Speaker 5 (02:53):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I'm sorry, I'm okay, I'm okay. Ready for the weekend?
And Amy, good morning, hello Bill?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And uh, there's the lovely Will Coleschreiber, Good morning, lovely bill, okay,
and last and maybe least and good morning. And look
at she okay, she's she's just shaking her head. Oh
you know what, before we get to the news, I
want to share something new in my life, not that
anybody cares about. But now I've got fifteen hours a
(03:22):
week to phil so I got to talk about something.
Is I've just started yoga. Can you imagine handle and yoga?
Do you know what I'll well, actually, that's there's.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
A cordllary here. There's a corollary here, and two things
happening with yoga. Yoga. I'm not yoga. There's two aspects
of yoga.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yoga is far more difficult than I anticipated it was.
And the amount of farting that goes on in a
yoga class.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Oh, I class is astounding, it really is.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And it's got to the point now I've only had
a couple of classes where my yoga mates actually have
placards in their hands, and every time I go they
hold up the placards nine point eight, nine point seven
and them doing pretty well.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I had no idea that was the case. And people
are basically immune to it. You stretched, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Know the same thing happens I'll tell you if you're
really impressed with that, the recovery room after colonoscopy is
a joy.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
And Amy, I'm sure you will back that up.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Because you have to pass gas as it were, and
it's CO two. It's it's a nitra I think is whatever.
I think it is CO two they pump up in
your intestine.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So the.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So the so the kalonoscope goes through and before and
you're in a recovery room and before you leave, you
have to effectively let them know that the CO two
left your body. And so there's a lot of that. Yeah,
there's a lot, I mean across the board. And I've
told you that story where they have twenty people all lined.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Up in these little bays, which just.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
They stop it, all right, I got it. Don't reduce
this to a cheap sound effect. Okay, this is serious
medical news. And so there is. So you have these bays,
maybe twenty people and they're all sitting there recovering from
the colonoscopy, and then you hear all of these sounds
and occasionally you really hear sound. Nurses are used to it, okay,
(05:40):
I mean when they listen to this all day long,
except when I was there a woman at the far end.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Sounded like an elephant in heat.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It was extraordinary, even to the point where the nurses
turned and went, wow, that was a pleasant afternoon. And
by the way, it doesn't smell you. You can't smell
it because there's nothing there. Okay, good morning, everybody. Let's
have some pardon.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Did you try to smell it?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, you listen with that amount of noise emanating from
that room, I don't think you have to try, but.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
It's just it doesn't It's just it's just gas.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
There's nothing there. There's nothing there at CO two that's
going through your body.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Okay, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Oh I remember that's the part I remember.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't remember it because there is
a lot that you forget when you wake up from
your rope a fall asleep. Like I I didn't remember
getting dressed either.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I also will tell you I want you to look
up during the break lippet to Maine. A French Neil
is laughing because he knows where I'm going. I want
you to look up lipet Maine. I don't know how
it's spelled, but it is a It was a French
vaudeville act that he was a performer, and you can
(07:00):
do it now, and I know it's l e and
then it's pe and then I don't know how to
spell pet two Maine.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Maybe t O U t O A E.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Okay, And would you describe what the petomin did as his.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
A French professional fartist.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
That's correct, a fartist.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And he could he could he he could fart, the
the Marcier. I mean he did sound effects, birds, tweeting,
musical numbers. I mean, extraordinary kind of control he had. Okay,
this is Friday, So why the hell not?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, a professional artist? But you didn't you know those existed?
Oh right, God, I would have. I would have loved it.
Oh and he wore a tuxedo with the butt cutout.
You've seen you've seen those in the gay community, you
know the chaps and all you see is the ass.
Well that was his but informal attire, you know, the tales.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Just god, I wish I had been there.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Okay, it's time for handle on the news lead story.
It's shut down, all right, we're starting a shutdown. They
didn't shut down last night or is it tonight? At
midnight Amy.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Tonight at midnight makers have left DC.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Okay, shutdown is absolutely going to occur, and coming up
at seven am, I'm going to do the story there
because there is a what should have been shut down
is not shut down, and what should not have been
shut down has been shut down, and I will jump
into that at seven am.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
I love the segue from professional fartist to politicians.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
All right, twenty years of regulations tossed out the door, apparently.
