Speaker 2 (00:19):
On Yeah what he's been morning, July fifteenth. We have
a modify two this morning for small no Amy, but
we have Heather Brooker in. Good morning, Heather, good morning.
And yeah Neil, who is having all kinds of problems connecting,
so let me know we need connect so it's none here.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh we did connect all right? Good good morning, Neil,
Good morning. Are we getting a little static there for Neil?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, that's the issue and not the type of static
I normally like to give you.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, I know, it's just well, they'll play with it
because it's a little staticky and people are going to
go crazy listening to it. Hello. In many cases people
would rather have static than have no static. Okay, uh cono,
good morning, Good morning, Bill and Will Good morning, Bill,
good morning, and we're so happy, were so happy in
(01:14):
the morning.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
You were wrong. This is this is definitely a Schwitz
right now? Is it out there as fits the valleys
a sitz? Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, Well, you know I haven't been outside, so I
don't know how s fitzy it is outside. Uh and
in the meantime, Anne, are you fitzing too? Yeah, women
don't shit, that's true. Women women don't sweat, right, there
are a few a few ethnicities where they don't stop.
(01:43):
You know, the armpits are dripping and yeah, I'm just
thinking of you know, the hairy armpits. You know, there
used to be a time when I was growing up
or when I was a teenagers, uh, the sixties and
the seventies where women didn't shave their pits or didn't
(02:06):
shave their legs either. And I'm going to share a
quick story with you. I don't think I ever shared
a story with you. And that is a few times
that I participated in LSD. As you know, I was
a garbage can and I did every kind of drug
that you can ever imagine. One of the things for
the first time in LSD tripping is you should And
(02:29):
I did have a guide, someone who knows it very well,
was not high and sort of guide you through. So
there was a gal. I was living in half a
commune there. Actually I was kind of living in a
house with a bunch of people, and one of the
gals was my guide and lived with us. And let's
(02:51):
just say she was a little heavy set, and she
would wear the skin tight dresses that almost no one
on the planet can wear unless you're incredibly thin. Well,
she wasn't, and she did and she did not shave
her legs. And imagine this. Okay, you're getting high, right,
(03:13):
the LSD comes on, you know, it's starting to take effect,
and this lady, then you're going, oh my god, this
is terrible or wow, this is terrific, depending on which
way you feel. That was pretty good for me, So
I'm going great. And then I was touching her, not
(03:34):
in a sexual way, just sort of touching her. You know,
oh wow, this is what your arm feels like. It
feels different. And then I got to her leg. Now,
a couple of things about her legs. One didn't shave
her legs, had very coarse hair on her legs, and
she used to wear almost these compression stockings, these really
(03:56):
thick black stockings, and the hair would actually poke through them. Uh,
it was so coarse and so rough. And so there
was my first LSD trip, feeling hairs through a stocking
on a very hairy legged woman. Okay, I just wanted
(04:20):
to stray out through.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Just what happened?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Upsetting, Yes, how I start overcame down, locked us all
in and then I heard click.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Click click click click click click click on the roller coaster,
and we're off.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
That happened, by the way, that's true. That's a true story.
That actually happened to me. That was all.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
How long did you guys date after that?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
We didn't date. She had a boyfriend who, by the
way she was, she must have weight. I'm not kidding
you to fifty two sixty Her boyfriend, soaking wet, was
one hundred and twenty five pounds.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Why do you hate fat people so much?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I know I don't hate fat people, and I'll tell
you I don't hate fat people.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I had there because I was.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I was heavy set my entire life, and I project
and that's the problem. It's strictly a projection. It's all
about me, not about people that are heavy.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I don't like that I can't see you this morning.
It makes me uncomfortable that I can't see you.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I know the zoom is not working, so anyway, just
to make it clear about that, it's that's one of
the things.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Body shaming is not something that I particularly am thrilled about.
But it's oh, believe me. I've talked to my shrink
a whole lot about this. Okay, I can't think of
anything else. What do you guys think of? You want
some news?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yes? Please?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Okay, moving on, I keep her into his psyche.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, well, really thick stockings with the hair like poking through. Okay,
I handle on. News is up. It's Heather and Neil
and me lead story. Well. Iran has threatened to block
(06:08):
more trading routes in the region. The US has launched
the fresh wave of strikes. The Revolutionary Guards said that
the Strait of her Moves is going to remain shut
down until the US ends its act of aggression. Now,
to be fair, it was the US simply responding to
(06:29):
Iran attacking shipping, and so we're basically in the middle
of a war. The war has not ceased. Now, the
issue is what does the president do? Does he keep
on bombing Iran? Does Iran then in retaliation hit targets
in the Mideast to its neighboring countries, start hitting navigation
(06:49):
ships going through the Strait? Yeah? The President started this,
and man, he's got himself in a quagmire to say
the least all right to do? Want more? Go to
r Yeah, do it right?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
So, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been instructed to
suspend vehicle stops during enforcement operations nationwide. This comes after
those two fatal shootings, one in Texas and in Maine
over the last week. This applies to ICE Enforcement and
Removal operations, the division responsible for civil immigration arrest, but
(07:24):
not Homeland security investigations. Those primarily handle criminal investigations. So
vehicle stops whenever they can do. Vehicle stops still whenever
they're partnered with a law enforcement agency and they're targeting
criminal suspects, but otherwise it has to be suspended.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah. This is one where ICE is saying, these people
that are being shot they're either domestic terrorists or they've
weaponized their car. This last one is the Okay, maybe
the ICE agent wasn't threatened, Maybe you wasn't in the
way of a car going just trying to ram him.
