WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:12.039 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM six forty. I think 2 00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.800 the school prevails for a couple of reasons. First of all, there are 3 00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:20.600 only two genders, men and real men. That's how we start, okay. 4 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:25.199 For example, real men do not go to musicals, even though I 5 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:30.199 push them all the time. And now Handle on the news, ladies and 6 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:37.799 gentlemen, here's Bill Handle. Well, it is a Wednesday, Juneteenth, 7 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:44.039 June nineteen, twenty twenty four, and we are going to talk about and 8 00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:47.719 celebrate Juneteenth today. It's really interesting. I'll give you a little bit of 9 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:53.240 history behind that, and it's going to be a hot one today. First 10 00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.159 of all, let me introduce or say hello to the crowd. If I 11 00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.640 can, Neil, good morning, Good morning, Willie Wolf and if Neil, 12 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.520 I wish we could see this, but you can't. Kneel's on computer 13 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.799 screen as everybody is talking to each other, because that's what we do now. 14 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.359 And behind them, he puts up the graphics, which you can do. 15 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.640 And uh, as many times there is there's the camel in the office 16 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.000 going Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Why because 17 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:26.439 today is hump Day? And then we celebrate hump Day every Wednesday, which 18 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.799 is always a joy. It's very important holiday in uh my world. There's 19 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.560 litters, New Year's, there's July fourth hump Day. A little commercial for 20 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.719 me these days. I mean, I was out doing my hump Day shopping, 21 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.200 getting my hump Day tree, and it's just like the hustling bustle I'm 22 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.079 not into anymore. Yeah. So when you go to stores that have hump 23 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.799 Day sales, are they dumping humps? Is it a ump? Is it 24 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.640 a hump dump? Just be careful on the ones that have been reboxed. 25 00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:00.359 You do not want to reuse hump Okay, fair enough, anyway, there 26 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.680 you are. We'll do that. We'll make milk it until all of us 27 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.680 get really sick of that. Good morning Cono, Good morning Bill. All 28 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:12.080 right, there we go, and the lovely Amy, Good morning Amy, 29 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.039 Good morning Bill. Oh it's black with pearls. Is do I have that 30 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:22.360 right? No? Oh? I bling? Oh bling. It's a sparkly 31 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:27.120 necklace. It is sparkly, you know, pretend necklaces. When we were 32 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.639 broken into at the house with those Chilean gangs that I've talked about so many 33 00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.960 times, they go up to the second floor with the ladder and clean out 34 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.879 all of the jewelry because everything is kept upstairs virtually, and that everybody keeps 35 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.759 their jewelry et cetter and the upstairs master closet. All we had was bling. 36 00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:53.840 Let me tell you how pissed off those guys were when they left and 37 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.280 tried to pawn off the jewelry, which was complete garbage. That's not to 38 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.800 say that what you're brying his garbage, but that is well. Let me 39 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:05.120 ask you this. Do you remember how much you paid for that lovely necklace? 40 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:08.039 My friend gave it to me, but I think it was it was 41 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:12.159 like a hundred bucks. Oh even that's very much. Okay, I mean 42 00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.759 you mean you're telling me that the fourteen carrot's worth of diamonds that you have 43 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.879 around there aren't real. I know you can't tell, but no they're not. 44 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.280 You're right, And good morning, good morning Bill. All right, 45 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.759 we're ready to go, guys. And how hot is it going to be 46 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.960 today? Because and you keep up on this stuff, how hot is it 47 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.639 going to be today? Yeah? How hot is it going to be? 48 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.439 Yeah? Ninety ninety Okay, I'm in Wolden Hills. It's always really hot. 49 00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.919 Yeah, it is, and north Ridge is really hot, and so 50 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.560 you know, welcome to Los Angeles heat dome. Over the rest of the 51 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.439 country, they are dying there. I mean he probably literally is. We're 52 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.159 going to go into the news this morning. You've got a heat dome where 53 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.960 it's in the nineties. Records are going to be broken all over East coast 54 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.800 cities and it's hot and humid. So kono, are you ready to it's 55 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:08.919 a schitz out there, and related to describing the East Coast, which is 56 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:15.480 a schwitz, but here it's hot, but it's not a schwitz. He's 57 00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:24.160 looking, he's looking, looking, looking for it's fitz. Watch. Okay, 58 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.519 we're gonna be doing that this morning as we talk about the weather. 