Good morning, everybody, handle here and the morning crew on

a World War two nutcase when it comes to the
history of World War Two, so I pay particular attention. Okay,
the crowd is here sorta kind of. We know that
(01:03):

bariatric surgery, and I'm sure he's gonna be gone for
the next week and we'll see if he comes back

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, yep, and you're off to wear Oregon again, visit
friends and family.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Nope, We're going to Spain and Paris. I've never been
to Spain. Pardon, I've never been to Spain.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Spain, it's very Spanish. They speak Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
There. You can eat the tapas.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm looking forward to tapas.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I love tapas.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Are good finger sandwiches, except they use real fingers, much
like Jeffrey Dahmer did. And you'll also they have ham
there that the Spanish ham, which is really serious. Every
corner has a ham store where they just serve ham.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's like starbugs here. Yeah, it's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
In Paris they've got the I can't remember what they're
called where they sell the bread and the cheese shops.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yes, yes, bagyettes, the bagyettes and cheese and crepes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
They have a lot of over there. Let's stay. Yeah,
something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But they and then in Spain they've got ham shops. Yes, okay,
we'll try those.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And you'll enjoy Paris because they hate Americans.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh they don't. They just hated you.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, they it's I swear.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That we were there last year and everybody everybody was fabulous.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, I first went to France.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Paris, oh a zillion years ago when I was in
my early thirties, and uh, France had a reputation for
hating Americans. Now, as I told you, I am a
World War two nutcase when it comes to.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Being just really really into World War Two.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And my girlfriend at the time when I went to
Paris was a French Canadian who spoke perfect French, of course,
with a French Canadian accent, and I.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
In reference to World War Two, because I wanted.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
To bring the history into my trip, I had her
teach me in French the phrase your mother was a
Nazi collaborator during World War Two, wasn't she? I did
that to waiters, and let me tell you it was.
I got a lot of grief. I got a lot
(03:40):
of grief for that.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And the other one was, oh, you were here on
the Champs de Lyse when the Germans march down here
you had a Nazi flag in your hand waving it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That was another one that I learned. Yeah, they hated me.
They hate Americans.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Shucking Well, actually they do have reputation. Well it's probably
not there anymore, but you know, people could walk in
and I do remember this without the Nazi reference where
I'd walk in and I would start speaking in English,
you know, slow English, and the French person would only
(04:17):
speak French to me, who spoke perfect English, by the way,
and would just do that for a yets.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You know what the trick is, Bill, is you try
to take a step in their direction, you say, and
you try, and then like, they laughed at me a
lot because my French is awful. But I tried, and
I found that they were very receptive once they went, oh,
at least you're giving it a shot.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'll tell you what didn't work is speaking English with
an attempt in a fresh French.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Accent man have the cheese.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Ye. That's pretty much. Yet that didn't go very well. Okay,
So Amy is here today in Monday. Will Coles Riber
is going to be with us.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Good morning, Bill, Good morning. I went t shirt. Does
that Disney Pride? It's Disney Pride a few years back.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Oh they still do that, by the way, in this
day of anti wokeness, is Disney still really pro lgb
l g B t Q.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, that hasn't calmed down in the sense of uh, okay,

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Am I a hipster? Damn? I?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But I am in my Doc Mark so I am

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And I also am a big fan of Doc Johnson,
which is a complete other fandom.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I'm a fan of Doc Holiday. Okay, excellent. Okay, that's it, guys,
enough for that. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We have plenty of news today, as you can imagine,
also eight thirty as candle anything, which is always fun.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Handle on the news with Amy and me. No Neil
lead story. Well, a sweep through MacArthur Park local and
feds have gone through multiple arrests and it's a continuing
crackdown on drug dealing and other criminal activity going to
(06:44):
MacArthur park and arresting people is like fishing in a barrel, right,
is that? Catching fish in a barrel? Because all you
have to do is walk in the door and you
get all These thirteen people were arrested influence of narcotic
other six people arrested for less stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So there we go.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Karen Bass said she was in support of the crackdown.
Good for her, and I don't think many people are
opposed to that.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Another night of booms and pops, and some people are
opposed to this. City officials in Long Beach and the
City of Industry warned residents late yesterday that they would
hear helicopters, controlled explosions, and simulated weapons fire sound familiar
The US militaries conducting training exercises in both of those cities.
(07:37):
The City of Long Beach said, to preserve operational safety,
were unable to provide further information regarding the nature of
the training, the location, or the timing. This came a
day after the cities of Irvine and Pasadena also had
military operations simulated.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And there do you ever remember these cities having military exercises
in them?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I mean, in the.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
City twenty years, I've never.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Never It's weird.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, the only place I've ever seen is Camp
Pendles in where they do amphibious landings because it's right
there on the Ocean's Camp Penalton, the Marine base.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Well, they're run a base, so they do training a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's yeah, you bet they do it.
It's kind of neat to go zipping down the five
Freeway and see what's going on with the helicopters and
the amphibious voats, etc.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But over your house, over your house, No, not so much.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
One, two three. This is going to take a while.
