00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:12.000
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand
from kf I AM six forty. Arabic

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.800
is a very poetic language to begin
with. There's a lot of well,

3
00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:22.039
you know, all right, I
was just thinking and it's not gonna work.

4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.359
It wasn't gonna work. Okay,
isn't gonna work, all of it,

5
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.399
all of it. And now Handle
on the news, ladies and gentlemen.

6
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:36.159
Here's Bill Handle, and yeah,
good morning, everybody. Bill Handle

7
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.719
here on Thursday morning, June twentieth. I think today is Solstice day,

8
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:44.840
is it? It is one fifty
this afternoon. It's officially summer. And

9
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.200
so there we go. And so
today there will be international coverage of people

10
00:00:52.320 --> 00:01:00.399
with no life dancing around Stonehenge with
stolen robes from hotel rooms and doing whatever

11
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.840
chance they do. And that's going
to be very exciting today. And Stonehenge

12
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.439
will be bright orange. Yes,
it will be. Stop oil people,

13
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.000
guys. I have a quick favor
to ask of you. My frittatas are

14
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.120
going to burn. They're in the
toaster oven. So I'm going to just

15
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:21.640
leave for thirty This is, by
the way, legit, this is not

16
00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:25.680
shtick. I've got to go to
the toaster oven and turn it off because

17
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.040
they are going to burn for real, please, So just hang I'll be

18
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.319
back in a minute. I got
to talk amongst ourselves. Yeah, I

19
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.480
just talk amongst yourself for a minute. I'll be back in less than a

20
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.319
minute. Okay. So it is
the first day of summer. It arrives

21
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.319
at one point fifty and we have
fourteen hours and twenty one minutes of daylight

22
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:46.359
today. Wow. What am I
going to do with it all? I

23
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.200
don't know. Most of the time
for me because I have the weird sleep

24
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.680
schedule. I've got the curtains drawn
so I don't see it. I'm going

25
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.599
to put solar panels on my head
and absorb the energy. I like it.

26
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.840
That's a nice idea. You know
what's funny is Handel says when he's

27
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.359
got to go get his breakfast,
he goes, this isn't shtick. Not

28
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:10.879
one of us or anyone listening wouldever
think that handle would make jokes about food.

29
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.879
Okay, sorry about that? Are
they good? Yeah? Yeah?

30
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.560
If I didn't turn it off prime, well it's a long you know,

31
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.560
my toast rubbin, and I turn
it on for too long. Uh,

32
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.000
and it would have continued to cook
in the studio. I even keep put

33
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:34.479
a toast rubin in the studio.
Why not because uh I needed the stuff

34
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.280
comes straight from the freezer. Has
seen the microwave to defrost and it's it's

35
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.439
very complicated. So anyway, let
me go back to good morning everybody.

36
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.879
We're done with for tod to talk. Uh uh goodboarding. Don't you hate

37
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.840
when the show gets like in the
way of all the things you have gone

38
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.520
on? Hate it that this show
gets in the way of my morning?

39
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.080
Get that you have no idea?
What a pain in the ass that is?

40
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.479
Uh, Neil, good morning,
Yes, indeed, good morning,

41
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.479
Willie Wolf, Yes, Cono,
good morning, good morning. I don't

42
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:07.879
know what if for is. By
the way, Oh well, these are

43
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.680
many for Tata's a lot they're like, yeah, they're like a kishe Uh,

44
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.599
this is a costco Uh of course, it's a costco product. And

45
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.759
what it is in this case it's
egg whites and the a lot of little

46
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.479
vegetables in it. I'm sorry we
moved on from the ftana. Sorry,

47
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.360
oh, he asked, I know, he as good morning. You know

48
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.280
what a forada is I do It's
like a kish without a without a crust.

