.
You got to these are dead heads. What makes this
one differently? These fans are actually dead?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Were we done?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
I would hope, so I tell one more story if
you wish.

No, I think we're finished.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Okay, fair enough I had a great time this weekend
listening to Christy Nome when that horrible story about the
women and Nicole Hood being killed by that ice agent,
and obviously it's very controversial, and she talked. Gnome talked
(03:32):
about professional agitators who were there, and I'm thinking, what
is a professional agitator? Are you paid and by whom?
And a professional are you certified? Do you go to
cal State University and get an agitation degree?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
And maybe you do?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Asks the guy who is a professional agitator.
Speaker 3 (03:54):

Speaker 4 (04:14):
So it was more than three thousand and it was.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Sixteen thousand dollars in the repairs. The engine blew up.
Oh my god, it blew up. Was there no oil
in the engine or just no?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
They I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
I don't know anything about engines. They said it was
a compression and the there was a turbo line, there
was a crack in the engine, and then I don't
know you can't.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You can't just go to Toys r Us and get
another one.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
No, Neil, nope, Neil.

Yes, I don't know if I can work here much longer.
We'll see what the pay that I get here.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Yeah, that's no fun. You get,
you know, even you get the feeling it, the pity
your stomach when this thing. I wouldn't want to be
there just as the thing blew. And you knew, if
instantly that this was a major, major, major problem, did
you not.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I've never had to get off on the freeway and
then I've had my check ins on like turn on,
but this one started flashing and blinking, and then my
car started shaking, and then I was like, this is
this is not good?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's not good.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, it's a shame. All right, Uh, what is
else going on?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Let me see?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh and the football games. I watched a bunch of footballs.
The winner the winners did win, and on the other side,
the losers didn't do as well. There's my analysis for
the football games I watched, and I was by myself.
It was really great. Lindsay went off and spent the
evening with a friend of hers and man, I couch potato,
(05:50):
Like you could not believe my couch potato. It was spectacular.
Sometimes I didn't even get up to pe. I mean
it was it was serious, relaxing, very strong, very very strong.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Thinking of, you know what, I'm sitting there, I'm thinking
of getting depends just to sort of sit.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
There and not have to get out by that, to
allow you to relax even more deeply.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yes, yes, all right, guys, here we go. We start,
and of course news like crazy over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
There's no such thing as.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
A weekend anymore that doesn't have massive news.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So let's do it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's time for handle on the news. Amy Neil is
back and me lead story. Law.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well, here's here's another one.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
As you know, Donald Trump has gone, uh, let's say,
he's gone pretty much against FED Chairman Jerome Powell because
Jerome Powell would not lower the interest rates as quickly
and as significantly as the Donald Trump wanted. So guess what,
(07:00):
just Apartment has just opened a criminal investigation against your
own Powell. And this had to do with the bank's
renovation of its headquarters. And why is that Well, he
lied to Congress about it. So interestingly enough, President Trump
originally nominated Paul Powell to service FED chair during his
(07:24):
first term in twenty seventeen, and then went south on
him because Powell wouldn't do exactly what Trump says. There
was no such thing as an independent agency in the
United States anymore.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Those agencies that were had a record of being independent,
were set up to be at least quasi independent. The
FBI went in that direction, Department of Justice, the FED,
the CDC, all of that has disappeared now.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It is all part of the executive branch.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And if you don't like what Trump does, the tar
Department of Justice immediately start. It's a criminal investigation. It's fine,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I'm wondering.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
For the next administration, are they going to continue down
this path or things will go back to normal.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It depends depends if it's a if it's a Republican
who will be handpicked by President Trump. Believe me, he's
still going to control the Republican Party. If it is
a Republican, it will do exactly the same as it
is now. And I'm wondering is Trump going to call?