The vote continues in California. In the governor's race, Republican
Steve Hilton is still leading Democrat Javier Bessera by one
percentage point, so the lead's been closed down or narrowed
(08:50):
a bit. Tom Steyer is back six points. Sees it
just over twenty percent. So that's about sixty percent of
the votes tallied by yesterday afternoon. Now in the LA
mayors race, sixty six percent of the votes have been counted.
They're expecting to do another vote drop today. But we've
(09:12):
got Karen Bass obviously in first place. She's moving on
to the runoff and then Nythia Rahman and Spencer Pratt.
Then why the gap is narrowing. Pratt is still ahead,
but Nythia Ramen is gaining ground.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I am going to do a story about why it
takes so long to count ballots in California, and of
course the President's reaction to it, which is always fun. Also,
Tom Steyer, who is third, called one of the election
officials and said, find me eight thousand votes that I'm
willing to pay for them.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Political joke, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Trump's calling out California. The votes are being counted, and
President Trump went to social media saying that Democrats are
trying to steal the governors and mayor's elections. He says,
here we go with the very late and massive numbers
of mail in ballots. And then later yesterday the President said,
(10:15):
look what's happening in California. The Democrats, right before our
very eyes, are stealing the vote.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Now, I'm going to give Trump a little bit of
credit here because he is not talking about stole machines
being flipped, where votes for Republicans are being flipped illegally
to Democrats. This is only the mail in ballots, which
he views just right on point that mail in ballots
(10:45):
per se are fraudulent because Democrats, for the most part,
do more mail in ballots than Republicans, and he said
they're fraud You know, there are eight states that have
exactly the same program, exactly this same system of mail
in ballots, that is, everybody is registered automatically in the state,
gets ballots and then can vote by mail.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Eight states. How many does they say or fraud one
none of the other states.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And there are a couple of those states that are
Trump supporters Republicans, they will never be fraud because if
if Republican wins, there is no fraud. So I'm going
to do, of course, more about that all of it
at seven am. Talk about why it takes so long
in California to count the ballots, and I'll explain.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Donald Trump is all the rage and the zoo. In Bangladesh,
there's a fifteen hundred pound bull or actually it's a buffalo.
It's a rare albino buffalo with a shock of golden hair.
They've named him Donald Trump, and he's drawing crowds from
across Bangladesh. He became a sensation when a farmer noticed
(12:02):
that his blonde tuft of hair really kind of looked
a lot like Donald Trump's hair, and yeah, don't have
a picture, and it does.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, it looks like his hair. It does.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
So I'm gonna put it on a si Instagram.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Oh dude, it is so much. It is so fun.
And then they've put this particular.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
It's particularly a buffalo in a China shop so people
can see him.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Another political joke.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, but they were going to slaughter him and they
decided not to, and they put him in a zoo
and he's drawing huge crowds because everybody wants to see
the Donald.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I think he's albino, isn't he.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, he's a rare albino buffalo. But I think it's
the Donald Trump hair that's attracting people.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I agree completely. Yep. This is if Donald Trump were
a buffalo. This is what he would look like.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Finally funded, the Senate early this morning passed legislation to
fund immigration enforcement agencies after weeks of delays and backlash
about the one point seven seven six billion dollar settlement fund.
It threatened to derail the bill, but that has been
(13:11):
removed from the bill, and so senators voted fifty two
to forty seven for the seventy billion dollar legislation to
fund immigration and customs enforcement and border patrol for the
next three years.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Hey, do I have this wrong? By the way?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What that in fact, that program of the weaponization money
is still in there that the president has the ability
to do it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That he won on that one. Am I reading this wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's still in there. But then there was a different
vote on a different legislation, rights legislation after.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
That, but he got but he got blocking it, but
he got it. He got the vote.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, so it's clear if that'll ever happen because.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well, that's a political issue. But it's in there. The
fight he won. The fight where you had Republican senators
that were screaming against it. Only one Republican flipped, by
the way, they all lined up.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
If the president wants it. The president wants it now.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Can you imagine, and you're right, how many people are
actually going to get it?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Can you imagine if.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
One just one of those January sixth defendants, excuse me,
patriots who were upholding the constitution, if one of them
gets money, can you imagine the full political fallout? Yeah,
it's crazy, I mean, it's just gotten insane. Okay, moving on,
(14:41):
I can go nuts on this one.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
John Bolton's taken the deal. So former Trump advisor turned
Trump critic John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to
retaining national security information. He was charged by the Department
of Justice. Part of the deal, Bolton will be arraigned
again on June twenty sixth. He will point, at which
(15:06):
point the judge will have up to ninety days to
render a sentence. He could face up to five years
in jail. He has already agreed to pay more than
two million dollars in restitution.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I can't imagine he would get five years in prison
first defense now not a chance, but aguen to pay
two point twenty five million dollars in restitution.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
My goodness, that's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Money, which apparently it's about the amount that he earned
on his book, which is where the classified information showed
up allegedly. Time to Go Supersonic, a widely touted successor
to the Concord, which is capable of completing the London
(15:52):
to New York route in less than four hours, is
getting closer to its maiden flight. NASA's X fifteen quiet
supersonic research aircraft is currently undergoing final safety evaluations ahead
of its inaugural journey. It's expecting to go mock one
point five.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, not as fast as the Concord.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
But I think how fast did the Concord go mock to?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I want to win to mock.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Twoh, which is thirteen hundred and fifty four miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, and this is not even well, this is quite
below that. But this has to do with instead of
a sonic boom, sort of a sonic not not much
of a boom. And that's the big That's why the
Concord could never fly over land. It could only go
over the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Does it just go boom boom, boom, boom boom the
whole way?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think it goes boom boom boom boom. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It depends on where you are. Yeah it you know what.