(08:03):
It was for public safety. I don't know what that means,
and we're going to find out what it means that
at some point. And I'm going to do this story
at seven point thirty about body cans and the position
of ICE and this is not helping the administration at all,
not even a little bit, in addition to it being
(08:24):
completely inhumane. Is what's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Todd Blanche acting Attorney General. Of course, he's the one
who took over things when Pam Bondi after her ouster
I loved that, after her ouster like, they threw her
out physically, But acting Attorney General cided over more than
a year of disruption on any in the Justice Department's history,
(08:51):
mass firings, all kinds of politically motivated prosecutions, erosion in
the department's tradition of independence, all these things right, Well,
today mister Blanche of fifty one has to defend that
record before the Senate Judiciary Committee as he seeks the
confirmation to permanently serve in that position. Now a lot
(09:13):
of this is symbolic, of course, well that is.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I don't understand if their votes aren't there to
confirm him, why would they move forward with the hearings,
Because that's not what happens usually the president. When the
votes aren't there to confirm, the president yanks the nomination
and put someone else in place, especially since, as you said,
he could be he could continue on as acting Attorney
(09:39):
General until Trump leaves office. And the other thing is
which you were right about what his position is and
what he has done. He has not only been on
the side of non independence that Justice Department, and you've
got the even the FEDS should be should not be independent,
(10:03):
even though they are have been policy wise for decades
and decades. It's all under the purview of the president everything.
There's no such thing as independence, and he is pushing
that like crazy. He's another lap dog. Now, that's who
Trump puts in. He puts in lap dogs, and I'd
love to see what happens unless the votes are there.
(10:25):
I'll tell you one thing. If the votes are there,
it's going to be really, really close.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Tragedy just off the coast of Alcatraz. One person died
and three others are missing after a forty nine foot
cabin cruiser took on water and capsized in the waters
between Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge. Sixteen people survived.
There was about twenty people on the cruiser at the time.
(10:55):
Most of those people aboard were relatives or knew one another,
and they had gathered for a memorial on vote great huh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Those are oars. We you forget how how tough that
that bay could be. I mean, the weather can be
really brutal. And that's what looked like it happened here.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Senaerate Democrats give the big block to one point one
five trillion dollar Pentagon Policy Bill yesterday. Massive legislation became
a casualty. It's been what a couple of months or so,
this fight to reign in President Donald Trump on Iran.
(11:36):
So this is kind of in protest of the Iran war.
So the National Defense Authorization Act fell well short of
the sixty votes that it needed to advance.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, I mean a law. It's pretty clear a president
can only go sixty days without Congressional approval for any
of these well in this particular war or something like this,
and he wants to simply say, and he has sixty days,
doesn't apply to me. I can go to war as
long as I want. And the Center's going, okay, then
we're going to stop this defense bill. And if they're
(12:11):
playing chicken and who's going to win on this one,
who the hell knows. At this point, the President for
the most part, has won across the board except for
the courts. The courts are the only place where so
far there has been any kind of guardrails and say
no to the president.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
New York is the first state to halt construction of
large new data centers. They imposed a one year moratorium.
There are concerns that the facilities will raise power costs,
strain water supplies, and burden local communities. The governor, Kathy Hochel,
said that she would also pursue legislation to repeal sales
(12:50):
tax exemptions for the large data centers.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, you got communities that want these there because you
have a tax base, You have people, certainly the construction work,
but my god, do they get in the way. The
amount of power that these data centers need, the amount
of water they need to cool down all the equipment
is just astronomical. So there's a fight instead of oh boy,
(13:15):
let's have them in our backyard. Now, there are plenty
of people in this case New York saying, hold on
a minute, we ain't doing it, not until we figure
all this out.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Why aren't there people trying to make these data centers
more efficient?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Because because you can't at this point that the technology
isn't there.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Heather, I believe that this tech will actually solve its
own problem eventually. But this is the new arms race.
You get China and other countries putting forth their efforts
to do this. We will be soaked in new technology
that we can't keep up with.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Ye, that's what's happening. Faster and faster and faster.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
So another excellent reason for grocery prices to rise in California. Yeah,
grocery prices are going to be soaring even higher. You've
got to send it Bill fifty four, which was passed
back in twenty twenty two. It's the Plastic Pollution Prevention
and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Who writes that stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
This is to reduce single use plastics and packaging. So
you're looking at the estimation now that you're going to pay.
