Transcript

You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. How about include a good call your host, Amy King. This is your wake up Call, fourth Thursday, August twenty four. Good morning, I'm a Me King. Okay, I just have to say I think that was so cool as Todd lights from the La

Dodgers. As you may recall, we got to go out to Dodger Stadium and do a little behind the scenes and got to meet Todd and he was kind enough to do that, So I thought that was kind of kind of cool. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Four people have been killed in a shooting at a biker bar in Tribuco Canyon, Ocie. Sheriff's officials to the shooter was a retired law enforcement officer. He was shot and killed

by deputies. Eight Republican candidates for president faced off last night in the first debate of the twenty four twenty four campaign. We're gonna talk with five thirty eights Elliott Morris in a minute to find out who one who lost and what it all means. Lizzo says she's planning to file a lawsuit against the same backup dancers who are suing her. Three or her former dancers filed suit against

the singer earlier this month, accusing her of sexual harassment. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Four people in Orange County have been killed six were injured in a mass shooting at a biker bar in Tribuco Canyon. First Department says nine dispatchers could hear shots fired in the background as multiple people called to report a shooting at Cook's Corner. Sergeant Frank Gonzale says call started coming in last night about seven o

four. At seven o six pm, our first deputies arrived on scene and about seven o eight pm, our deputy's contact at a male's subject. It was armed with a gun. A deputy involved, shooting occurred and the male subject was pronounced to cease at the scene. Investigators say at least thirty to

forty people were witnesses at the bar at the time of the shooting. Intribuco Canyon, Corbin Carson, k if I news A woman accused of spitting on a security guard at a grocery store and Lancaster will not face assault or shoplifting charges. The La County DA's office says it declined to file against jac Houston and Damon Barnes. On June twenty fourth, the husband and wife were seen inside of Wincofoods on West Avenue K and video shows Houston lowering her face mask

and spitting on an employee, then pushing him aside. Moments later, in Elle County sheriff's deputy arrived and arrested Barnes, and in the process, Houston approached the deputy while shouting at him. Then the deputy took her to the pavement. Sheriff Luna called the deputy's actions disturbing and started an internal investigation.

Steve Gregory Knifey News Criminal charges have been filed against an La County Sheriff's deputy who was off duty when he allegedly tried to cover up a fellow deputy's drunk driving crash and Stevenson Ranch. Prosecutors say the deputy pulled his colleague out of a patrol car last summer and put him in his wife's car to drive him home. They say the deputy then tried to move the car before someone driving

past reported him. He was relieved of duty Tuesday and is said to be arraigned on accounts of conspiracy to obstruct justice, giving false information to an officer, and obstructing an investigation. The other deputy was charged earlier this year with driving under the influence. The first Republican debate for twenty twenty four started with discussions of climate change related to recent wildfires on Maui and tropical Storm Hillary here

in southern California. Former South Carolina Governor NICKI Hailey said the US has to do its part to fight climate change, but it's not just our responsibilities. Climate change real, yes, it is, but if you go and really change the environment, then we need to start telling China in India that they have to lower their emissions. She says President Biden's climate policies are helping China buy putting money in their pockets. Another candidate, Vivic Ramaswamy, says the

climate change agenda is a hoax. The leader of the Wagner Mercenary group, who led a mutiny in Russia in June, has been killed in a jet crash. This was a plane that took off from Moscow and if you look at the flight data that we can see online. Everything seems to be going normally. It took off, it was flying, and then all of a sudden, it pretty much just drops out of the sky. ABC's kiret Rodya

says, Russia's Civil Aviation Agency confirmed, you have Guinny Pergosian. Six top lieutenants and three crew members were on board the business jet that crashed yesterday in a field north of Moscow. President Biden was asked about the crash and said nothing happens in Russia without President Putin knowing about it. The crash happened after Russian media report at a top general link to Progosian had been dismissed as commander

of the Air Force. Krispy Kream is offering Pupkin spice Doggie donuts to celebrate National Dog Day. Officials say the donut shaped biscuits will come in multiple flavors, including Pupkin spice get it, Original glazed, Pupkin spice Cake, Pupkin Spice, Maple Peanut, and Pupkin spice Cheesecake squirrel Nope, not squirrel Swirl. They say the treats are made with pumpkin peanut, butter and carab and are good for dogs of all sizes and ages. Dog owners can snag the

treats from Sunday through August thirty. First, it's a five or six on wake up call. Let's say good morning now to five thirty eight. Elliott Morris, the editorial director of Data Analytics. Big title that means he knows a lot. Elliot, the first Republican Debate is in the books five thirty eighths a place to go to break it all down. So break it down for us, who won, who lost doesn't mean anything. Well, unfortunately for the numbers point of view. My answers that people have to wait,