I don't know the answer to that, and I should
and I did talk to I've got to talk to Yeah,
Rod pile on that we can to do one more
and take a break.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Something fishy about this angered that a fellow cop used
the officer's microwave to heat up fish A detective allegedly
pulled his gun and pointed it at the other officer.
He was at police headquarters in Myrtle Beach Saturday when
he got into a dispute with another patrolman. He confronted
(17:28):
the patrol mon about warming up his fish in the
microwave because it caused an odor in the office.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, I can understand that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Have you ever smelled microwaveable fish or microwave fish? It's disgusting,
and so, yeah, he was arrested. I think he's got
a complete defense here. I don't think any jury would
convict him because.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Every year stinky fish.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, every jurors smelled fish in a microwave, all right, Well.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
From stinky fish to something squirming in the Spaghettios in
Floridas sued Campbell's and Walmart, saying she found moving parasites
in a can of spaghettios. Mary Hubbard says she bought
the spaghettios in June of twenty twenty four at a
Walmart supercenter in Oki Chobe, Florida. She says she opened
(18:16):
up the can, served it to herself and her child,
and then after eating part of it, she said she
noticed what appeared to be worms and or parasites moving
in the food. She says she took video of it,
and then she also says that due to that contamination,
she had severe health effects, suffered serious permanent injuries, including
(18:39):
a parasitic infection, gastro enteritis, and more.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Okay, couple things I want to point out there's some
legal issues here.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Stop that, Michelle.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
If you've ever eaten spaghettio's, you know that parasitic worms
can only help the spaghettios.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
They are bad, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Okay, yeah, they're pretty bad. The other thing are the damages.
This is always comes up. You have a rear ender, right,
you have a rear in accident, you've been hit at
three miles per hour. Permanent injuries, emotional distress, hysterical, never
be able to sleep again. In her case, I would
love to know what permanent injuries are. I have no idea.
(19:21):
And it's if she never ever hears the word spaghetti again,
she will get hysterical. Well that's or o's this. You
can't say o's around her because it's going to put
her in a PTSD. Land And now they're asking seventy
five thousand dollars in damages from Campbell's and Walmart. They're
(19:42):
also blaming Walmart because Walmart didn't know, or Walmart should
have known, because Walmart should have opened every single can
of spaghetti O's to find out if there are parasitic
worms inside.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So okay, let's go after Walmart.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Two and she bought the can in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It said, righty, well, yeah, you could make the same
wild though.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, but seventy five thousand dollars in damage when you
talk about permanent damage. No, if it's true, you're going
for a hell of a lot more than seventy five
thousand dollars in damages. So okay, parasitic worms good for you,
better tasting than any canna spaghettios would ever be.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Not exactly right. Orange County health officials are walking back
a claimed that no vapor or fumes were released during
that chemical tank crisis at the Aerospace Company and Garden
Grove two weeks ago. State officials maintained that any leak
did not pose major health risks to the public. So
officials with the Orange County Fire Authority said that there
(20:46):
was off gassing with some fumes and a vapor release
from the tank. Remember this all happened right before Memorial
Day and during Memorial Day. But then the county health officials,
doctor Regina chinci O Kwon said daring a meeting media
briefing on Memorial Day, that there was no contamination and
no fumes.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
All right, so there was so guests, I'm guess seeing
that there was, and they said there wasn't. What a shocker, right,
what a shocker? Now the good news it doesn't look
like there were. Well, no, they're going to be permanent injuries.
I guarantee you because of the vapor you smell it,
you're permanently injured.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Of course, there's gonna be a lawsuit or several.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Here the evacuated fifty thousand people, and there actually are
some damages here. You have to get out of dodge
and you have to go someplace. You can't cook at home, hotels,
and there's a serious there's damage. Oh we heard yesterday.
I was in the car with Lindsay and what came up?
The cards for a kids jingle? Wait a minute, yeah, yeah,
(21:54):
what the longest running cars for kids jingle? With those
kids who are now out there and you can find
you know, I don't know how they are drug ethics hookers.
I don't know what they're doing now. By the way,
that is a joke. I want to point that out.