Each household is going to pay between sixty six and
one hundred and ninety dollars per year extra as a
result of the non recyclable packaging piece. Because what's going
(14:37):
to happen is the companies are going to get punished
for this. They're going to pass it along to us,
and then we get punished from the packaging and the
taxes from the politicians.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
So open another hole. They're coming for us.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Then it's the issue of how important is recycling and
this again you know it's bits and pieces that it
all costs money, And you're right, but Neil, every time
prices go up, it's passed down to us no matter what.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And yes, but I don't we keep doing these things
with plastic and paper and going back and forth. The
reality is it's a broken system.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
When it it is, we don't know. I don't know
how to I don't know how to fix. I mean,
there are places in the world that do a decent job,
and I do all. You have to look them up.
By the way, the acronym for the plastic pollution prevention
and packaging producer responsibility is peoh peer.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
So back in twenty twenty three, you'll recall President Trump
was found liable for sexually assaulting Egene Carroll, author Egene
Carroll and defaming her. Well, now she has officially received
the five million dollars in damages from that lawsuit and
(15:56):
had with interest and it has been her lawyers says
she has received that money and is now in her account.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, oh, the five million for Donald Trump to pay
give me a break. It's not even it's not even
couch change. But there's also another one for what eighty
three million dollars that's out there, and yeah, yeah, so
that's going to be fun. Now when he may get
a little bit upset about not much. I think for
him it's more symbolic because whenever he is held liable
(16:26):
or at fault anywhere under any circumstances, it's either rigged
or everybody is lying. I mean, there's no such thing
as any wrongdoing on the part of the administration or
the part of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I think you're right. I think it hurts him more
than the money does.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The pride thing, yeah, the pride losing, you know, all
that stuff, But.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Five million dollars to a billionaire isn't You're right. It's
Trump change.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Said Trump change, Trump change, Change, change works, It works
all right.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Lake Powell second largest reservoir here in the US of A.
Very they say it's nearing critically low, so we're getting
close to elevation levels that are very low. As of Monday,
the levels there at Lake Powell measured three five twenty
four point three feet above sea level. And that's not good.
(17:27):
What ends up happening here those hydro electric turbines and stuff.
They start moving too slow because they don't have enough
water pushing them, and then they can no longer produce
the hydro power. And that starts at three thousand, four
hundred and ninety feet, So you can see up against
that three thirty five hundred or so that we're knocking
(17:50):
on the door to that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, I know, thirty five feet is what we're talking about.
If it goes down another what thirty five feet? Do
I have that right?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Look yeah, yeah, yeah, and then and then it hits
the deadpool. Uh that's where as you said, uh, the
water can't be uh pumped through the turbines, which means
electricity stops Lake Powell. Do you remember Planet of the
Apes there? Everybody did when that spaceship first hits that
(18:19):
these that Charlton Heston and whoever else was on the
ship and they're in that lake that was Lake Powell?
Oh really, yeah, that was.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's actually an interesting fact.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, okay, see, oh, Neil, that you actually comment, that's
something I have that I put forward.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Finds you very interesting. I've never said you weren't interesting.
You can't pronounce meta, but you're interesting.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That is correct. I cannot pronounce meta Meida meta meta.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Yeah, Edward Edwin, excuse me. Diaz is a former Dodgers player.
I guess current current Dodgers player.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
You guys should never give me sports stories, but I'm
gonna do my best. He's a current player. He's a
current player, Thank you so much for that. Apparently he
pitched in the All Star Game a year ago and
now he's working towards this says, rejoining the Los Angeles
Dodgers after he was injured, okay, after his elbow surgery,
and he was involved in some kind of illegal cock
fighting situation. What is that about?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well, this Puerto Rico where they do it a little
bit differently. That's when you get these roosters, these cocks
who kill each other, and they have these horrific talents.
