Heavenly and South Lake 106 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: Tahoe open Monday after a short three day delay. We 107 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: have Stephen Portnoy standing by. Good Morning, Stephen. We talked 108 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: about the Pentagon investigating Arizona Senator Mark Kelly and the 109 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: possibility that he would be reactivating the active duty to 110 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: face possible charges. Now we're hearing the FBI wants to 111 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: talk to all six of the lawmakers who were involved 112 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: in that video. 113 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 3: So tell us what's up. Please? 114 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know, there's much more to say than that. 115 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 5: I mean, look, the FBI is now aiming to interview 116 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 5: these six Democrats who appeared in this video in which 117 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 5: they urged members of the military intelligence community to ignore 118 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 5: illegal orders. Those Democrats say they were simply restating the law, 119 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 5: and the situation may be different from Mark Kelly, the 120 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 5: Arizona Democrat who, as a retired Navy captain who retired 121 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 5: after his wife, Gabby Gifferts, was shot in twenty eleven. 122 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 5: He who collects benefits, still subject to military law and 123 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 5: could see a reduction in rank, of reduction in his 124 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 5: retirement benefit, perhaps even a court martial. He told Jimmy 125 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 5: Kim Alive last night that the President is infringing on 126 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 5: the First Amendment rights of these members of Congress, never 127 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 5: mind the speech or debate clause, which is a unique 128 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 5: situation for members of Congress. You have the ideal that 129 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 5: the FBI is now seeking to open an investigation into 130 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 5: these Democrats for what they said in a political video 131 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: is very interesting. You know, a lot of legal experts 132 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 5: we've spoken with say that it would be extremely difficult, 133 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 5: if not impossible, for the government to make a case 134 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 5: that these members of Congress violated the law. Because while 135 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 5: there's a statute that dates back to nineteen forty called 136 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 5: the Smith Act that was passed out of fear of 137 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 5: serversive activities the spread of communism. It says that you 138 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 5: cannot try to advocate for a member of the military 139 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 5: to commit an active insubordination or mutiny. That's what the 140 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 5: law says. But in nineteen sixty nine, the Supreme Court ruled, 141 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 5: in a landmark case interpreting the First Amendment, no matter 142 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 5: what the law says about speech, you can't prosecute it 143 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 5: unless that speech is likely to cause an imminent act 144 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 5: of lawlessness by somebody else. And that imminence is important, 145 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 5: and the likelihood is also important. And one element of 146 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 5: that would be, you know, can you point to an 147 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 5: example of someone actually taking that advice of your advocacy 148 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 5: and then carrying out the act which you advised? And 149 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 5: these democrats say they can't even name an illegal act 150 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 5: that these members of the military have been ordered to undertake. 151 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 5: Never mind this idea that you know, what they really 152 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 5: meant was that those in the chain of command should 153 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 5: ignore legal orders, which is the argument the administration is 154 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 5: making yesterday, Defense Secretary of Access of the video contained 155 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 5: vague rhetoric which undermines trust, creates hesitation in the chain 156 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 5: of command in e Road's cohesion. Well, that's his argument, 157 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 5: But how that translates into a prosecutable case that can 158 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 5: withstand First Amendment scrutiny? Never mind the unique nature of 159 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 5: the protections that legislators enjoy under the speech or debate Clause. 160 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 5: Protections against prosecution from the executive branch for what they 161 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 5: do as members of Congress. Well, I don't know, but 162 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 5: that's the latest. These members have been asked to sit 163 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 5: for interviews with the FBI. I don't know that they're 164 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 5: going to do it. 165 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you, do they have to? 166 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 5: Does anybody have to do? Isn't that what the First 167 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 5: Amendment says? You don't have to? No, you don't have to. 168 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: If I was them, I would pass. 169 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 5: Sure as anyone who is advised by a lawyer, you know.