It's parody, just in case someone's going.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
To sue us.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But moving on, I thought they weren't going I thought
they couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well, they might not be able to, but they can
for now. An appeals court ruled that Cars for Kids
ads can be played on the air in California while
the appeals process plays out, so it's still making its
way through the court system. Last month, Orange County Superior
Court Judge Gassia app Carrion ruled that the ad violates
(22:41):
the state's false advertising law and ordered the nonprofit to
stop airing the ads in their current form.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Why because it turned out that the money was fundeled,
for the most part to Orthodox Jewish programs in New York,
New Jersey and the Middle East.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So there you go, going up.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But it's your own fault. Governor Newsom's defending the California
gas tax as the national average fuel cost in the
US continues to remain above four dollars a gallon. Wouldn't
be nice if it was four dollars a gallon. Here
New York posts claimed that California had hiked its gas
taxes again, which it does. Yeah, but the press office
(23:30):
said the story's false because the gas tax increases automatically
to adjust for inflation. And the Press office says that
that decision was voted on by California voters before Newsom
took office, and I was back in twenty eighteen, so apparently.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
That and that's before gas was nine dollars a gallon
like it is today. You look at the taxes that
are in every gallon of gas here in California, sixty
cents per gallon, sales tax of ten cents a gallon,
except if you're in La Orange County, it's not ten cents.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's more than that.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Also, a federal tax of eighteen cents that goes across
all fifty states. So we're at a minimum of eighty
eight cents per gallon in taxes for.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
The gasoline that we buy. Isn't that special? Yep? Okay,
let's go ahead. That's taxes.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And the only reason taxes go up every year is
because we did. We voted in a cost of living,
because God forbid, we want our taxes ever to go
down and inflation. If you don't don't factor in inflation,
then the tax does drop simply by a way of inflation.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Haven for road ragers, Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando
Valley has been named the country's most passive aggressive road.
A trucking company did a survey of thousands of motorists
in May of twenty twenty six to identify roads and
routes most likely to cause passive aggressive driving, including tailgating, blocking, merges,
(25:20):
breake checking, and excessive honking. And Ventura Boulevard, known for
its endless drivers pulling in and out of local businesses
in valets, causing heavy traffic backups, scored number one.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You bet well.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
First of all, I grew up in the San Frano Valley,
so I can't tell you how many hours I have
spent on Ventura Boulevard, and there are it seems like
every restaurant, every shop in the San Frano Valley, which
has a couple million people in it, is on Ventura Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And I've experienced this.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I used to go to Indian restaurants constantly, and the
drivers where the turbanes slipped down over their eyes or
just there was a disaster. And we go to a
Mexican restaurant and even when the police walk in. You
see the employees bailing out of windows, even I mean
there is I can see that and I've experienced it.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
It is. It's a drag. It's not a drag strip,
but it's a drag.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Facial recognition well did its job, and that's led to
a lawsuit. Amazon has been sued by a guy in
Virginia who alleges privacy violations when ring doorbell cameras at
his friends and relatives' homes gathered and stored images of
his face utilizing facial recognition software. Charles Siegwald is pushing
for class action status. He sued Amazon in federal court Monday,
(26:50):
claiming that a feature known as familiar Faces preserves images
of anyone who passes by without their consent. He's suing
for five million dollars in damages.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
A couple of things about that, legally, anyone who passes
by on the sidewalk or on the street, even in
a car, it is that's no apps expectation, There is
no privacy, so that's not going to fly. And the
other thing, on a practical measure, how many bad guys
have been picked up by facial recognition or by recognition
(27:23):
in general. Does all that stop and we go back
to we're not going to be able to use facial
recognition software when it helps so much with law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I'll tell you who's fighting this a lot. Who are
joining this.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Class every porch pilot pirate in the United States.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Hey, if I steal your stuff, I don't want any
record of it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
That's a whole yep, all right.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Not waiting for the open for business sign. Three mule
dear have become the first animals to walk over California's
first wildlife crossing. And it's not our crossing over the
one oh one. It's in Siskyou County and it is
similarly near completion. But three mule deer were captured on
camera crossing the bridge over a very deadly stretch of
(28:14):
State Route ninety seven where more than fifty deer and
sixteen elk have been hit and killed by vehicles between
twenty fifteen and twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And the big one is in a Gouray Hills, Yep.
It's going to be the largest crossing in the world.
It goes over the one oh one freeway, where mountain lions,
for example, will be able to transverse the freeway because unfortunately, too.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Many of them are hit.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
And once this happens, what you will see is pieces
of mule, deer and elk along that overpass.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Okay, moving on, clamoring to kill the lizards.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Animal lover.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Residents of Georgia may not expect to find a four
foot long reptile native to South America in their backyard,
but wildlife officials are warning residents to be on the
lookout for an invasive species that is threatening named native wildlife,
spreads disease and disrupts habitats across the region. He looks
like a nice region a lizard, but he's four feet long.
(29:20):
It's an Argentine black and white tea gou can be
more than ten pounds and apparently is eating a lot
of It eats everything.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, and that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
So chicken fruits eggs all of its eggs.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
So you have these invasive species of both animals and
plants that come in and cause unbelievable damage. And so
they're saying, go ahead and.

Kill them, just kill them. God, why not. They're going
to have a let's kill a lizard day in Georgia.

Guarantee you, well, they do it with those snakes in Florida,
they have the Great Snake Round up because a.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Those are invasive, and the Great Lakes have those clams,
those barnacles that are in the bottom of ships and
they eat everything also, so yeah, these people bring these
invasive species and they just take over.