49
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.479
Yeah, that's basically that's exactly what
it is. Well put just like

50
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.240
in this case, it's just egg
whites. It works well. Okay,

51
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.800
Uh, I think we're ready to
go. We've got enough Fortana talk toaster,

52
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:54.000
rub and talk oh solstice talk,
which actually is important. And I

53
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.439
hope that they catch those asses,
uh, the ones that spray paint on

54
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.400
Stone Hinge. Uh. And there
what is there? What is the premise

55
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:12.800
of they're doing what they did their
Uh? What are they objecting to?

56
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:17.279
Too much oil being used? And
the druids that built it just used so

57
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.480
much. It wasn't the Druids that
built it. By the way, it's

58
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.279
no way thousands of years before the
Druids. They have no idea who put

59
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:30.680
Stonehenge up. The pre dr the
pre Druids, they weren't, were they

60
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.240
Drewish? That's very good. No, they don't know who. They actually

61
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.319
don't know who built Stone Hinge.
I mean a pre date. It goes

62
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:46.120
thousands of years back way before Druids
city. Okay, let's do it.

63
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.959
You're ready, guys. And I
love the solstice because it's the longest day

64
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.399
of the year. And as you
said, Amy, it goes downhill after

65
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:58.720
this. It's a little extra longer. I happened to love when summertime comes

66
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.839
up. And then when we go
to go back to daylight savings time,

67
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.920
No, we go back to standard
time after we do daylight savings, and

68
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:12.040
man, it is so depressing.
And then it gets early dark and it's

69
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.040
just I love it because your speedo
comes out, the old handle hammock gets

70
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.199
put on, and you get ready
for the summer, and you comb your

71
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:27.879
back and you're all ready to my
legs are getting a little creepy. I

72
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.319
just looked in the mirror and it's
pretty depressing. You know, you sort

73
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:38.319
of hit your nineties and hundred.
I only feel ninety and moisturizes. No,

74
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:40.879
I yeah, I've got to do
something about that. Moisture eyes.

75
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.560
Buddy, Yeah, I've got to
do something. Oh no, we'll cover

76
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.720
you in it. Yeah, okay, yeah, nicely said. Okay,

77
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.279
got your cover, buddy, Let's
do it. Let's do it. Weird

78
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.040
morning, weird morning for TI to
talk and all the rest of it.

79
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.480
Okay, handle on the news,
Amy, Neil and me lead story.

80
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:06.079
Well well as I the Supreme Court
is expanding religious freedom even in public places,

81
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.759
and it's going to hear this case
I guarantee you, because Louisiana court

82
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.639
rooms have now required are now required
by law to display the Ten Commandments in

83
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:26.519
all classrooms from kindergarten straight up to
the university level for any school that gets

84
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.240
any kind of state aid, which
means certainly all the public schools, I

85
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:38.319
mean that's a given, but also
schools, private schools and colleges particularly that

86
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.120
get money from the students, get
money from the state in terms of loans

87
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.800
or grants. And it's pretty all
reaching, it really is, because you've

88
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:54.399
got a situation separation of church and
state, and it is they want the

89
00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:00.680
government involved. The Conservatives when it
comes to the Ten Commandment and religion,

90
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.240
the government must be involved. Of
course, when it comes to Second Amendment,

91
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.399
the government cannot be involved. When
it comes to abortion, the government

92
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:15.120
must be involved. So kind of
interesting, isn't it. By the way,

93
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.680
the other side, same thing,
just reverse, just a mirror image,

94
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:23.360
all right, So that's going to
be a big one. So the

95
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:28.079
UN is using the word extermination now. The Human Rights Office said that the

96
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:34.639
scale of Palestinian civilian losses amounted to
extermination. Report from the UN said it

97
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:43.279
focused on six attacks that resulted in
mass casualties and destroyed civilian infrastructure and infrastructure.

98
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.720
It said Israeli forces may have systematically
violated the principles of distinction, proportionality,

99
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.480
and precaution, and that may be
the case. Where the argument is

100
00:07:54.759 --> 00:08:01.000
is going too far and they're not
doing enough to segregate their attack to try

101
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.839
to keep casualties to a minimum.
All of that, I agree. Extermination.

