Speaker 2: Arctic blast. See to us in southern California, and Arctic
Speaker 2: blast is what you get at seven eleven when they

Speaker 2: what oh do we have three hours to go? Well
Speaker 2: you okay, well we'll try to fill room and uh
Speaker 2: it is that's true. Gotta remember Romper Room. I actually
Speaker 2: used to watch Romper Room.
Speaker 3: Were you ever on?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: But do you remember Bozo the clown, Boso the clown.
Speaker 2: There were national it was national show, but it was
Speaker 2: all local. Every town had a local Bozo. And I
Speaker 2: was scheduled to be on Boso with uh my little
Speaker 2: cat Sunset, So I had Sunset. It was really small
Speaker 2: cat and uh then I had a little dog at
Speaker 2: the same time. And then we would we would put
Speaker 2: Sunset on top of Taffy the dog, and Taffy would
Speaker 2: run around and Sunset would stay on top of the dog.
Speaker 2: And that was my cute pet thing because they would
Speaker 2: every week they would have an animal Day sort of,
Speaker 2: people bring their pets to do strange things. So I
Speaker 2: was scheduled to go to Bozo the Clown with my pets,
Speaker 2: and a week before Sunset died on me. It just
Speaker 2: plopped over dead. Now today, I mean I was devastated. Today.
Speaker 2: I would take that dead cat, probably stuff it and
Speaker 2: just put it on top of Taffy and let it
Speaker 2: run around.
Speaker 4: So much.
Speaker 2: You can't do that when you're six or seven years old.
Speaker 2: I should have thought of that, but that was way
Speaker 2: before life started happening. What Neil.
Speaker 5: So much of who you are is explained in that
Speaker 5: two minute story.
Speaker 4: So much.
Speaker 5: Bose, Yeah, the clown, Yeah, that animal, Yeah, Sat You can't.
Speaker 2: And the problem is with a little with cats, right,
Speaker 2: you know, unlike you know, Goldfish said that you can
Speaker 2: flesh down the toilet, you can't do it with cats.
Speaker 2: You can't you know, cut them up enough. You know,
Speaker 2: the pieces are just too big. Okay, any cat lovers
Speaker 2: out there, good morning, Okay, we're starting, Oh, Amy, is
Speaker 2: a cat lover. Of course you a cat person. I've
Speaker 2: never understood cats. I don't I just don't get cats.
Speaker 2: But then you're a cat person or you're a dog person,
Speaker 2: and rarely are you both unless you have a little
Speaker 2: sunset who runs around on top of taffy who then
Speaker 2: dies on you. All right, you guys, ready to do it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: I one a quick reminder Wednesday, we have a very
Speaker 2: special guest. Remember I've been telling you about a Dawn
Speaker 2: who was arrested by Ice and he was a photographer
Speaker 2: my daughter's wedding, and he was also a photographer at
Speaker 2: the party that we had, the blowout party post wedding,
Speaker 2: And the story is just an incredible how he was
Speaker 2: picked up and how he's illegal. But he's the worst
Speaker 2: of the worst. Right came the United States when he
Speaker 2: was thirteen years old. His mother and him fled because
Speaker 2: the MS thirteen had killed her sister, his aunt and
Speaker 2: left her on the front porch with her tongue cut out,
Speaker 2: and so they just got out immediately. So he'd been
Speaker 2: here for thirteen since thirteen years of age, he's twenty seven.
Speaker 2: And they picked him up at the airport when he
Speaker 2: was getting on a flight and he's been deported. We're
Speaker 2: going to have Jeannett, who is who is Lindsay's friend,
Speaker 2: and a Don is her son in law, and she's
Speaker 2: going to join us on Wednesday in studio. So that's
Speaker 2: all I can think of. It's the worst of the worst.
Speaker 2: He's the worst of the worst. That's all that comes
Speaker 2: to mind when held that when I do that story.
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a personal story someone who
Speaker 2: is in my life, and I just wanted to share
Speaker 2: that with you come Wednesday. All right, that's it for
Speaker 2: all of that. You guys ready to do it? It is time.