Yeah. 545 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 11: The thing is, it's not just about the classic Thanksgiving 546 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 11: turkey anymore. There are all these chefs from all these 547 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 11: different places. They come from various cultural backgrounds, and they're 548 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 11: also trying to differentiate themselves in their restaurants. 549 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 3: So this year we're seeing. 550 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 11: Restaurateurs turkey dishes that speak to their roots, things like, 551 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 11: you know, if they're Chinese or of Chinese heritage, Peking turkey, 552 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 11: also jerk turkey if you're from the Islands, and tendoris 553 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 11: icy from India. Yeah, and Korean turkey too, you know, 554 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 11: which is great. Was really spicy Korean turkey and then 555 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 11: all those amazing little dishes on the side. But apparently 556 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 11: adapting turkey to other countries cuisines is pushing chefs to 557 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 11: new extremes. According to the Wall Street Channel, they're doing 558 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 11: things like deboning the bird, hopefully they do that, you know, 559 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 11: before they cook it, giving it a deep tissue massage. 560 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 3: Again, hopefully they do that before they cook it. 561 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 11: And they're also doing some really yummy things like stuffing 562 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 11: a whole pineapple inside. 563 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 3: That sounds really good. 564 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 11: Apparently it's a lot of trial and error, though some 565 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,959 Speaker 11: of the experimenting doesn't go very well. So if you're 566 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 11: thinking of doing this, maybe you want to try it 567 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 11: today in a trial run and then do something exotic, 568 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 11: you know again. 569 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, experiment ahead of the game on the big day, 570 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: because it could turn out bad. 571 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 3: Okay, but it does all sound good. 572 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 11: I mean, if anybody wants me to, you know, be 573 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 11: the guinea pig or the taste tester, I'm always happy 574 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 11: to do that. 575 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 3: Oh, that's so nice of you, Denise. 576 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about holiday shopping. 577 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: Because it's about to get real. 578 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, and you were talking earlier about that Deloitte report 579 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 11: saying sixty four percent of shopperas planned to buy on 580 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 11: sale necessities. You got me thinking, So I went to 581 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 11: look at some of the things that people said they 582 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 11: bought in October during Amazon Prime Week. 583 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 3: Okay, here's the list. 584 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 11: Dog food that is not a holiday's missed, h dish 585 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 11: soap and you know it's usually blue, right, it's not 586 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 11: even green, dishwashing rinse, aid all right, And then some 587 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 11: said things like Bobby Brown mescara that's not a gift either, 588 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 11: or Kula sunscreened. Oh yeah, you're amy, here's your Kula 589 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 11: sunscreened for the holidays. 590 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 3: We actually need that here in southern California. 591 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 11: You do, and I'm envious, and so you know, you know, 592 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 11: I admit maybe my comments driven a little bit by 593 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 11: a little bit of jealousy, but even so, like sunscreen 594 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 11: for a gift, I mean yeah. 595 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 3: And if you can't find. 596 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 11: Black Friday deals though that you think are good enough, 597 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 11: just wait. Because retailers they are holding back on the bargains. 598 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 11: They're dealing with higher costs because of tariffs, right, So 599 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 11: higher input costs means they can't pass on those nice 600 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 11: little prices that they'd like to to get us to shop. 601 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 11: But if the discounts aren't big enough, we're not going 602 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 11: to shop. That means we could see even way, way 603 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 11: way bigger discounts, say me next month. 604 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: So oh, Black Friday, isn't the end all be all 605 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: this year?