President Trump said the EPA is rescinding the legal finding
that has relied it has relied on for nearly two
decades to limit the heat trapping pollution that comes out
of vehicle tailpipes, oil refineries, and factories. The repeal of
(09:11):
that determination, known as the Endangerment Finding, will upend most
US policies that are targeting climate change.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And he has said over and over again climate change
is a scam.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
It is a hoax.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Matter of fact, it's the greatest scam in the history
of the United States.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Climate change does not exist.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And he has boy undercut, just basically decimated, cut the
EPA at the knees. The next president is going to
bring all of this back, no choice, because if it
continue continues on like this, what do we do, well
we have a new America? Is what we do where
protections are gone and business explodes because it as all
(10:00):
the benefits of taxes, regulations like this, and it's a
new America as for sure. The issue is is it
going to stay in New America? Okay, moving on all right?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
California launching civil rights probe into Altadena and the historically
black area that surrounds it there due to the fires
from not this January, but of course a year ago.
So they're looking into whether the what is referred to
as Black Altadena and the residents therein disproportionately experienced damage
(10:34):
from you know what took place because if you remember,
like across the street, which is from one area one
the non black area got calls saying to evacuate, where
across the street did not. And there's a lot of
weird things that went on.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah there are, Yeah, there are, And I think a
lot of it has to do with how the fire
was fought. Was it did the white areas get more
of a benefit of firefighting and equipment than did the
black areas? And I think you're going to hear as
a defense the firefighting authority saying that's simply the way
(11:15):
the fire went. This is a fire that was completely
out of control. We could not deal with it. Remember,
it was going one hundred miles an hour and there
was no chance. The firefighters had to evacuate. And they're
going to argue, look at the way the fire went.
This is not us.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
This is simply the way the fire went.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So we'll see what kind of defense and who buys
that defense as part of it.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
It's going to get kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
La is going to have to pay homeless people. Apparently,
a federal judges found the city of La violated the
constitutional rights of homeless people by seizing and destroying their
personal property when they were cleaning up homeless camps. The
ruling ends a seven year old case against the city,
and there was no trial because the decision hinged on
(12:03):
the judges finding that the city had altered records of
the cleanups and basically said, we can't have a.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Trial because these records are all messed up.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
The ruling did not specify what the city has to
do to comply with the law found against them.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, city just straight out according to the According to
the judge's decision simply lied and modified and was ordered
to clean it up. And so they came back and changed.
Oh this is what we threw out. This was garbage.
And it turned out that the accusation none of it.
What was this this particular stat that an examiner, a
(12:41):
neutral forensic analysis that the judge ordered, showed that records
of ninety percent of one hundred and forty four cleanups
were either modified or fabricated.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
We're talking about the records.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And then the issue becomes they pick up trash what
they considered trash, and therefore they toss it and people
have X number of days to claim it. But the
point is, as they're making is they don't have a
X number of days.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
They just toss it.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And the folks who have the what is considered trash
by the authorities, what they have that picked up during
cleaning or saying wait a minute, we didn't have a
chance to fight that, we didn't have a chance for
due process, We couldn't argue the case.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, because you know the stupid city with the files.
I get, but I will take any jury to stand
in front of this garbage and tell me what is
property versus garbage?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Oh yeah, I know that. Well that's exactly what the case. Yeah,
and we don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
We don't know, And it's never going to go there
because it didn't go that way because all the records
were fabricated by the city. And here the basic premise
is one man's garbage is another man's garbage.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Well, when it's on the street, if I put my
stuff on the street, they'd take it away. I'd give it.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, but you should have a chance to say, wait
a minute, now, if you're homeless. If you're homeless, you're
not on the street. You're not on the sidewalk with yourself.
A matter of fact, a lot of times you are.
But let's say what I consider, what I consider valuable,
what I consider valuable. You say garbage, and you've taken
it away. I don't have a chance to argue that
it's not garbage. So that is the point of all this.
(14:27):
And I don't know the answer.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yes I do. When I see garbage, I know it.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
And then that's their home.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
It's not their home, it's it's what surrounds their home.
It's their what they own, what they have.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I'm not following rules anymore exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh, here's the story.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Yeah, oh, okay, all right, this is uh, You've got
this federal judge just yesterday shut down the Defense Secretary
Pete haig Set's attempt to what amounts to punish Democratic
Senator Mark Kelly. We've heard this go back and forth,
and basically that this US District Judge Richard Leone, who
(15:14):
actually was appointed by former President George W. He wrote
this scathing twenty nine page ruling that heg Seth was
trampling over the First Amendment rights of Kelly and that
his moves are impermissible form of government retaliation. He says,
it trampled all over First Amendment freedom.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Of course, of course, that is what he quoted was
from a code of uniform justice. This is Mark Kelly
and the other five Democratic lawmakers, all who had served.