Speaker 3 (30:20):

Nope, We're going to Spain and Paris. I've never been

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Spain, it's very Spanish. They speak Spanish.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
There. You can eat the tapas.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I'm looking forward to tapas.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I love tapas.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Are good finger sandwiches, except they use real fingers, much
like Jeffrey Dahmer did. And you'll also they have ham
there that the Spanish ham, which is really serious. Every
corner has a ham store where they just serve ham.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's like starbugs here. Yeah, it's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
In Paris they've got the I can't remember what they're
called where they sell the bread and the cheese shops.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yes, yes, bagyettes, the bagyettes and cheese and crepes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
They have a lot of over there. Let's stay. Yeah,
something like that.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But they and then in Spain they've got ham shops. Yes, okay,
we'll try those.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And you'll enjoy Paris because they hate Americans.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh they don't. They just hated you.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, they it's I swear.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That we were there last year and everybody everybody was fabulous.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, I first went to France.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Paris, oh a zillion years ago when I was in
my early thirties, and uh, France had a reputation for
hating Americans. Now, as I told you, I am a
World War two nutcase when it comes to.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Being just really really into World War Two.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And my girlfriend at the time when I went to
Paris was a French Canadian who spoke perfect French, of course,
with a French Canadian accent, and I.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
In reference to World War Two, because I wanted.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
To bring the history into my trip, I had her
teach me in French the phrase your mother was a
Nazi collaborator during World War Two, wasn't she? I did
that to waiters, and let me tell you it was.
I got a lot of grief. I got a lot
(03:40):
of grief for that.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And the other one was, oh, you were here on
the Champs de Lyse when the Germans march down here
you had a Nazi flag in your hand waving it.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
That was another one that I learned. Yeah, they hated me.
They hate Americans.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Shucking Well, actually they do have reputation. Well it's probably
not there anymore, but you know, people could walk in
and I do remember this without the Nazi reference where
I'd walk in and I would start speaking in English,
you know, slow English, and the French person would only
(04:17):
speak French to me, who spoke perfect English, by the way,
and would just do that for a yets.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You know what the trick is, Bill, is you try
to take a step in their direction, you say, and
you try, and then like, they laughed at me a
lot because my French is awful. But I tried, and
I found that they were very receptive once they went, oh,
at least you're giving it a shot.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'll tell you what didn't work is speaking English with
an attempt in a fresh French.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Accent man have the cheese.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Ye. That's pretty much. Yet that didn't go very well. Okay,
So Amy is here today in Monday. Will Coles Riber
is going to be with us.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Good morning, Bill, Good morning. I went t shirt. Does
that Disney Pride? It's Disney Pride a few years back.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Oh they still do that, by the way, in this
day of anti wokeness, is Disney still really pro lgb
l g B t Q.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I think so?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, that hasn't calmed down in the sense of uh, okay,
good good for them, good for them? Uh and Uh, Cono,
I said good bye, hello you. I had no idea
if I did. Okay, hello Cono? Yeah yeah great, I

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I actually recognized Peter Frampton on a T shirt that
goes say, hey, am I cool?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Or what every Friday I wear from?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Am I a hipster? Damn? I?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But I am in my Doc Mark so I am
so cool I can't even begin to tell you.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And I also am a big fan of Doc Johnson,
which is a complete other fandom.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I'm a fan of Doc Holiday. Okay, excellent. Okay, that's it, guys,
enough for that. Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We have plenty of news today, as you can imagine,
also eight thirty as candle anything, which is always fun.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Handle on the news with Amy and me. No Neil
lead story. Well, a sweep through MacArthur Park local and
feds have gone through multiple arrests and it's a continuing
crackdown on drug dealing and other criminal activity going to
(06:44):
MacArthur park and arresting people is like fishing in a barrel, right,
is that? Catching fish in a barrel? Because all you
have to do is walk in the door and you
get all These thirteen people were arrested influence of narcotic
other six people arrested for less stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
So there we go.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Karen Bass said she was in support of the crackdown.
Good for her, and I don't think many people are
opposed to that.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Another night of booms and pops, and some people are
opposed to this. City officials in Long Beach and the
City of Industry warned residents late yesterday that they would
hear helicopters, controlled explosions, and simulated weapons fire sound familiar
The US militaries conducting training exercises in both of those cities.
(07:37):
The City of Long Beach said, to preserve operational safety,
were unable to provide further information regarding the nature of
the training, the location, or the timing. This came a
day after the cities of Irvine and Pasadena also had
military operations simulated.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And there do you ever remember these cities having military exercises
in them?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I mean, in the.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
City twenty years, I've never.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Never It's weird.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I mean, the only place I've ever seen is Camp
Pendles in where they do amphibious landings because it's right
there on the Ocean's Camp Penalton, the Marine base.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Well, they're run a base, so they do training a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's yeah, you bet they do it.
It's kind of neat to go zipping down the five
Freeway and see what's going on with the helicopters and
the amphibious voats, etc.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But over your house, over your house, No, not so much.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
One, two three. This is going to take a while.