Is Trump going to hold the cards? Is he going
to be this Fengali? Is he going to be the
(08:38):
robes Pierre, which, by the way, is a brand name
for a really good robe that you get at the
high end, you know, the high end hotels. I didn't know,
you knew that he would be, but the power behind
the scenes that I believe, and if it's a Democrat,
we're going back to normal, but undoing what Trump has done,
(09:03):
for example, completely redoing the White House, completely remaking the
White House, and it will be you'll see signs in
front of the White House. It will be the Donald J.
Trump White House. I guarantee that he does. You're laughing,
you're laughing. Wait till that happens, Amy, Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well, they'll just take it down after he's done.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Let's make a deal or else. Apparently that is the
message from President Trump to Cuba. He posted on social
media there will be no more oil or money going
to Cuba. Zero, and then he went on to say,
I strongly suggest they make a deal before it's too late.
(09:49):
He said, no more Venezuelan oil is going to Cuba.
And Cuba relies heavily on Venezuelan oil.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, I wonder how many, how much, how many drugs
are going in the United States from Cuba, and I
don't know for certainly from Colombia and certainly from Venezuela
in the world of cocaine, but also certainly from Mexico.
And President Trump is as he said, we have Venezuela
(10:18):
nexus Colombia, then Mexico, then Cuba. And let's not forget
Deraan that he is considering military action. And I don't
know anybody who doesn't believe he is serious. So much
for America first, and we're not going to get in
foreign affairs, all right, guys. And by the way, I
agree with him in a couple of instances. I have
(10:40):
no problem with nailing Mexico and nailing Colombia and nailing Venezuela.
Drugs are coming in. And then the argument, will Americans
want drugs? Okay, so what Americans want drugs? In the meantime,
they're that dangerous, so many people died. We're going to
shut down not only the process but the importation.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know, a lot of people think that way.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It's just it's a different way of doing business clearly, Okay,
keep your.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Views to yourself and don't drive through crowds chaos.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
If you saw it.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
A driver allegedly plowed a U haul into a crowd
just yesterday during this anti Iranian regime rally.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
This was near the.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Federal Building or what I call the Blurry Building. You
see it off of the four or five and at
the right ankle. Because of the way it's built, it
looks blurry. Anyways, if you lived here any like the
time drive by, that's what's about. But eventually law enforcement
at the scene pulled demand from the U haul, appeared
to take him into custody. People were trying to hit
(11:40):
him with their fists, of course, and then I think
some flagpoles and for some reason, and I don't know
that i've heard anything about this amy if you have,
there was a guy on top of the U haul.
Did you see the video someone's riding on top of
the U haul.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Was he riding on there or did he climb on
there when they were trailing touch the driver and drag.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Him out of the But he was on top of there,
and it.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Had signs on the side of it as well.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
It was it was part of a counter protest I
would imagine.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Was.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I don't think anybody has hurt that badly.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
No, there were two people who were had minor injuries,
but they didn't even go to the hospital or anything.
They were really lucky because there's about three thousand people there,
No kidding, Nothing peaceful about these protests. Unfortunately, human rights
groups are now saying that more than five hundred people
(12:37):
have been killed in Iran, the biggest demonstrations in the
country since two thy twenty two. President Trump has been
threatening to intervene if force is used on protesters, and
it appears that force is being used on protesters. They
can't verify the numbers because Iran's saying, hey, everything's peaceful,
(12:57):
and we are getting videos out of Iran because people
are using starlink. Isn't that amazing because they've cut off
the Internet out of Iran, but they're getting videos out
and showing that the protests are huge and they've spread
to all over the country.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, not only the Internet, landlines are being cut, any
kind of communication. I mean, these are incredible protests with
insane numbers, and they're using water canon there. I mean,
they're shooting people. As you said, five hundred people dead,
arresting people. Ten thousand people have been arrested. And now
(13:33):
you have the moo laws, the regime really attacking its
own people. And we'll see how far this goes depends
on the army. If the Revolutionary Guard turns the other way,
and it won't, You're going to see many, many people
end up being killed and or arrested. And it's going
(13:53):
to be tough for those people. We now have a
not only an autocratic regime which they have to live on,
but a brutal regime where if you say anything, uh,
and protests against the government, you're gonna get killed or arrested.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
And it's it's very very way. Are you talking about Iran? Yeah, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Talking about Iran and the and President Trump is saying
that we're gonna, you know, talk about military intervention now America. First,
this has to do not that Iran is a threat
in the United States. Uh. This is simply to protect
those people that are being attacked by the regime. And
Iran says that if there is an attack, then military bases,
(14:38):
American and Israeli military bases will be attacked.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
They're not gonna there's not gonna be boots on the ground.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Iran is not going to fight any other way other
than sending drones and missiles and suicide bombers. Uh, that
they're going to do. And Israel, God help them. Israel
has no compunction with this government to go in and
smash the health lot of anything it can in Iran.