And he said, you can't follow or you shouldn't have
to follow an illegal order heg Seth.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Then the President says that sedition.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The President said that seditionnt punishable by death, which of
course it is not. And it is him simply saying
quoting the Justice Code, and it's and henk Seth is
pulling him back and is re reinstating him for the
purpose of demoting him and cutting his retirement straight out,
(16:18):
and the judge said, no, no, you're not going to
do this. By the way, the Defense Apartment is immediately
going to appeal. Let's go into an appeals court. And
then the issue is does the does the Defense Secretary
have the unbridled the unbridled ability to do this, And
(16:38):
the judge may say, I may disagree with it, but
the Defense Secretary can do whatever the hell he wants,
can fire anybody he wants, can bring someone back. And
then the argument is purely retaliatory. Well, the government was
gonna say, it's not retaliatory at all. It's sedition. It's
editioned against the United States. It is not by the way,
(16:59):
they don't know. And by the way, even if it
worse edition, which it's not, Trump is out of his mind.
Punishable by death, are you please? Yeah, come on, that's insanity.
But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I mean, this
is where we are. Anyway heg Seth is going. They're
going to peel it. And I think the appeals court
(17:19):
if they have any kind of you know, their heads
on straight and not screwing there and not having their
heads screwed around. I think they're going to agree because,
as you pointed out, Neil, it is purely retaliatory.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
There is no other reason. Any legal basis they argue
doesn't exist.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I think Pete Hegseth responded with, Oh yeah, bro, how
much can you bench?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah? Probably?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Anyways, Really it's you know that part is a little
bit well, it's the I'm not very happy about it, all.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Right, h keeping the sick from spreading. Some Winter Olympic
athletes are getting sick. It's the neuro virus. Oh, that's
a nasty one. That's you know, both ends kind of stuff.
Team USA says it is staying dialed in to try
to curb the spread of the common stomach bug, encouraging
(18:14):
frequent hand washing, also encouraging the whole delegation to stay
in close contact with the medical staff as soon as
anyone starts to show symptoms. It was apparently bad for
Team Finland. Cases of neurovirus postponed a women's ice hockey
game with Canada.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
You would think it would be STDs and I'm not
joking either.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
That's what it's been in the past. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Why because you've got these young people in their twenties
who are obviously phenomenally athletic. You know what hormones do
You get in your twenties and they're with people for
two weeks that they're never going to see again, and
the hormones just go rampant and so, which is why
one of the problems of the Olympics always is our charges.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I heard that they.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Just I would be curious what kind of superhuman they'd make. Though.
If you get two Olympic athletes stooping, well.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You get Elia the figure skater of the quad god.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Both of his parents were Olympic athletes.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Wow, how about Jim Nass stooping an Olympic gymnast. Boy,
you could do some amazing things. You talk about spinners? Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
No, go ahead and enjoy yourself. What else you know?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
No, I'm we have to move on. Okay.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Uh, you're gonna love this one.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Bill.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I'm just trying to segue. Yeah, this is a handless story.
So you've got the Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Junior. As we all know, he was on a
podcast recently and he was talking about, you know, stuff
that he's gone through. He was talking about germs. He said,
you know, I'm not scared of germs. I used to
(20:03):
do snort cocaine off toilet seats, so we learned that
about him.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, let me comment about that. I mean, obviously, you
know I have a history of cocaine. I have snorted
cocaine off many many surfaces. A toilet seat is not
one of them. Although there's nothing wrong with that, I mean,
keep that in mind. This is about it, Yeah, I mean, yeah,
come on, I mean, you know, there's obviously two sides
to this story. But at least it's at least it's warm.
