There he is.
You're on The Dream Media, Christopher DeSimone. PickAxe CEO Jeff Dornik from Newport Beach will be calling in in just a few minutes. Followed by Dr. Van Buren will be here talking about the top 10 Sam Neill movies. Sam passed away last week and he had left behind a heck of a body of work. So he only did one quarter of the movies of Sir Michael Caine, but it was still pretty, pretty good. So, so that's happening today. And then we have our friends from Graze Craze. It's a new foodie place in the Cotero-Thornydale shopping center next to Bashaws, between Bashaws and Dominics. And it's an interesting concept where they're doing a variety of charcuterie cheese and other tasty boards that you can just order, buy, take to your house, and have instant entertaining, or, as Tony and I were talking, have a high protein, just have a high protein snack for, have that for dinner. You're going to sit and watch TV. But for parties, it's really amazing. So we met with the husband of this husband and wife team last week, me and Jackson. Very nice guy. Sarai, his wife, was on with Ron. She's very nice. So they'll be here. Tony, I think they're bringing a board so we can, we can hype, we can max, we go, we can mac, we can protein max.
Thank you very much.
I've been driving my family crazy because in the morning, I've DVR-ed on YouTube TV. I always think that the Taken movies with Liam Neeson are some of the funniest. Some of the best comedies ever created is the Taken movies. But I think my new Taken for 2026, it's been out for a couple of years, but for some reason, it's now just on my radar. I started watching one morning before the show, The Beekeeper with Jason Statham. My word. The idea that he stays in beekeeper form and that voice, gotta use the fire and the smoke to get rid of the hornets. I'm like, this guy is on. The idea that he hid his sat phone in the honey is, I was like, that is unbelievable. I'm going to be talking like the beekeeper for the next few days. Just let everyone know that.

**SPEAKER_1** (3:31)
I'm the beekeeper. We're going to take care of the hive.

Stories today, we might get to the Elon Musk interview with the Economist editor, which was a hoot. Just like a place somewhere south of river, numbers of homeless people in LA rising despite spending billions on it. We'll have an actual report on that TV report.
In a press conference that is getting obliterated on the socials. City county leaders host gun violence discussion. They are trippling down on They Don't Suck. It is the best. The recall against angry Chris Nanos fell short, which was always going to be a difficult lift. You had to do 125,000 or so and they got 30
If you are going to do 125,000, like I told you, it's just tough. You got to start before you file the paperwork, because once you file the paperwork, the clock starts ticking and it gets really tough. Then you ran it right as we started getting into an election season for primaries, and that took everyone else's, anyone who gave a crap doing this, maybe even circulating petitions on the Republican side to, they were, they took, they were, that was not important. So Pima County is, we know they don't lead in job, and we know Pima County doesn't lead in any kind of job creation. We know they lead in crackheads and crime and those things, but we now have record bat exposures and somehow TMC has people seeking treatment for bat exposures. They treated 20 just in the last week administering rabies vaccines.
Whether that means the bats are in your house or in a pool that they've been in, we've had 194 bat exposures in Pima County since the beginning of the year. Who knew?
So we got that going for us.
Where the jury is considering the verdict right now of the murder of Christina's beloved wife, Paul Clifford. That's going on right now. We've got to get to the ASDB story before it's over. And then I do have some Common Sense Institute graphs and pictures that I sent Tony today. We're going to do some graphs and pictures if we have time today.
