And you know, to be a weather forecaster, 26 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: traditionally in Los Angeles you would say this, every day, 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: We're going to have, you know, some morning morning fog 28 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: or clouds.

I don't even know what it 33 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: is of this ridiculously hot weather. And then we're getting 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: this these rains that could cause mudslides. And you know, 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: fire season used to just be in like October. Now 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: it's fire season year round. And it has me really 37 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: questioning that it cause God punishing California and why am 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: I paying these taxes because this is not what I'm 39 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: here for. Well that's said. I'm bringing in Alex Stone 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: from ABC News because he's um, Alex, where are you from? 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: Northern California, but been here nineteen years learn in northern California. 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: Oh okay, well yeah you can. Yeah, you've had your 43 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: sheriff extreme weather up there. Yeah yeah. I mean, in fact, 44 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: I wonder before we get into this, if if this 45 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: is sort of how yeah, you know, whether or not 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: you want to argue that man made climate change or 47 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: it's just a cyclical thing. I do whatever, I don't care. 48 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: But at what point do you start making um investment decisions? 49 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: If you're an agriculture in other words, if you're growing 50 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: caverni Savinona, Napa, do you start growing something else? Does 51 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: cab move up to Oregon? And do rocket penots move 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: up to Washington Arbors? Yeah, everybody's got to say, and 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: I mean firefighters they'll tell you that they don't know 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: what it is, and then they don't want to get 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: political about it. But it's not what it was. And 56 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: twenty years ago we weren't doing fire like we're doing 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: fire now. No, no, no, no, I mean I remember 58 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: when I worked in Santa Rosa many many years ago 59 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: and we got fired gear and they said, why do 60 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: we need this? We don't have wildfires in Sonoma County 61 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: and then what did we have five years ago and 62 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: Santa Rosa was wiped out? I mean, it's it's not 63 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: what it was. And firefighters tell you that, they'll say 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: that the way it runs, the intensity of it, the 65 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: number of them totally different than what it used to be. 66 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: And our grid, of course is you know, we haven't 67 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: invested out grid and it's just the State's ridiculous that 68 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: these things whatever. But tell me about what's happening with 69 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: the rain and the wind coming in a little like Miami, right, 70 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: you worked, Yes, I did, I did, and I've been 71 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: through I've never been through a hurricane, but I've been 72 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: through a tropical storm and that is not fun. I 73 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: can't imagine a hurricane. But that's like the one thing 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: we're not supposed to get in California exactly, and you're 75 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: living through one right now. This is a tropical storm 76 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: right now, downgraded from a hurricane to that. So yeah, 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: wild afternoon, San Diego. They are sandbagging. They have been 78 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: doing it today. A lot of rain coming down in 79 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: San Diego. This guy manager at a restaurant, well, you 80 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: don't want no damage in your floor, inside your promises, 81 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: like all the business in here. You know, they don't 82 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: want damage on the floor. They've been watching that rain 83 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: come down. In fact, this is that's the wind in 84 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: San Diego right now out along the bay where it's 85 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: been very windy, been very rainy all day today. Lear 86 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: jet ended up at Naval Air Station Coronado north Shore 87 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: that he was off the end of the runway really 88 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: while landing in heavy wind and rain. It is now 89 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: moving north, it's about at the New Hall Pass, moving up, 90 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: but still there is this circulation with what looks like 91 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: an eye right off of in Sonata. And to see 92 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: that over southern California, that's amazing. It's so weird. Yeah, 93 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: you look at the radar and to see that all 94 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: the warnings coming in the Governor's office and strong one 95 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: gust of sixty miles an hour possible, especially over the 96 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: higher terrain. And then we'll see the rain come in 97 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: and potential for heavy rain and flooding in that area 98 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, so earlier today the worry was the 99 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: seventy mile an hour wind still going to be windy, 100 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: but they were worried that the wind was going to 101 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: come in before the rain moved in and was going 102 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: to take the Fairview fire and the fire over Big 103 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: Bear and make them run, and it was going to 104 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: be nuts and cal Fire was telling us kind of 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, get ready, this is going to be 106 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: really bad. Luckily that didn't go on. The rain is 107 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: in now it is over the fire zones. But now 108 