Speaker 2: It is time for handle on the news on this Monday,
Speaker 2: November tenth, with Amy Neil and me lead story. Get
Speaker 2: up well enough. Senate Democrats caved and it looks like
Speaker 2: that the government shutdown is basically over. Last night, the
Speaker 2: Senate voted sixty to forty in enting the longest US
Speaker 2: government shutdown in history. Day forty of the shutdown, the
Speaker 2: Senate voted to advance this a deal and it has
Speaker 2: to go forward. There's some procedural stuff to reopen the government.
Speaker 2: Eight Senate Democrats moved over, and it was just a
Speaker 2: question of playing chicken. Republicans are saying that we want
Speaker 2: to fund the government and you can go and we're
Speaker 2: not going to pass any legislation to expand the healthcare,
Speaker 2: the expansion of the healthcare that happened during COVID for
Speaker 2: the Obamacare, and the Republicans said, nope, we just want
Speaker 2: to extend the government. And so they were playing chicken,
Speaker 2: and they have agreed to reopen the government, and the
Speaker 2: Republican said, we will, we will open. Let's open the
Speaker 2: government and then we will talk about the healthcare extension.
Speaker 6: And we talked as Steven Portnoy with ABC a minute ago,
Speaker 6: and he said, the Democrats are furious.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the rest of the Democrats are absolutely curious
Speaker 2: because this was for them, this was the poster child
Speaker 2: of social I won't say social engineering, but their social programs.
Speaker 2: Because you've got twenty something million people that are going
Speaker 2: to either have their premium skyrocket or they won't be
Speaker 2: able to afford insurance at all anymore. And so it's yeah,
Speaker 2: I tell you, it's going to be really interesting. I
Speaker 2: wonder what's going to happen in the midterms, because I
Speaker 2: think that this is going to hit home less the
Speaker 2: Republican's cave. This is the Democrats caving this time around,
Speaker 2: unless the Republicans cave on the expansion of Medicaid and
Speaker 2: the Obamacare allowing and the expansion ended ends December thirty one.
Speaker 2: It was temporary. Keep in mind, this was temporary.
Speaker 6: It's not an expansion. It's an extension, an extension. It
Speaker 6: was Obamacare subsidies that were putting place for COVID nineteen.
Speaker 2: Right, it was an expansion. And this has to do
Speaker 2: with the extension. That's correct, to make it very clear.
Speaker 2: And the expansion ended or ends December thirty one. And
Speaker 2: what the Democrats want is to make this temporary expansion permanent,
Speaker 2: and the Republicans are saying nope. And so we'll see
Speaker 2: what happens in the midterms. How many people actually lose
Speaker 2: their insurance or if the Republicans make some kind of
Speaker 2: a deal where there's compromise, we don't know. But in
Speaker 2: the meantime, it looks like the stoppage is over and
Speaker 2: had a lot do with the air traffic controllers. They
Speaker 2: were getting all of the press. Also, the food stamps
Speaker 2: issue got to be a little bit of oppress too.
Speaker 2: The other thing I think is going to hurt the
Speaker 2: Republicans is that a federal judge had ordered that all
Speaker 2: SNAP payments be made, and the Trump administration fought it
Speaker 2: said no, nope, we're stopping the SNAP. I think that
Speaker 2: may hurt politically. So, you know, this is so much
Speaker 2: in the air. Okay, but moving on, we'll be talking
Speaker 2: more about that at seven o'clock.
Speaker 6: Well, we are going to talk about the SNAP because
Speaker 6: it's really kind of up in the air again. The
Speaker 6: Trump administration told the states to stop issuing full SNAP benefits.
Speaker 3: Then a judge said, no, do that.
Speaker 6: The Supreme Court said, hold on, don't do anything until
Speaker 6: it plays out in court. Another federal appeals court just
Speaker 6: ruled yesterday, Uh yeah, pay the benefits. And then Trump's
Speaker 6: administration is appealing again. Well, it's all kind of in limbo.
