Speaker 1: We're all in studio here so I can come trumping in.
Speaker 1: And then of course producer and you know what is that?
Speaker 1: Everybody a producer.
Speaker 3: And you know the name? Oh yeah, but it's how.
Speaker 1: About the producer a producer, not the producer. But you
Speaker 1: ever noticed that when you call a doctor's office. I
Speaker 1: used to do that all the time because I worked
Speaker 1: with doctors in the world of infertility. And uh, I say,
Speaker 1: you know, doctor Schmendrick whatever his name is, and uh,
Speaker 1: doctor is not available. What I mean, doctor is not available.
Speaker 1: It's the doctor. Because no, no doctor is not available. Well,
Speaker 1: would you leave a message saying lawyer is on the phone,
Speaker 1: patient would like to see him?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, all right. Anyway, good morning to one and all.
Speaker 1: Now I want to point something out, and this reason
Speaker 1: Lindsey has joined me today because.
Speaker 5: Oh, before you do that, do you want to start
Speaker 5: with that announcement?
Speaker 3: Uh? Who Nancy?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, because they just broke in.
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi's not dead, right, stop it.
Speaker 6: So she just announced that she's retiring, not running for
Speaker 6: re election. You know, she was elected to the House
Speaker 6: for the first time in nineteen eighty seven. She's been
Speaker 6: there ever since. She's eighty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's retiring from life.
Speaker 5: Oh she's going to go have a life now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she actually is. And you have to give her
Speaker 1: insane amounts of credit. She was probably the most, if
Speaker 1: not among the most effective Speakers of the House that
Speaker 1: ever existed. And Mike Johnson is a waste of time, Nancy.
Speaker 1: He should take lessons and read her book and just say, hey,
Speaker 1: this is the way you run a house.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: So with that, before we get to handle on the news,
Speaker 1: I want to announce that I am now now back.
Speaker 3: In the world of musicals I have.
Speaker 1: I was gone for of time and now I am back,
Speaker 1: and I want to tell you about a musical we
Speaker 1: saw last night, Mulon Rouge playing at the Pantagious. Now
Speaker 1: I must tell you it is, if not the most
Speaker 1: unique musical I have ever heard, enjoyed and seen performed.
Speaker 1: It is one of them. No, I'd go so far
Speaker 1: say it's the most unique. It is the yeah, the
Speaker 1: most unique musicals. To give me an idea, there are
Speaker 1: over one hundred songs. How do you do one hundred
Speaker 1: songs in a two and a half hour musical. You
Speaker 1: have to go to see it. It is extraordinary to see.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to suggest, if you're going to see
Speaker 1: a musical, you want to jump on this one because
Speaker 1: it is. It's mind boggling, it's so good. And oh
Speaker 1: oh yeah right, thank you, No, not.
Speaker 4: Really, thanks. You got some Mulan Rouge.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And it's playing.
Speaker 1: It's Mulon Rouge the musical, and it is playing at
Speaker 1: the Pantagious until I think November sixteenth.
Speaker 4: I'm guessing your tickets free.
Speaker 1: Yeah. However, the hotel room was not what okay, dinner
Speaker 1: was not. The gasoline to come from Orange County was not.
Speaker 1: So it ended up costing expensive night. Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it was an expensive It was a media knighte. It
Speaker 1: was a media nite, So they invite the media in
Speaker 1: the hopes that people talk about, Oh what a shocker
Speaker 1: talking about it. Also, you combine a terrific musical with
Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful theaters anywhere, and it's a
Speaker 1: hell of a night.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: I want to point something out really quickly before we
Speaker 1: hit the news, and that is as you watch the musical,
Speaker 1: if you look very, very carefully and in the right
Speaker 1: hand back way at the back of the stage, in
Speaker 1: the right hand corner, you will see for a moment
Speaker 1: the only straight guy who appears.
Speaker 3: In the musical.
Speaker 4: Was he a stage hand or we don't know, lighting guy?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know's it's only because.
Speaker 2: His step shuffle ball chance was off? What was the Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a tap reference.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, thank you.