(20:33):
At least the cocaine is warm.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I don't know that this is who's responsible.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
For our health?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yes, good Point was never responsible for anyone's health.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
No, I was not. Let me tell you. I did
a lot of cocaine in my day. I mean a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
But didn't Kennedy do heroin and stuff?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah? He did heroin for years and years and years.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Is that why his eyes are so close?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Who the hell knows, but it's uh.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Yeah, changed the makeup of his face.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, now here Now, cocaine changed the makeup of my
nose because I have I don't smell as as well
as I used to because the cilia in my nose,
which is very silly, is just it ate it away.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
As I told you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Cocaine. I mean, there's something about cocaine. There's some positives
about cocaine. One is extraordinary boogers, like on a level
that is almost incomprehensible. I actually remember some of the
boogers that I pulled out of my nose during my
cocaine days.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
There's so many news stories to go to.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, let's go ahead and do one more and then
we'll take a break.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Okay, he can stay.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
An immigration judge has dismissed the deportation case against an
Orange County landscaper. His rest was caught on video outside
an I hoop in Santa Ana last year. Video showed
he was forced down to the ground and punched during
the arrest. Narcisco Baronco is an illegal immigrant who's three
sons served in the US Marines.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, do you think that has effect?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And even though it isn't specifically in Minneapolis, do you
think that customers and Border Control and ICE is pulling
way back because of the backlash of stuff like this,
And these people are then released, they're picked up and
then they're released because the political backlash of detaining and
(22:39):
deporting someone who's three sons have served as US Marines.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, that makes sense, all right.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Some fresh intel here. South Korea's spy agency has been
telling lawmakers here that they believe the teenage daughter of
North Korean leader Kim Jong un is close to beat
designating the new head hauncher, the country's future leader, and
(23:07):
this would go into a fourth generation of the dynasty
of that family and big to do.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So the yeah unless she isn't unless Kim jong Lun
changes his mind, which.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
These four kills her or something or or has her killed?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, one or the others.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
So okay, So I got a teenage daughter who's going
to be uh the heir, but he Kim Jong Lunn
is really young still. No, he took over when he
was twenty eight and everybody thought he was going to
last three minutes because the generals were the ones that
were controlling once Kim John Ill died.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Okay, moving on, No buyer, no seller.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
But there was a sale using fake identities and purchase
agreements and forged loan applications for people apparently cooked up
by month long scheme to sell a house in Burbank
where neither the homeowner nor the buyer we're aware of
the one point five million dollar deal. The group did
include a licensed real estate broker. They filesified signatures, submitted
(24:15):
fraudulent loan applications, and even talked about using disguises to
pose as buyers and sellers so they could push the
deal through.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, this is pretty rare when this happens. But when
it happens, you wake up in the morning all of
a sudden, you don't.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Own your house.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Oops, damn yo.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yeah, so fine. It takes a long time to unramble that.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
And it's not even for that much money. A million dollars, No,
one point five million, what was it? Four or five
people in there and then you know, so you separate
all that, How long are you guys?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, well you get east get a quarter million dollars.
You know, you can buy a fair amount of cocaine
with that, you know, you know colorings, Yeah, a lot
of them.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
So more backlash. We haven't seen any like arrests or
anything substantial, but you do see some fallout. Kathy Rullemueller
Ruler Rumler, top lawyer at the investment bank that we
all know about Goldin Sacks, former White House counsel to
President Barack Obama, announced her resignation yesterday. Why because emails
(25:23):
between her and Jeffrey Epstein have come out and apparently
had a very close relationship. She described him as an
older brother, down played his sex crimes, even referred to
him in one case as uncle Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, so she's gone. She had to resign now. Of course,
no one on the administration team has been asked to resign,
no matter what. And again, there's no wrongdoing anybody's. Nobody's
been accused of wrongdoing except for Epstein and Julane Maxwell.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
And she's doing a bunch of years in prison, and
she was moved to a minimum security prison, which no
one understood why.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
But those are the only two. One's dead and one
wishes she were dead. Not true, She's she's done okay
at that prison.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Chalk another win for California's AG rob Bonta and AG's
and three other states. Federal judge in Illinois has blocked
the Trump administration's planned to clawback six hundred million dollars
in public health funds from California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota.
The judge said that the States had provided enough evidence
(26:34):
that the cuts were based on an arbitrary and capricious
or unconstitutional rationale, basically saying, they're politically motivated.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, it's going really far. I'm surprised. I mean, it's
obviously they're politically motivated. It's just the courts are coming
back on a lower level. We'll see what the Supreme
Court does. One more and then we're out of here.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
All rights. Barbie's not as hot as once thought. So
you've got here in El Segundo got Mattel and they
do Barbie as well as other products. They do Uno,
the game Unu, which did well this past year, and
Hot Wheels as well, did very well. But they kind
of overshot the desire for Barbie. Back in twenty twenty three,
(27:17):
of course, to the hit movie Barbie. They thought, you know,
they did more and more Barbies, more and more, and
they just aren't selling what they thought we were going
to and it's hurting me.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Even a diabetes Barbie that of course is in a
diabetic coma.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Autism Barbie.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
There's tumor Barbie that has tumors all over her body.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
They are trying to move Barbie.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
They have a tumor Barbie, But they do have an
autism Barbie.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah, but how about the quadruple amputee Barbie.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
No, but they do have an amputee Barbie.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Of course they do.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Who used to be a diabetes Barbie?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yes? Who has tumors?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'm sorry, It's easy, Joe, God wasn't sorry.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
You're hatiple.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
Once I go into my house it comes off.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh okay, I thought you took it into the shower

Neil Gorny, Hey, good morning.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
I'm sorry, I'm okay, I'm okay. Ready for the weekend?
