We haven't had too many 19 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: upmarkets lately. Later in this hour, all things going on 20 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: with the richest man in the world. We've been talking 21 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: about the late Queen Elizabeth and her fortune, which some 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: of which will now pass to King Charles the third. 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is also in the news a lot, and 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 1: he even commented on the queen with a little rest 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: in peace thing. But the big local story is who 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: will be king or Queen of Los Angeles? Who will 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: become the next mayor? Will it be Karen Bass or 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: will it be Rick Caruso. Turns out they both went 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: to USC one paid, the other got a free scholarship. 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: Karen Bass is now part of a federal investigation into 31 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: free scholarships handed out in the School of Social Work, 32 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: one to her and one to Mark Ridley Thomas. Mark 33 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: Ridley Thomas in the head, the former head of the 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: School of Social Work are the ones who are under investigation. 35 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: But she's now been dragged into it. On the phone 36 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: with us now is city councilman Joe Buskay, you know 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: who is a Rick Caruso supporter? Joe, She's not under 38 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: criminal investigation herself. Does this mean anything? It does? It does? Jane? 39 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. It's what the prosecutors clearly 40 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: said that Karen Bass is a critical party to the 41 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: Mark Ridley Thomas corruption prosecution and that should raise some flags. 42 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: Um bottom line, Jane that she that Karen Bass got 43 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: the same bill as Mark Ridley Thomas. She didn't even 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: apply for the scholarship or the program and she got 45 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: all that to get funds forward to school. Clear pay 46 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: to play here quote. They're trying to connect the dots. 47 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: They haven't yet that according to the court filings, allegedly 48 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: the former head of the School of Social Work wanted 49 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: bass Is support in a bill in Congress that would 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 1: have expanded USC and other private university's access to federal 51 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: funding for social work. That in itself makes my head explode. 52 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: But I'll talk about that in a minute. They haven't 53 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: been able to connect the dots. And she says that, 54 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, she was never allegedly she says she was 55 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: never spoke with Flynn about this. So why are they 56 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: even Isn't this just to build their case against Flynn 57 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: and not really anything against Karen Bass regardless of you know, 58 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: how they're building. There is a case that Karen Bass 59 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: has been implied into this criminal investigation and in this 60 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: corruption investigation. Look, this is not what I'm saying. This 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: is not what you're saying, This is not you know 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: from a third party, saw coming from prosecutors who have 63 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: stated their case and what the Daily Times has reported 64 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: this does not look good. Perception is reality, and I 65 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: know that the Karen Bass team today's rambling. Rick Caruso 66 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: sent out a press release that he was going to 67 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: have a press conference, which he apparently did. But people 68 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm seeing all over Twitter, people who responded to RSVP 69 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: to that members of the media got some weird message 70 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: saying that I'm a whistleblower and I think Caruso shouldn't 71 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: be mayor what was that all about? Do you know? 72 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: Clearly a distraction and it came out of the blue, 73 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: not understanding where the thing came from. But it's a 74 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: pathetic and the desperate attempt to a tax with its 75 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: campaign and what he's find accomplish and lead a city 76 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: that will be free and clear of corruption, change the 77 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: culture of city hall, increased public safety resources, and hold 78 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: people accountable for all. Let me tell you, because you're 79 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: city councilman, I have been out of the state effect 80 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: out of the country for much of the last few months. 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: And it was also kind of a nice break, I 82 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: gotta say. And when you come back to Los Angeles, 83 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: San Francis, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, any of the cities 84 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: on the West coast. You don't see it otherwhere elsewhere 85 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: in the country like you do here. I mean, the 86 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: homeless problem is just overwhelming. And we got new numbers 87 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: today on the LA County homeless count. They show an 88 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: increase from twenty twenty. It's up four point one percent. 