Speaker 2: It is. It is. The argument is going to be
Speaker 2: among Democrats. You know, look at the Republican Party and
Speaker 2: look what Trump has done. He doesn't want you to
Speaker 2: eat It's uh, that's a pretty that's a pretty hefty argument,
Speaker 2: it is. I mean, it's obviously a lot more complicated
Speaker 2: than that. But not in the world of politics. There
Speaker 2: are just sound bites, that's all.
Speaker 6: There are.
Speaker 2: When you'll see midterm elections coming up. No idea, what's
Speaker 2: going to happen with this. It's just it's way up
Speaker 2: in the air. Amy, You're right. I mean we're in
Speaker 2: limbo to say the least.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: There's some crazy stuff that's being sold at your local
Speaker 5: convenience stores and LA County is cracking down on it.
Speaker 5: We've talked about crodam and seven to zero before. The
Speaker 5: Health Agency is now squeezing these things out. These crodam
Speaker 5: is like this herbal extract we've talked about many times
Speaker 5: on the show that comes from a tree native to
Speaker 5: Southeast Asia, and then there's this seven zero products. Many
Speaker 5: of them are marketed as plant alkaloids, and people are
Speaker 5: very concerned because the labels are misleading, confusing customers to
Speaker 5: think that these are just some sort of you know,
Speaker 5: natural you know, additive that you can use or a supplement.
Speaker 2: And yeah, but so is hemlock dangerous for you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Arsenic is uh? Also natural? Hemlock is natural? Yeah, but
Speaker 2: hemlock is my favorite. It's hemlock. Yes, I don't know, yeah,
Speaker 2: hemlock anymore?
Speaker 5: Good on LA County and this Health agency cracking down
Speaker 5: on that. It'll be illegal to sell them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they should seven O eights. I'll tell you
Speaker 2: it doesn't work. I mean I've tried it for you know,
Speaker 2: those kinds of problems, and it simply does not know
Speaker 2: what it's for. Bub Yeah, I am desperate sometimes just
Speaker 2: reach in desperation. Okay, We're give CPR to an ant buddy. Okay,
Speaker 2: we're done, Thank you so much.
Speaker 6: Missing nine year old's mom has been arrested, but it
Speaker 6: has nothing to do with the missing nine year old.
Speaker 6: The mother of Melody Buzzard, who vanished during a road
Speaker 6: trip last month, was arrested on Friday on a charge
Speaker 6: unrelated to the disappearance of the little girl. Ashley Buzzard,
Speaker 6: who's forty, is accused of holding a person against their
Speaker 6: will and was taken into custody on suspicion of false
Speaker 6: imprisonment the Sheriff's office as detectives learned of a recent
Speaker 6: incident where Ashley prevented someone from leaving a location against
Speaker 6: their will that constitutes false imprisonment. This crime, says the
Speaker 6: Sheriff's Office, is not connected to the ongoing search for Melody,
Speaker 6: and then they wouldn't give any more details because they
Speaker 6: said if they did that might give away some stuff
Speaker 6: related to Melodie's melodies.
Speaker 2: Hell, she is not cooperating. She is up to her
Speaker 2: eyeballs in this. I mean everybody knows at this point
Speaker 2: when you have a parent and a child does disappear
Speaker 2: and you refuse to help authorities. So basically she's just
Speaker 2: shutting up saying I refuse to talk. What does that
Speaker 2: tell you?
Speaker 4: But the whole thing just gets weirder and weirder it.
Speaker 2: Does, does that poor little girl too? I mean absolutely,
Speaker 2: his story is really strange, and I don't think it's
Speaker 2: gonna I don't think this story is going to end
Speaker 2: well at all.
Speaker 5: Okay, surprise Price, Yeah, I think you called this some
Speaker 5: time ago.
Speaker 4: Trump pardons Guliani.