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: we look at the rain and that is the next 109 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: big thing that we have gone from heat to flames, 110 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: near blackouts right on the verge of it this week 111 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: to now, Yeah, what is the rain going to do? 112 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: What's left? Yeah, well, somebody said to me yesterday, Wow, 113 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: this is yesterday, not today. Earthquake, of course is not. 114 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,679 Speaker 1: Don't say that. We don't need that National Weather Service 115 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: saying tonight. So we'll be on the moist rain and 116 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: still some of the wind side of this cyclone. How 117 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,919 Speaker 1: much rain in San Diego, Well, anywhere from a quarter 118 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: inch to as much as inch and a half. So 119 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: we're honing in on around one inch to the forecast. Now, 120 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 1: if you're in Alabama, you're going, oh, big whoop, You're 121 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: gonna get one inch tonight. You know, thunderstorms move over, 122 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: they get a lot. That's a lot for us and 123 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: an area that hasn't gotten anything. And San Diego they're 124 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: feeling it right now. La will feel it a little 125 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: bit later, not to the extent of San Diego. But 126 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: there is the real concern about tonight over the burn 127 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: areas where four hours it was burning and flames are racing, 128 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: and now we're talking about heavy rain and that mudslide threat. 129 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: We all know that in a burn area can't absorb 130 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: the water, it's fragile. Then everything begins to move and 131 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: turns into course, you liquid all of that. So people 132 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: in those areas have been warned if your home didn't 133 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: burn in the last couple of days, it could get 134 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: hit by a mudslide to night. And you know, it's 135 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: just one thing after another, and the rain will increase 136 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: and be widespread with embedded heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms. 137 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: So in some areas just too much rain at once 138 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. So we're going to deal 139 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: with it all night tonight through tomorrow morning. All eye's 140 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: going to be on the helmet area and up in 141 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: a big bear and elsewhere. But what a bizarre final 142 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: punch to this whole thing, that like what this last 143 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: the ten days have been and then to say and 144 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: at the end you're going to live through a tropical 145 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: storm almost a hurricane. It's nuts. And after we're like, 146 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: oh we need rain, oh no rain, Oh, somebody up 147 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: above said we will give you rain. We will give 148 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: you a lot of rain. And I will just say 149 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: for people who are like, oh, you know, boohoo about 150 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: the mud slide, No, remember what happened in Montecito a 151 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: few years ago after the big fires there at December 152 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: and then in January that horrific mudslide that killed it 153 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: some people near ag Yeah. Yeah, so we can't win. 154 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: We're being punished, and so why I'm paying ta. I 155 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: just want, like, all I want are three days in 156 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: a row of the old La weather. You know, no, 157 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: too much to ask for, you can't have it? All right, 158 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I gotta move to Santa Rosea. Maybe I got 159 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: to wear our Ben Doregan. Ben Doregan is the new 160 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: Los Angeles.

I don't really I remember 220 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: like not really doing much work in school and kind 221 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: of just having like the TV on in the background 222 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: so my teacher could like monitor what was going on 223 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: and stuff. And we kind of talked about it in school, 224 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: I think, but it was more when I got home 225 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: from school that day, my parents kind of just sat 226 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: me down, put me in front of the TV. Kind 227 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: of explained what was going on, but they didn't send 228 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: my sister to school at the time, she was going 229 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: to a preschool which was at our temple. So they 230 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: didn't want to send word. Yeah, because he didn't know 231 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: what was going to happen right exactly. He knew what 232 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: was going to happen, right, and so they were afraid 233 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: Disneyland was going to know. I'm telling you. Oh. They 234 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: they shut down sports for like two days after Well, um, 235 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: I was working for CNBC, which is where I still work, 236 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: and my husband at the time was flying for American 237 00:12:54,200 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: Airlines and he sometimes flew JFK to lax And but 238 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: he had just gotten home the night before and my 239 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: brother in law was the United Airlines captain and I 240 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: remember calling them and I'm right early in the morning 241 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: and I just said to my sister in law, is 242 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: is John Holmes? She said why? I said, well, turn 243 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 1: on the TV. He was home. It was all good, 244 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: But it was one of those things whereas the day 245 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: wore on, I mean I went into work