102
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:13.199
Let's talk about extermination, the purpose
of wiping out a people for absolutely

103
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:24.680
no military gain. Nazis with Jews, Turks with Armenians, Chinese with Awigurs.

104
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:30.839
The point is to wipe those people
out off the map. You don't

105
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:35.720
want to use the word extermination because
what that does is dilute the true horrific

106
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.960
crime of extermination. The argument here
is Israel is not This is no there's

107
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.240
no military reason to attack those homes
and those businesses and those hospitals. It

108
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.559
doesn't exist. They're just doing it
for the hell of it, like the

109
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.120
Nazis did. It wiped out the
Jews. As a matter of philosophy,

110
00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:01.000
governmental philosophy, no risk. So
this assumes the fact that there is no

111
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:09.480
Hamas it doesn't exist, Israel has
no justification for attacking Hamas. None,

112
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.440
it's just a straight extermination. Come
on, guys, you know, really

113
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.879
saying there's too many grenades, not
enough snipers kind of thing like, isn't

114
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:24.799
there a more pinpoint accurate way.
Well, that's what they're saying, Israel

115
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.679
and Israel, that's what. And
I don't know. I'm a military guy,

116
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.799
but although I play one on radio, I mean, the point is,

117
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:39.240
what do you do when your enemy
embeds itself into the civilian population.

118
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:45.480
The only way not to kill a
bunch of civilians when you're attacking enemy within

119
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:52.360
that population is to simply not attacks
it. War's over, Hamas continues on.

120
00:09:54.000 --> 00:10:00.399
Hamas continues to invade Israel and commit
its terrorist acts as and it has

121
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:07.399
promised to do over and over again. And the answer is for Israel to

122
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.960
simply not go after Humas because they're
in the population. Boy, that's how

123
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.120
you win every war. Now,
just embed in the population and the other

124
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:22.080
side cannot attack you. Well,
it's like that in the day to day.

125
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.519
You know, cops are trying to
get the bad guys, but they

126
00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:28.360
can't just torch an entire city block
to do it. It's a little bit

127
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:35.440
different. You don't have an entire
people getting together to wipe out a neighborhood.

128
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.279
They don't do that. You don't
get even gang members go down the

129
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.000
street and say, let's take out
that part of the city of Los Angeles

130
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:48.039
and just torch it. That doesn't
happen. These are individual events. Anyway,

131
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.360
I could go on and on,
and by the way, I'm not

132
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.360
arguing at all that Israel is in
the wrong in many many ways. But

133
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.799
please don't use the word extermination and
genocide. Don't do that. With warplanes

134
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:11.879
and drones above, Israeli tanks have
advanced deeper into the western part of Gaza

135
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.200
Strip city of Raffa yesterday and killing
eight people in the process. This is

136
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:24.000
according to Palestinian medics and residents.
Have you noticed that Israel says it is

137
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:31.960
not going to make a massive campaign
against Rafa and our president has said that's

138
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:39.039
a line that can't be crossed.
We can't have a major, major campaign

139
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.799
into Rafa where they can't. It's
the cut. It's the thousand cuts that

140
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.960
are going in death by a thousand
cuts. They're doing it and pretending they're

141
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.840
not doing it, and the US
is pretending they're not doing it. In

142
00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:01.759
the meantime, it's walking like a
duck and talking like a duck. So

143
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:07.840
once again, those poor civilians are
just getting nailed, nailed. It's horrific.