They have to wait and see. And I know that's not a totally satisfying answer, but I'll explain myself here. And the big things to people to remember is that polls take a while to reflect how people feel. That's the big that's a big lesson from our study of primary polls over the last forty years. You'll see stuff like this Drudge Report instant poll. It's the survey calling itself a poll, but it's really just the Drudge asking readers at Drudge's

website how they felt about the debate. So it's important for people to know that these surveys aren't super representative and that they have to wait for better data later. And again, I know no one like to wait, but it's just the best thing to do if you don't want to wait one or two weeks, which is what I normally recommend waiting after a big debate to look at the polling averages. Five thirty eight partner with IPSOS and the Washington Post

on a survey of the same group of Americans. We have them pre and debate how they feel the candidates did, if they've changed their vote intention for them, or if they've considered voting for someone they weren't considering before, that sort of thing. I mean, those results come out today around midday, around two o'clock. Hopefully they're as interesting as I'm promising that they'll be. Okay, So from your initial observations, do you traditionally see the needle move

at all after a debate like this. I know we have to wait for the results, but just traditionally, oh yeah, the biggest there are two big events in primary election campaign. There's people actually voting, like an Iowa caucus or a New Hampshire primary that sort of thing, and then there is a debate, So last night's performance is bound to be really important for at least one candidate. We should have to wait before we make any proclamations about

who actually won or lost. There are a couple of theories based off of original polling data. Before the debate, It's like sixty percent of Republicans told us they didn't know who the Vekee Ramaswamy was. He's an entrepreneur running for the Republican nomination, and he was in the center of the debate last night, both physically and metaphorically. He was attacked a lot by his opponents,

and he definitely did his own fair share of attacking them as well. Very young, he as an outsider, so he drew those sorts of punches quite frequently. Really, all he had to do was get up on that debate stage and say I'm vig here's what I stand for. And he did that. So I think we'll see him rise in the polls if I had to guess, And I think Ronda Santis also will end up coming out of this debate looking pretty well. Also, he didn't make a whole lot of news.

He avoided I think any disastrous performances against the other candidates, and honestly, part of the name of the game of the primary elections just not making any blunders. And he didn't do that last night either. So I'll be watching those two candidates for sure. Do the ones who delivered the zingers tend to score well or is it the ones who provide substance or is there no clear delineation there? Yes, I don't really think we have enough information to

tell. I mean, on the one hand, the zingers can can really matter. People always remember the Walter Mondale Ronald Reagan zinger, where you know, a Reagan says he's not going to make his bigponent's inexperienced part of the campaign. That's a really good singer. And there are a couple of one liners at the debate last night that could emerge. There's Nicky Haley saying to

the Veke he doesn't have any foreign policy experience. There's the Veke telling Chris Christie he's running for a show on NBC, not to beat Brad, not to be president of the United States. So the only you know, the only thing is people already knew all this stuff about these candidates. So there's not necessarily new information. It's it's just sort of repeating of their talking points in the campaign so far. So okay, Really think it's all about the

eyeball in the end today, because what's to do? Well? I bet okay. And if we want to get the early results from the Washington Post IPSOS poll, where when is that going to be out again? At noon? It should be out around two o'clock in the at noon your time in LA on five three day dot com. Okay, great, thank you so much, Elliott Morris, appreciate your time this morning. Can't wait to see the numbers. I love to see debates and all that. All right,

thanks so much. The needles moving, Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former President Trump, who was not at the debate last night, is expected to surrender in Georgia on charges he tried to overturn the state's results in the twenty twenty election. He posted on a social media platform he will proudly be arrested in Georgia.