The vote continues in California. In the governor's race, Republican
Steve Hilton is still leading Democrat Javier Bessera by one
percentage point, so the lead's been closed down or narrowed
(08:50):
a bit. Tom Steyer is back six points. Sees it
just over twenty percent. So that's about sixty percent of
the votes tallied by yesterday afternoon. Now in the LA
mayors race, sixty six percent of the votes have been counted.
They're expecting to do another vote drop today. But we've
(09:12):
got Karen Bass obviously in first place. She's moving on
to the runoff and then Nythia Rahman and Spencer Pratt.
Then why the gap is narrowing. Pratt is still ahead,
but Nythia Ramen is gaining ground.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I am going to do a story about why it
takes so long to count ballots in California, and of
course the President's reaction to it, which is always fun. Also,
Tom Steyer, who is third, called one of the election
officials and said, find me eight thousand votes that I'm
willing to pay for them.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Political joke, Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Trump's calling out California. The votes are being counted, and
President Trump went to social media saying that Democrats are
trying to steal the governors and mayor's elections. He says,
here we go with the very late and massive numbers
of mail in ballots. And then later yesterday the President said,
(10:15):
look what's happening in California. The Democrats, right before our
very eyes, are stealing the vote.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Now, I'm going to give Trump a little bit of
credit here because he is not talking about stole machines
being flipped, where votes for Republicans are being flipped illegally
to Democrats. This is only the mail in ballots, which
he views just right on point that mail in ballots
(10:45):
per se are fraudulent because Democrats, for the most part,
do more mail in ballots than Republicans, and he said
they're fraud You know, there are eight states that have
exactly the same program, exactly this same system of mail
in ballots, that is, everybody is registered automatically in the state,
gets ballots and then can vote by mail.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Eight states. How many does they say or fraud one
none of the other states.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And there are a couple of those states that are
Trump supporters Republicans, they will never be fraud because if
if Republican wins, there is no fraud. So I'm going
to do, of course, more about that all of it
at seven am. Talk about why it takes so long
in California to count the ballots, and I'll explain.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Donald Trump is all the rage and the zoo. In Bangladesh,
there's a fifteen hundred pound bull or actually it's a buffalo.
It's a rare albino buffalo with a shock of golden hair.
They've named him Donald Trump, and he's drawing crowds from
across Bangladesh. He became a sensation when a farmer noticed
(12:02):
that his blonde tuft of hair really kind of looked
a lot like Donald Trump's hair, and yeah, don't have
a picture, and it does.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, it looks like his hair. It does.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
So I'm gonna put it on a si Instagram.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Oh dude, it is so much. It is so fun.
And then they've put this particular.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
It's particularly a buffalo in a China shop so people
can see him.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Another political joke.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, but they were going to slaughter him and they
decided not to, and they put him in a zoo
and he's drawing huge crowds because everybody wants to see
the Donald.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I think he's albino, isn't he.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, he's a rare albino buffalo. But I think it's
the Donald Trump hair that's attracting people.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I agree completely. Yep. This is if Donald Trump were
a buffalo. This is what he would look like.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Finally funded, the Senate early this morning passed legislation to
fund immigration enforcement agencies after weeks of delays and backlash
about the one point seven seven six billion dollar settlement fund.
It threatened to derail the bill, but that has been
(13:11):
removed from the bill, and so senators voted fifty two
to forty seven for the seventy billion dollar legislation to
fund immigration and customs enforcement and border patrol for the
next three years.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Hey, do I have this wrong? By the way?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What that in fact, that program of the weaponization money
is still in there that the president has the ability
to do it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
That he won on that one. Am I reading this wrong?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's still in there. But then there was a different
vote on a different legislation, rights legislation after.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
That, but he got but he got blocking it, but
he got it. He got the vote.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Yeah, so it's clear if that'll ever happen because.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well, that's a political issue. But it's in there. The
fight he won. The fight where you had Republican senators
that were screaming against it. Only one Republican flipped, by
the way, they all lined up.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
If the president wants it. The president wants it now.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Can you imagine, and you're right, how many people are
actually going to get it?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Can you imagine if.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
One just one of those January sixth defendants, excuse me,
patriots who were upholding the constitution, if one of them
gets money, can you imagine the full political fallout? Yeah,
it's crazy, I mean, it's just gotten insane. Okay, moving on,
(14:41):
I can go nuts on this one.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
John Bolton's taken the deal. So former Trump advisor turned
Trump critic John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to
retaining national security information. He was charged by the Department
of Justice. Part of the deal, Bolton will be arraigned
again on June twenty sixth. He will point, at which
(15:06):
point the judge will have up to ninety days to
render a sentence. He could face up to five years
in jail. He has already agreed to pay more than
two million dollars in restitution.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I can't imagine he would get five years in prison
first defense now not a chance, but aguen to pay
two point twenty five million dollars in restitution.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
My goodness, that's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Money, which apparently it's about the amount that he earned
on his book, which is where the classified information showed
up allegedly. Time to Go Supersonic, a widely touted successor
to the Concord, which is capable of completing the London
(15:52):
to New York route in less than four hours, is
getting closer to its maiden flight. NASA's X fifteen quiet
supersonic research aircraft is currently undergoing final safety evaluations ahead
of its inaugural journey. It's expecting to go mock one
point five.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Yeah, not as fast as the Concord.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
But I think how fast did the Concord go mock to?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I want to win to mock.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Twoh, which is thirteen hundred and fifty four miles per hour.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, and this is not even well, this is quite
below that. But this has to do with instead of
a sonic boom, sort of a sonic not not much
of a boom. And that's the big That's why the
Concord could never fly over land. It could only go
over the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Does it just go boom boom, boom, boom boom the
whole way?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I think it goes boom boom boom boom. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It depends on where you are. Yeah it you know what.