And Amy, good morning, hello Bill?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And uh, there's the lovely Will Coleschreiber, Good morning, lovely bill, okay,
and last and maybe least and good morning. And look
at she okay, she's she's just shaking her head. Oh
you know what, before we get to the news, I
want to share something new in my life, not that
anybody cares about. But now I've got fifteen hours a
(03:22):
week to phil so I got to talk about something.
Is I've just started yoga. Can you imagine handle and yoga?
Do you know what I'll well, actually, that's there's.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
A cordllary here. There's a corollary here, and two things
happening with yoga. Yoga. I'm not yoga. There's two aspects
of yoga.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yoga is far more difficult than I anticipated it was.
And the amount of farting that goes on in a
yoga class.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Oh, I class is astounding, it really is.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And it's got to the point now I've only had
a couple of classes where my yoga mates actually have
placards in their hands, and every time I go they
hold up the placards nine point eight, nine point seven
and them doing pretty well.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I had no idea that was the case. And people
are basically immune to it. You stretched, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Know the same thing happens I'll tell you if you're
really impressed with that, the recovery room after colonoscopy is
a joy.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
And Amy, I'm sure you will back that up.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Because you have to pass gas as it were, and
it's CO two. It's it's a nitra I think is whatever.
I think it is CO two they pump up in
your intestine.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So the.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So the so the kalonoscope goes through and before and
you're in a recovery room and before you leave, you
have to effectively let them know that the CO two
left your body. And so there's a lot of that. Yeah,
there's a lot, I mean across the board. And I've
told you that story where they have twenty people all lined.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Up in these little bays, which just.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
They stop it, all right, I got it. Don't reduce
this to a cheap sound effect. Okay, this is serious
medical news. And so there is. So you have these bays,
maybe twenty people and they're all sitting there recovering from
the colonoscopy, and then you hear all of these sounds
and occasionally you really hear sound. Nurses are used to it, okay,
(05:40):
I mean when they listen to this all day long,
except when I was there a woman at the far end.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Sounded like an elephant in heat.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
It was extraordinary, even to the point where the nurses
turned and went, wow, that was a pleasant afternoon. And
by the way, it doesn't smell you. You can't smell
it because there's nothing there. Okay, good morning, everybody. Let's
have some pardon.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Did you try to smell it?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, you listen with that amount of noise emanating from
that room, I don't think you have to try, but.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
It's just it doesn't It's just it's just gas.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
There's nothing there. There's nothing there at CO two that's
going through your body.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Okay, I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Oh I remember that's the part I remember.
Speaker 6 (06:27):
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, I don't remember it because there is
a lot that you forget when you wake up from
your rope a fall asleep. Like I I didn't remember
getting dressed either.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I also will tell you I want you to look
up during the break lippet to Maine. A French Neil
is laughing because he knows where I'm going. I want
you to look up lipet Maine. I don't know how
it's spelled, but it is a It was a French
vaudeville act that he was a performer, and you can
(07:00):
do it now, and I know it's l e and
then it's pe and then I don't know how to
spell pet two Maine.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Maybe t O U t O A E.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Okay, And would you describe what the petomin did as his.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
A French professional fartist.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
That's correct, a fartist.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And he could he could he he could fart, the
the Marcier. I mean he did sound effects, birds, tweeting,
musical numbers. I mean, extraordinary kind of control he had. Okay,
this is Friday, So why the hell not?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, a professional artist? But you didn't you know those existed?
Oh right, God, I would have. I would have loved it.
Oh and he wore a tuxedo with the butt cutout.
You've seen you've seen those in the gay community, you
know the chaps and all you see is the ass.
Well that was his but informal attire, you know, the tales.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Just god, I wish I had been there.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Okay, it's time for handle on the news lead story.
It's shut down, all right, we're starting a shutdown. They
didn't shut down last night or is it tonight? At
midnight Amy.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Tonight at midnight makers have left DC.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Okay, shutdown is absolutely going to occur, and coming up
at seven am, I'm going to do the story there
because there is a what should have been shut down
is not shut down, and what should not have been
shut down has been shut down, and I will jump
into that at seven am.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
I love the segue from professional fartist to politicians.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
All right, twenty years of regulations tossed out the door, apparently.