They put these metal actually what would they call him,
the razors or something, yeah, something. It's like Wolverine.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
It's so violent with these.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And they and they and they kill each other and
they bet on it. It's basically prize fighting among roosters.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I guess I don't understand. So is he's not allowed
to do that in Puerto Rico?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
You're not allowed to do that at all in the
United States, it's illegal, and there's a federal ban on
cock fighting. Yeah, it is pretty disgusting.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Well, he's listed as being a participant in a cock
fighting tournament that's coming up on Friday in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
And he's probably, you know, pretty well against the the
other chicken because he's a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Bigger and has opposable thumbs.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yes, an athlete. Yeah, it's sure. I mean, I don't
know if you've ever seen it. It is really rough
stuff to see.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It's awful.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, it is awful.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
The disappointed they were birds and uh yeah, and and
these uh, these birds, these cocks, male rooster people, male
chickens are bread to do this.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
They are vicious and it is because in reality, there's
no such thing as a killer chicken. It's killer owners.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Well, and the certainty of law we get.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Musk likely broke the law by giving voters one million
dollars there in Wisconsin. So it says the Wisconsin Bard
if you remember a billionaire, actually trillionaire, are they're right
in this garbage for he's a trillionaire. The t Elon
Musk likely broke Wisconsin's law when he handed out one
(21:21):
million dollar checks to voters in the twenty twenty five
Supreme Court election. You know, Bill, I remember, do you
remember the days when we had the armored car, the
KFI armored vehicle?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Okay, so years and years and years ago we illegally
had an armored vehicle, fully armored for KFI, and we
used to take it out. Tim Kelly, I did Paul
the Wall, and we'd give out T shirts during voting
time to get people to register to vote.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
And they stopped us.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Someone stopped some official stuff us and said, you can't
even give out a T shirt to get to motivate
people to sign up for voting, not a particular side
or anything like that. So I always wondered when this
came up, It's like, how could that not be a problem.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, I don't. I don't get it either. I have
no problem. And this was a lottery. If you registered
to vote then or you voted, then your name went
into this lottery pool and you got a million dollars
and the checks were handed out and that you're right,
that's not allowed. I don't understand why not, because there
(22:38):
used to be a time when you would come in
with the I voted sticker and you can get half
a dozen donuts from I don't remember which donut shop
there was, and I guess you can't do that either.
And what must Must want to do is to make
sure that a Republican won that campaign because in Wisnsen
(23:00):
you elect the Supreme Court justices. By the way, California
we elect judges too, did you know that? And no
one ever pays attention because the judges either they finish
up their term, which is twelve years, or they resigned
before twelve years, and the governor then appoints, and then
on the election you'll see the name of judges. No
(23:22):
one pays attention, it's just the existing judge. Anyway, Must
lost big time on that one. It was the Democrat
who won. And by the way, we needed the armored
truck just to drive around because we were KFI at
that time.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, yeah, we had quite a legalation.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
There's some more turnover in Mayor Bass's office. A top
spokesperson for La Mara Bass has left her administration after
a brief tenure. Colby Lee was Bass's director of communications.
He started just in February and has now resigned. He
says to spend more time with family and loved ones.
(24:03):
This is follow several departures which began in October.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Let me ask this question, and that is you take
a job and then ten minutes later you leave it
to spend more time with family and loved ones. Don't
you think that's a little problematic. Also, look at the
number of people who are going through this department. I
mean she's going through the spokespeople the way I change
my underwear about once a week.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Well, in her defense, you don't really have any friends
or family.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's true, though, or underwear.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
This is multiple sorry, just multiple departures. Go ahead, We
already talked about it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yeah, you know, she's got to pull the nose up
because the last.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Thing we need is the other.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Candidate.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah, Nitia Rahman. That would be a bad bass.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It's not looking good for Bass. Would this kind of
turnovers since October? She's had one, two, three. This is
the fourth person to leave her office. And if that's
held like a major position, just since October, that's not good.
That means there's something behind this.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
See a lot of attacks. She's going to have a
hard time getting over what she did during the fires
when she was in Ghana. And then lied like crazy
to somehow justify it.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
And then also the recent boil Heights situation too.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
All of that, I think we do have time for
one more.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
This is interesting.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
New broadcasting guidelines been introduced in Europe to prevent women
athletes from being sexualized through camera angles and slow motion replays.
I think we can all visual that the minute, visualize
that the minute it's said.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You know, those low kind.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Of crouchy shots and everything's in slow motion and all
of those things. So the guidelines worn against lingering shots
of athletes bodies, low camera angles, capture rebutk views slow
motion replays that offer very little technical or storytelling about
(26:07):
why are you smiling?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Cono?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Gees, dude, women's sports might not get a lot of
viewership after this.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's getting No, it's wait, yeah, good for you, con O,
you misogynous sexist you wow. So anyway, it's true, I
mean women are sexualized. You know, the big thing in
soccer was women wearing blue shorts instead of white shorts
because the when they were on their period, uh, the
(26:35):
it would it would leak through. And no, it's true, No,
it's absolutely true. And know what happened to that first time.
That alone was a fight.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
First time on zoom I've ever seen it go in
for a close up on heather.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
It literally was.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Like a zoo. It was also you know, it all
started in Europe with a French commentator at a sports
event saying, look at the size of those things.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Oh my god, Bill Handle, you stop it. Well, I
will say volleyball is particularly bad. They do a lot
of booty shots and they have really tight short shorts
in volleyball for women. So I think it's probably a
good idea of maybe you.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Know all that loose clothing the men wear in baseball
and football.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Sure, yeah, all right, we're done, guys. Daylight savings time.
Is it going to be permanent? Is it not? Who's
on which side? And I'll tell you a group of
people that just don't care. This is KFI AM six forty.