Speaker 5: There was others, of course, that were involved in the
Speaker 5: effort to overturn the twenty twenty election. You know, we
Speaker 5: remember Giuliani is a true blue or red in this case,
Speaker 5: believer when it comes to Trump. So Trump has granted
Speaker 5: a preemptive pardon to him and others that have been
Speaker 5: accused of trying to turn over the results of the
Speaker 5: twenty twenty elect and look.
Speaker 2: Where they are. Okay, it's Juliani, who we know who
Speaker 2: still has to this day has drunk the kool aid,
Speaker 2: even though he's gone bankrupt and lost everything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you have John Eastman.
Speaker 2: John Eastman is an attorney who was at Chapman and
Speaker 2: consider a pretty high end constitutional scholar. Conservative though he
Speaker 2: is he's the one that created the theory that if
Speaker 2: Mike Pence does not read the votes the Electoral College
Speaker 2: and refused to certify, then Trump stays president. It's a
Speaker 2: complete Kaka Mamy theory. That one of the things that
Speaker 2: Trump relied on. And then Sidney Powell, an attorney, These
Speaker 2: people were at the front.
Speaker 4: He was also abundant.
Speaker 5: That really was kind of the face of this thing.
Speaker 5: But you know everybody always says you're no constitutional lawyer,
Speaker 5: Well that guy he was.
Speaker 2: He taught constitutional law just weird, I mean, just so straight.
Speaker 2: And then Sidney Powell was just a nutcase and accusing
Speaker 2: everybody of everybody in anything that didn't back up Trump
Speaker 2: of being part of the cover up. Anyway, they've all
Speaker 2: been pardoned, but it doesn't really matter. The Department Justice
Speaker 2: is going to do anything, so it's more of a
Speaker 2: symbolic pardon.
Speaker 6: Eleven years later, Israel has received the remains of an
Speaker 6: Israeli soldier killed in Gaza. The forensic testing has been
Speaker 6: done on the remains, and the Israelis have confirmed it
Speaker 6: is twenty three year old Lieutenant Hedar Golden, who was
Speaker 6: killed August first, twenty fourteen, two hours after a ceasefire
Speaker 6: ended that year's war between Israel and Hamas. His body
Speaker 6: apparently was found in a tunnel in Rafa on Saturday,
Speaker 6: and maybe it was found while they were searching for
Speaker 6: the hostages bodies that still haven't been returned. There are
Speaker 6: apparently four left of the twenty eight who have yet
Speaker 6: to be returned.
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly Kamas took his body into the tunnel.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't just automatic appear in a tunnel.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And so this is uh a tunnel for eleven years,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't.
Speaker 2: You know, we're not going to hear the We're not
Speaker 2: going to hear these stories and and and when we
Speaker 2: talk about remains being brought back, no one is talking
Speaker 2: about the condition of the remains or how much yeah
Speaker 2: were they they were they decomposed? Uh? Do you need
Speaker 2: DNA evidence just to even begin to ascertain who that
Speaker 2: person is? And we really don't know, but comas at
Speaker 2: this point is scrambling and saying, we're trying to do
Speaker 2: everything to find these bodies, and we're we need heavy equipment.
Speaker 2: And because I think Kamas is looking at a net,
Speaker 2: Yahoo government wants any excuse to go in and finish out,
Speaker 2: finish up destroying gozap.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 5: As you heard Handle mentioned earlier top of the show,
Speaker 5: Chicago and parts of the UH East coast seeing historic
Speaker 5: double digit snow. They have what they call an Arctic
Speaker 5: blast going across much of the US right now, So
Speaker 5: temperature is going to plunge, strong cold front making its
Speaker 5: way through much of the country.
Speaker 2: So when you said double digit snow, I immediately thought
Speaker 2: of snowy snow. No, that didn't work, snowice, snow. That
Speaker 2: was double digit snow. In the meantime, this is and
Speaker 2: well I'll talk more about this a little bit later on,
Speaker 2: but it's a band, just a very small band of
Speaker 2: this that's going through and I'm assuming then that right
Speaker 2: next to it, you're not going to have these problems.