obviously, because 246 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: they were concerned that Disneyland, of the studios, that Hollywood 247 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: might be a target. I mean, we didn't know who 248 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: was going to be a target. Were they going to 249 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: hit the Federal Building in Los Angeles? No, but it 250 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: was just crazy. Nobody knew because might have been a target, 251 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: we didn't know. Three of the planes were headed to 252 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: LA and one to San Francisco. It was And I 253 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: remember when I finally came home, we all everybody was 254 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: in shock, and we went out to dinner at a 255 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: pizza place, and it was all over the TV. And 256 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: my kids were eight and ten, and I'm telling you, 257 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: my son is like the eight year old. He's now 258 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: a captain in the Marine Corps and that day was 259 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: the reason why. But I remember my daughter, my ten 260 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 1: year old daughter, finally saying, I just don't want to 261 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: see this anymore. I just want to stop hearing about 262 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: it and talking about it. And you know, you think 263 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: about that when you're ten years old. Certainly for the 264 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: people who were impacted by this and back in New York. So, yeah, 265 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: twenty one years, I'm sure there will be some remembers 266 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: as obviously. I was actually this Sunday on nine to eleven, 267 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: supposed to interview a young Afghan translator. He was young 268 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: at the time when we invaded Afghanistan. Shortly after nine 269 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: to eleven when President Bush said, pretty soon you're going 270 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: to hear from all of us. It was very risky, 271 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: but it was a good living for these young Afghan 272 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: men who had no futures to come if they could 273 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: speak English, to come work with the Americans. Of great risk, 274 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: great risk. And one of them is named Zobby and 275 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: he ended up being a translator for a young lieutenant 276 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: in the Marine Corps named Corey Maza who was over there, 277 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: who did a tour of duty in Afghanistan, and when 278 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: Cobble fell a year ago, this is a crazy story. 279 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: I can't even begin to get into it. Zobbie was 280 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: outside the gates of the airport desperately trying to get 281 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: out because the Taliban were coming for him and for 282 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: his fiancee, who actually was part of the Afghan military, 283 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: which of course collapsed, and he was running out of money, 284 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: running out of time. It was very cold, but he's 285 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: able to face time with Corey here half a world away, 286 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: and Corey was working everything he could, everything he could 287 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: do to try and help this guy and managed to 288 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: get a hold of the cell phone number for a 289 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: marine who was, you know, century there at the airport. 290 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: It was crazy, but Zobby was running out of money, 291 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: and Corey joked to him kind of in this you 292 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: know Gallows humor. Well, too bad, you know you don't 293 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: have crypto. There was a long pause and Zobby was like, 294 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: my accept crypto. I have a digital wallet, and Corey 295 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: over the next hour managed to send him crypto to 296 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: his digital wallet on his phone. He managed to go 297 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: back into Cobble to a business that would convert it 298 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: to cash, get back to the airport, throwing cash right 299 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: and left and pushing his way in. Finally got past 300 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: the barrier, got onto a plane, and he now lives 301 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: in Arizona. And Zobby is now in this country trying 302 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: to get you know, special visas and all these things 303 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: they're doing for these Afghan translators. I did a story 304 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: with him last January on Jane Wells Bolton dot com 305 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: where you hear his calm voice as he's talking to 306 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: Corey while the s you know what, is hitting the fan. 307 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: It's just amazing. His nickname is Mighty Mouse. And he's 308 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: now in Arizona and I'm going to do a follow 309 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: up with him, and I was supposed to do it Sunday, 310 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: September eleventh, which I thought was ironic, but we're actually 311 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: delaying it a little bit because he's out trying to 312 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: get another job. But he is. You want people like 313 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: that guy. You want that guy in this country. That 314 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 1: guy is a hustler, that guy works, that guy thinks. 315 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: That guy is always working, working, working, And I'm glad 316 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: he's safely here because we owe those people. We owe 317 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: those people. He wouldn't be up and above and beyond 318 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: being a translator. He saved lives because he would clue 319 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: them in on what these leaders were actually trying to 320 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: say to them, beyond the words they were actually using. Well, 321 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: we got off topic there, but that's a good one. 322 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure what we're going to talk about. 323 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: That great Jane.