59 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.879 All right, Schwitz being boys and girls, uh too sweat. Schwitz actually 60 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:40.399 is a steam room in Yiddish, but it's also a verb. It is 61 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.600 a verb that not only do you sit in a schwitz, but you also 62 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.360 schwitz. We s fitz you schwitz, you will schwitz schwitz. We have 63 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:54.319 schwitz. Oh you can't. We have schwatz. No, no, that's 64 00:04:54.399 --> 00:05:00.519 only for males. And it's not schwatz, it's schwantz. We have schwantz. 65 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.759 Now if a group of males are saying, we have swans, then 66 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.279 you have to do the plural we have swans's. You know what. I'll 67 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:13.439 give you adish lessons later later on. There's swanks gonna be out there. 68 00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:16.480 Yeah, that's out in the east coast. Okay, is it a pride 69 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:23.560 of Schwanz's, that's very good. It is it a pod a murder of 70 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.720 well that that could be a crush of Schwans's depending on where you put your 71 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:34.000 swans, if it's in place. So at some point we'll do schwans rama. 72 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.000 Okay, guys, is it time for handle on the news? Good 73 00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:44.279 start, good start today. Amy, you're learning Yiddish, right, there'll 74 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.199 be Yiddish lessons. We actually should do a oh, you know what and 75 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.600 uh at some point a segment on Yiddish. Yiddish words you need to know 76 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:59.079 because they're really good. Now. Arabic curses, by the way, are 77 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.800 far better. They're the best in the word world, you know. For 78 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.920 example, may you take a camel dung smear on your mustache and smell it 79 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.079 for a week? That is actually a curse in Arabic? How do you 80 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.240 beat that? It's more poetic in the original language, but actually it is 81 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.079 so Arabic is a very poetic language to begin with. There's a lot of 82 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:26.560 well, you know, all right, I was just thinking and it's not 83 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.399 gonna work. It wasn't gonna work. Okay, work all of it, 84 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.439 all of it, the thinking, that's right, the saying all of it. 85 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.560 Okay, guys, let's do it. Handle on the news, Amy 86 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:46.600 Neil and me lead story those. Oh yeah, Putin is in North Korea 87 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.399 and they signed a break through partnership and I'm going to talk more about that 88 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:57.360 at eight o'clock. Uh, to give you an idea of how Putin is 89 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.519 a good guy and attacking Ukraine. But a little bit of a little bit 90 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:11.199 of reality here as to countries don't care about individual rights and human rights. 91 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.879 They really don't, including the United States, even though we say it. 92 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.920 And I'll explain that a little bit later. And the deal that Putin and 93 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:25.480 Kim struck, and that's coming up at eight o'clock. So Matt Gates is 94 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.839 back in the spotlight. Remember it was a big deal for a while and 95 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.639 then it kind of went away. Well it's back again. The House Ethics 96 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:39.120 Committee says it is expanding its investigation into Representative Matt Gates to include additional allegations 97 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:45.279 that the lawmaker from Florida tried to obstruct the investigation as it looks into accusations 98 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.560 of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, and more. The investigation has been 99 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:53.680 going on for three years. Yeah, the DOJ drop charges, by the 100 00:07:53.720 --> 00:08:00.079 way, the weaponized DOJ drop charges. And now it's the weaponized House of 101 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:07.600 Representative even though they're controlled Republican Republicans control it. This is the weaponization of 102 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.079 insert name of any agency or elective body here, and it's gone crazy. 103 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.560 The guy's the sleeves. He really is. He is. He's a big, 104 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.800 big talker against Democrats, against Biden, I mean huge. He was 105 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:30.879 responsible for kicking Kevin McCarthy out of the speakership. He led that move and 106 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.519 he won that one. And Mike Johnson they've left that one alone because you 107 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.919 know how many how many speakers do they throw out? How many speakers? 108 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.960 As Gates going to toss for exactly the same thing, by the way, 109 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.440 So Matt Gates, I hope he gets nailed, nailed. He'll only assuming 110 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.480 all of that is correct, he'll just be censured. You know, bad 111 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:56.639 boys slap on the wrist. That's what happens, all right. Boeing CEO 112 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:05.360 Dave Calhoun spent two two hours yesterday trying to persuade largely very very skeptical senators 113 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.559 that all the issues going with the aircraft maker that they are committed to safety 114 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.919 since a pair of deadly crashes about six years ago. He also denied any 115 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.919 widespread accusations that Boeing retaliates against whistle blowers or employees who bring up safety concerns. 