I've got a couple of 652 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: great recommendations that are coming up in the weeks to come. 653 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: But since I'm all about Wicked this week, you know, 654 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: the new movies out, it's going to be interesting to 655 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: see how much money it makes in its second week, 656 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: especially because it's a long holiday weekend. One hundred and 657 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: fifty million dollars at the box office last year last weekend, 658 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. And I love the Wicked movies. I love 659 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: the Wicked stage show. It's amazing. So I was like, 660 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: how did that all come about? And we were talking 661 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: in the hallways about was Wicked first? Or was the 662 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,239 Speaker 1: musical first? Or was the book first? And that kind 663 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: of stuff, So I thought, I bet there's somebody who's 664 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: you know, got this and has created something to tell 665 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: us all about it, and by golly, they have. It's 666 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: called Wicked. It's the Real Story documentary. It's on Peacock 667 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: and it starts with kind of the short story of L. 668 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: Frank Baum's life, what led up to him writing The 669 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: Wonderful Wizard of Oz. And he did it more than 670 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 1: one hundred years ago, is in eighteen ninety nine, crazy right, Okay. 671 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: So then it moves forward and talks a little bit 672 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: about making The Wizard of Oz, which was then released 673 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty nine, so forty years later, and then 674 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: how Gregory maguire came up with the story of Wicked, 675 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: so paying homage to the Wizard of Oz, but then 676 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: taking a new look at it. And the book Wicked 677 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: is actually kind of dark, but it's it's the Wicked 678 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: Witch's story, and we find out that her name is Alphabet, 679 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: which we don't know in The Wizard of Oz. He 680 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: I thought it was really interesting. He talks about the 681 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: first scene in the movie. They're the first scene when 682 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: Dorothy arrives in Oz, and you know, when the house 683 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: comes crashing down on the Wicked Witch of the East 684 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: and the Wicked Witch of the West says to Glinda, 685 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: I should. 686 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 3: Have known you'd be behind this. And he thought to himself, 687 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 3: and he said, a light bulb went off. He goes, oh, 688 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 3: my gosh, they know each other. 689 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: And that's sort of sparked the whole thought process of 690 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: the story of Glinda and Alphaba. And it was just 691 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: I love like you when you find spark moments, you know, 692 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: what's the inspiration there. And so then he makes a 693 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: timeline of the Wizard of Oz movie, and he makes 694 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,720 Speaker 1: another timeline for the book Wicked, which he's now written, 695 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: and then he tells the stories that go in the 696 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 1: spaces between what was featured in The Wizard of Oz. 697 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: So it's more backstory stuff, which I love that kind 698 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: of stuff. Apparently Hollywood wanted to make a movie out 699 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: of it right away, but they worked on it for 700 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: like three or four years and they couldn't come up 701 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: with a script for it. And then Stephen Schwartz, the composer, 702 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: read the book and he thought, oh, this should be 703 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 1: a musical, and so he got an audience with Gregory 704 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: McGuire and said, Gregory McGuire, you should make a musical 705 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: out of this, and he's like, what, this is going 706 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,720 Speaker 1: to be a serious movie, and he shares the idea 707 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: for the first song in the movie, No One Mourns 708 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,439 Speaker 1: the Wicked, which just happens to be my earworm. And 709 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: that's when Gregor MacGuire said, you're right, it should be 710 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 1: a musical. 711 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 3: And then they made it into the. 712 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: Stage show and that's just like just a little bit 713 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: about what the story is all about. So it's so 714 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: interesting to see it unfold and then the how it 715 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: changes from the stage show and then it goes to 716 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: the movie theaters and now you know, one hundred and 717 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 1: twenty five years later, it's like the biggest blockbuster of 718 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,800 Speaker 1: the year. Practically. It's in the documentary. They say, behind 719 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: every story is another waiting to be told, and Wicked 720 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: the real story tells it very well. 721 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 3: I'm on it. 722 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: I think you should be too. It's Wicked the real Story. 723 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 1: The documentary about the making of the movie, and it's 724 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: on Peacock. Actually it's more about the inspiration behind the 725 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: writing of the book and then the making of the movie. 726 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: Super interesting. Okay, so I told you about the earworm 727 00:36:50,800 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: thing that I've had for a week now, right, which 728 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: is still an earworm. I thought I would get rid 729 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: of it. It's still there. But the good news is 730 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: I love the song. So I'm telling Elmer, who's the boardop. 731 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: After Kono's done, he takes over and works with Gary 732 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: and Shannon, and I was like, oh, yeah, we were 733 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: talking about my earworm today and how to get rid 734 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: of it. And Elmer's given me this weird look, like 735 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,399 Speaker 1: his face is all crunched up, like oh, like kind 736 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: of like he's grossed out just a little bit. 737 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 3: And then I go, do you know what an earworm is? 738 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 3: He goes, oh, it's a song. 739 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: He thought it was like literally a worm that I 740 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: was getting out of my ear and. 741 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 3: So he was like, oh grossed out. 742 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: He goes, wow, you were being really candid about your earworm. 743 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 1: I was like, dude, it's a song.