Cut to my William now 345 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: assumes the Scottish titles which have meant so much to me. 346 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: He succeeds me as Duke of Cornall and takes on 347 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornell, which I have 348 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: undertaken for more than five decades. To day, I am 349 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 1: proud to create him Prince of Wales, to whisso cumery, 350 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged 351 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: to bear during so much of my life and duty. 352 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales, 353 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: will I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, 354 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: helping to bring the marginal to the center ground where 355 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: vital help can be given. I want also to express 356 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: my love for Harry and Megan as they continue to 357 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: build their lives reseas. So they were mentioned briefly. Of course, Harry, 358 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: even though he gave up all his royal duties, is 359 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: still in line to the throne behind William and William's 360 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: three children, and then after Harry are his two children 361 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: who now have royal titles. Archie and Lillabette are now 362 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,959 Speaker 1: Prince Archie and Princes Lillabette, which I don't think they 363 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: had royal titles before this. King Charles also talked about 364 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: his wife Camilla, who it appears after all these years, 365 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, we're talking twenty five years since Diana's death 366 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: and everything that's come out from that, that the Queen 367 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: has embraced Camilla as the queen, embraced past tense Camilla 368 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: as the Queen consort, and perhaps the country will as well. 369 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: Here's what King Charles said about his wife, this is 370 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: also a time of change from my family. I count 371 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: on the loving help of my darling wife Camilla, in 372 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: recognition of her own loyal public service. Since I'm marriage 373 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: seventeen years ago. She becomes my Queen Consort. I know 374 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: she will bring to the demands of her new role 375 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: the steadfast devotion to duty on which I have come 376 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: to rely so much. And finally, as he finished the speech, 377 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: I got very personal cut three to my darling Mamma, 378 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: as you begin your last great journey to join my 379 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: dear late Papa, I want simply to say this, thank you. 380 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: Thank you for your love and devotion to our family 381 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: and to the family of nations. You have served so 382 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: diligently all these years. May flights of angels sing thee 383 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: to thy rest. That is King Charles the Third in 384 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: is statement as King to the public. He also met 385 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: with the Prime Minister. Today. We know that Vladimir Putin 386 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: will not attend the queen's funeral. President Biden is expected 387 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: to not sure about Donald Trump. So let me transition 388 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: to the latest news about former President Trump. As you know, 389 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: he started truth social as well what he hoped would 390 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: be a competitor to Twitter and to infuse truth social 391 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: with quite a bit of money, a billion dollars he 392 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: wanted to take. The plan it was to take or 393 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: is to take the company public through not a traditional IPO, 394 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: but through something called a spack. And let me try 395 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: and explain this and please Ray or anybody Eric Mark 396 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: if I'm like, what do you mean? You can do 397 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: a traditional IPO to take your company public, where you 398 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: have to go around and do what's called a road 399 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: show and you go to investment banks and try to 400 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: convince them to help underride it and that they'll pitch 401 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: it to all their clients. That kind of thing. It's 402 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: very long, it's very tiring, and you have to hide 403 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: have a whole presentation. Or what's become more popular in 404 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: the last few years is to merge with what's called 405 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: a spack, a blank check company. What a SPACK is 406 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: a special purpose acquisition company. It is a group of 407 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: investors who pull their money together and they make that public. 408 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: They're just their blank check company, and with the goal 409 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: that within a certain amount of time they merge or 410 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: buy another entity in order to take that company public. 411 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: So they all these investors got together took their spack public. 