116 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:31.399 Yeah, and the chair of the committee nailed him both sides screaming at 117 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.559 him. He denied. He just said, Nope, we don't have that 118 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.759 kind of a culture. Yes, we're straightening things out. And it was 119 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.799 just they weren't even on the same planet. By the way, this is 120 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.840 where the phrase you've heard it before. It blew the doors off that argument. 121 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.480 Nice well played, sir, Thank you, turning up the heat. 122 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.039 Israel has worned hes be Law of the prospect of an all out war after 123 00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.559 the Lebanese militant group published a nine minute video. It was apparently taken by 124 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:07.799 a drone and it shows Israeli military and civilian locations in several cities around Israel, 125 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.840 and foreign Minister Israel Katz says, we're getting very close to the moment 126 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:16.960 of deciding to change the rules of the game against Hesbola and Lebanon. Yeah, 127 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:22.080 I don't quite understand what the Hesbala is doing. Israel's fully prepared to 128 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.080 do a to front war. I mean, they will fight with Hesbelah and 129 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.360 Kamas. They've had plenty of two front wars, and they will decimate southern 130 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.840 Lebanon. Now it's going to be more of a fight because they have the 131 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.000 sophisticated missiles. Iran has backed them up and it's fairly easy to get this 132 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:50.879 stuff into southern Lebanon. But there if they're prepared to literally have Southern Lebanon 133 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.360 look like Gaza, okay. And then of course Israel has the bomb. 134 00:10:54.639 --> 00:11:00.960 You know that. It's believed that they have two hundred nuclear way weapons and 135 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.879 they're never going to go down without blowing up a bunch of Arab cities. 136 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.039 They just won't. Israel only has to lose one time and it ceases to 137 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.879 become Israel with its neighbors. And by the way, his Bellaw is ramping 138 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:24.879 this up with attacks and this latest one simply for solidarity with the Palestinians for 139 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:31.399 no other reason none. Israel has no ambitions in Lebanon. It just wants 140 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.519 to be left alone up there. There's the border, and so far because 141 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.000 of the attacks they have evacuated the entire northern part of Israel. Is going 142 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:43.480 to be an all out war. Well, I mean, if you're in 143 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.879 a country, do you fight Israel. Hamas certainly made that choice. Boy, 144 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.879 that worked out well for them, didn't it. Okay, we'll see, 145 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.320 we'll see. It's getting closer and closer. Speaking of it's really Prime 146 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:05.240 Minister Jamin netnaho Was has claimed rather that the United States is withholding weapons and 147 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:11.679 imploied that this was slowing Israel's offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafa. 148 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.600 And there's obviously that's where the fighting is going on now, and there's already 149 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.799 this dire humanitarian situation for Palestinians there. Yeah. And by the way, 150 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.519 the withholding of weapons actually did happen because Ukraine and Israel were packaged together. 151 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.720 Congress did not vote. It took a while for Congress to vote. Ukraine 152 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.799 and then connected to Israel and the United States saying the only thing we've withheld 153 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:43.519 are those two thousand pound bombs that take out blocks of people. And Netta 154 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.240 ya who is straight out blaming Biden. I mean they're getting into it, 155 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.919 the two of them, and we'll see what happens with that way. Matter 156 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.320 of fact, Neta nyahho. He's very very careful not to go too far. 157 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:00.519 For example, in his last speech he said, I don't want to 158 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.240 mention names Biden, and I want to make sure that we have a decent 159 00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:13.279 relationship Biden, and that we don't we don't get to the point where Israel 160 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:18.240 and United States are completely at odds. Biden, so very subtle, thank 161 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.639 you. Yeah, he is Biden his time, Oh, very strong. 