Speaker 2: I just for some reason, you just know, you missed
Speaker 2: one other thing about Moolong Rouge, and that is because
Speaker 2: of the way it was written and the songs that
Speaker 2: are used. It's not like a Broadway musical where you know,
Speaker 2: out of eight songs, six of them are really fantastic
Speaker 2: and two are like every single song and.
Speaker 1: Well you'll recognize, you will recognize every single song.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave it at that.
Speaker 1: It's just anyway, well we're seeing to say that now.
Speaker 4: It's good to see you all happy and games.
Speaker 3: I am. I am because I'm back in the world
Speaker 3: of musical.
Speaker 1: This is where I revel, this is where I live,
Speaker 1: This is where I'm.
Speaker 3: A happy camper.
Speaker 4: Are those jazz hands yes, okay.
Speaker 1: Yes they are. Okay, guys to it. It is time
Speaker 1: for handle on the news on this Thursday morning, November
Speaker 1: sixth after saying hello to everybody.
Speaker 3: With Amy and Neil and me.
Speaker 7: Lead Sorry, yesterday probably the longest session I've ever seen
Speaker 7: in front of the US Supreme Court, where the administration
Speaker 7: was defending the tariffs.
Speaker 1: There's been a lawsuit against the tariffs, arguing that the
Speaker 1: President overstepped his authority, that because Congress is the only
Speaker 1: part of the government that is able to invoke terriffs,
Speaker 1: and the administration is that no, no, these aren't tariffs.
Speaker 1: These are not really tariffs. No, they you have to
Speaker 1: call them something else. And then they said that these
Speaker 1: aren't well, terroriffs are to raise money.
Speaker 3: These are regulatory tariffs.
Speaker 1: They're not revenue raising tariffs, so it's not to raise money,
Speaker 1: although Trump has said we have tons of money and
Speaker 1: we're raising more and tariffs are all about money.
Speaker 2: So you know, go figure, that's right up there with
Speaker 2: the California gas fees.
Speaker 4: Yes, that we pay because I can't use the word
Speaker 4: jacks or fees.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fees that we have. Yeah, in the courts have
Speaker 3: allowed that to happen.
Speaker 1: And then one other thing that Trump's position was that
Speaker 1: and has been since the beginning, is that the countries
Speaker 1: that are being tariffed pay the tariff. That's absolutely not true.
Speaker 1: We pay the terriffs.
Speaker 4: Oh so I.
Speaker 2: Ordered something from the UK, yes, and I got an
Speaker 2: email for the first time that I've ever seen this
Speaker 2: from UPS that says you owe us The thing I
Speaker 2: bought was one hundred and twenty dollars. You owe us
Speaker 2: ninety two dollars. And I'm like, what, I thought? It
Speaker 2: was a scam, So I had to do a bunch
Speaker 2: of research. But go on log on UPS and it
Speaker 2: was it was me paying for the tariffs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: But no, no, if you ask the administration. You're not
Speaker 1: paying for the tariffs. The UK is paying for the tariffs.
Speaker 1: Tell it to my bank account, no kiddings. So I
Speaker 1: paid for it, but as the interest, I thought it
Speaker 1: was a scam. And I think, yeah, it's the tariffs
Speaker 1: are insane, you know, Platinum cook Wear with my partner Saville,
Speaker 1: we're and we bring in it, We bring in we
Speaker 1: bring in stainless steel, which is tariff at the highest level, cookwar,
Speaker 1: which is terriffs at the highest level from China, which
Speaker 1: is tariff at the highest level.
Speaker 3: And so it's over one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Gosh, it almost makes you want to make it not
Speaker 2: with slave flavor out of the country.
Speaker 1: Damn right, those fourteen year olds that are putting it together.
Speaker 1: The other thing I want to point out, and this
Speaker 1: one's kind of interesting for a court that usually gives
Speaker 1: tremendous deference to the president, that believes the president has
Speaker 1: more power than any court has ever made that decision,
Speaker 1: even the court John Roberts, other than Clarence Thomas. But
Speaker 1: John Roberts and Gorsage kept on saying, is this unlimited?