144
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:16.039
Taken up sides soul. South Korea
on Thursday condemned an agreement that was

145
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.080
reached between Russia and North Korea because
Putin went to North Korea and visited Kim

146
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:26.519
Jong un. They basically said that
in the event of war, each country

147
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:31.200
would come into the defense of the
other. That's to say that Ukraine and

148
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:37.960
Russia are not at war. So
does that mean that North Korea has to

149
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.679
enter the war? Well, it
has to some extent because it's providing tons

150
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:50.879
and tons of arms to Russia.
So I guess that's not war, or

151
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:56.799
maybe it's if the other side starts
the war and not Russia. Yeah,

152
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.159
I'm assuming this all means boots on
the ground or an attack by aircraft or

153
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:07.840
artillery coming from North Korea. That's
a hell of a jump from North Korea

154
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:13.759
to Ukraine. But hey, that's
the deal they cut and South Korea saying,

155
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.799
okay, we're now supplying arms to
Ukraine. Before that, it was

156
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:22.919
only humanitarian aid. South Korea wanted
to say the hell out of it,

157
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.120
we'll give you food, we'll give
you medicine. We're not going to give

158
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.000
you arms. Now they're changing there
too. It's really boiling down to this

159
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.320
god awful mess, this Ukrainian war. But you know what it is,

160
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.000
the world is falling suit of the
United States, where everyone has to pick

161
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.639
a side on something. No one
can look at things reasonably. It's like,

162
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.159
if you're on their side, then
I'm against you, and vice pers

163
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.240
hang on. I mean, you
still have Switzerland, still of other countries.

164
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.600
For the most part, the Western
Bloc is on one side. But

165
00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:58.919
South America, you know, Southeast
Asia, Africa, you know that kind

166
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.519
it doesn't really care, but the
important countries. That's not to say that

167
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.000
Africa is not as important as the
Western world, but it is to say

168
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:13.519
Africa is not as important as the
rest of the world. And it is,

169
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:18.360
you know, I mean, this
war is it might escalate. I'm

170
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.600
hoping not. I'm hoping not,
because this thing could really go crazy.

171
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.480
I'll tell you where it's going to
go crazy. If Putin unloads, if

172
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:33.080
he decides it's going to happen and
he unloads a tactical nuclear weapon. You

173
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.279
know, the small guys, the
kind that the Supreme Court will rule that

174
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.960
an American citizen can actually have because
it's a Second Amendment right to have small

175
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:48.279
grade tactical nuclear weapons. Yeah,
but you have to have a CCW for

176
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.039
it. You have to be able
to conceal and carry your tactical nuclear weapons.

177
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.759
Yeah, they're not that easy to
conceal. Although a very good good

178
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.799
friend of mine, Chuck Lovers,
who comes on all the time during fires.

179
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:07.799
He is a retired captain a cal
Fire and he retired firefighter with cal

180
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:16.240
Fire and he during his stint in
Europe was he carried tactical nuclear weapons in

181
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:24.559
a backpack. There was a whole
division of army members who carried those tactical

182
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.720
weapons and backpacks. Wow. Yeah, you know to put on bridges to

183
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:35.120
put in areas small low grade nuclear
weapons in backpacks. Now when you have

184
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.679
a lunch. They also have artillery
shells that have tactical nuclear weapons they're tipped

185
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:46.159
with that never used. Yeah,
go up to him and pet him on

186
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.279
the back, yeah, he respond. So hundreds of people have died,

187
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:56.759
thousands have been treated for heat stroke
while performing the annual Muslim Hajj pilgrimage.

188
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:03.120
Pilgrimage rather to Mecca extreme heat.
You're talking about one hundred and twenty degrees

189
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:10.600
excuse me fahrenheit. So super hot. Yeah, oh, Saudi Arabia is

190
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.399
super hot to begin with. But
you've got global warming, global climate change

191
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:19.919
and one hundred and twenty degrees And
they're out there and they circle what does

192
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:29.279
a stone called the Kubla stone,
that big monolithic stone where Mohammed I think

193
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:33.320
went to heaven. Anyway, they
throw stones at it by the millions.

194
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.080
You see those pictures. I'm trying
to get to what's the name of that

195
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:42.759
stone? Here we go? Sorry
about this, guys, but I'm really

196
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:48.519
intrigued here. Squirrel, No,
it's not a squirrel. That would not

197
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:55.600
be the name. Siri, Hey, sirih, what is the name of

198
00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:06.880
the massive stone at the center of
the Arkansas tradition? Wrong? Curling stones?