Trump is expected to be fingerprinted and get his mug shot taken today. He's already agreed to a two hundred thousand dollar bond and other release conditions, including not using social media to target codefendants and witnesses. A parole in LA has been charged with murder for allegedly killing a woman in Pasadena and what police call an apparent case of domestic violence. The guy was on parole for robbery when the woman was killed. Monday. The man surrendered to SWAT officers following an

hour's long standoff inside an apartment. A woman who allegedly admitted to drowning her three children at an apartment in Racida has been ordered to stand trial for murder. The kids were five months, two years, and three years old when they were drowned in twenty twenty one. The baby was also stabbed in the chest. The mom told a reporter she drowned her children because she feared their

abuse and sexual assault at the hands of others. Hundreds of people have rallied outside the federal courthouse in San Francisco to protest in order banning the city from clearing homeless camps until there are more shelter beds than homeless people. We have found debt bodies, we have found a debt baby. In these We have seen people in really awful congestions. San Francisco Mayor London Breed said yesterday the city can no longer maintain safe, clean streets while trying to get homeless people

inside. Some homeless people say they agree with the injunction. They say the city should stop forcing them to move until there are thousands more shelter beds. The Angels show, Hey Otani has pitched his last game the season because of an elbow injury. He left the game last night at Angel Stadium and the second inning. It's not clear if he's going to need surgery to repair a tear in his elbow ligament. Hey, have you noticed a lot of people are tatted up these days? No? Do you have tattoos? I do

not, do not? You know what I don't either. We are the rare ones, I think we well, actually, so overall, one in three Americans now have tattoos, and the majority of the people who have tattoos have more than one. Pew Research Center did a whole study on this, so of that thirty two percent, twenty seven percent of men, and thirty eight percent of women have tattoos. That's kind of surprising to me that more

women than men have tattoos. The age range that has the most tattoos is thirty to forty nine year olds with a high school or less education, lower income, and the sexual orientation of people with tattoos all the ratio is LGBTQ

fifty one percent and straight people fifty one percent. And as for why so many people have tattoos, the most commonly cited reason was to honor or remember some one or something, and I'm all for that, but I can't commit to anything that long me neither, so that's why I don't have it. Former President Trump's expected to turn himself in and being booked into the Fulton County Jail in Georgia. On his truth social yesterday, he said he is proudly

surrendering this afternoon. Japan has begun releasing treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean. One point three million metric tons of the wastewater will be dumped into the ocean gradually over the next thirty years. Temperatures could top one hundred degrees in Minnesota, and with humidity, it could feel like

up to one hundred twenty degrees from Texas to Florida. As a dangerous heatwave blankets parts of the southern and central US coming up at six OZHO five is Handle on the news, and he's gonna dig a little deeper into the nine people shot at that popular biker bar in Orange County in Tribuco Canyon. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett.

Good morning, Brad. So this was a bit of a shock. Video shows this jet flying through the sky one second, then dropping straight to the ground the next. On board that jet if Genny Progosian, the head of the Wagner Mercenary group who staged a little coup against Vladimir Vladimir Putin. Before we dig into who Progoshen was, is he really dead and was this a surprise? Absolutely, it's no surprise. I'm actually surprised it didn't occur before

two months after his attempted coup. So if anybody thinks that this plane probably crashed on its own, I think that's highly unlikely. Apparently there was a wing in this sing as it was coming to the ground. My guess is some version of an anti aircraft of weapon took it down. Does this, I mean, does this make Putin look stronger or more weak because he I mean, everybody's saying Putin probably orchestrated this. It'd be shocked if he didn't

orchestrate this. He was in a world of an eye for an eye, and it's a wrong man mentality. I mean, he's not bashful about killing off people, from poisoning to falling out of windows. I mean it goes on and on to do this in a little bit more spectacular way. I mean it took out at least the second in command and maybe even the third command of the Wagner group in this plane. So he made a big statement in that regard that if you mess with me, this is what happens.

Okay. So, and of course prog had the mutiny where he said we're heading into Moscow and then then they backed down. So should we be sad that this guy is gone, because I mean, he was sort of like a I wouldn't say a hero, but everybody's like, wow, go Progosian, you're fighting back against Putin. But he's not exactly an exemplary citizen. He's on the FBI's ten most wanted list. Let's start with that, all right, And then and then move on to that. The Wagner Groups been

classified by our Treasury Department as a transnational criminal organization. That's how we label drug cartels. I mean we're talking murder, human rights, robbery, rape. The Wagner Group is all over Africa making putin billions of dollars. I mean quickly, they went into the Central African Republic to help the autocrats stay in power. They fought with his military for a period of time. Then they got the mineral rights to gold and other minerals in that country, which

apparently pull in billions of dollars. Some believe that alone is helping fund the Ukrainian war. So all the sanctions that we've slept on Russia not necessarily that effective because there are other streams of revenue coming in thanks to the Wagner Group. That is correct. The question now is can the Wagner Group even continue to function. I mean they apparently got banished Belarus next door. That's the president of that country is a big buddy with Putin as to what they're going