89 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: I think that's way too small. What significant. What's Rick 90 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: Caruso if elected, what's he going to do about it? Well, 91 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: you're going to fix it and not talk about it, 92 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: and not look at studies and create task forces. And 93 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: I have seen firsthand what needs to be done being 94 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: a member of the city council. If you come to 95 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: my district, we have moved quickly on emergency housing, not 96 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: way three to five years on apartments. So Rick's plan 97 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: is to build thirty thousand beds within the first twelve 98 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: to eighteen months and do so with urgency and at 99 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: the same time. Rick Is also believes that the balance 100 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: approach here that with a solution needs to accountability and 101 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: consequences for those who don't want to move into a 102 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: safer location. Again, it's a carbon coffee of what I've 103 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: done in my district gain and if you look at 104 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: the numbers that just came out today in my council district, 105 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: we have actually seen an increase of people going into 106 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: emergency shelters off the streets and reduction of those living 107 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: on the street. That is the perfect solution moving forward, 108 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 1: and we will continue to build the permanent support of housing. 109 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: But I can tell you we cannot wait three or 110 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: five years at Yeah, why do we need to build doors? Yeah, 111 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: let me just ask you that because out where I live, 112 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: which is Inventora County, they're taking over an older hotel 113 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: and converting it, which seems to me just an infinitely 114 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: cheaper way and more expedient way to do with the 115 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: way they did with Project Room Key. I mean, do 116 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: we really need to build We don't. Everything ought to 117 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: be on the table and solve in this silnessness crisis. 118 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: And I'm happy to hear van tourists doing their part 119 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: because oftentimes in the County of Los Angeles, one of 120 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: La City of La is one of eighty eight cities. 121 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: The other eighty seven cities rather are not doing their part. 122 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: And you also have a court ruling that indicates that 123 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: states that we cannot enforce any law unless the individual 124 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: on the street is offered a safer place to go. 125 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: And yah, yeah, that is again you have city attorneys 126 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: like ours in the city of LA's you know, doesn't 127 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: have the spine to push back against EAD activists. And 128 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: in the case here in La in the state of California, 129 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: it's the largest homeless population in the country. So yes, 130 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: come to California, come tell a pitch attent not be 131 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: held accountable, and just wait for your apartment. So this 132 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: is why, Yeah, what we've been caught up in. It's 133 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: just astounding to me because it's not just California. It's 134 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: the West Coast. It's from Seattle all the way down 135 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: to San Diego, and you don't see it. You go 136 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: to any other major city in America and you don't. 137 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: There are homeless people everywhere, but you don't have them 138 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: like you have them here. And some of those places, 139 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: like Florida, for example, have decent weather through part of 140 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: the year. And I know it is a complicated problem 141 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: with many many solutions necessary. And I know we got 142 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: an off track here because I was supposed to ask 143 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: you about Karen Bass and Recruso, But this is the 144 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: number one issue that I think the city faces. If 145 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: people who come to visit Los Angeles are saying, what 146 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: is you drive to? What is going on here? And 147 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: I know there's drug and alcohol addiction, and there's mental 148 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: health issues, and there's all sorts of things. But I 149 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: hope who ever gets selected is willing to take on 150 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: the special interests and sometimes be mean. Be compassionate, but 151 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: sometimes be mean. Such accountability, that's all we ask for. 152 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: And going back to how we started this conversation when 153 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: we talk about how different Recrusio and care masses on 154 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: trust and homelessness. You know, Karen Bass has been on 155 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: record stating that she cannot fix a homeless issue within 156 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: the four years. She's on record saying that, so Caruso 157 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: will and and Karen won't. She'll talk about the root 158 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: causes of homelessness, whereas we Dan well know what the 159 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: root causes of homelessness are and it's not all about housing, 160 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: as you indicated, mental health, drug addiction. The county needs 161 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: to step up, counties up and down the state of California. 162 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: We need to lead with urgency, with compassion, but also accountability. 163 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: We cannot allow people to destroy themselves on the streets, 164 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: when a better place for them, when there's a better 165 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: option for them.