Things are getting really dicey for sure.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Over there.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
You think Trump's walking back and forth in the Oval
office going how can they get to just shoot protesters?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Yeah, yeah, all right, So the Department of Homeland Security,
they are blocking lawmakers from visiting an immigration detention facility
there in Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Now, this is a weird thing.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
So there is a law that allows this is a
federal law that allows members of Congress, gives them the
right to make unannounced visits to immigration and Customs enforcement
detention facilities, so that can happen. However, a January eighth
memo went out from Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome and
(15:51):
this is saying, what a loophole that the money is
coming from the one Big Beautiful Act Bill on these
detention facilities. So it's a different bucket than federal funds,
and therefore the policy doesn't apply to them, and now
they have to give seven days or more.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
No, it's a complete croc because this is a bill
from Congress and Gnome is just making this up.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Okay, it's all federal money.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, everything is dealing with ICE's federal money and those
detention centers. So if it comes from A instead of B,
therefore we have the right to stop members of Congress
and their overseeing abilities. I mean, this it's just so insane.
It's just well, why not, you know, it's just so insane.
It doesn't stop. It does not stop. And the only
(16:41):
thing I'm very, very upset about Christinaham because that cowboy
hat she wore at her first press conference after the
shooting was not quite big enough. I thought it should
be a lot bigger. I should have worn a ten
gallon stetson. Do you remember brands of the television show
If you ever watch TV coss with that ten gallon hat, I.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Wish you would. That's a big old hat. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Is Greenland up for grabs. Danish Prime minister says his
country is at a crossroads and is accused the US
of turning it's back on NATO. Her comments come ahead
of her visit. Actually, the foreign ministers of Denmark and
Greenland planning to meet with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I believe it's set for tomorrow. They're supposed to do
that Friday.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
Trump said the US would take action on Greenland, whether
they like it or not.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, if they don't sell themselves to US, if Denmark
doesn't sell US Greenland, then the possibility of military intervention.
First of all, does anybody not believe about President Trump
when he says that. Second of all, I gotta tell you,
Greenland is going to put up a hell of a
fight because it has fifty seven thousand people comp that's
the entire population. And it's Denmark that provides the military defense.
(18:08):
Greenland doesn't have its own military. And and Amy guessed
correctly when when I asked how many Danish soldiers are
there for the defense of Greenland. One hundred to two
hundred Danish soldiers are there in defense of Greenland, Okay,
(18:29):
And so how much of a fight you think they're
going to be putting up between one hundred and two
hundred people soldiers against the US military.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Is it true that Trump says that we no longer
can call the pastry a Danish.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It has to be called the Freedoms or the Americans. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh, remember when we renamed French fries.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Yeah, freedom fries, Freedom fries, that's true. And now we're
back to French fries. Yeah, I remember that. And there
was a big move calling him surrender Fries and that
team very very close.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay, guys, all right.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
We all think about the heat and the fire and
the flames when it comes to firefighters, but we very
rarely think about their lungs. Of a Pastena firefighter who
battled the Eaton fire says a twelve week detox program
lowered several talksin levels in his blood. And the crazy
thing is they are measuring all the health risks of
(19:24):
the firefighters, and of course it's dangerous, but they're showing
that these wildfires last year showed these toxins in the
smoke changing their proteins, the actual proteins in the firefighters
blood with elevated levels of lead, you know, And well, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
Think of all those old houses.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah it would be the old houses.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
I still have lead, but you're not going to see
much lead in anything what passed when they stop using lead.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Certainly in the paint. They stopped using lead in the seventies,
so I mean good.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah, And you're talking about layers so many as somebody
who has a hundred year old plus house. There's so
many layers that there's actual if you're painting over something,
it's different versus if it's burning and all the stuff
inside the house.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Is that like why you stagger around the house like Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah? And my skin is green? Yeah, yeah, every much.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
This one flew under the radar.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Ooh.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
The mobile Airborne Command Post is the plane the president
is supposed to fly around if there's a nuclear war.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Well, guess what.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
It landed at Lax on Thursday evening. Apparently Defense Secretary
Pete Hegseth and MAGA influencer Laura Lumer were on board.