to be at this point. I mean Pregos, you know, was the kingpin here. So we'll see and where where were that money flows? It's still going to come in like it has so, and like you mentioned, the future of the Wagner Group, it could be in jeopardy because you know, when he said let's go to Moscow, they followed, and when he said okay, stopped, they stopped. So will they follow Putin? I don't know. I mean the bigger question is ken Putin find somebody that they

will respect that will clearly have to follow Putin. I think that's probably all up in the air at this point. I mean, for Putin to replicate what Pregosan was doing would take him a lot of years. But I can't underestimate the amount of money that Progo has pulled for Russia over the last roughly fifteen years, and that's got to have a big financial bite. I would think in the short term for Prudin. How many people are in the Wagner Group, because it's a mercenary group, right, Yes, it's a group.

I've seen numbers of twenty five thousand. I've sent bigger numbers. I do know that the neces fairly well published that they were running short on people, and Progotion is even seen going into Russian prisons, recruiting prisoners and giving him giving them a small stipend and if they've survived the war, they wouldn't have to go back to jail. Now, so many of them died because they just put them with the front lines. They weren't trained. I mean,

it's just awful. But the point the point being, I think the manpower probably fluctuates from a month to month. Okay, well, we'll be watching to see what happens, because I just was shocked when I saw that yesterday. And then you see that plane just drop out of the sky, You're like, yeah, not an accident. Thanks booting exact. All right, Thank you so much, Brad Garrett for your insight and analysis. Always appreciated. And we'll talk again soon. Sounds great, Thank you, Amy.

Thanks. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LAPD officers, detectives and lieutenants have a new contract with the city. The council voted twelve three yesterday to approve a four year deal which helps with recruitment and retention. Council members like Tracy Park say the contract is necessary to stay competitive with other police departments, to keep the

police officers we have and to hire the ones we need. Council members who oppose the contracts say they're concerned with the LAPD's bloated budget and a word the city won't be able to fully fund other necessary departments. The man accused of killing a nineteen year old woman taken from a park in Whittier after a shooting has been charged with murder, kidnap, an attempted rape. Andrea Vasquez's body was found Monday in a field of Marino Valley. All seven charges against Gabriel

Asparza include an allegation that he personally used a rifle. Police have said kidnapping or the kidnapping was random. A man convicted of stealing four hundred thousand dollars worth of cars from dealerships in southern California has been senced to eleven years in prison. The state Attorney General's office is the man targeted dealers across several counties between November of twenty twenty one and February twenty twenty two. He used stolen

identities to finance high end vehicles. ATA say a lot of the cars ended up in chop shops in Mexico, and the NCUBAA is facing a defamation lawsuit from former USC running back Reggie Bush. Bush's lawsuit claims the NCAA falsely accused Bush in USC of a paper play scheme. Bush has his lawsuit is about holding the NCAA accountable, which is I think the first time maybe that at

least in my memory, that this is happening. The lawsuit calls for infractions against Bush to be removed so he can get his two thousand and five Heisman Trophy back. Bush's attorneys say the violations the NCAA found were minor and based on questionable testimony at the coliseum. Blake Trolley k if I News. Right

now, What am I on? I'm on streaming shows, series, documentaries, movies, mostly streaming, some network stuff, but a lot of streaming because there's so much out there and who knows what you're gonna watch, So I take recommendations from my friends. I watch stuff. I sit on the couch for hours and hours on end. It's a good excuse for me to be lazy, and then I hopefully share some good ones with you so you can check them out too. Today we're on Star Wars Asoka, which you

don't hear this this particular theme but it is a Star Wars story. So rosar Rio Dawson, most recently seen in Haunted Mansion, she looks a little different Stars It's so they dropped the first two episodes on Tuesday night, and they'll drop another episode each week through the first week on October. I believe

it's eight episodes for this season. And it's sort of along the lines of, you know, it's a Star Wars story like Andor Was, or like the Mandalorian or even Boba Fett. So it it kind of has that feel like classic Star Wars, not like the New Batch with all the action in the movies seven, eight, and nine. The starts a little slow as they try to establish the story because Ahsoka, for me, is a new

character. I know die hard fans who are really into Star Wars know who she is, and I know my my nephew Michael was so excited when they saw her because she appeared I believe in Mandalorian and the Codo's nodding, well, I love the Mandalorian. Okay, did see her in the Mando,

Well that's where so she showed up. But she's been in some of the animated stuff and she's in the Star Wars stories and you find out like in the very first episode, she said, oh, I never finished my training with Anakin Anakin Skywalker who becomes Darth Vaders, or I'm like, oh, there's some cool backstory that we're going to find out about. So they're they're dropping little nuggets to kind of get you interested, but it's hard because you

don't know the characters. So the visual effects are great as always. There is an adorable catlike thing that has dunck feet. It's kind of weird, but it's cute. And then there's also a droid named Chopper who's a spunky little thing and he has arms, like none of the little droids like R two D two have arms. This guy does, so it's kind of fun. So if you like classic Star Wars, I think you're gonna like this.