I don't know the answer to that, and I should
and I did talk to I've got to talk to Yeah,
Rod pile on that we can to do one more
and take a break.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Something fishy about this angered that a fellow cop used
the officer's microwave to heat up fish A detective allegedly
pulled his gun and pointed it at the other officer.
He was at police headquarters in Myrtle Beach Saturday when
he got into a dispute with another patrolman. He confronted
(17:28):
the patrol mon about warming up his fish in the
microwave because it caused an odor in the office.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, I can understand that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Have you ever smelled microwaveable fish or microwave fish? It's disgusting,
and so, yeah, he was arrested. I think he's got
a complete defense here. I don't think any jury would
convict him because.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Every year stinky fish.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, every jurors smelled fish in a microwave, all right, Well.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
From stinky fish to something squirming in the Spaghettios in
Floridas sued Campbell's and Walmart, saying she found moving parasites
in a can of spaghettios. Mary Hubbard says she bought
the spaghettios in June of twenty twenty four at a
Walmart supercenter in Oki Chobe, Florida. She says she opened
(18:16):
up the can, served it to herself and her child,
and then after eating part of it, she said she
noticed what appeared to be worms and or parasites moving
in the food. She says she took video of it,
and then she also says that due to that contamination,
she had severe health effects, suffered serious permanent injuries, including
(18:39):
a parasitic infection, gastro enteritis, and more.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Okay, couple things I want to point out there's some
legal issues here.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Stop that, Michelle.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
If you've ever eaten spaghettio's, you know that parasitic worms
can only help the spaghettios.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
They are bad, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Okay, yeah, they're pretty bad. The other thing are the damages.
This is always comes up. You have a rear ender, right,
you have a rear in accident, you've been hit at
three miles per hour. Permanent injuries, emotional distress, hysterical, never
be able to sleep again. In her case, I would
love to know what permanent injuries are. I have no idea.
(19:21):
And it's if she never ever hears the word spaghetti again,
she will get hysterical. Well that's or o's this. You
can't say o's around her because it's going to put
her in a PTSD. Land And now they're asking seventy
five thousand dollars in damages from Campbell's and Walmart. They're
(19:42):
also blaming Walmart because Walmart didn't know, or Walmart should
have known, because Walmart should have opened every single can
of spaghetti O's to find out if there are parasitic
worms inside.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So okay, let's go after Walmart.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Two and she bought the can in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It said, righty, well, yeah, you could make the same
wild though.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, but seventy five thousand dollars in damage when you
talk about permanent damage. No, if it's true, you're going
for a hell of a lot more than seventy five
thousand dollars in damages. So okay, parasitic worms good for you,
better tasting than any canna spaghettios would ever be.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Not exactly right. Orange County health officials are walking back
a claimed that no vapor or fumes were released during
that chemical tank crisis at the Aerospace Company and Garden
Grove two weeks ago. State officials maintained that any leak
did not pose major health risks to the public. So
officials with the Orange County Fire Authority said that there
(20:46):
was off gassing with some fumes and a vapor release
from the tank. Remember this all happened right before Memorial
Day and during Memorial Day. But then the county health officials,
doctor Regina chinci O Kwon said daring a meeting media
briefing on Memorial Day, that there was no contamination and
no fumes.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
All right, so there was so guests, I'm guess seeing
that there was, and they said there wasn't. What a shocker, right,
what a shocker? Now the good news it doesn't look
like there were. Well, no, they're going to be permanent injuries.
I guarantee you because of the vapor you smell it,
you're permanently injured.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Of course, there's gonna be a lawsuit or several.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Here the evacuated fifty thousand people, and there actually are
some damages here. You have to get out of dodge
and you have to go someplace. You can't cook at home, hotels,
and there's a serious there's damage. Oh we heard yesterday.
I was in the car with Lindsay and what came up?
The cards for a kids jingle? Wait a minute, yeah, yeah,
(21:54):
what the longest running cars for kids jingle? With those
kids who are now out there and you can find
you know, I don't know how they are drug ethics hookers.
I don't know what they're doing now. By the way,
that is a joke. I want to point that out.