412 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: It's called Digital World I don't forget DWAC is the 413 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: sticker symbol with the and then we're merging. So the 414 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: idea was that investors would eventually approve this merger with 415 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: the Truth Social Trump company to go public. It's easier 416 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: this way to go public. This way you don't have 417 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: to do a road show. You only have to convince 418 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: a smaller group of investors. Well, the problem with the 419 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: fact that's supposed to take Truth Social public is it's 420 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: not only being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, 421 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: but maybe enough investors now are not convinced that Truth 422 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: Social is the way to go, that they're going to 423 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: make money by having that as their public face on 424 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: the stock market. And so what's happening now with this 425 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: back is they were supposed to decide yesterday whether or 426 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: not they were going to go through with this and 427 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: take Truth Social public through their blank check company, but 428 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: it looks like they don't have enough investors who are 429 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: willing to do this, so they have delayed this vote 430 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: now till next month. And if they can't get enough 431 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: investors to say, yes, we want Truth Social, we want 432 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: this is going to be a good investment for us. 433 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: Let us be the company that takes it public. Let's 434 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: do this. If they can't get enough investors to do that, 435 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: then they have to liquidate the public that's back and 436 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: give everybody back their money. So they keep delaying. In fact, 437 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: they may try and delay it again until they get 438 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: enough investors. It's hard for me to explain. It's like 439 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: if if all of us got together and say, okay, 440 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: let's just put our money together because we plan to 441 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: buy the Rams and take it public, and the Rams 442 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: were like, yeah, well we're going to do this, and 443 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: then we decided a certain point after last night's game. 444 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't think we want them to take the Rams public. 445 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: Then we all get our money back. If not enough 446 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: of us are for we all get our money back. 447 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: And that is what may happen here. So Trump, I'm 448 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: on truth Social and I only follow one person, Donald Trump, 449 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: because I really don't care about truth Social. I think 450 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: it's it's one of these echo chambers, like parlor wise. 451 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's boring. It's the same thing over 452 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: and over and over, and oh it's boring. It's boring. 453 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: But I want to know what Donald Trump says, because 454 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm a journalist. So Trump said that the this that 455 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, he's always like, sign up for truth Now 456 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: it's only getting stronger. He says. The SEC is trying 457 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: to hurt the company, but he says, who knows. In 458 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: any event, I don't need financing, and he puts in 459 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: quotation marks I'm really rich private company anyone. So he's 460 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: already planning for this thing to be a failure so 461 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: that he can say I don't need it, and maybe 462 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't need it. I would like to know how 463 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: rich he really is. Wasn't there a report just a 464 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: few days ago that truth Social was in arrears with 465 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: its web hosts. Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. I think 466 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: it was. It was a huge amount of money too. 467 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: It was say they weren't paying their bills, and looking 468 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: around at the headlines today, it really doesn't look good. 469 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: For instance, Sarah Soota Herald Tribune headline truth Social Trump's 470 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: struggling media company at edge of financial cliff. And then 471 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: you have the notoriously liberal that sarcasm Financial Times, Trump's 472 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: truth Social is the saddest site on the internet. My gosh, 473 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: the ft when the ft calls you sad as the 474 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: former president would say, that's sad. Sad. Look, this is 475 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: not a political statement. I follow the money, and this 476 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: has not been a good investment. It has not been successful. 477 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: You haven't been able to gin up enough interest in 478 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: it and at as bad as Twitter is. In fact, 479 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: it's interesting because I feel like, I know we have 480 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: to go. Elon Musk is doing to Twitter what Trump 481 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: wanted to do, which was to point out all the flaws. Unfortunately, 482 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: he also agreed to buy the company and now may 483 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: be forced to in some form or another. Anyhow, that's 484 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: the latest on what's happening with True Social anybody here 485 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: on it? Mark you on it? No, I'm not.

Anybody here, I mean, 488 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: oh yeah, me sure, I'm a trumpy What do you 489 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: want from me?

Every time 496 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: I walk in, I am seated by the bathroom.