Speaker 2: And I don't know how narrow a narrow band is.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but it seems they said this is
Speaker 5: going to be the biggest November snowfall ever recorded in
Speaker 5: the city or the one prior was twelve inches all
Speaker 5: the way back to eighteen ninety five.
Speaker 6: Not only the ABC people, but the BBC people who
Speaker 6: have suffered repercussions of messing with Donald Trump. The head
Speaker 6: of the BBC and the British broadcaster's top news executive
Speaker 6: both resigned yesterday after criticism criticism of the way that
Speaker 6: the BBC edited a speech by President Trump courses dates
Speaker 6: all the way back to January sixth, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 6: before protesters attacked the capital. Critics said that the way
Speaker 6: the speech was edited for a BBC documentary last year
Speaker 6: was misleading and cut out the section where Trump said
Speaker 6: he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty important, don't you think. I mean not
Speaker 2: that his speech and his call to go ahead and
Speaker 2: not overrun the capital, he never asked for that. He
Speaker 2: goes just go and show them what they're doing. I mean,
Speaker 2: he could never was the cues that he was doing
Speaker 2: all kinds of criminal activity He wasn't. It was the
Speaker 2: cues he was going. He told them to overrun the
Speaker 2: capital and commit crimes. He didn't. But what the BBC
Speaker 2: did do, according to this story is leave out the
Speaker 2: statement I know that everyone here will be soon marching
Speaker 2: over to the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make
Speaker 2: your voices heard. If you leave that out, then you
Speaker 2: can look at this and argue that he has called
Speaker 2: for violence. He wanted a violent reaction to, in this case,
Speaker 2: the certification of Joe Biden as president. And that is
Speaker 2: a big one. I mean, that is not a This
Speaker 2: is not Kamala you know, CBS editing Kamala Harris to
Speaker 2: make her look good and leaving out stuff that made
Speaker 2: her look bad. I mean, that's biased in and of itself,
Speaker 2: but that is not fundamental. This is fundamental, and I
Speaker 2: have no problem with the head of BBC and the
Speaker 2: news executive resigning.
Speaker 4: Weather News.
Speaker 5: You have at least eight people dead, displacing more than
Speaker 5: one point four million in the Philippines with typhoon Fung Wong.
Speaker 5: It blew out of the north western Philippines this morning
Speaker 5: and setting off all kinds of landslides, floods. It knocked
Speaker 5: out power to entire providences there, and so a lot
Speaker 5: going on there with that, and we're keeping an eye
Speaker 5: on it.
Speaker 2: But do you remember that Asiana airplane crash that happened
Speaker 2: in San Francisco with the newscaster Amy will remember this
Speaker 2: where she was given all the wrong information something long, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and then this one and what the fuk?
Speaker 4: And what do I have to do with this?
Speaker 2: Because this is what one of the pilots said, according
Speaker 2: to what the fun is wong? That's where they got
Speaker 2: the name.
Speaker 4: Always looking for an angle, aren't you always?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know it was a sigh on this one.
Speaker 2: So that's two bad ones this morning.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mentioned eight people died, uh, displacement of more
Speaker 5: than one point four million?
Speaker 2: Maybe, I see, No, that's my point. What the fun
Speaker 2: is wrong here? Exactly? All right?
Speaker 6: Moving on some really sad news for Alex Vessia. The
Speaker 6: La Dodgers, as you recall, may Or, as you may recall,
Speaker 6: did not have one of their relievers participate in the
Speaker 6: World Series, and it was because of what the team
Speaker 6: said at the time was a deeply personal family matter.
Speaker 6: We knew that Alex and his wife were pregnant Kayla,
Speaker 6: and they find they released that their beautiful daughter went
Speaker 6: to heaven on Sunday, October twenty sixth.
Speaker 2: That is a heartbreaker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so very sad. And you know, one of the
Speaker 3: cool things.
Speaker 6: Dodgers relievers wore Vessia's number fifty one on their caps
Speaker 6: during the game, and then Blue Jays relievers joined them
Speaker 6: in that tribute for Game six. And they've also raised
Speaker 6: a bunch of money. I'm sorry, Canadians have raised a
Speaker 6: bunch of money to donate because so I have.