I'm gonna keep watching it. Again, it's a little bit slow, and my nephew's response was that it's the first time they're trying to bring out the original storytelling and storylines of Star Wars, so he's excited about it. So I recommend it. It's on Disney Plus and again. New episodes will drop on Tuesday. The first two are out Now let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man who killed three people at a biker bar in Tribuco Canyon may have been a

retired law enforcement officer and may have targeted his wife. OC Fire thirty Chief Brian Fantasy says several people were hurt last night during spaghetti night at Cook's Corner. Paramedics treated and transported six people to a local trauma center, five of which had reported gunshot wounds. Two of the six people we transported are in critical condition. The OC Sheriff's Department says multiple deputies were involved in shooting the

man just four minutes after the first nine one one call came in. The shooter is reported to be a retired Ventura Police Department sergeant. Witnesses say the shooter was an older man with a graybeard. One person says the band was playing when the shooting started and he saw a guy with two guns in his hands. He says the guy ran out into the parking lot, got what looked like a rifle or shotgun from a pickup truck, and started shooting again.

This man says he was there, I heard the shots. I heard the deputy, I saw the deputies second cover, and then I saw the much on fire, and I just ran and looked for cover myself. A woman who'd been in the bar later posted photos on social media showing blood smeared on the floor. A person involved in an hour's long standoff with police in Pittsburgh has been killed. Allegheny County's Sheriff Kevin Krauss, as officers were serving

an eviction notice yesterday when the man inside became dangerous. He immediately opened fire on our deputies. They began to take cover return fire, engaged in a pretty significant gun battle. Kraus says they gave the guy every opportunity to surrender before Swat moved in. He says he can't even count the number of shots fired back and forth. The man had a lot of ammunition. A food bank in Orange County has pulled forty eight thousand pounds of cardboard out of landfills

each month to a zero waste Where's the world's first second harvest. Food Bank of OC's Kelly Elisi says the organization bought reusable plastic bins for food and went digital where possible to reduce twenty thousand sheets of paper per year, all to get certified as the world's first zero waste food bank. When we started this, we were at fifty nine percent, and now two years later we are at ninety five point two percent of product not having to go into a landfill.

She says. The rest is reused, reduced, and recycled in Orange County. Corbin Carson k if I News, the man accused of killing Ford University of Idaho students has waived his right to a speedy trial. Officials say the judge gave Brian Coburger until September twenty fifth to make a decision, and yesterday he officially waived his right. That means the trials start date, originally

set for October second, is postponed indefinitely. Apparent of one of the murdered students posted on Facebook before the hearing, expressing concern over how long it would take to begin a trial. Republicans candidates for president have debated over a national abortion ban, among other topics. Former Vice President Penn said last night he would push for a federal fifteen week ban on abortion if he's elected president.

Former South Carolina Governor Nicky Haley argued she is unapologetically pro life, but thinks a national band would never pass Congress. North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham says a ban is unconstitutional and the issue should be left up to states. It may be a final curtain for a teacher at Temecula Valley High School. Greg Bailey has been the entry level drama teacher at the high school for six years.

Recently, Bailey was suspended for offering the Pulitzer Prize winning play Angels in America, which chronicles the AIDS epidemic in the nineteen eighties, as a choice of ten plays to read for a final assignment. During a school board meeting back in May, one parent of a fifteen year old student publicly spoke out, saying that the content of that play disturbed her daughter. The next day, Bailey was suspended. The teacher says that he feels like a chess piece in

a larger battle. Recently, the district has gay national attention for the banning of textbooks that included critical race theory. Andrew Caravella k if I News okay I saw a post yesterday on Instagram of a pumpkin with an eight twenty four carved into it, and I was like, ooh, what does that mean? Well I found out it means Starbucks is launching it's pumpkin spice latte products

for the fall. Today. It's still summer. We have another month to go, but anyway, it's never too early for some pumpkin spice lattees. All right, Okay, Kona, Then I think that you should go get them for the group later. Today they have the Pumpkin Spice Traditional and plus the Pumpkin Cream cold brew that's new. And then there's another one, the Apple Crisp Oatmeal shaken Espresso. Okay, and did you know that Starbucks is