And the 174 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: legal issues, as always when you're that rich, are fast 175 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: and furious, and the people who lost money on doge 176 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: coin are really really angry that he called it a hustle. 177 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: Jane Wells filling in for John and Kim k If. 178 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: I am six forty Jane Wells dot Bulletin dot com 179 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: with my business newsletter called Wells Street filling in for 180 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: John and Ken Producer Ray just handing me who came 181 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: before King Charles? The Third Life and Death of King 182 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: Charles the First and second? Oh yeah, we got Look, 183 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: there's other stuff to talk about I know, and but 184 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: she was the most famous woman in the world. I 185 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: would put her up there, more famous than you know, 186 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: Oprah or Kim Kardashian. They're the most famous family in 187 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: the world. And it's just as I have said repeatedly, 188 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: the money they brought in in tourism to that country 189 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: more than offset whatever the taxpayers have had to shell out. 190 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: They've just are the masters of pr Charles, not his mother. 191 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: But I think, you know, we will see what happens. 192 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: He's seventy three years old, he'll probably be on the 193 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: probably be on the throne twenty years, given the longevity 194 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: of that family, and then we will have King William, 195 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: although William may not. You don't have to keep your name. 196 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: Elizabeth the second kind of broke with tradition there by 197 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: keeping her name, and now her son has followed in 198 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: her shoes. But Queen Elizabeth, speaking of Kim Kardashian, did 199 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: break the Internet today. Twitter had some outages after news 200 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: of her passing broke as everybody you know had a cow. 201 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: But also weighing in is Elon Musk, the world's richest man, 202 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: who has posted and arrest in piece or replied to 203 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: some tweet. He's got like one hundred and five million 204 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Twitter followers now, and he can move He can move things. 205 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: You know, people used to say that Trump would move 206 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: the market with a tweet. No, Elon Musk can move 207 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: the market with a tweet. And that is one of 208 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: the reasons. He is now facing a lawsuit and that 209 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: is expanding. It is a lawsuit that is trying to 210 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: I think reach class action status, a racketeering lawsuit accusing 211 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: him of running a quote pyramids game to support the 212 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency dogecoin. It has added new investors and it's now 213 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: suing more defendants, including all of his companies, including boring companies. Basically, 214 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: what these investors are saying that Elon hyped dogecoin, drove 215 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: it up more than thirty six thousand percent over two years, 216 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: and then quote let it crash. So dogecoin, which is 217 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: now worth about six cents per doge if you were 218 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: to convert it into dollars, peeked around seventy four cents 219 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: May a year ago. As Elon you know, look, if 220 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: you're investing because Elon Musk is making a joke about 221 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: you know, shiba Inu or doge on Twitter, I don't 222 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: have a lot of sympathy for you. But they're claiming 223 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: that after he went on Saturday Night Live and said this, 224 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: the value plummeted. Here it is. My question is what 225 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: is dogeclad? You asked. It's a good question. Well, it's 226 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: a future of currency. It's an unstoppable financial vehicle. It's 227 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: going to take over the world. I get that, But 228 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: what is it? Man? I keep telling you it's a 229 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency you can trade for conventional money. Oh so it's 230 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: a hustle. Yeah, that's awesome, everybody. So after that people 231 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: started selling doge, not because they were probably surprised that 232 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: it was a hustle, but that they realized it was 233 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: going to lose value. And these people who were quote 234 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: diamond hands meaning they never give up and expecting it 235 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: to the moon, lost a lot of money. And they're 236 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: saying basically that they're calling it a racketeering lawsuit. Now 237 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: it seems to me, and I'm not an attorney, that 238 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: he would have to profit from this. And they're claiming 239 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: that the defendants, meaning Musk and his company's profited tens 240 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars. But I have yet to see 241 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: any proof that Elon sould doge going into his Saturday 242 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: Night Live appearance. So if this was some sort of 243 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: pump and dump scheme of his, I'm not seeing the 244 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: proof of it yet. And I think you have a 245 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: pretty tall heel to climb to claim that a guy 246 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: who's joking around on Twitter, which you don't think it's 247 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: a joke, cost you money. You know, good luck. He 248 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: has a pretty good track record in court. We will 249 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: have to see what his lawsuit with Twitter and a 250 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: counter lawsuit is. He's that's going on in the latest 251 00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: and that right now, for those of you who don't know, 252 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: Last April, Elon Musk said I'm going to buy Twitter, 253 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: and the stock shot up and the price was going 254 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: to be forty four billion dollars. And I like, I 255 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: never thought he really wanted to buy Twitter. I think 256 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: he was just trying to make Twitter better. But gee, 257 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: shockingly enough, he got cold feet and tried to pull 258 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: out of it, saying Twitter wasn't being honest about its 259 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: fake user accounts. Twitter sued for forty four billion, He's countersuing. 260 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: They've been in court and Delaware as they moved forward 261 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: with this, he wanted to trial delay because now this 262 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: whistleblower has come along and said Twitters as several breaches 263 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: of security had ignored, while street journals now reporting this 264 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: whistleblower was paid seven million in a June settlement and 265 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: so but yet this information still came out about Twitter, 266 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: not really relevant to the fake accounts. But the latest 267 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: is that the judge is slammed Elon for not handing 268 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: over all his texts. He was supposed to hand out 269 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: all his text messages over this Twitter thing. It became 270 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: clear he didn't because text messages from the other side 271 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: came to light showing hit conversations with him that the 272 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: judge hadn't received from Elon's side. So she's ticked off 273 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: about that, and it's pretty bad when you've ticked off 274 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: the judge. But again, Elon has a pretty good track 275 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: record in court. We'll have to see if he's forced 276 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: to buy Twitter and at what price. But what was 277 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: interesting about the text messages that were revealed, and this 278 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: came out today that he said in these messages in 279 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: May to a bankrupt Morgan Stanley, which was helping to 280 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: finance part of the Twitter deal, that he wanted to 281 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: slow it down because Putin was about to give a 282 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: speech quote. Let's slow down just a few days. Reading 283 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: out the text message Putin's speech tomorrow is really important. 284 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: It won't make sense to buy Twitter if we're heading 285 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: into World War three. Well, that is not the reason 286 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: he pulled out of the Twitter deal. He pulled out 287 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: of the Twitter deal because he came up with this 288 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: while you're lying to me about fake accounts. So whether 289 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: this means anything, his attorneys are saying no, this is 290 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: taken out a context. Bottom line, this will be the 291 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: biggest test of the richest man in the world in court. 292 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: You know, he won the case against the guy he 293 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: who will sued him for lie, but when he called 294 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: him a pedophile over the cave rescue of the Thaie 295 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: soccer team, you know he's got I think he's going 296 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: to win a suit against these dogecoin people who lost 297 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: money because there's no proof of some sort of conspiracy 298 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: that he was pumping the stock in order to dump 299 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: it at their expense. This Twitter thing, I don't know, 300 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: I tend to think, and I am not a lawyer 301 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: or an expert, but my spidey sense tells me, having 302 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: covered a lot of these lawsuits, he's just going to 303 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: have to pay more than the one billion dollar breakup fee. 304 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: But Twitter wants this case over sooner rather than later 305 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: because it's stock has lost about twenty four percent of 306 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: the value since this happened. All right, I hope I 307 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: didn't confuse it. When we come back, we'll talk about 308 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: the story of the day, the latest on Queen Elizabeth, 309 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: the seconds passing, what happens now there's this whole timeline 310 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: and ceremony. What happens over the next ten days and 311 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: then later this hour. Would you rent a stranger's pool 312 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: on a hot day? Would you rent your pool out 313 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: to strangers on a hot day? One of the fastest 314 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: growing sharing economy apps out there. It is an amazing story. 