President Trump said the EPA is rescinding the legal finding
that has relied it has relied on for nearly two
decades to limit the heat trapping pollution that comes out
of vehicle tailpipes, oil refineries, and factories. The repeal of
(09:11):
that determination, known as the Endangerment Finding, will upend most
US policies that are targeting climate change.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
And he has said over and over again climate change
is a scam.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
It is a hoax.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Matter of fact, it's the greatest scam in the history
of the United States.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Climate change does not exist.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And he has boy undercut, just basically decimated, cut the
EPA at the knees. The next president is going to
bring all of this back, no choice, because if it
continue continues on like this, what do we do, well
we have a new America? Is what we do where
protections are gone and business explodes because it as all
(10:00):
the benefits of taxes, regulations like this, and it's a
new America as for sure. The issue is is it
going to stay in New America? Okay, moving on all right?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
California launching civil rights probe into Altadena and the historically
black area that surrounds it there due to the fires
from not this January, but of course a year ago.
So they're looking into whether the what is referred to
as Black Altadena and the residents therein disproportionately experienced damage
(10:34):
from you know what took place because if you remember,
like across the street, which is from one area one
the non black area got calls saying to evacuate, where
across the street did not. And there's a lot of
weird things that went on.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah there are, Yeah, there are, And I think a
lot of it has to do with how the fire
was fought. Was it did the white areas get more
of a benefit of firefighting and equipment than did the
black areas? And I think you're going to hear as
a defense the firefighting authority saying that's simply the way
(11:15):
the fire went. This is a fire that was completely
out of control. We could not deal with it. Remember,
it was going one hundred miles an hour and there
was no chance. The firefighters had to evacuate. And they're
going to argue, look at the way the fire went.
This is not us.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
This is simply the way the fire went.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
So we'll see what kind of defense and who buys
that defense as part of it.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
It's going to get kind of interesting.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
La is going to have to pay homeless people. Apparently,
a federal judges found the city of La violated the
constitutional rights of homeless people by seizing and destroying their
personal property when they were cleaning up homeless camps. The
ruling ends a seven year old case against the city,
and there was no trial because the decision hinged on
(12:03):
the judges finding that the city had altered records of
the cleanups and basically said, we can't have a.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Trial because these records are all messed up.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
The ruling did not specify what the city has to
do to comply with the law found against them.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, city just straight out according to the According to
the judge's decision simply lied and modified and was ordered
to clean it up. And so they came back and changed.
Oh this is what we threw out. This was garbage.
And it turned out that the accusation none of it.
What was this this particular stat that an examiner, a
(12:41):
neutral forensic analysis that the judge ordered, showed that records
of ninety percent of one hundred and forty four cleanups
were either modified or fabricated.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
We're talking about the records.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And then the issue becomes they pick up trash what
they considered trash, and therefore they toss it and people
have X number of days to claim it. But the
point is, as they're making is they don't have a
X number of days.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
They just toss it.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And the folks who have the what is considered trash
by the authorities, what they have that picked up during
cleaning or saying wait a minute, we didn't have a
chance to fight that, we didn't have a chance for
due process, We couldn't argue the case.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Well, because you know the stupid city with the files.
I get, but I will take any jury to stand
in front of this garbage and tell me what is
property versus garbage?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Oh yeah, I know that. Well that's exactly what the case. Yeah,
and we don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
We don't know, And it's never going to go there
because it didn't go that way because all the records
were fabricated by the city. And here the basic premise
is one man's garbage is another man's garbage.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Well, when it's on the street, if I put my
stuff on the street, they'd take it away. I'd give it.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Yeah, but you should have a chance to say, wait
a minute, now, if you're homeless. If you're homeless, you're
not on the street. You're not on the sidewalk with yourself.
A matter of fact, a lot of times you are.
But let's say what I consider, what I consider valuable,
what I consider valuable. You say garbage, and you've taken
it away. I don't have a chance to argue that
it's not garbage. So that is the point of all this.
(14:27):
And I don't know the answer.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yes I do. When I see garbage, I know it.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
And then that's their home.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
It's not their home, it's it's what surrounds their home.
It's their what they own, what they have.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
I'm not following rules anymore exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Oh, here's the story.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Yeah, oh, okay, all right, this is uh, You've got
this federal judge just yesterday shut down the Defense Secretary
Pete haig Set's attempt to what amounts to punish Democratic
Senator Mark Kelly. We've heard this go back and forth,
and basically that this US District Judge Richard Leone, who
(15:14):
actually was appointed by former President George W. He wrote
this scathing twenty nine page ruling that heg Seth was
trampling over the First Amendment rights of Kelly and that
his moves are impermissible form of government retaliation. He says,
it trampled all over First Amendment freedom.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Of course, of course, that is what he quoted was
from a code of uniform justice. This is Mark Kelly
and the other five Democratic lawmakers, all who had served.