Speaker 2: A question asked when the team released the news that
Speaker 2: he was not pitching, and it was a deeply personal
Speaker 2: family matter at that point, did they know that his
Speaker 2: daughter had already passed away.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't believe she had if you look at
Speaker 6: the timeline, because his wife was pregnant and I think
Speaker 6: she had the baby and it didn't make it.
Speaker 2: Got it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Cleveland Guardians Emmanuel Class Lewis Ortiz indicted for pitch
Speaker 5: riggy the MLB games.
Speaker 4: Now you know Pete Rose.
Speaker 5: We've talked about Pete Rose in the past and all
Speaker 5: of that, but this is like, this isn't just betting,
Speaker 5: This is throwing games.
Speaker 4: This is telling.
Speaker 5: Giving a heads up at the type of pitch you're
Speaker 5: gonna you're gonna be throwing. And I mean this is
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the worst case that. Yeah it,
Speaker 5: Paul and maybe kno knows differently.
Speaker 2: But even Pete Rose, I mean, he was nailed for
Speaker 2: gambling on baseball, but never on his own team, on
Speaker 2: never any game that he was involved with, and he
Speaker 2: was still thrown out out of baseball. Lifetime ban on baseball,
Speaker 2: and he's still this egregious. It is, it's hugely egregious.
Speaker 2: So are you do you think of looking at a
Speaker 2: lifetime ban cono, I mean, how can they not?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think so.
Speaker 7: And it was just like you said, it was very
Speaker 7: blatant the way that he actually threw pitches. It would
Speaker 7: be like the second pitch of the second inning is
Speaker 7: going to be a ball, and then the pitch that
Speaker 7: he threw is and didn't even make it halfway to
Speaker 7: the plate, Like it was so intentional that you could
Speaker 7: tell it was very bad.
Speaker 6: Wow, speaking of a lifetime, it may take you a
Speaker 6: lifetime to pay off your mortgage. The Trump administration is
Speaker 6: considering a fifty year mortgage as opposed to the traditional
Speaker 6: thirty year term. They're calling it a potential game changer
Speaker 6: for the housing market market.
Speaker 2: Maybe right too, well.
Speaker 3: Because it's sure bring your price your cost it does.
Speaker 2: It brings your cost down, it does, and it reduces
Speaker 2: your monthly payment. And on the other side, it's a
Speaker 2: fifty year mortgage instead of a thirty But how many
Speaker 2: people actually pay attention to thirty year mortgages. That's sort
Speaker 2: of a given. You don't actually think it's going to
Speaker 2: take you thirty years to pay off a mortgage, because
Speaker 2: no one holds onto their house for thirty years. We refine,
Speaker 2: we sell our homes.
Speaker 5: So fifty six, I'm going to go out and get
Speaker 5: myself a fifteen year mortgage.
Speaker 3: Well, who has to pay for it when you die?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 4: Max?
Speaker 2: Well, now I know the house either true, if Max
Speaker 2: wants to keep the house, maxal Key and his kids, Max,
Speaker 2: you just keep pay for it down, that's all you
Speaker 2: can That's all you can do. Or you pay it
Speaker 2: off because the principal stays very, very high because interest rates.
Speaker 2: Interest is always front loaded. But it's a very clever idea,
Speaker 2: you know. And there's and this is not the first
Speaker 2: time there's been a call for a fifty year mortgage.
Speaker 2: Does this make homes more affordable? Yeah, it does because
Speaker 2: the payments are lowered.
Speaker 5: But where's the problem with affordability? Is it across America
Speaker 5: or is it on the coasts? It is more on
Speaker 5: the coast than it is I mean across America. York
Speaker 5: and California, that's the big one. Sorry, California still is
Speaker 5: half mountains. You know that you can't build in and but.