315 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: A friend of mine's making five thousand dollars a month 316 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: renting out a pool. Jane Wells filling in for John 317 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: and Ken k If. I am six forty. It's been 318 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: like a year since I've been in here. In fact, 319 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: animals walked in the Petros and Muddy Show instead of 320 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: this booth. It's a little confusing, and I talk too 321 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: fast when I haven't done this in a while. I 322 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: get so excited. I just need to know Mark Ron 323 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 1: or maybe you can give me something. I just need 324 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: to kind of slow down. Now You're doing fine, but 325 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: it is a little bit like a rat maze in 326 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: here lately with some construction going on, it's hard to 327 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: kind of find your way to where you need to be. 328 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: Yesterday the elevators were closed and I could barely find 329 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: my way out of the building. I thought, you're gonna say, 330 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: I sounded like I'm in a rat maze, which is 331 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: also possibly true. In the next hour, we are going 332 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: to speak with Alex Stone about the murder of this 333 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: journalist in Las Vegas, and a local politician or elected 334 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: official is in custody. A crazy, crazy story. But the 335 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: story of the day is the passing of Queen Elizabeth 336 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: the Second, the forty first. Monarch Charles, excuse me, King 337 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: Charles the Third is the forty first. She was fortieth 338 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: over nearly a thousand years. We're going back to William 339 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: the Conqueror in ten sixty six, who, by the way, 340 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: wasn't English, came across from France, never spoke English, the 341 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: guy who pulled together the British Kingdom did not even 342 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: speak the language, and now his forty first air. If 343 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: there actually is a drop of blood in William, the 344 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: conquerors of and Charles's veins. Who knows, because I always 345 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: felt the Windsors were more German than English. But that's 346 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: another story. So what happens over the next ten days, 347 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: And according to the London Daily Mirror, there is a 348 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: whole it's all laid out, you know, this hall pomp 349 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: and circumstance and ceremony that has to be happened. On 350 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: the day the Queen dies, which is today. According to them, 351 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: there will be a message delivered by her Private Secretary 352 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: and sent to members of the Privy Council Office, MP's 353 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: and senior civil servants will receive a call and an 354 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: email stating, dear colleagues, it is with sadness that I 355 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: write to inform you of the death of Her Majesty 356 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: the Queen. Then it says on here. On that day, 357 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: King Charles is supposed to address the nation on television. No, 358 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: he did tweet out a statement, but a very nice statement, 359 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: King Charles, but he is not as far as no, 360 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: there's been no television broadcast yet. The Prime Minister is 361 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: supposed to hold an audience with Charles. I don't think 362 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: that quite happened yet, because they're all in Scotland and 363 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: she's at ten Downing Street. Starting tomorrow the following morning, 364 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: members of the Accession Council will name Charles the new King. 365 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: Will he already? I mean they can do that, but 366 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: he is already. The minute his mother took her last 367 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: breath and the next breath he took it was his 368 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: first as a king, and her coffin will be brought 369 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: to Buckingham Palace. That will probably not happen tomorrow. I 370 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: have heard reports that she will lie in state up 371 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: about Moral for a few days and then they will 372 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: bring her south to Buckingham Palace. On the day's three 373 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: and four, according to what is tradition or what was planned, 374 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: King Charles sets off on his first UK tour. He 375 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: will visit the Scottish Parliament and Saint Giles Saint Giles 376 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: Cathedral in Edinburgh, the Northern Ireland's Hillsborough Castle, and a 377 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: service at Saint Anne's Cathedral in Belfast. Down in London. 378 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: Meticulous rehearsals for the funeral will be taking place day five, 379 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: a procession will begin, moving from Buckingham Palace and ending 380 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: at the Houses of Parliament ahead of a service that 381 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: will be held at Westminster Hall. The Queen will then 382 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: lie in state for three days as members of the 383 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: public are given access to see her Coffin day six 384 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: to nine, King Charles will visit Wales in the Parliament, 385 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: there a service in the cathedral air. The Government at 386 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: this point will be putting finishing touches to their plans 387 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: for the day of the funeral as hundreds of thousands 388 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: of mourners flocked to the street, and finally, on day 389 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: ten will be the Queen's funeral, there will be a 390 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: committal service held at Saint George's Chapel. Employers will not 391 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: be obligated to give staff a day off, though it 392 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: will be a national day, a day of national mourning, 393 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: and there will be a two minute silence held across Britain. 