162 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.960 The pier is in peril. You know that two hundred and thirty million dollars 163 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.960 temporary peer the US military built. It was supposed to become an offloading point 164 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:37.799 for aid to get into Gaza. It's basically failed. It's yeah, been 165 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.039 a month and it's been in service only about ten days. It broke apart 166 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.320 in rough seas. It was detached to avoid damage, and now it's been 167 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:52.120 paused for security concerns as well. Yeah, two hundred and thirty million dollars 168 00:13:52.399 --> 00:14:00.240 did nothing nothing. It is basically the biggest pool float that has ever been 169 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:05.639 built. The good news is Timu has return policies, so we'll see if 170 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.600 we can get that back. Yeah yeah, and it never did. It 171 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.799 was supposed to be a stop gap anyway. The only way to really bring 172 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:18.960 aid into Gaza is via the points, the various transition points. There's Rafa 173 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.600 and there's a couple in northern California. They have to be opened up the 174 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:30.200 border crossings, and they have Israel is allowing. You know, Israel is 175 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:35.240 a very very interesting philosophy. Here is that people were starving in Gaza, 176 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:43.639 and I believe that Israel is allowing just enough aid so it's not outright starvation. 177 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.399 It's just a little bit over the line of starvation. And that is 178 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.480 pretty cynical. But I think Natagna, who is that cynical? I think 179 00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:00.720 he will allow hundreds of thousands of people right into fa emminent to keep his 180 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:07.159 position as Prime minister. Sad news yesterday. Willie Mays, the iconic Hall 181 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:13.039 of Fame center fielder known for the greatest all around baseball player of all time, 182 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.679 he died yesterday. And you know the he was ninety three years old, 183 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:24.759 so it's not like it was a short life, but a huge representative 184 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:31.320 of baseball and a what would you call that baseball? No, no, 185 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.399 a leegend, yes, well, absolutely a legend. Yes, I was 186 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.879 thinking of an ambassador. He is the word I was looking for that just 187 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:46.919 you know, phenomenal, phenomenal athlete, just phenomenal and you can and I 188 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.679 don't know what the quality of his life was towards the end, but certainly, 189 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.679 as you describe it, this is a life well lived, clearly and 190 00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:03.000 iconic and certainly a legend. And what did you play? Baseball? Basketball? 191 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.919 Baseball? Thank you very much. Show me the money. US prosecutors 192 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:15.480 have announced a major breakthrough in a crackdown against Chinese money laundering networks they say 193 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:22.000 are working with Mexican drug cartels. They filed charges against twenty four people tied 194 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.600 to a scheme to launder more than fifty million dollars in drugs. Yeah, 195 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:33.480 this is Mexico and the cartels and some Americans out of la and it is 196 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:40.080 just a lot of money. This drug business is become international. You ever 197 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:45.799 thought that Mexico and Chinese cartels would hook up with Chinese and Americans to get 198 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:49.679 this moving? Boy, this is complicated. Stuff hasn't it always been international. 199 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.679 No, I don't think like this. I don't think the cartels. 200 00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.000 I think they acted on their own with mules and trucks. That's my understanding. 201 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.960 I may be wrong about that, but it shows the tentacles of this 202 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:10.400 stuff. By the way, when they bust one of these, how many 203 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:14.880 have let how are through? How many do they miss? Maybe they bust 204 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.160 one out of ten. It's and it takes years to figure this out. 205 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:25.440 They put hundreds of investigators on this and police, and they get one a 206 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.400 couple of years. Usually they're investigating this. Steve Gregory has talked about this 207 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.599 quite often. All right, well, you got to imagine the cartels have 208 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.440 their hands in just about everything but avocados, mangoes. Maybe. The United 209 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:44.680 States government has suspended inspections of avocados and mangoes in the Mexican state of Michoacan 210 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:52.720 due to security concerns after one of the inspectors got a threatening message. So 211 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.680 they're out, they're gone, And as the inspector left, he turns to 212 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:02.079 the cartel and says, hey, don't have the fruitfly traps hit you in 213 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.880 the ass. I'm out of here. Well, the weird thing is, 214 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:08.200 we do get a lot from Mexico, but we do provide. We have 215 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.000 a lot of avocados here, we just don't have them year round as Mexico 216 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:18.880 does. However, some of them were already en root and so they're on 217 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:23.680 their way. And then some come from Jalisco, I believe, but you 218 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:30.079 know, so Oruarez, It'salisco, Jalisco. So we'll still get some Mexican 219 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.880 avocados. You'll see them just dispatch. I think they walked away from and 220 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:41.559 said we're going to leave before we miss our heads. Yeah, hands, 221 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.960 feet, yeah, penises, Yeah, pretty much. Last week it was 222 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.279 tornadoes. This week it's heat and now here come the hurricanes. A tropical 223 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:56.160 storm warning is in effect, not a hurricane yet for parts of South Texas 224 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:00.079 and northeastern Mexico. It's the first tropical storm thread of the year. It's 225 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:07.000 going to or it's expected to unload torrential rainfall and raise the flood threat not 226 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.160 just in the US but also in parts of Mexico and Central America. Yeah, 227 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:17.599 early, early for a tropical storm threat. And I don't know if 228 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.799 how much news you watch, Obviously I watch a lot of it, especially 229 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.759 in the national news. For the last how many weeks is the lead story. 