Speaker 2: You still have. But when you go to you know, Tennessee,
Speaker 2: when you go to Arkansas, you go to Appalachia, you
Speaker 2: go to the Great North, you know, the houses are
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars, four hundred thousand dollars for a
Speaker 2: very very nice place that would cost you one point
Speaker 2: five million here.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I get it.
Speaker 5: We've got issues on the coast, but not all across America.
Speaker 2: Well we do. I mean, prices have gone up, but
Speaker 2: it makes it infinitely more affordable.
Speaker 5: You ever do that, you look through the zello or
Speaker 5: certain thing, looking at these gorgeous Southern houses and their life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's crazy with five acres, it's just yeah,
Speaker 2: it's incredible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you only have two acres.
Speaker 2: No. Actually, when I moved to Orange County, uh the
Speaker 2: uh the house that I bought. Uh, if I had
Speaker 2: bought the same house in the valley or anywhere in
Speaker 2: the LA area, I was living in the valley or
Speaker 2: burbank or the West Side or any any part of
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. That's that's even that sort of a medium
Speaker 2: plus area would be thirty percent more, thirty percent more
Speaker 2: than what I paid for the same.
Speaker 4: House, pless La.
Speaker 2: All right, back we go and we finish handle on
Speaker 2: the news on this Monday morning with Amy Neil and Me.
Speaker 2: Is that minimmy Neil and Me? I think it is.
Speaker 2: I think it's Neil's turn.
Speaker 4: No, did we do? We did?
Speaker 2: We did it? Okay, okay, okay, all right, So Neil
Speaker 2: is now going to do the story of the u
Speaker 2: S almost striking. Many introduced to you Neledra.
Speaker 5: Twenty one thousand employees could have gone on strike, but
Speaker 5: you see, reaches contract agreement and that is good news.
Speaker 5: The University of California, the union there, as I said,
Speaker 5: with the healthcare department is twenty one thousand people, You
Speaker 5: got research, you got technical professionals across the UC system.
Speaker 5: Avoided this strike by reaching a contract agreement. And so
Speaker 5: this was announced on Saturday. So that's good news.
Speaker 2: It is good news.
Speaker 4: Strike.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they they handled it pretty well. First of all,
Speaker 2: them been negotiating for seventeen months and then they couldn't
Speaker 2: come to terms. So the union went to the mediator
Speaker 2: that had been in mediation for three weeks and couldn't
Speaker 2: come to it. And the union went to the mediator
Speaker 2: and said, come on, let's really sit down and talk.
Speaker 2: And U S said, yes, University of California. Good for
Speaker 2: everybody there on that one don't.
Speaker 6: Want to deal with potty training and chewed up shoes.
Speaker 6: Have we got a deal for you? Actually, it's Pasadena Humane.
Speaker 6: They're celebrating National Adopted Senior Pet Month waiving all adoption
Speaker 6: fees for older animals. Older animals are dogs and cats
Speaker 6: five and older. And we talked to Kevin McManus about
Speaker 6: this last week. He said they even have an older tortoise.
Speaker 6: It's up for adoption. The CEO of Pasadena Human says
Speaker 6: senior pets tend to be calmer, often are house trained
Speaker 6: and ready to settle in right away.
Speaker 3: They may be older, but they have just as much
Speaker 3: love to give.
Speaker 2: And it used to be that these animals were put
Speaker 2: down because no one used used to adopt older animals.
Speaker 2: And now there's this thing about adopting older animals so
Speaker 2: they can end their lives and comfort and it's it's
Speaker 2: a great idea. I used to take a walk where
Speaker 2: I lived in where I was renting a previous house
Speaker 2: before I moved here, and there was a guy who
Speaker 2: had this fairly old terrier who was blind and just
Speaker 2: the sweetest dog in the world. And he was like
Speaker 2: twelve or thirteen, and he had adopted him a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago. And it's really a neat story.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, your wife, your knew wife, Lindsay takes in
Speaker 5: old animals and okay.