199
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:11.559
Now the stone the blackstone? Thank
you because it is black. Thank

200
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.200
you for looking that up. But
what is it called? An Arabic?

201
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:21.279
That's what I wan? Al Hajar
al aswad. The stone is called al

202
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:27.039
Jazar alha Swan. No, okay, well, curling stone is not where

203
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.319
millions of people go around it.
No, that's the Winter Olympics that is

204
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:38.279
correct. So much for conservation.
The world has consumed record amounts of coal,

205
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:44.640
oil, and gas in the last
year. The growth in fossil fuels

206
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.799
drove a two point one percent increase
in energy related emissions last year, according

207
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:56.119
to a report published today, shattering
climate scientists hopes that global energy emissions may

208
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.319
have peaked. But wait a minute, is an alternative energy growing like crazy?

209
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.880
Yes it is, but Amy,
as you have said, the use

210
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:14.119
of fossil fuels is growing more.
And this is you know, yesterday we

211
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.200
talked about this. I am not
looking forward to my kids, and well,

212
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.720
I am looking forward to my kids
and grandkids because I don't have to

213
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.640
deal with this. But it's going
to be a rough world climate wise,

214
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:30.000
very rough world. A Senate committee
approved a bill that would require women to

215
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:34.559
register for the selective services. But
this bill at this point is far from

216
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.079
becoming law. It's got to be
approved by both the chambers of Congress,

217
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:41.960
signed by the President, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But

218
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:47.359
we're moving in that direction where women
would be able to be drafted. Should

219
00:18:47.359 --> 00:18:51.960
we be in that circumstance? Yeah, And that makes sense because women are

220
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:56.440
in virtually every single arm of the
arm services. And there is at this

221
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.599
point very little difference between men and
women. I mean some biological differences,

222
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:06.839
but other than that, I wouldn't
say that. Oh is that I can't

223
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:12.599
even say there are biological differences.
Can I say there's different plumbing. You're

224
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.440
like that kid that wore that shirt
saying there were two genders? Can I

225
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.640
say women have podunkas and men have
chances? Am I allowed to say that?

226
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:29.160
I don't. Actually you mean you
mean like the but like no,

227
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.200
it depends on who refers to ish. Yeah, no, it's really not.

228
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.960
Okay, women have nether regions and
both have nether regions. We don't

229
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:42.440
have nether regions. Women have nether
regions. You sound like a modern day

230
00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:47.519
kid being taught in modern day biology. Okay, fair enough. Well,

231
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:51.039
they have different parts, but they're
not different parts. There's two, but

232
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:56.440
there's not two genders. There are
different parts. There are there is,

233
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:07.279
you know, between men and women. There's a vast difference. Just look

234
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.480
that one up. Look that one
up. Okay, Just a real quick

235
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:19.519
statement here, okay, Number one
that now it's automatic that men are register

236
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.880
for the draft. When I had
to register for the draft, I had

237
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:29.119
to register for the draft. And
this was I was at the far end

238
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.720
of the Vietnam War, just about
to end, and I had to register

239
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.519
and it was it was crazy.
And then the draft board that I dealt

240
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.839
with was the toughest draft board in
the country. It was on Colfax in

241
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:48.440
North Hollywood and they would not let
anybody off the hook. I mean literally

242
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.160
everybody got draft. You go in
and ask for this spensation. You'd ask

243
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.519
to be relieved from being in the
arm Service. People would come in with

244
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.960
one leg and the board would say, you can still hop. And in

245
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:06.880
those days, homosexuality was considered one
of the basis for not letting you in

246
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:10.359
the service. You could walk in
with a two to two and a boa

247
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:15.720
around your neck and they would not
let you out. Like Clinger. Uh

248
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.279
yeah, yeah, literally like Clinger. They just said no, you couldn't

249
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:23.119
do it. It was uh it
was pretty terrible. Oh bad teeth,

250
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.880
by the way. Also, if
you had a real tooth problem, I

251
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.000
mean they had dentists, but if
you had horrible teeth, there were guys.