And he said, you can't follow or you shouldn't have
to follow an illegal order heg Seth.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Then the President says that sedition.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The President said that seditionnt punishable by death, which of
course it is not. And it is him simply saying
quoting the Justice Code, and it's and henk Seth is
pulling him back and is re reinstating him for the
purpose of demoting him and cutting his retirement straight out,
(16:18):
and the judge said, no, no, you're not going to
do this. By the way, the Defense Apartment is immediately
going to appeal. Let's go into an appeals court. And
then the issue is does the does the Defense Secretary
have the unbridled the unbridled ability to do this, And
(16:38):
the judge may say, I may disagree with it, but
the Defense Secretary can do whatever the hell he wants,
can fire anybody he wants, can bring someone back. And
then the argument is purely retaliatory. Well, the government was
gonna say, it's not retaliatory at all. It's sedition. It's
editioned against the United States. It is not by the way,
(16:59):
they don't know. And by the way, even if it
worse edition, which it's not, Trump is out of his mind.
Punishable by death, are you please? Yeah, come on, that's insanity.
But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I mean, this
is where we are. Anyway heg Seth is going. They're
going to peel it. And I think the appeals court
(17:19):
if they have any kind of you know, their heads
on straight and not screwing there and not having their
heads screwed around. I think they're going to agree because,
as you pointed out, Neil, it is purely retaliatory.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
There is no other reason. Any legal basis they argue
doesn't exist.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I think Pete Hegseth responded with, Oh yeah, bro, how
much can you bench?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah? Probably?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Anyways, Really it's you know that part is a little
bit well, it's the I'm not very happy about it, all.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Right, h keeping the sick from spreading. Some Winter Olympic
athletes are getting sick. It's the neuro virus. Oh, that's
a nasty one. That's you know, both ends kind of stuff.
Team USA says it is staying dialed in to try
to curb the spread of the common stomach bug, encouraging
(18:14):
frequent hand washing, also encouraging the whole delegation to stay
in close contact with the medical staff as soon as
anyone starts to show symptoms. It was apparently bad for
Team Finland. Cases of neurovirus postponed a women's ice hockey
game with Canada.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
You would think it would be STDs and I'm not
joking either.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
That's what it's been in the past. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Why because you've got these young people in their twenties
who are obviously phenomenally athletic. You know what hormones do
You get in your twenties and they're with people for
two weeks that they're never going to see again, and
the hormones just go rampant and so, which is why
one of the problems of the Olympics always is our charges.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
I heard that they.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Just I would be curious what kind of superhuman they'd make. Though.
If you get two Olympic athletes stooping, well.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
You get Elia the figure skater of the quad god.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Both of his parents were Olympic athletes.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Wow, how about Jim Nass stooping an Olympic gymnast. Boy,
you could do some amazing things. You talk about spinners? Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
No, go ahead and enjoy yourself. What else you know?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
No, I'm we have to move on. Okay.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Uh, you're gonna love this one.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Bill.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I'm just trying to segue. Yeah, this is a handless story.
So you've got the Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Junior. As we all know, he was on a
podcast recently and he was talking about, you know, stuff
that he's gone through. He was talking about germs. He said,
you know, I'm not scared of germs. I used to
(20:03):
do snort cocaine off toilet seats, so we learned that
about him.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah, let me comment about that. I mean, obviously, you
know I have a history of cocaine. I have snorted
cocaine off many many surfaces. A toilet seat is not
one of them. Although there's nothing wrong with that, I mean,
keep that in mind. This is about it, Yeah, I mean, yeah,
come on, I mean, you know, there's obviously two sides
to this story. But at least it's at least it's warm.
(20:33):
At least the cocaine is warm.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I don't know that this is who's responsible.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
For our health?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yes, good Point was never responsible for anyone's health.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
No, I was not. Let me tell you. I did
a lot of cocaine in my day. I mean a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
But didn't Kennedy do heroin and stuff?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah? He did heroin for years and years and years.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Is that why his eyes are so close?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Who the hell knows, but it's uh.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Yeah, changed the makeup of his face.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, now here Now, cocaine changed the makeup of my
nose because I have I don't smell as as well
as I used to because the cilia in my nose,
which is very silly, is just it ate it away.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
As I told you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Cocaine. I mean, there's something about cocaine. There's some positives
about cocaine. One is extraordinary boogers, like on a level
that is almost incomprehensible. I actually remember some of the
boogers that I pulled out of my nose during my
cocaine days.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
There's so many news stories to go to.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Okay, let's go ahead and do one more and then
we'll take a break.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Okay, he can stay.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
An immigration judge has dismissed the deportation case against an
Orange County landscaper. His rest was caught on video outside
an I hoop in Santa Ana last year. Video showed
he was forced down to the ground and punched during
the arrest. Narcisco Baronco is an illegal immigrant who's three
sons served in the US Marines.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, do you think that has effect?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And even though it isn't specifically in Minneapolis, do you
think that customers and Border Control and ICE is pulling
way back because of the backlash of stuff like this,
And these people are then released, they're picked up and
then they're released because the political backlash of detaining and
(22:39):
deporting someone who's three sons have served as US Marines.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Yeah, that makes sense, all right.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
Some fresh intel here. South Korea's spy agency has been
telling lawmakers here that they believe the teenage daughter of
North Korean leader Kim Jong un is close to beat
designating the new head hauncher, the country's future leader, and
(23:07):
this would go into a fourth generation of the dynasty
of that family and big to do.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So the yeah unless she isn't unless Kim jong Lun
changes his mind, which.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
These four kills her or something or or has her killed?