It's parody, just in case someone's going.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
To sue us.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
But moving on, I thought they weren't going I thought
they couldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well, they might not be able to, but they can
for now. An appeals court ruled that Cars for Kids
ads can be played on the air in California while
the appeals process plays out, so it's still making its
way through the court system. Last month, Orange County Superior
Court Judge Gassia app Carrion ruled that the ad violates
(22:41):
the state's false advertising law and ordered the nonprofit to
stop airing the ads in their current form.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Why because it turned out that the money was fundeled,
for the most part to Orthodox Jewish programs in New York,
New Jersey and the Middle East.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
So there you go, going up.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But it's your own fault. Governor Newsom's defending the California
gas tax as the national average fuel cost in the
US continues to remain above four dollars a gallon. Wouldn't
be nice if it was four dollars a gallon. Here
New York posts claimed that California had hiked its gas
taxes again, which it does. Yeah, but the press office
(23:30):
said the story's false because the gas tax increases automatically
to adjust for inflation. And the Press office says that
that decision was voted on by California voters before Newsom
took office, and I was back in twenty eighteen, so apparently.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
That and that's before gas was nine dollars a gallon
like it is today. You look at the taxes that
are in every gallon of gas here in California, sixty
cents per gallon, sales tax of ten cents a gallon,
except if you're in La Orange County, it's not ten cents.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
It's more than that.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Also, a federal tax of eighteen cents that goes across
all fifty states. So we're at a minimum of eighty
eight cents per gallon in taxes for.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
The gasoline that we buy. Isn't that special? Yep? Okay,
let's go ahead. That's taxes.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And the only reason taxes go up every year is
because we did. We voted in a cost of living,
because God forbid, we want our taxes ever to go
down and inflation. If you don't don't factor in inflation,
then the tax does drop simply by a way of inflation.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Haven for road ragers, Ventura Boulevard in the San Fernando
Valley has been named the country's most passive aggressive road.
A trucking company did a survey of thousands of motorists
in May of twenty twenty six to identify roads and
routes most likely to cause passive aggressive driving, including tailgating, blocking, merges,
(25:20):
breake checking, and excessive honking. And Ventura Boulevard, known for
its endless drivers pulling in and out of local businesses
in valets, causing heavy traffic backups, scored number one.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You bet well.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
First of all, I grew up in the San Frano Valley,
so I can't tell you how many hours I have
spent on Ventura Boulevard, and there are it seems like
every restaurant, every shop in the San Frano Valley, which
has a couple million people in it, is on Ventura Boulevard.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
And I've experienced this.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I used to go to Indian restaurants constantly, and the
drivers where the turbanes slipped down over their eyes or
just there was a disaster. And we go to a
Mexican restaurant and even when the police walk in. You
see the employees bailing out of windows, even I mean
there is I can see that and I've experienced it.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
It is. It's a drag. It's not a drag strip,
but it's a drag.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Facial recognition well did its job, and that's led to
a lawsuit. Amazon has been sued by a guy in
Virginia who alleges privacy violations when ring doorbell cameras at
his friends and relatives' homes gathered and stored images of
his face utilizing facial recognition software. Charles Siegwald is pushing
for class action status. He sued Amazon in federal court Monday,
(26:50):
claiming that a feature known as familiar Faces preserves images
of anyone who passes by without their consent. He's suing
for five million dollars in damages.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
A couple of things about that, legally, anyone who passes
by on the sidewalk or on the street, even in
a car, it is that's no apps expectation, There is
no privacy, so that's not going to fly. And the
other thing, on a practical measure, how many bad guys
have been picked up by facial recognition or by recognition
(27:23):
in general. Does all that stop and we go back
to we're not going to be able to use facial
recognition software when it helps so much with law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I'll tell you who's fighting this a lot. Who are
joining this.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Class every porch pilot pirate in the United States.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Hey, if I steal your stuff, I don't want any
record of it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
That's a whole yep, all right.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Not waiting for the open for business sign. Three mule
dear have become the first animals to walk over California's
first wildlife crossing. And it's not our crossing over the
one oh one. It's in Siskyou County and it is
similarly near completion. But three mule deer were captured on
camera crossing the bridge over a very deadly stretch of
(28:14):
State Route ninety seven where more than fifty deer and
sixteen elk have been hit and killed by vehicles between
twenty fifteen and twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And the big one is in a Gouray Hills, Yep.
It's going to be the largest crossing in the world.
It goes over the one oh one freeway, where mountain lions,
for example, will be able to transverse the freeway because unfortunately, too.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Many of them are hit.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
And once this happens, what you will see is pieces
of mule, deer and elk along that overpass.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Okay, moving on, clamoring to kill the lizards.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Animal lover.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Residents of Georgia may not expect to find a four
foot long reptile native to South America in their backyard,
but wildlife officials are warning residents to be on the
lookout for an invasive species that is threatening named native wildlife,
spreads disease and disrupts habitats across the region. He looks
like a nice region a lizard, but he's four feet long.
(29:20):
It's an Argentine black and white tea gou can be
more than ten pounds and apparently is eating a lot
of It eats everything.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, and that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
So chicken fruits eggs all of its eggs.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
So you have these invasive species of both animals and
plants that come in and cause unbelievable damage. And so
they're saying, go ahead and.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Kill them, just kill them. God, why not. They're going
to have a let's kill a lizard day in Georgia.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Guarantee you, well, they do it with those snakes in Florida,
they have the Great Snake Round up because a.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Those are invasive, and the Great Lakes have those clams,
those barnacles that are in the bottom of ships and
they eat everything also, so yeah, these people bring these
invasive species and they just take over.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