Speaker 1: Does the president simply say I'm going to tariff because
Speaker 1: I want a tariff and Congress has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with it, and that's what the argument was. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is unlimited power. We'll see what happened.
Speaker 2: Problem is, it's been working in many cases, and how
Speaker 2: do you argue that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, it's gonna be dicey if you're planning
Speaker 6: to head to the airport. The FAA has announced plans
Speaker 6: to cut the number of flights by ten percent at
Speaker 6: forty airports around the country, and that includes lax Ontario
Speaker 6: International and San Diego International. They're saying they've got to
Speaker 6: do it to make sure that the skies stay safe
Speaker 6: because of the staffing shortages at air traffic control towers
Speaker 6: around the country caused by the government shutdown.
Speaker 3: Yep, he goes, look in the sky, it's not a plane.
Speaker 4: Would you fly anywhere right now? I mean the lines
Speaker 4: that I've seen, like no' penous it would take forever.
Speaker 5: I just flew and I didn't have any trouble.
Speaker 4: Yeah, coming in from your arms tired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Portland, and there wasn't any delay with the TSA.
Speaker 6: Nope, TSA was a breathe Wow. Now my friend also
Speaker 6: flew into Portland. We met in Portland and she was
Speaker 6: delayed about an hour out of Phoenix.
Speaker 3: Because of the TSA or just the plane was delayed period.
Speaker 6: I don't think it was because of TSA. I think
Speaker 6: it was the air traffic controllers, right, they're calling it, well,
Speaker 6: that's what I meant, yeah, air traffic controllers.
Speaker 4: Yeah. All right.
Speaker 2: So you've got a coalition of sorts California Republicans filing
Speaker 2: a lawsuit, of course, because that's what we do now
Speaker 2: in politics. They're challenging gav gov Gav Newsome and the
Speaker 2: approved redistricting effort effort, so Prop fifty and as much
Speaker 2: as I don't like Prop fifty and I think it's
Speaker 2: going to bite us in the ass in a way
Speaker 2: that we don't know, it's done. It's done. Negotiate before
Speaker 2: the contract, the contracts done. Leave it alone, Okay, it
Speaker 2: won it passed. Go somewhere else. Don't waste more money.
Speaker 5: That is not the way of our world anymore.
Speaker 3: I'll just let it be. I'm going to talk more
Speaker 3: about that at seven o'clock, just to let you know.
Speaker 1: Since twenty since the twenty twenty census, over a one
Speaker 1: hundred lawsuits have been filed in attempts to block redistricting.
Speaker 4: We need to get rid of the census.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do. It had no cost. Okay, we can't
Speaker 3: do that. You know why we can't get rid of
Speaker 3: the census.
Speaker 4: Well, it's how we know how many people are here.
Speaker 1: That is correct. But why is it that we must
Speaker 1: do the census. It's constitution that is correct in the constitution.
Speaker 2: Same thing in Jesus' day, which is why they had
Speaker 2: to help, why they had to go to Bethlehem on
Speaker 2: an ass just like this show.
Speaker 3: Okay, very very deep.
Speaker 4: I'm deep, religiously so.
Speaker 6: Tread lightly doj A federal judge has warned the Justice
Speaker 6: Department that it could be getting dangerously close to mishandling
Speaker 6: evidence in its criminal case against former FBI director James Comy.
Speaker 6: Judge William Patrick of the Eastern District of Virginia said,
Speaker 6: right now, we're in a bit of a feeling of
Speaker 6: indict first, investigate later. Fitzpatrick wants to get the grand
Speaker 6: jury transcripts.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Does anybody have any doubt that's what's going on that
Speaker 1: the President is going after Letitia James and Komy and
Speaker 1: John Bolton, notwithstanding anything they have done. Rayfire, you go
Speaker 1: ahead and charge them and will find something to charge
Speaker 1: them with you can't do that. It has to be
Speaker 1: the other way around. And I'll talk more about that later, No,
Speaker 1: I won't. I was then talk more about the previous
Speaker 1: story about the lawsuits.