Good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Oh we did connect all right? Good good morning, Neil,
Good morning. Are we getting a little static there for Neil?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Yeah, that's the issue and not the type of static
I normally like to give you.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, I know, it's just well, they'll play with it
because it's a little staticky and people are going to
go crazy listening to it. Hello. In many cases people
would rather have static than have no static. Okay, uh cono,
good morning, Good morning, Bill and Will Good morning, Bill,
good morning, and we're so happy, were so happy in
(01:14):
the morning.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
You were wrong. This is this is definitely a Schwitz
right now? Is it out there as fits the valleys
a sitz? Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, Well, you know I haven't been outside, so I
don't know how s fitzy it is outside. Uh and
in the meantime, Anne, are you fitzing too? Yeah, women
don't shit, that's true. Women women don't sweat, right, there
are a few a few ethnicities where they don't stop.
(01:43):
You know, the armpits are dripping and yeah, I'm just
thinking of you know, the hairy armpits. You know, there
used to be a time when I was growing up
or when I was a teenagers, uh, the sixties and
the seventies where women didn't shave their pits or didn't
(02:06):
shave their legs either. And I'm going to share a
quick story with you. I don't think I ever shared
a story with you. And that is a few times
that I participated in LSD. As you know, I was
a garbage can and I did every kind of drug
that you can ever imagine. One of the things for
the first time in LSD tripping is you should And
(02:29):
I did have a guide, someone who knows it very well,
was not high and sort of guide you through. So
there was a gal. I was living in half a
commune there. Actually I was kind of living in a
house with a bunch of people, and one of the
gals was my guide and lived with us. And let's
(02:51):
just say she was a little heavy set, and she
would wear the skin tight dresses that almost no one
on the planet can wear unless you're incredibly thin. Well,
she wasn't, and she did and she did not shave
her legs. And imagine this. Okay, you're getting high, right,
(03:13):
the LSD comes on, you know, it's starting to take effect,
and this lady, then you're going, oh my god, this
is terrible or wow, this is terrific, depending on which
way you feel. That was pretty good for me, So
I'm going great. And then I was touching her, not
(03:34):
in a sexual way, just sort of touching her. You know,
oh wow, this is what your arm feels like. It
feels different. And then I got to her leg. Now,
a couple of things about her legs. One didn't shave
her legs, had very coarse hair on her legs, and
she used to wear almost these compression stockings, these really
(03:56):
thick black stockings, and the hair would actually poke through them. Uh,
it was so coarse and so rough. And so there
was my first LSD trip, feeling hairs through a stocking
on a very hairy legged woman. Okay, I just wanted
(04:20):
to stray out through.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Just what happened?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Upsetting, Yes, how I start overcame down, locked us all
in and then I heard click.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Click click click click click click click on the roller coaster,
and we're off.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
That happened, by the way, that's true. That's a true story.
That actually happened to me. That was all.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
How long did you guys date after that?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
We didn't date. She had a boyfriend who, by the
way she was, she must have weight. I'm not kidding
you to fifty two sixty Her boyfriend, soaking wet, was
one hundred and twenty five pounds.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Why do you hate fat people so much?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I know I don't hate fat people, and I'll tell
you I don't hate fat people.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I had there because I was.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
I was heavy set my entire life, and I project
and that's the problem. It's strictly a projection. It's all
about me, not about people that are heavy.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I don't like that I can't see you this morning.
It makes me uncomfortable that I can't see you.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I know the zoom is not working, so anyway, just
to make it clear about that, it's that's one of
the things.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Body shaming is not something that I particularly am thrilled about.
But it's oh, believe me. I've talked to my shrink
a whole lot about this. Okay, I can't think of
anything else. What do you guys think of? You want
some news?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Yes? Please?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Okay, moving on, I keep her into his psyche.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, well, really thick stockings with the hair like poking through. Okay,
I handle on. News is up. It's Heather and Neil
and me lead story. Well. Iran has threatened to block
(06:08):
more trading routes in the region. The US has launched
the fresh wave of strikes. The Revolutionary Guards said that
the Strait of her Moves is going to remain shut
down until the US ends its act of aggression. Now,
to be fair, it was the US simply responding to
(06:29):
Iran attacking shipping, and so we're basically in the middle
of a war. The war has not ceased. Now, the
issue is what does the president do? Does he keep
on bombing Iran? Does Iran then in retaliation hit targets
in the Mideast to its neighboring countries, start hitting navigation
(06:49):
ships going through the Strait? Yeah? The President started this,
and man, he's got himself in a quagmire to say
the least all right to do? Want more? Go to
r Yeah, do it right?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
So, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been instructed to
suspend vehicle stops during enforcement operations nationwide. This comes after
those two fatal shootings, one in Texas and in Maine
over the last week. This applies to ICE Enforcement and
Removal operations, the division responsible for civil immigration arrest, but
(07:24):
not Homeland security investigations. Those primarily handle criminal investigations. So
vehicle stops whenever they can do. Vehicle stops still whenever
they're partnered with a law enforcement agency and they're targeting
criminal suspects, but otherwise it has to be suspended.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah. This is one where ICE is saying, these people
that are being shot they're either domestic terrorists or they've
weaponized their car. This last one is the Okay, maybe
the ICE agent wasn't threatened, Maybe you wasn't in the
way of a car going just trying to ram him.