The Boeing EPO Advanced Airborne Command Post is known as
the doomsday plane.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, now, let me throw something at you. This is
probably the most expensive airplane that exists in the Air
Force because this is the command center that should be
next to or near the president. So you have Pete
Hegseth and this is under the auspices of the Air Force.
Pete Hexass instead of flying like one of those gulf
Stream jets that the Air Force has, or even a
(21:13):
seven thirty seven business jet kind of jet. Decides to
take the Doomsday plane, which coses zillion dollars an hour,
because he is a jerk, and he puts guests on
it and it went. Of course, the internet exploded on this.
It's just him being insufferable. No other defense secretary would.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Ever do that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
It is made to be near the president in case
of an atomic attack.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You know what. He uses that as private plane. Why not?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You know, let's enjoy ourselves. And it costs what half
a million dollars an hour to run it? Just it
doesn't stop with this administration, It really doesn't.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You're going to airb and be it.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah plane, Yeah, you can charter it to go overseas
as you can do.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, just I no know what do you do with
this stuff? So yeah, it freaked the hell out of everybody,
but it did.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But when you think about it, the Doom is a
plane flying three thousand miles away from Washington, d C.
That means that the government is pretty secure that there
is not a pending atomic.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Well there's more than one, there's not just one of them.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
There's one.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
There's one doom sa plan you sure absolutely?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Money would it be if he needed it?
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Oh my god, that would be what's it?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Plane back here?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
That the word I would use.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
How funny would it be? It would be hilarious.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
It would be really funny if we really needed it,
right Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
The controls, Yeah, well you never know because you have
Laura Lumer, who is on that airplane that can certainly
make decisions, presidential decisions.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Why not? I woulday moving af fly.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
I'd fly these planes all over the places to make
people nervous.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Hey, if you're gonna if you're gonna use counterfeit, do
it for a double double.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I'm in Glendale.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Police announced Friday that these two women suspected of using
counterfeit money went to about a dozen or so in
and out locations in Los Angeles and Orange, Orange County.
I think they were buying gift certificates, almost like laundering it,
you know, things like that. But they were seen in
this surveillance video. You have two of these gals, twenty
(23:30):
four and twenty six year old, both from Long Beach,
and I guess they popped around to a bunch of
these the arrest. Originally pair they targeted in and out location.
I know this one on Brand Boulevard there in Glendale,
I think October twenty fifth, and then they were caught.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Well In and Out is coming back fighting back with
you come in with a counterfeit bill, they give you
a counterfeit burger.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
It'd be funny if they gave him a big mac.
There you go, you're gonna give it's gonna give us
fake bill. We're going to give you a fake burger.
All right.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
So how do you beat Celine Dion singing on the
Eiffel Tower?