394 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: The funeral take place at Westminster Abbey, followed by a 395 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: committal service at Saint George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where 396 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth the Second will be buried in the King 397 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: George the Fourth Memorial Chapel. Earlier today, I mean I 398 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: have argued that the three greatest monarchs in the forty 399 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: one that have ruled Britain England have been women. Whether 400 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: it was Elizabeth the First, who ruled for forty five years, 401 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: Queen Victoria, who ruled for sixty three years, where it 402 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,719 Speaker 1: became the sun never set on the British Empire. Of 403 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: course that changed, and now Elizabeth the Second for seventy years. 404 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: So Charles has kept his name, Elizabeth kept her name. 405 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: That's not always the case. Elizabeth's father I think he 406 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: was an Albert and he changed to George. So here's 407 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: the story out of the New York Post which caught 408 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: our eye. The new King of England, King Charles the Third, 409 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: is a moniker. He once reportedly considered rejecting to avoid 410 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: links to the bloody and turbulent history of Charles the 411 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: First and Charles the Second. Now Charles was I think 412 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: the two two generations removed from Elizabeth the First. He 413 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: ruled from sixteen twenty five to sixteen forty nine. He 414 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: led the country through a bloody civil war. Remains the 415 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: only English monarch to be executed. Oliver Cromwell had him 416 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: beheaded in sixteen forty nine. Now, his son Charles the Second, 417 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: who was immediately king but Cromwell was running the show, 418 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: spent about twenty years in exile until Cromwell was beheaded 419 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 1: in sixteen fifty eight, and then he returned to England. 420 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: So the name Charles is tinged with so much sadness, 421 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: said one trusted friend. Said back in two thousand and five, 422 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: when allegedly Charles was considering changing his name to George 423 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: the seventh to honor his grandfather George the sixth, Now 424 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: days after that reporting happened in two thousand and five, 425 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: Charles's or the Royal Palace said no, this is not 426 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: Charles never considered changing his name. It was always going 427 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: to be Charles, and in fact that is the case. 428 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: He is King Charles the third, and over the next 429 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: few days he will begin a royal tour with this 430 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: new title. Oh my gosh, with Queen Consort Camilla. I 431 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: want to play and sort of looking forward. What the 432 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: new prime minister who just met Queen Elizabeth two days ago, Well, 433 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: I don't know if his first time she met her, 434 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: but met with her. In the Queen's last official act, 435 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: a Liz Trust had this to say outside ten Downing Street. Today, 436 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: today the crown passes as it has done for more 437 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: than a thousand years, to our new monarch, our new 438 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: head of state, his Majesty King Charles the Third, with 439 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: the King's family, we mourn the loss of his mother, 440 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: and as we mourn, we must come together as a 441 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: people to support him, to help him bear the awesome 442 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: responsibility that he now carries for us all. We offer 443 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted 444 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: so much to so many for so long. And with 445 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: the passing of the Second Elizabethan Age, we usher in 446 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, 447 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: exactly as her Majesty would have wished. By saying the 448 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: words God saved the king. Now that's a phrase they 449 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: haven't heard in Britain in seventy years since shortly after 450 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: the end of World War Two, where King George the 451 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: sixth and his wife stayed in London during the Blitz, 452 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: and it just an amazing time. And now, at seventy 453 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: three years old, King Charles is the oldest man to 454 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: assume the crown this first year. And so we'll see, 455 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, good jeans in that family. And 456 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: maybe a while before William gets there, so many people thought, oh, 457 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: maybe Charles will say, hey, you know, we'll take a 458 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: passless No no, no, no, no, he's been waiting a 459 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: very long time, a very long time, and I think 460 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: the country has sort of turned around and started to 461 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: accept him again much more in the years that have 462 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: passed since Diana died and all the ugliness that came 463 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,239 Speaker 1: out of that. I just want to add one thing 464 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: about Liz trust By the way, England's had three fantastic 465 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: queens and now on its third female prime minister. Oh America, 466 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: come on, of course, we don't have a lot of 467 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: great choices when it's come to those who actually throw 468 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: their hat in the ring. I mean, our vice president 469 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: has a hard job, trying hard time doing the vice 470 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 1: president thing. You know what I mean, Liz trust If 471 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: you were to tweet at Liz trust, it is not 472 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: Liz Trust, it's some woman named Liz Trustle And all 473 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: these heads of state over the last few days have 474 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: been congratulating her, including the head of the Swedish government. 