230 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:33.279 The storms and the weather. It's getting tough, it really is. 231 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.400 So the droughts are going to be drowdier, hurricanes are going to be stronger, 232 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.519 they're going to come earlier, they're going to be more of them, 233 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.599 and there are the weather people are saying be prepared for a rough rough season. 234 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.839 Well, already the heat dome records were broken and this early at the 235 00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:59.839 same time, So welcome to climate change. All right. This is a 236 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.759 story that I think we're gonna need to see more unfold because it seems bizarre. 237 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.599 You got a nineteen year old USC student by the name of Ivan Diego's 238 00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.279 he was idd as the murder suspect in this stabbling stabbing of a homeless man 239 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:18.400 on Greek Row who apparently was breaking in to his car or someone's car, 240 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:25.119 and he approached him. There were maybe two other guys as well, so 241 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:27.640 it looks like three people approached him. One said they had a gun, 242 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.680 he pulled out a knife and stabbed him. And now he is They they 243 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.000 booked him for murder. And here's my question, A two million dollar bail, 244 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:41.720 Yeah, I mean I don't even know they actively Yeah, effectively, 245 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.599 there's no bail there, you know, two million dollar bail to a guy 246 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.559 this young or anybody. He doesn't have a pile of money. Here's my 247 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:52.359 question. I don't know the answer to this either. Maybe I'll call a 248 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:57.640 handle on the law and ask myself on Saturday. And that is simply saying 249 00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:04.200 I have a gun. Is that enough to argue self defense when a crime 250 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:08.039 is being committed? I don't know the answer to that. Did he reach 251 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:12.799 for a waistband? Did he reach behind him? And if he did, 252 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:18.119 he just say I have a gun. This is when I'm going to trust 253 00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.519 somebody other than me, not going to wait. I will tell you Saturday 254 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.200 morning. The answer excellent, I asked myself. By the way, as 255 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.279 more the description comes out of the event, he did not leave the scene 256 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:40.160 and he totally cooperated law enforcement. So slow down or else. A bill 257 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:44.920 that would pave the way for speed cameras to be put in high risk areas 258 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.480 in Malibu have cleared a hurdle. Senate Bill twelve ninety seven has passed out 259 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:56.000 of the State Assemblies Transportation Committee. So basically they're saying that these speed cameras 260 00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:00.880 were going through Malibu can be a pretty dangerous thing. They've shown a forty 261 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:07.559 one percent reduction in fatal or incapacitating injuries in other areas of the state. 262 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.720 Yeah, it's crazy, the speeding. I mean, we've all experienced that. 263 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.039 Yesterday, I was both on the street and the freeway getting to the 264 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.680 freeway, and both on the street and on the freeway, and I must 265 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:26.799 have seen four different incidences where you've got guys. Usually it's guys going through 266 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:32.799 weaving through traffic and like one hundred miles an hour. They think that it's 267 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.079 almost like stunt people being filmed doing that, and it is so crazy. 268 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:45.240 And at one point there was a cop that I saw back maybe a block 269 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:48.200 just ignored it or didn't see it. No one gets tagged. When's the 270 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.599 last time you saw a speeder going that crazy? Who was tagged by the 271 00:22:52.680 --> 00:23:00.119 police, don't know? A quick reminder This weekend, this Saturday night at 272 00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:07.279 the Walt Disney Concert Hall, it's the LA Lawyers Philharmonic judges and lawyers who 273 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.200 are in the Philharmonic. Gary Green, who is a lawyer, a practicing 274 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:17.000 lawyer, is the head of the orchestra and it's oh, it's always great 275 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:21.000 fun. I'm the MC so you see me in a tuxedo. Once a 276 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.720 year I make a complete ass out of myself as always. And it's this 277 