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Can it be done? They're going to try.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
When they opened the Winter Olympics in Milan, Cortina Andre
Baccelli will be among the headline performers I love him
at the opening ceremony. Mariah Carey has already been announced
and the opening ceremonies are happening February sixth at Milan's
Landmark Stand zero Soccer Stadium.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
That seems to be a new way of doing opening
and closing ceremonies, is doing it in different locations, and
it's kind of neat. The win in Paris was tremendous
along the Sane River. Andre Bucelli. I mean, that's going
to be really interesting because he's going to be on
stage navigating an obstacle course while he is singing.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Put a little action into the entertainment there. Moving on alrighty,
So we.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Need we need snow, we need some skiing, we need
all those things. In Mountain High, that ski resort that
we all know and love, reopened Saturday. They were closed
for two weeks because the storm that hit during New
Year's or Christmas Eve rather soap, knocked out power for
thousands of Edison customers and they were one of them.
(25:25):
And now they're back up and running. It's still it
hasn't been. It's been cold up in these areas, but
not Oh I was just in Big Bear. Not a
lot of snow. A lot of man made stuff on,
you know, some of the hills, but not a lot
of snow.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Mountain High is that near Big Bear?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's right Wood. It's a different area. Oh okay.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I was just wondering because there there seems to be
a lot of snow there.
Speaker 7 (25:51):
So well, there's a lot of snow there because of
snowmaking machines.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh okay, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Relying heavily on the snowmaking machines this year.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Ayeh, way, are the costs of snow cones really cheap
in those areas?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
They just you reuse it. You just put a cone
underneath them. They're like, yeah, there's put some juice in it.
You're fine, kid.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
People aren't the only ones who think California has gone
to the dogs. One hundred and eighty three dogs have
flown out of the state by Wings of Rescue. They
took them in the middle of the night out of
southern California because the shelters here are so overcrowded. They
needed to relieve some of that pressure, and so the
dogs were flown to trusted rescue partners in several states,
(26:36):
including in New York, Maine, Pennsylvania, and also the Greater
Chicago area.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, this is so cool.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I think a lot of these planes are flown by
owner pilots that they actually dedicate their planes to do that.
It's just really neat this program.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
And it's tragic too though, that the shelters are so overcrowded.
These dogs adoptable, they're healthy, they're happy, but they're running
out of time because our shelters are so overcrowded.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That's the heartbreaker.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, and you take a perfectly healthy dog and you
have to destroy it, and it's just horrible. Are they
destroy dogs? They put down dogs? They never kill dogs.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
It's just a.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Euphemism that they use to well, I guess we don't
want to deal with we're going to kill a dog.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Yeah's when the cops neutralize a situation.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Yeah, that's right, you know. So is this just three
card monty?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Are they just moving them around to different shelters that are.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Ye keeping them from from because.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
They're more adoptable, they're in they're in shelters where they're
not going to be killed for the most part.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Maybe this.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Do they fly them to no kill shelters? I'll bet
you they do.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You'd imagine otherwise what's doating.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
In areas where it's not as as crowded?
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Right, that's what I think.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Do they get out of this shelter and go where's
my sunshine?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
What's all the snow?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 5 (28:07):
The Rams they're going to be playing the Chicago Bears.
It's the Bears in an NFC Divisional Round game this Sunday,
Soldier Field in Chicago where Will just got back from.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, anybody saw the Chargers game yesterday?
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Chargers? Yeah? Justin Herbert? Is that who it is? Who played?
Is he the quarterback? How dare you? Okay?
Speaker 3 (28:36):
So it was Justin Herbert. He was basically he played
worse than a high school quarterback.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Wasn't his fault?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah? He just couldn't anyway. I just I'm not a
football in nut as you know, So what the hell
do I know? Here's an oh bit which is really
depressing because I'm a huge fan.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:55):
One of the founding members of The Grateful Dead, Bob Weir,
has died. His family announced his death in a statement
on Saturday, saying he had succumbed to underlying lung issues
after he got a cancer diagnosis back in July. He
was seventy eight years old.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yeah, which is way too young. In any case, they
had a following like Jimmy Buffett does with parrot heads.
You got to these are dead heads. What makes this
one differently? These fans are actually dead?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Were we done?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
I would hope, so I tell one more story if
you wish.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
No, I think we're finished.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I think we're completely Yeah, We're completely done. KFI Am sixty.