Speaker 2: So Trump is feeling the heat. A lot of people
Speaker 2: believe that the it was a testament of people pushing
Speaker 2: against Trump and the shutdown of the government on November fourth.
Speaker 2: Federal shutdown has dragged on. Of course, it's becoming the
Speaker 2: longest in American history, and Republicans felt the losses on
Speaker 2: election Day. Trump told Republican senators the White House on
Speaker 2: Wednesday that the government shutdown was a huge factor. No
Speaker 2: dub So he says, we got to shut down, and
Speaker 2: the shutdown.
Speaker 4: And the filibuster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he actually did a pretty good job of analyzing
Speaker 1: what happened. One of them was the government shutdown is
Speaker 1: white people, and people are blaming the Republicans for it,
Speaker 1: which he doesn't understand or just doesn't get. Also the
Speaker 1: fact that he was not on the ballot in any
Speaker 1: of these races and that hurt the Republicans.
Speaker 3: He's absolutely right, because when Trump is.
Speaker 1: On the ballot, it's a very different kind of vote,
Speaker 1: far more than normally what happens during a presidential So
Speaker 1: he's right.
Speaker 4: And the way he analyzes a weird entity, I'll give
Speaker 4: you that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is so.
Speaker 1: And the and the shutdown still continues today is a
Speaker 1: thirty seven I think. So we are now well into
Speaker 1: the longest period of time that we've ever had.
Speaker 3: A shutdown, and it doesn't look like it's close either.
Speaker 5: Although there's talk that they're kind of talking behind closed doors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see. Still, it takes a while, all right.
Speaker 6: Better than expected private sector job creation bounced back in October.
Speaker 6: Payroll processing company ADP estimated that private sector jobs forty
Speaker 6: two thousand more jobs last month, which is a rebound.
Speaker 6: ADP's chief economist, though, cautioned that while the pace of
Speaker 6: hiring is running slower than earlier this year, and it's
Speaker 6: also more concentrated in just a few sectors.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to look at that.
Speaker 1: It's not just jobs overall, it's which kind of jobs
Speaker 1: like holidays.
Speaker 5: Yeah's coming up.
Speaker 1: Right, And you've got for example, Information lost seventeen thousand jobs. Oh,
Speaker 1: we know that because all the IT companies are laying off,
Speaker 1: and so leisure and hospitality down six thousand jobs. That's
Speaker 1: because they have AI. When you go up to the desk, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you? I'd like to talk to someone you
Speaker 1: are and you're not talking to anybody.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: I always know when things are crappy because my wife's
Speaker 2: a therapist. So if she's busy, that means the hell
Speaker 2: at the world's auguring for sure. All right, what a story.
Speaker 2: Mexican President Claudia Shinbaum strolling through the city doing what
Speaker 2: presidents do. She's in the city, capital capital this week.
Speaker 2: She's heading from one government office to another. She stops,
Speaker 2: she takes selfies with the crowd and admirers. Pretty typical
Speaker 2: politician stuff, right. A man comes up from behind, slips
Speaker 2: his arms around the President of Mexico her shoulder, leaned in,
Speaker 2: planted a kiss on her neck, and briefly grabbed her
Speaker 2: chee cheese before an aid pushed them away.
Speaker 4: An age che cheese, che cheese. There's a Spanish for boobies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't have bakey brestiss Okay, no, but I
Speaker 2: mean it's like I, I I know, flabbergacid and an aid.
Speaker 2: You don't have security, you would think, although it's not
Speaker 2: the same.
Speaker 1: Although when you think of Mexico with the Narco traficantes.
Speaker 3: So I'm back to your right security.
Speaker 2: Well, so she is now got this war against rampant
Speaker 2: sexual harassment going on Mexico.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been used as a poster child for women
Speaker 1: in general.
Speaker 3: Actually, this was a good thing.