Speaker 2: Okay for this, all right, this is the first time
Speaker 2: we have not taken a sheltered dog in in my life. Oh,
Speaker 2: I wasn't talking about the dog. Oh, I see, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I misunderstood. Yes, yes, no, I believe me. You didn't
Speaker 2: have to say that. As soon as he said I
Speaker 2: wasn't talking about the dogs, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people have come up to
Speaker 2: me and literally said, how do you take this from Neil?
Speaker 2: He shows no respect for you at all? And I go,
Speaker 2: that's correct, he shows no respect for me for all
Speaker 2: any other questions.
Speaker 5: We're like, you and I have known each other for
Speaker 5: thirty years. Yeah, trust me. You on the promo you
Speaker 5: said I have boobs, give it back and forth. It's
Speaker 5: not a one We'll give that a one way street.
Speaker 2: Hey, that is correct, all right? For one more.
Speaker 5: Okay, so Trump wants to be Oprah and you get
Speaker 5: two thousand dollars, and you get two thousand dollars, you'll
Speaker 5: receive this tariff dividend because we're we're we're just.
Speaker 2: Rolling in it.
Speaker 5: And he went to Trump, he went to truth social
Speaker 5: as he often does, and he said that those that
Speaker 5: opposed his tariffs are fools, and that many Americans will
Speaker 5: be receiving at least two thousand dollars a person, and
Speaker 5: then in parentheses, not including high income people.
Speaker 4: And we don't know what high income is.
Speaker 2: Ye, it'll be means tested, which makes sense, by the way.
Speaker 2: This he is right in terms of taking in a
Speaker 2: massive amounts of money on these terrafts which the countries
Speaker 2: don't pay. We pay the manufacturers here, the distributors here,
Speaker 2: the retailers here pay They write the checks to the government,
Speaker 2: write checks to the government, but the government, but China's
Speaker 2: paying for it, even though I've written a check to
Speaker 2: the government. But he said, we'll be paying down our
Speaker 2: enormous debt of thirty seven trillion dollars. We will. We're
Speaker 2: taking in trillions of dollars and hundreds of millions more likely.
Speaker 2: And so if it's used to take down the debt, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a great idea. But I don't think you can
Speaker 2: take down the debt and pay people two thousand dollars ago.
Speaker 2: I don't think the two can exist.
Speaker 4: So where do you think the marker is going to
Speaker 4: be for high income.
Speaker 2: Than fifty hundred and twenty thousand dollars one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty or.
Speaker 3: A household organ not high income?
Speaker 2: Well to the government, thirty thousand dollars, this high income,
Speaker 2: look at your taxes.
Speaker 5: Well, but look across the country that is very high income.
Speaker 5: It's only again the coasts that think that's not a
Speaker 5: high income.
Speaker 2: That's true, but I mean that at some point they
Speaker 2: they don't do and this is what the government doesn't do,
Speaker 2: is they are not geographic specific. That's interesting. Yeah, where
Speaker 2: we'll say the FBI when they transfer an agent, I
Speaker 2: think those are geographic specific. They get X dollars more.
Speaker 2: And so you would think that our tax rate would
Speaker 2: actually be lower on the West and East coast because
Speaker 2: we make so much more money. It's how you do business.
Speaker 2: But anyway, if it's used to pay down the debt,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it. And if it's used for two
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a p I'm okay with that too. But
Speaker 2: it's really important to note that it's not the foreign
Speaker 2: governments that are paying the tariffs. That is just not true.
Speaker 2: It is it's it is we who are paying the tariffs,
Speaker 2: the manufacturers and the distributors here in the country. As
Speaker 2: I said before, the checks are written from us to
Speaker 2: the government of the United States for tariffs.
Speaker 5: And the punishment for the other countries is that we
Speaker 5: will be less likely to buy their goods.
Speaker 4: Is that it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly long term. I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 2: not that Trump wants to screw over the American farmer, manufacture,
Speaker 2: et cetera. It is to make the United States more competitive.
Speaker 2: But just don't tell us that the countries, those other
Speaker 2: countries are paying tariffs, because it's just not true. All Right,
Speaker 2: We're done, guys. KFI AM six forty you've been listening