475 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: And this woman, this Liz Trussell, has been having a blast. 476 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: She said, thanks, I can't wait to get over there please, 477 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, get the meatballs ready. I've been shopping at Ikea. 478 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: It's hysterical. But she has been a good sport about it, 479 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: and she has been silent today. It's not a day 480 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: too much for jokes. When we come back, would you 481 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: rent your swimming pool out to strangers? Take on the 482 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: liability for thousands of dollars a month? A friend of 483 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: mine has done it. We're going to talk about Swimpy 484 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: Jane Wells filling in for John and Kink. If I 485 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: am six forty, I'm continuing to watch with the latest 486 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: news coming out of London and elsewhere. The tributes are 487 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: coming in for a Queen Elizabeth the Second as she 488 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: passes at the age of ninety six. She was born 489 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: in the same year as my mother. Ozzy Osbourne is 490 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: performing at the Rams Bills game tonight, where I'm hearing 491 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: there's going to be a moment of silence.

I think 497 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 1: that would just bring down the house. That a house 498 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: full of Ram's house full of tens of thousands of 499 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: people who are so happy we throwed off through Off 500 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: the monarchy nearly two hundred fifty years ago. We'll be 501 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: standing and crying as Ozzy Osbourne. He may cry, he 502 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: may be a blubbering idiot, you know who can you know? 503 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: He's azzy, He's been through a lot, all right. One 504 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: of the ways I get paid is through Meta, which 505 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: owns Facebook. They pay me to write a bulletin called 506 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: Wells Street. It's at Jane Wells Do Bulletin dot com 507 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: is a business column where they allow me to write 508 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: whatever I want to write about as long as it's 509 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: you know, money related, and everything's money related. This is 510 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: the facts everything, every story, every story is a money 511 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: story if you will just look at it, and you 512 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: need to follow the money to find the truth. Well, 513 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: one of the most fascinating stories because I'm always looking 514 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: for a way, you know, to make a couple of 515 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: extra books. There is this app called Swimple, which is 516 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: like the Airbnb for swimming pools. It's only been out 517 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: for a couple of years, but it has really taken off. 518 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: In fact, they've moved their headquarters to Los Angeles, which 519 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: is their number one market, and in it about twenty 520 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: five thousand people who own swimming pools. Mostly in the 521 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: United States, you can rent their pools, and a million 522 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: people have done it for I don't know, sixty dollars 523 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: an hour, sometimes thirty dollars an hour, sometimes one hundred 524 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: dollars an hour, depending on what the amenities are. And 525 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: a friend of mine, Jennifer Lloyd, who lives here nearby, 526 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: she makes five thousand dollars a month swimming renting out 527 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: her swimming pool this summer. Now she only does it 528 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: from about May through you know who knows, October. But 529 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: she's making money hand to her fist. And you think, well, 530 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: what about the liability, Well, you know, swimply the company 531 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: provides homeowners with a million dollars in general liability, which 532 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: isn't going to cover you if somebody dies, but we'll 533 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,239 Speaker 1: cover maybe if somebody breaks it. Y egg. So she 534 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: tries to reduce her negligence factor by keeping the water 535 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: crystal clear and removing anything that people might trip over. 536 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: But if you go to her house, which she rents 537 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: usually for about yes to seventy dollars an hour, depending 538 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: you'll get free access to a bathroom, a grill, she's 539 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: got floaty toys, she's got you know, a charging station shuffleboard, 540 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: which has turned out to be great because people will 541 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: extend their stay. So I went over there a couple 542 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: weekends ago to see what the deal was, and there 543 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: was a group of people there, Erica Schweizmann and her 544 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: and her friends, six adults, two kids, and a dog. 545 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: They paid together seven hundred dollars to rent her pool 