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yeah, one or the others.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
So okay, So I got a teenage daughter who's going
to be uh the heir, but he Kim Jong Lunn
is really young still. No, he took over when he
was twenty eight and everybody thought he was going to
last three minutes because the generals were the ones that
were controlling once Kim John Ill died.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Okay, moving on, No buyer, no seller.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
But there was a sale using fake identities and purchase
agreements and forged loan applications for people apparently cooked up
by month long scheme to sell a house in Burbank
where neither the homeowner nor the buyer we're aware of
the one point five million dollar deal. The group did
include a licensed real estate broker. They filesified signatures, submitted
(24:15):
fraudulent loan applications, and even talked about using disguises to
pose as buyers and sellers so they could push the
deal through.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, this is pretty rare when this happens. But when
it happens, you wake up in the morning all of
a sudden, you don't.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Own your house.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Oops, damn yo.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Yeah, so fine. It takes a long time to unramble that.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
And it's not even for that much money. A million dollars, No,
one point five million, what was it? Four or five
people in there and then you know, so you separate
all that, How long are you guys?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, well you get east get a quarter million dollars.
You know, you can buy a fair amount of cocaine
with that, you know, you know colorings, Yeah, a lot
of them.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
So more backlash. We haven't seen any like arrests or
anything substantial, but you do see some fallout. Kathy Rullemueller
Ruler Rumler, top lawyer at the investment bank that we
all know about Goldin Sacks, former White House counsel to
President Barack Obama, announced her resignation yesterday. Why because emails
(25:23):
between her and Jeffrey Epstein have come out and apparently
had a very close relationship. She described him as an
older brother, down played his sex crimes, even referred to
him in one case as uncle Jeffrey.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, so she's gone. She had to resign now. Of course,
no one on the administration team has been asked to resign,
no matter what. And again, there's no wrongdoing anybody's. Nobody's
been accused of wrongdoing except for Epstein and Julane Maxwell.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
And she's doing a bunch of years in prison, and
she was moved to a minimum security prison, which no
one understood why.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
But those are the only two. One's dead and one
wishes she were dead. Not true, She's she's done okay
at that prison.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Chalk another win for California's AG rob Bonta and AG's
and three other states. Federal judge in Illinois has blocked
the Trump administration's planned to clawback six hundred million dollars
in public health funds from California, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota.
The judge said that the States had provided enough evidence
(26:34):
that the cuts were based on an arbitrary and capricious
or unconstitutional rationale, basically saying, they're politically motivated.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, it's going really far. I'm surprised. I mean, it's
obviously they're politically motivated. It's just the courts are coming
back on a lower level. We'll see what the Supreme
Court does. One more and then we're out of here.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
All rights. Barbie's not as hot as once thought. So
you've got here in El Segundo got Mattel and they
do Barbie as well as other products. They do Uno,
the game Unu, which did well this past year, and
Hot Wheels as well, did very well. But they kind
of overshot the desire for Barbie. Back in twenty twenty three,
(27:17):
of course, to the hit movie Barbie. They thought, you know,
they did more and more Barbies, more and more, and
they just aren't selling what they thought we were going
to and it's hurting me.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Even a diabetes Barbie that of course is in a
diabetic coma.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Autism Barbie.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
There's tumor Barbie that has tumors all over her body.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
They are trying to move Barbie.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
They have a tumor Barbie, But they do have an
autism Barbie.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yeah, but how about the quadruple amputee Barbie.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
No, but they do have an amputee Barbie.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Of course they do.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
Who used to be a diabetes Barbie?
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Yes? Who has tumors?
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'm sorry, It's easy, Joe, God wasn't sorry.
Speaker 4 (28:01):
Matter of fact, let this.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Let's have a contest where our listeners email us which
kind of Barbie would you.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