(08:03):
It was for public safety. I don't know what that means,
and we're going to find out what it means that
at some point. And I'm going to do this story
at seven point thirty about body cans and the position
of ICE and this is not helping the administration at all,
not even a little bit, in addition to it being
(08:24):
completely inhumane. Is what's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Todd Blanche acting Attorney General. Of course, he's the one
who took over things when Pam Bondi after her ouster
I loved that, after her ouster like, they threw her
out physically, But acting Attorney General cided over more than
a year of disruption on any in the Justice Department's history,
(08:51):
mass firings, all kinds of politically motivated prosecutions, erosion in
the department's tradition of independence, all these things right, Well,
today mister Blanche of fifty one has to defend that
record before the Senate Judiciary Committee as he seeks the
confirmation to permanently serve in that position. Now a lot
(09:13):
of this is symbolic, of course, well that is.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But I don't understand if their votes aren't there to
confirm him, why would they move forward with the hearings,
Because that's not what happens usually the president. When the
votes aren't there to confirm, the president yanks the nomination
and put someone else in place, especially since, as you said,
he could be he could continue on as acting Attorney
(09:39):
General until Trump leaves office. And the other thing is
which you were right about what his position is and
what he has done. He has not only been on
the side of non independence that Justice Department, and you've
got the even the FEDS should be should not be independent,
(10:03):
even though they are have been policy wise for decades
and decades. It's all under the purview of the president everything.
There's no such thing as independence, and he is pushing
that like crazy. He's another lap dog. Now, that's who
Trump puts in. He puts in lap dogs, and I'd
love to see what happens unless the votes are there.
(10:25):
I'll tell you one thing. If the votes are there,
it's going to be really, really close.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Tragedy just off the coast of Alcatraz. One person died
and three others are missing after a forty nine foot
cabin cruiser took on water and capsized in the waters
between Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge. Sixteen people survived.
There was about twenty people on the cruiser at the time.
(10:55):
Most of those people aboard were relatives or knew one another,
and they had gathered for a memorial on vote great huh.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Those are oars. We you forget how how tough that
that bay could be. I mean, the weather can be
really brutal. And that's what looked like it happened here.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Senaerate Democrats give the big block to one point one
five trillion dollar Pentagon Policy Bill yesterday. Massive legislation became
a casualty. It's been what a couple of months or so,
this fight to reign in President Donald Trump on Iran.
(11:36):
So this is kind of in protest of the Iran war.
So the National Defense Authorization Act fell well short of
the sixty votes that it needed to advance.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yeah, I mean a law. It's pretty clear a president
can only go sixty days without Congressional approval for any
of these well in this particular war or something like this,
and he wants to simply say, and he has sixty days,
doesn't apply to me. I can go to war as
long as I want. And the Center's going, okay, then
we're going to stop this defense bill. And if they're
(12:11):
playing chicken and who's going to win on this one,
who the hell knows. At this point, the President for
the most part, has won across the board except for
the courts. The courts are the only place where so
far there has been any kind of guardrails and say
no to the president.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
New York is the first state to halt construction of
large new data centers. They imposed a one year moratorium.
There are concerns that the facilities will raise power costs,
strain water supplies, and burden local communities. The governor, Kathy Hochel,
said that she would also pursue legislation to repeal sales
(12:50):
tax exemptions for the large data centers.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, you got communities that want these there because you
have a tax base, You have people, certainly the construction work,
but my god, do they get in the way. The
amount of power that these data centers need, the amount
of water they need to cool down all the equipment
is just astronomical. So there's a fight instead of oh boy,
(13:15):
let's have them in our backyard. Now, there are plenty
of people in this case New York saying, hold on
a minute, we ain't doing it, not until we figure
all this out.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Why aren't there people trying to make these data centers
more efficient?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Because because you can't at this point that the technology
isn't there.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Heather, I believe that this tech will actually solve its
own problem eventually. But this is the new arms race.
You get China and other countries putting forth their efforts
to do this. We will be soaked in new technology
that we can't keep up with.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Ye, that's what's happening. Faster and faster and faster.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
All right.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
So another excellent reason for grocery prices to rise in California. Yeah,
grocery prices are going to be soaring even higher. You've
got to send it Bill fifty four, which was passed
back in twenty twenty two. It's the Plastic Pollution Prevention
and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Who writes that stuff.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
This is to reduce single use plastics and packaging. So
you're looking at the estimation now that you're going to pay.