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.400 Saturday, June twenty two at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. And it is 278 00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:33.880 a terrific show with legal voices, the choir too, and it's show tunes 279 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.079 and pop music, classical music. I mean, you put it all together, 280 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.400 it's going to be pretty neat. And you can go to La Lawyersphil 281 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:47.519 dot org for tickets La Lawyersphil dot org for tickets. And by the way, 282 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:48.880 after the show, you know, come up and say hello to me, 283 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.279 because I won't be there. I'm going to be long gone. I'm 284 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:59.279 just not interested in saying hello to you. Okay, excuse me, let's 285 00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:03.240 do it. Let's finish that pandle on the news on this Wednesday morning, 286 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.559 Amy, Neil and me. Alrighty. So when you're driving down the road, 287 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.039 you last thing you want is I don't know, you know, steam 288 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:15.960 coming out of your engine or maybe a flat tire. Imagine going to space 289 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:21.680 and having malfunctioning thrusters, a series of helium links leaks. Not a good 290 00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:25.759 thing. So now, which company, Neil, oh, let me look 291 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.480 this up. Bill, Let's oh Boeing Boeing in their star Liner. Thanks 292 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.519 for asking. Two veteran astronauts will extend their stay on the International Space Station. 293 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:41.680 We warn them, don't go, but they are. They've got the 294 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.000 groundwork people trying to figure out or better understand, as they say, the 295 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:49.359 issues of the Boeing built spacecraft that carried them. Tom, And I know 296 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:55.960 it's a different division division, yes, but you do got a wonder Yeah, 297 00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.880 And how do you know there was a helium leak inside? Because they 298 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.079 I told us that's why. That is not where the leap was built. 299 00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.039 No, I know that it would be funny if it was. I had 300 00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:14.240 to do a helium balloon joke. Hello, grandchedule. Yeah, this is 301 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:15.279 kind of like a I don't know, to you and me, it'd be 302 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:21.200 like a five dollars fine. But Amazon's been fined five point nine million dollars 303 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.599 for allegedly violating California's warehouse quota law. And of course Prime members get stuff 304 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:32.960 fast, and employees say sometimes that speed comes at a cost to them. 305 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:40.200 And Amazon's been investigated at two San Bernardino County Amazon warehouses. A total of 306 00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:45.279 fifty nine thousand violations were found from October twenty three to March of twenty four. 307 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.920 Yeah, five point nine million dollars. That literally is the money you 308 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:56.039 find between the cushions on your couch and your couch. For Amazon. My 309 00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:02.960 daughter's roommate, Pamela's roommate, she worked, she now works in tech for 310 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:06.759 Amazon, and she was in the warehouse and she goes, that's a tough 311 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.599 job. It is not easy being a warehouse worker. What were some of 312 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:15.000 the violations to quota? Basically quota systems you have to do X number of 313 00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.440 boxes from what I understand, X number of boxes in a given amount of 314 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:26.079 time. And that's why she said it's not easy. It's a tough job. 315 00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.880 But promotions, they're pretty good about promotions. Their pay is pretty good. 316 00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.519 So a lot of people line up to work at Amazon. You know 317 00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:40.279 what, fifty boxes a minute has been your quota, but we're giving you 318 00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:42.519 a promotion. Now you need to do sixty five. That's true. Now, 319 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.559 it's like it's like, iHeart, they give you a promotion by giving 320 00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:49.200 you a different total. I mean a different title, I mean no money, 321 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.599 nothing. You're doing exactly the same job, but now you're a vice 322 00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:57.799 president in charge of nothing. I assumed a couple of positions when people were 323 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:00.960 let go, well, now you do it, right, how much money 324 00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:06.880 you get extra? Nothing? Yeah, yeah, exactly, But at least 325 00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:11.200 I have my hair. That's true, all right. Navidia is now the 326 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:18.279 new Wall Street Darling artificial intelligence poster child is now the most valuable company in 327 00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.720 the world, taking the crown from Microsoft. Yeah, they go back and 328 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.559 forth, and this is very important. Navidia's three point three four trillion cap. 329 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:33.519 Microsoft is now three point three two trillion cap. Apple way back in 330 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:38.640 third at three point twenty seven trillion dollar cap and depending on the vagaries of 331 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:44.759 the stock market, a difference between morning and night.
