Ventura County is expecting rain and high winds brought on by Hurricane Hillary. Julie Ryan has more.

3 women missing in Mexico after crossing from Texas on trip
"Three Texas women have been reported missing in Mexico and their families are asking for answers. There are two sisters, maritza and Marina Perez Rios, and their friend Dora cervantes seance. Last heard from February 24th. After they traveled about three hours from the McAllen Texas area to a flea market in nuevo Leon state, Mexico. They were heading there to sell clothing and the husband of one woman became concerned when they lost phone contact and he reported them missing. Authorities say they're investigating and the FBI has been notified, but this case stands in stark contrast to the response to the abduction of four Americans on a road trip for plastic surgery, which ended this week with two deaths.

Rep. Andy Biggs Unpacks the Biden Border Calamity
"I'm joining us now is the terrific Andy Biggs. He has some news to share about things happening on the southern border. It is to tragedy. Andy, welcome back to the program fill us in. What's going on? You know, I got to tell you, Charlie, it is, it's almost inconceivable to think that it can keep getting worse, but it gets worth worse by the month. And this administration is doing things to distract. So for instance, they're going to tell you that, well, the encounters between the ports of entry went down significantly last month. And they did. But the reason why is because they're funneling people through a parole program, which is contrary to U.S. law and getting him into going through ports of entry, trying to get him there. And then they're going to release them into the interior immediately with work permits and they're gone. The de facto Amnesty program that's happening right now, Charlie. And guess what? The cartels aren't going to put up with that. So that's why we fully expected them to drop by about a 150,000. They dropped between ports of entry by about a 100,000, the cartels are not going to put up with that. So they're going to because they control the border. I mean, I don't know what else to tell you. We've got testimony in recent weeks. The sector chiefs. These are in the Biden administration sector chiefs. They themselves admit the southwest border, which is from McAllen, Texas, to San Diego, is controlled, not by U.S., not by our own sovereign forces, but by the cartels. Charlie, this, you know, we could talk AD nauseum, you know, almost infinitely about how bad this situation is. Terrible.

An asteroid the size of ten football fields zipped safely by earth February 15th. Shouldn't those be hemorrhoids? They call them asteroids. It's been like this all day. Closest approach. The asteroid was still about 2.8 million miles away from earth. So a near hit. About 12 times the average distance between earth and the moon, scientists say the asteroid poised poised, posed no threat to our planet. But. But what? It would have been a lot closer, but the asteroid heard what we did to those Chinese balloons. I'm not getting near there. Laughing like it's funny. Listen, I'm laughing at the idea that the notion. The notion that an asteroid would know about the Chinese man. And then leave quicker than it. Although it starts to know that the asteroids knew about the Chinese balloons before the American government did. Well, apparently the meteoroids didn't because one hit in McAllen, Texas on Thursday, The Rock was two feet in diameter weighed thousand pounds NASA said it broke up into smaller pieces. Oh, that's a shame. Scattered across the area. But I know what the odds are. The odds are pretty slim, but it could actually have hit somebody. No, sure.

We are running the business now on half the operating expenses. Hardaway your ago and we're doing it and we're making it work. We have a berry lean and mighty team and where in a players and people working from their strikes not going to say. We're not tired and exhausted some days. We're turning the corner but every business can do this. It forces creativity innovation and part of the potential solution. It is you run the business around the sweet spot and so the sweet spot in this is from the pumpkin plan also mcallen. Is that intersection of your top clients. And what they want most from you that aligns with your strength you can be the best in the world at in systems that you put in place to support what you're delivering to those top clients. And so what's really interesting is getting back to rachel's time at earlier about saying no this means when you know who your clients already know who's not top client who doesn't fit that profile and a lot of times we have clients. Customers are businesses that drain the profit. Right out of the business. They you know they complain. They need a lot of attention. In hand rolling. And we business owners think we need more team and payroll is the biggest expense in a business. Zorba add more team to take care of our most difficult clients customers because it's not going to be the business owner takes care of them. We're going to hear the team members to do that short. Meanwhile our payroll goes up. Our profit goes down while we're doing that. So when we get super clear around a sweet spot in the business we can look at who are the twenty percent of the clients that are responsible for a percent of revenue and the business and then if we set a modest goal to increase revenue from the top twenty percent of our clients that are responsible for eighty percent revenue. We increase that revenue by twenty five percent. Over the next year we can replace the revenue from the bottom eighty percent of plants that are responsible for twenty percent revenue that puts the business owner at choice Whether or not you're going to serve does difficult clients and customers..

You'll get a fixed rate of returned from them, but it might not be enough to offset taxes and inflation. Most annuity contracts require you to keep the money there for 5 to 10 years, and if you're under age 59 a half any withdrawals are subject to a 10% IRS penalty. You should talk, therefore, to a fee based financial advisor to see if an annuity is right for.

First of all, he was clearly a man with AIDS and it wasn't going to be around very long and I wasn't going to keep silent about. How he got that. because I had lost so many friends myself very brave people who've been openly gay and dealing with the prejudice. Most of all. I knew that the world would be kindly or to rock if somebody spoke intelligently about what sort of man he was and honestly they were lying brost hunter, his producer was lying and talking about a watermelon diets and things. And the liver cancer liver cancer just ridiculous panicked responses. And I. I didn't I couldn't take it. And Rock ended up sending his biographer to meet me he said you're the first person I should talk to so. I realized that he understood what I had done. Why done it but a lot of queers didn't really. Thought it was a betrayal because they were still that code of secrecy you must. You must not spell the spill the secret you know if you're lucky enough to know a movie star and you're supposed to keep quiet about it. And I didn't sign on for that. Did, you talk to him about it ever? Before thing you know I I yeah. I did when we first met I, said, you know. If you told your story would make a huge difference in the world and and.