celebrating twenty years of pumpkin spice? So you didn't now Starbucks employee for and you still didn't know that. Okay, way to be involved in your job. Hey. So Starbucks originally, so we're gonna go back twenty years, they wanted to come up with a new fall drink and they're like, what are we going to do? So they had a hundred ideas for its first fall drink, and they put together a little liquid lab and they tasted a

hundred different recipes. Big on the list was anything that had caramel and chocolate. So a couple of the top ones were a maple pecan flavor, there was a honey nut drink, and there was a cranberry chocolate mocha. The pumpkin latte was on the list, but actually almost didn't even make the cut. It almost never happened because while it scored very high and uniqueness when they tested people and asked people about it, people had a very low likelihood of

purchasing it, So it almost didn't make it. And now look at it. I mean, it's the rage everywhere, So welcome to fall. Starbucks is offering its Pumpkin spice menu starting to day. So if you love cars, we have an event for you. It's the San Marino Motor Classic, happening this weekend at Lacy Park. Adam Weiss is one of the organizers of what's been dubbed Southern California's premiere automobile show showcase. And we got a chance

to catch up with Adam as finishing touches or put on the show. What are people going to see when they come out to the show this weekend, Because it's gonna be spectacular. Spectacular is an understatement. We have four hundred and fifty cars out on the field, and it goes from the early cars in the nineteenth century, brass and nickel cars, all the way through the twenties thirties. There will be Ferrari's, Porscha's Corvettes, a huge group of

Lamborghinis, Woodies. So whatever your automotive interests are, they'll be out on the field. We even have a class of thirty two through thirty four four hot rots, and so everybody is there's something for everybody to see. In addition, we have five dealers coming with new cars. Ooh, love to see the new stuff, but love to see the old stuff. Here's one of the old stuff. Now, Aaron, this one belongs to you and

your wife. Yes, tell us about this vehicle. This is a nineteen twenty nine Auburn eight one twenty, So it's an eight cylinder one hundred and twenty horsepower boattail speedster. And this car was predominantly what they call a halo car. What does that mean. That means that it brought people into the show rooms. They might not necessarily buy it, but it got him in the door because it looked so cool. Yes, okay, and then they

put him in something from Peach a little. So it's starting with the upsell and working down. Yeah, that's exactly right. So all of these cars are going to be out at the show this weekend and they're just so in premo condition. How do you keep these cars in this great condition. It's a full time occupation. So we we clean. We have somebody whose job is to keep them absolutely clean. Okay, So when people come out to the show, they're going to see the four hundred vehicles from all different eras.

And you mentioned a couple of the newer cars. Of course, these are all classics and just so great to look at and just a sampling of what you're going to see. But what are some of the newer cars that people are going to see. Well, they're going to see a lot of Ferraris. There will be over one hundred Ferraris in the on the field, and about seventy Porsches, and that is our greatest concentration of cars.

Okay, I want to ruminate on the debate for just a second. A first look at the top eight candidates. Two of them I wasn't even sure who they were was Asa Hutchinson and Doug Bergram, who were on the

end and they didn't get a lot of chance to talk. But center stage was Ronda Santis and Vivek Ramaswamy. He said, who's this guy with the funny name and skinny legs? And I think that's all people really knew about him. But so my overall take on the debate was there there were a lot of voices shouting, there were some good lines, but you don't really get to dig into policy when you have that many people up on this stage.

So I have an idea. I think that when they do debates, they should do it like they do the NC Double A tournament and do it in brackets. So like on one debate you'd have Chris Christi and Asa Hutchinson, and another debate you'd have Ron De Santis and Ramaswamy and whoever won the debate would move on to the next round. I think that way you'd actually get to dig in and hear and see what they have to say and what they really feel about some of their their you know, their policies and that

kind of thing. I think Nicki Haley did an amazing job last night. It was really impressed with her. I thought Vivek did a really good job, although he kindest sounded like a petulant child a couple of times. And I expected Chris Christie to do better because he's really good at debating, but he looked a little out of his element and was, you know, trying

to get the zingers in there, but not so much policy stuff. So this was just the first of many debates, and I know that five thirty eight dot com is going to have summers results on how what people thought about them and whether that's going to move the needle. Of course Trump wasn't there, but we'll have more debates. And I am a total political junkie, so I'll be watching them, all of them a lot, and then talking about them, so I hope you enjoy them too.