Speaker 1: This happened because no one was hurt, and she's using
Speaker 1: this as a platform to talk about women.
Speaker 2: How do you get that close to the president of Mexico,
Speaker 2: No idea.
Speaker 6: Somebody apparently didn't pay attention when the cyberfolks, Hey, don't
Speaker 6: use the easy passwords like one, two, three, four, five
Speaker 6: six or your birthday. The password to the Louvers surveillance
Speaker 6: video system was LOUVER very very good l o u
Speaker 6: v r E. At the time of the robbery of
Speaker 6: the one hundred million dollars worth of Crown jewels, and
Speaker 6: that wasn't the only thing. The security measures at the
Speaker 6: Louver have been coming under fire. They did have a camera,
Speaker 6: but the only one at the Apollo Gallery where the
Speaker 6: Crown Jewels were was facing the wrong direction.
Speaker 4: Because they don't expect someone coming through the window right.
Speaker 6: And then the museum's alarms apparently worked. Video cameras were working,
Speaker 6: but there were weaknesses in the perimeter security because of
Speaker 6: gidding under investment.
Speaker 4: It's under investment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you talk about the value of these jewels,
Speaker 1: not only the actual value monetary value, but historical value,
Speaker 1: which is way more important than the materials themselves.
Speaker 4: One hundred and two can'ts a million is you know,
Speaker 4: which You're not gonna be.
Speaker 3: Able to sell these. They have to be melted down.
Speaker 4: And then the history goes with it.
Speaker 1: And then the UPS crash that we just talked about
Speaker 1: a number of people dead looks like eleven already or
Speaker 1: twelve people and still.
Speaker 2: Some people missing and up to twelve now, yeah, and
Speaker 2: which is horrific, but you keep looking at that thinking, man,
Speaker 2: how did more people not die?
Speaker 3: Crazy? So the US.
Speaker 2: UPS plane crash, three employees of the Louisville facility are
Speaker 2: missing still and they say it looked like Hell's fury
Speaker 2: because it just the explosion in the line of fire.
Speaker 1: Full of fuel and it looks like it hit a
Speaker 1: fuel depot there at the airport.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the slimming to this facility there shortly after taking off.
Speaker 2: Twelve people dead at this point, multiple families with missing
Speaker 2: loved ones. It just is absolutely insane, and I mean,
Speaker 2: there'd be an investigation, right, and they'll figure out why
Speaker 2: the wing came off.
Speaker 3: All right, stell one more and then we'll take our
Speaker 3: last break.
Speaker 5: All in one.
Speaker 6: The Olympics open closing ceremonies are going to be held
Speaker 6: at the Los Angeles Coliseum, not at SOFI. So Originally
Speaker 6: they had planned to hold the closing ceremonies at both stadiums,
Speaker 6: both venues, but LA City Council unanimously voted yesterday that
Speaker 6: it will be only at La Memorial Coliseum. Now the
Speaker 6: opening ceremony will be shared between the Colisseum and SOFI.
Speaker 3: I wonder how much the tickets are going to be
Speaker 3: for opening ceremony.
Speaker 1: I would think opening ceremonies are the most boring thing
Speaker 1: because you've got three hours of looking at two hundred countries.
Speaker 5: Oh I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, okay, I've had enough of that.
Speaker 1: Well, you see the athletes, and you see the Americans,
Speaker 1: you see the Russians and they're Chinese. So there's two
Speaker 1: hundred people, and then you have toga, which has one
Speaker 1: guy holding.
Speaker 4: In Atoga in drunk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, real quick, one, if you drive a Toyota, you
Speaker 1: are going to die next week, right, Neil, No, that
Speaker 1: is not the case, but you do have.
Speaker 2: A million in change of the US vehicles from Toyota
Speaker 2: are being recalled. This is due to a flaw with
Speaker 2: the rear view camera.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I remember Bill when we had to turn our next
Speaker 2: to look what was behind us. And now they think
Speaker 2: you're going to die if you don't have the camera.
Speaker 3: Well, we think about this. I don't even bother looking back.