Each household is going to pay between sixty six and
one hundred and ninety dollars per year extra as a
result of the non recyclable packaging piece. Because what's going
(14:37):
to happen is the companies are going to get punished
for this. They're going to pass it along to us,
and then we get punished from the packaging and the
taxes from the politicians.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
So open another hole. They're coming for us.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Then it's the issue of how important is recycling and
this again you know it's bits and pieces that it
all costs money, And you're right, but Neil, every time
prices go up, it's passed down to us no matter what.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And yes, but I don't we keep doing these things
with plastic and paper and going back and forth. The
reality is it's a broken system.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
When it it is, we don't know. I don't know
how to I don't know how to fix. I mean,
there are places in the world that do a decent job,
and I do all. You have to look them up.
By the way, the acronym for the plastic pollution prevention
and packaging producer responsibility is peoh peer.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
So back in twenty twenty three, you'll recall President Trump
was found liable for sexually assaulting Egene Carroll, author Egene
Carroll and defaming her. Well, now she has officially received
the five million dollars in damages from that lawsuit and
(15:56):
had with interest and it has been her lawyers says
she has received that money and is now in her account.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, oh, the five million for Donald Trump to pay
give me a break. It's not even it's not even
couch change. But there's also another one for what eighty
three million dollars that's out there, and yeah, yeah, so
that's going to be fun. Now when he may get
a little bit upset about not much. I think for
him it's more symbolic because whenever he is held liable
(16:26):
or at fault anywhere under any circumstances, it's either rigged
or everybody is lying. I mean, there's no such thing
as any wrongdoing on the part of the administration or
the part of Donald Trump.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I think you're right. I think it hurts him more
than the money does.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The pride thing, yeah, the pride losing, you know, all
that stuff, But.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Five million dollars to a billionaire isn't You're right. It's
Trump change.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Said Trump change, Trump change, Change, change works, It works
all right.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Lake Powell second largest reservoir here in the US of A.
Very they say it's nearing critically low, so we're getting
close to elevation levels that are very low. As of Monday,
the levels there at Lake Powell measured three five twenty
four point three feet above sea level. And that's not good.
(17:27):
What ends up happening here those hydro electric turbines and stuff.
They start moving too slow because they don't have enough
water pushing them, and then they can no longer produce
the hydro power. And that starts at three thousand, four
hundred and ninety feet, So you can see up against
that three thirty five hundred or so that we're knocking
(17:50):
on the door to that.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, I know, thirty five feet is what we're talking about.
If it goes down another what thirty five feet? Do
I have that right?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Look yeah, yeah, yeah, and then and then it hits
the deadpool. Uh that's where as you said, uh, the
water can't be uh pumped through the turbines, which means
electricity stops Lake Powell. Do you remember Planet of the
Apes there? Everybody did when that spaceship first hits that
(18:19):
these that Charlton Heston and whoever else was on the
ship and they're in that lake that was Lake Powell?
Oh really, yeah, that was.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
That's actually an interesting fact.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, okay, see, oh, Neil, that you actually comment, that's
something I have that I put forward.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Finds you very interesting. I've never said you weren't interesting.
You can't pronounce meta, but you're interesting.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
That is correct. I cannot pronounce meta Meida meta meta.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Yeah, Edward Edwin, excuse me. Diaz is a former Dodgers player.
I guess current current Dodgers player.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
You guys should never give me sports stories, but I'm
gonna do my best. He's a current player. He's a
current player, Thank you so much for that. Apparently he
pitched in the All Star Game a year ago and
now he's working towards this says, rejoining the Los Angeles
Dodgers after he was injured, okay, after his elbow surgery,
and he was involved in some kind of illegal cock
fighting situation. What is that about?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Well, this Puerto Rico where they do it a little
bit differently. That's when you get these roosters, these cocks
who kill each other, and they have these horrific talents.
They put these metal actually what would they call him,
the razors or something, yeah, something. It's like Wolverine.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
It's so violent with these.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
And they and they and they kill each other and
they bet on it. It's basically prize fighting among roosters.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
I guess I don't understand. So is he's not allowed
to do that in Puerto Rico?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
You're not allowed to do that at all in the
United States, it's illegal, and there's a federal ban on
cock fighting. Yeah, it is pretty disgusting.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Well, he's listed as being a participant in a cock
fighting tournament that's coming up on Friday in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
And he's probably, you know, pretty well against the the
other chicken because he's a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Bigger and has opposable thumbs.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yes, an athlete. Yeah, it's sure. I mean, I don't
know if you've ever seen it. It is really rough
stuff to see.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
It's awful.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, it is awful.