546 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: for five hours. Seven hundred dollars. I said, you know, 547 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: for that price, you guys could have gone to Disneyland, 548 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: and she told me, I don't you know, do you 549 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 1: want to go to Disneyland? Was one hundred and five 550 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: degrees no, and she said, oh no, ye don't want 551 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: to be in a big, sweaty Disneyland. This way, you 552 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: have a pool for the day, have a party, you 553 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: keep it chill. Jennifer has some rules. If you're screaming, 554 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 1: she will tell you to stop it. Because she does 555 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: have neighbors and that's kind of a big deal. The 556 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: CEO told me you need to have good conversations with 557 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,719 Speaker 1: your neighbors, and they have a complaint page on their 558 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: website for neighbors to complain if you're too loud. But 559 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: they had a great time, and I thought, so I 560 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: interviewed the CEO, a guy named Bonham Laskin, who was 561 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: training you're not going to believe it to be a 562 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: rabbi in Israel when his mom had her I don't know, 563 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: twelfth child, and so he ended up like renting the 564 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: neighbor's pool, and then people started asking him to rent 565 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: the pool out for them, and boom. This is how 566 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: it happens, people, This is how it happens. This is 567 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: how you become the new tech superstar is through thinking like, wow, 568 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,959 Speaker 1: maybe there's a business here. He's managed to he went 569 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: on Shark Tank, got rejected. He's raised fifty million dollars since, 570 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: and he's making the company is making eight figures a 571 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: month right now. So that is over ten million dollars 572 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: a month in revenues in several markets that they are in. 573 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: So I think it's an amazing story. I have a pool, 574 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: but I will not rent it out for two reasons. One, 575 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: I don't really have a bathroom you could easily access. 576 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: I'm too afraid of the liability. And I wouldn't want 577 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: to tick my neighbors off. A guy's in the booth. Anybody, 578 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: anybody mark questions? I had this speaking of pool floatings. 579 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: Do they clean it between the users? Oh? Yes, no, 580 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: she they've invest Yes, they've invested also an extra chemical. 581 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: She's out there cleaning the pool twice a day. You 582 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: should see her schedule. It is back to back to 583 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: back back. Her husband sometime wants to go. He'll be 584 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: out floating in the pool. She's like, you gotta get 585 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: out there. We have people coming. I'm gonna get this clean. 586 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: And he's like, but I want to enjoy the pool. 587 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: She says, look, you know, how about you know we're 588 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: gonna make two hundred dollars on these people. He's like, Okay, 589 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm out. Plus, the pool's great for people who don't 590 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: want to be gone goat in public. Maybe they have 591 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: body issues or prosthetics and they're uncomfortable being seen. It's 592 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 1: it's a fascinating story. Do you have any other questions? Well, 593 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: it just can't reminds me of using somebody's bathwater after 594 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: they're finished. You want that stuff clean right, well, and 595 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: you know what happens in a pool. I don't care, yes, 596 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: but you know that anyhow, if you go to a 597 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: public pool, um, you know, I mean the ocean. But 598 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: the ocean's a big, big, toilet, so it diffuses pretty quickly. 599 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: But you know, I see Eric, what do you think? Well, 600 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: I just have a question, why don't if they're making 601 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: so much money, like extra money from renting out the pool, 602 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: why does your friend have to do all of the 603 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: cleaning of the pool. Why can't they hire a pool guy? 604 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: That's she's like a lot of hire a pool guy. 605 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: But if you have somebody in the pool, if you 606 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: have three parties in a day, the pool guy's not 607 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: coming over, so she's out there cleaning in between. The 608 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: pool guy comes once a week, by the way, she 609 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,479 Speaker 1: also right price, he might come they also, by the way, 610 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: she has an extra room which she does Airbnb. She's 611 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: making money like right left, right left. But Erica, the 612 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: woman I talked to, made a good point. She said, well, 613 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, some of these places are so expensive you 614 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: might as well get an Airbnb with a pool and 615 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: then you get the whole house. So it I just think, 616 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: why can't What is the next thing we can share? 617 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: Like would you like to borrow my wash or dryer? 618 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: I'll do you know washbley excuse me if I hit? 619 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 1: Or would you like to borrow my shoes?