Speaker 1: I just use the camera and sure now and it
Speaker 1: says do not look at the camera solely, which is
Speaker 1: complete crap because the view of the camera is all encompassing.
Speaker 1: And more importantly, I guess if you like the person
Speaker 1: they were about to hit, if there are no blind
Speaker 1: spots back there.
Speaker 4: You know what the fun thing is.
Speaker 2: You go to the little five and dime as the
Speaker 2: kids call it, right, and you get a tiny little
Speaker 2: grocery cart and you tape it to that. Now people
Speaker 2: think there's a grocery cart behind their car every time.
Speaker 2: They never mind gat anyways, So that may affect you.
Speaker 2: If the camera's not working.
Speaker 1: Be safe. If you shop a Trader Joe's, you're gonna die,
Speaker 1: right Amy.
Speaker 5: Jeez, everybody's going to die today.
Speaker 6: So there's a listeria outbreak federal health officials say it's
Speaker 6: into seventeen, actually eighteen states now. It's linked to frozen
Speaker 6: pasta that you can get at Trader Joe's and at Walmart.
Speaker 6: It's also available at Kroger's, Sprouts Market, and other major
Speaker 6: grocery stores. So this frozen pasta is coming out of
Speaker 6: Nate's Fine Foods, based in northern California. As of late
Speaker 6: last month, the outbreak has killed six people and made
Speaker 6: twenty seven others sick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they're changing the label to Nate's Not
Speaker 1: So Fine Foods.
Speaker 4: Yeah, markings gonna have to change.
Speaker 2: Smeldaves, Maldives, Maldives, Maldives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I thought. What a weird way to
Speaker 4: ban smoking.
Speaker 2: So they're banning smoking for everyone that was born after
Speaker 2: January one, two thousand and seven, so you can't purchase, use,
Speaker 2: or be sold tobacco products.
Speaker 1: Yes, we're I would think if you're looking at the
Speaker 1: philosophy here, sort of okay, if you're older than that,
Speaker 1: you're already completely addicted and.
Speaker 3: It's much harder for you. I can't think of any
Speaker 3: other reason.
Speaker 4: Just say it's a it's illegal. Yeah, is that across
Speaker 4: the bar?
Speaker 1: The Maldives are probably the best place to do scuba
Speaker 1: diving in the world.
Speaker 4: It's hard to smoke underwater.
Speaker 3: Yes, it is okay. If another story is going to
Speaker 3: get so hot, you're gonna die, Neil.
Speaker 4: No, this isn't me say my turn. Oh I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: So don't get ahead of yourself.
Speaker 5: Nobody's gonna die.
Speaker 6: But apparently the Trump administration's got to fork over millions
Speaker 6: of dollars. They have been ordered or it has been
Speaker 6: ordered to release millions of dollars in grants that were
Speaker 6: supposed to be addressing the shortage of mental health workers
Speaker 6: in schools. Congressunt funded the mental health program after the
Speaker 6: school shooting in Uvalde, Texas in twenty twenty two, but
Speaker 6: President Trump's administration had opposed diversity considerations used to award
Speaker 6: the grants and told the recipients of them that they
Speaker 6: wouldn't be getting any funding past December. It is a
Speaker 6: preliminary ruling. I would imagine that they'll fight it.
Speaker 1: Of course they're going to fight it. So they're saying,
Speaker 1: we don't want to give money to people who are
Speaker 1: mentally ill because we don't believe they're mentally ill, or
Speaker 1: because they happen to be a different race.
Speaker 4: They're brown, and I know we don't want to take care.
Speaker 3: Go figure that one out. Why not?
Speaker 2: Okay, now on you're going to die because the world
Speaker 2: will overshoot the one point five degree climate goal. We
Speaker 2: have climate goals like where we want to be hot
Speaker 2: heat wise? Yeah, in the Paris the court, Yeah, let's
Speaker 2: get here. Let's get this. So they didn't want it
Speaker 2: to go over that, I would imagine, But the world
Speaker 2: has failed once again to meet it's climate change target