Speaker 6 (20:31):
The disappointed they were birds and uh yeah, and and
these uh, these birds, these cocks, male rooster people, male
chickens are bread to do this.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
They are vicious and it is because in reality, there's
no such thing as a killer chicken. It's killer owners.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Well, and the certainty of law we get.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Musk likely broke the law by giving voters one million
dollars there in Wisconsin. So it says the Wisconsin Bard
if you remember a billionaire, actually trillionaire, are they're right
in this garbage for he's a trillionaire. The t Elon
Musk likely broke Wisconsin's law when he handed out one
(21:21):
million dollar checks to voters in the twenty twenty five
Supreme Court election. You know, Bill, I remember, do you
remember the days when we had the armored car, the
KFI armored vehicle?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Okay, so years and years and years ago we illegally
had an armored vehicle, fully armored for KFI, and we
used to take it out. Tim Kelly, I did Paul
the Wall, and we'd give out T shirts during voting
time to get people to register to vote.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
And they stopped us.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Someone stopped some official stuff us and said, you can't
even give out a T shirt to get to motivate
people to sign up for voting, not a particular side
or anything like that. So I always wondered when this
came up, It's like, how could that not be a problem.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Yeah, I don't. I don't get it either. I have
no problem. And this was a lottery. If you registered
to vote then or you voted, then your name went
into this lottery pool and you got a million dollars
and the checks were handed out and that you're right,
that's not allowed. I don't understand why not, because there
(22:38):
used to be a time when you would come in
with the I voted sticker and you can get half
a dozen donuts from I don't remember which donut shop
there was, and I guess you can't do that either.
And what must Must want to do is to make
sure that a Republican won that campaign because in Wisnsen
(23:00):
you elect the Supreme Court justices. By the way, California
we elect judges too, did you know that? And no
one ever pays attention because the judges either they finish
up their term, which is twelve years, or they resigned
before twelve years, and the governor then appoints, and then
on the election you'll see the name of judges. No
(23:22):
one pays attention, it's just the existing judge. Anyway, Must
lost big time on that one. It was the Democrat
who won. And by the way, we needed the armored
truck just to drive around because we were KFI at
that time.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, yeah, we had quite a legalation.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
There's some more turnover in Mayor Bass's office. A top
spokesperson for La Mara Bass has left her administration after
a brief tenure. Colby Lee was Bass's director of communications.
He started just in February and has now resigned. He
says to spend more time with family and loved ones.
(24:03):
This is follow several departures which began in October.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Let me ask this question, and that is you take
a job and then ten minutes later you leave it
to spend more time with family and loved ones. Don't
you think that's a little problematic. Also, look at the
number of people who are going through this department. I
mean she's going through the spokespeople the way I change
my underwear about once a week.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Well, in her defense, you don't really have any friends
or family.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
That's true, though, or underwear.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
This is multiple sorry, just multiple departures. Go ahead, We
already talked about it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yeah, you know, she's got to pull the nose up
because the last.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Thing we need is the other.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Candidate.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah, Nitia Rahman. That would be a bad bass.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
It's not looking good for Bass. Would this kind of
turnovers since October? She's had one, two, three. This is
the fourth person to leave her office. And if that's
held like a major position, just since October, that's not good.
That means there's something behind this.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
See a lot of attacks. She's going to have a
hard time getting over what she did during the fires
when she was in Ghana. And then lied like crazy
to somehow justify it.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
And then also the recent boil Heights situation too.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
All of that, I think we do have time for
one more.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
This is interesting.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
New broadcasting guidelines been introduced in Europe to prevent women
athletes from being sexualized through camera angles and slow motion replays.
I think we can all visual that the minute, visualize
that the minute it's said.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You know, those low kind.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
Of crouchy shots and everything's in slow motion and all
of those things. So the guidelines worn against lingering shots
of athletes bodies, low camera angles, capture rebutk views slow
motion replays that offer very little technical or storytelling about
(26:07):
why are you smiling?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Cono?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Gees, dude, women's sports might not get a lot of
viewership after this.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
It's getting No, it's wait, yeah, good for you, con O,
you misogynous sexist you wow. So anyway, it's true, I
mean women are sexualized. You know, the big thing in
soccer was women wearing blue shorts instead of white shorts
because the when they were on their period, uh, the
(26:35):
it would it would leak through. And no, it's true, No,
it's absolutely true. And know what happened to that first time.
That alone was a fight.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
First time on zoom I've ever seen it go in
for a close up on heather.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
It literally was.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Like a zoo. It was also you know, it all
started in Europe with a French commentator at a sports
event saying, look at the size of those things.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Oh my god, Bill Handle, you stop it. Well, I
will say volleyball is particularly bad. They do a lot
of booty shots and they have really tight short shorts
in volleyball for women. So I think it's probably a
good idea of maybe you.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Know all that loose clothing the men wear in baseball
and football.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Sure, yeah, all right, we're done, guys. Daylight savings time.
Is it going to be permanent? Is it not? Who's
on which side? And I'll tell you a group of
people that just don't care. This is KFI AM six forty.