Is if they'll look 517 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: on my face, it's because you know, I've had a 518 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: good run as a you know, bleach blonde, white female, 519 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: and it's time for me to go to the back 520 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: of the room. And I saw the phones light up, 521 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: and so I walked in him like, hey, you know, 522 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: raise out doing whatever rate does. And frankly, he can 523 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: do whatever he wants because he's the producer of the show. 524 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: And I've learned more about Ray Lopez in the last 525 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: two days, then I think I should ever have to 526 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: know quite the interesting cat. Try working with him every day. 527 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: So I will ask you again later. Don't call now 528 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: because nobody's there to screen the phone. I guess I 529 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: could take calls live and we could just see what happened. 530 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: We could just played by ear, but I won't. I 531 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 1: will ask you again later. I want to know, and 532 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 1: we all want to know. How do you get a 533 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: good table at a restaurant? How do you avoid getting 534 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: stuck in the worst table other than being, you know, 535 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:11,719 Speaker 1: a hot celebrity like Kim Kardashian. Speaking of which, Kim Kardashian, 536 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: who is forty one, she I have mixed feelings. Okay, 537 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: so she's starting a private equity firm, which you know, 538 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: don't laugh. Well, I'm not going to say she's a 539 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: rocket scientist, but she's no dummy. And Chris Jenner is 540 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: part of it as well. They're teaming up with executive 541 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: who used to be at Carlisle named Jay Salmons. They're 542 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: launching a private equity firm called Sky Partners SKKI. The 543 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: fun will focus on investments including consumer products, E commerce, media, 544 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: and entertainment. Well, those are all right in her I 545 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: was going to say wheelhouse, but for somehow that sends 546 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: it sounds inappropriate. Quote. The exciting part is to sit 547 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: down with these founders and figure out what their dream is. 548 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 1: Kardashian told The Wall Street Journal. I want to support 549 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: what that is, not change who they are in their DNA, 550 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: but just support and get them to a different level. Well, 551 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: she is a marketing genius, and so you would like 552 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: to maybe have her input and certainly that of her mother. 553 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: So they're starting this private equity firm, and as I've said, 554 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: I have I have conflicting thoughts about her. Um, you know, 555 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: she's never not breaking a loss, never done anything wrong. 556 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: I do think she promotes a unrealistic body image. I 557 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: mean she has this impossible figure and I'm not going 558 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: to guess how much of it is what she came 559 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: into the world with, but it's sort of, you know, 560 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: bar beyond steroids, and I don't think that's particularly healthy 561 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: for nine percent of the other women. On the other hand, 562 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: she's incredibly savvy businesswoman. Her personal fortune is estimated at 563 00:31:54,160 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: one point eight billion dollars according to Forbes KNYE two billion. 564 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,239 Speaker 1: But she did all this. You may argue with how 565 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: she launched her career, but she did all this legitimately. 566 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: You know, her shapewear brand, Skims, is valued at three 567 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: point two billion dollars. She is its largest shareholder, owning 568 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: an estimated thirty five percent of a company. I wonder 569 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: if the goal is to eventually take that company public 570 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: and she does a bunch of you know, she founded 571 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: KKW Beauty. She has a minority stake in Cody, which 572 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: she sold two years ago for two hundred million dollars. 573 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: It's odd that she decided to become the chief taste 574 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: consultant for Beyond Meat because there was that commercial where 575 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: she didn't appear to actually eat the Beyond Meat product. 576 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: But then she had to post an Instagram video showing 577 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: she actually did so, I am and look. I think 578 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: she's trying to do some good things with her life. 579 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: She's she's gone to law school. I think she finally 580 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: passed the baby bar. She's trying to help people who 581 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: she believes are wrongfully incarcerated and shine a light on that. 582 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: And so I have no doubt that she will continue 583 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: to have success on this private equity firm. And while 584 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: I used to have rolled my eyes and laboh Kim Kardashian, 585 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't anymore, though I do remain conflicted on the image. 586 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: I think she portrays the standard of beauty. It's beyond, 587 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: you know, sort of Marilyn Monroe, which was also like 588 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: almost impossible, but a normal but an actual human being 589 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: that had not been tinkered with. And I'm not sure 590 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: that's the case. I don't know for a fact. What 591 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: do you do you guys, Mark, do you think Kim 592 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: kardashion bimbo or genius? I was I didn't know that 593 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: much about her, but I've seen her speak a couple 594 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: of times since, and she's not as dumb as I 595 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: thought she was going to be. No damning with faint praise. 596 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: I realize, Uh, Eric, why not both true. Hey, Jane, 597 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: I love that word. If I would have used it, 598 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: I'd have been you know, I would have been thrown out. 599 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: Which word bimbo? Oh, bimbo or genius? I love that 600 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: word bimbenius. YEA, love that word bimbo. That's what I think. 601 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: She has a bimbanius. She's a bimbanius. She's a bimbo, 602 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: but she's also a genius. She is. Can I get that? 603 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm real quick. Egos Ychek is going into the finals 604 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: of the US Women's Open at a number one ranked 605 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: player in the world, and she credits one reason why 606 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: she had to come back when the other night in 607 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: a semi final with this, just listen to this, that 608 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: the bathroom was a good place to go because the 609 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: both of you went in there and played pretty well. 610 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: After coming back, What did you tell yourself when you 611 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 1: were in there, it's more what I did. Okay, sorry 612 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: about that. I kind of needed to go.