252
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.079
I mean it's frightened as hell to
go to Vietnam who would have a

253
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.799
dentist through their mouth, so it
meets the criterion of teeth being bad enough

254
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.079
to where they wouldn't be drafted.
Those were the days. Now it's automatic.

255
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.400
You're actually registered for the draft automatically. People don't know that, but

256
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.839
every guy as soon as he hits
eighteen is registered for the draft, which

257
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:53.799
we don't have anymore because we don't
have conscription. But that was a policy,

258
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:57.319
not by law. We don't have
conscription. Wait, isn't it a

259
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:04.079
felony not to Yeah? Yep.
And there were people that burnt their lit

260
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:08.839
fire their draft cards because you were
issued a draft card. Also, now,

261
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:14.680
if you were smart, you did
this from Vancouver, British Columbia,

262
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.119
if you did it in the States, I mean, people went to jail

263
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.160
for that, just burning their draft
card. Didn't women go to amy?

264
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.599
Didn't women go to jail for burning
their bras? I don't know why.

265
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.720
Okay, why would you have your
draft card and your bra It's a very

266
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.079
good point. Okay, this is
a lot to follow. Yeah, let's

267
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:42.799
move on. Okay. We got
some prehistoric vandals environmental protesters spray painted Stonehenge

268
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:47.079
with orange paint. Of course,
as Bill mentioned earlier, it happened the

269
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.759
day before the huge crowds gathered for
the Summer Solstice. Video posted on x

270
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:57.039
shows the Just Stop Oil protesters spraying
the landmark. They used fire extinguishers to

271
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.279
do it. And what do they
want? They are demanding the incoming government

272
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:07.000
in Britain sign up to a legally
binding treaty to phase out fossil fuels by

273
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.519
twenty thirty. I don't think this
is going to help advance their cost.

274
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:15.720
Yeah, aren't fire singlacers oil based? No, but the paint inside them

275
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.279
maybe? Yeah? Yeah, just
wondering how many, by the way,

276
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:26.039
how many druids show up? Who
are druids for the day? Zillions?

277
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:32.359
How many real druids are out there? I don't know, There's not many.

278
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:37.960
There's some wickens and stuff. Yeah, wickens don't show up. It's

279
00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:42.079
yeah. I wonder if their shirts
were polyester when they went there too.

280
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:47.160
Oh, good point all the byproducts
if you take away all the oil bio

281
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:52.359
products. No, you're actually right. Did they drive there? You know,

282
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:57.720
tires, fuel olive their or go
on an asphalt street? Well,

283
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.119
I mean they have very little choice
not to go on asphalt street. Well,

284
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.160
all right, let's do one more
before we take a break. Okay,

285
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:14.880
two thousand year old Roman funeralary funerary
urn unearthed in southern Spain and been

286
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:19.759
shown to contain the oldest wine ever
found still in its liquid form. So

287
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:26.319
you had these folks doing a home
renovation. They found this mausoleum of sorts

288
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.720
had an urn in it, and
when they opened it up, it actually

289
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:34.440
had liquid about just a little over
a gallon worth of this reddish liquid.

290
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:41.000
They did chemical analysis, sent it
to the local school. I believe that

291
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.599
they did a chemical analysis of it
and found out that was white wine.

292
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.839
And for some reason it had been
preserved in a way that was still in

293
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.920
its liquid form white wine. You
didn't keep it, Yeah, you think

294
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.480
it turned? You think it turned. Someone that tasted it said it was

295
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:02.319
a little quirky, a little quirky. Dorees at white wine. It only

296
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:06.359
lasts for like three years. Yeah, they don't last very long. So

297
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:11.519
it has earned its place in the
pantheon of very nice the bad puns.

298
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:17.440
We don't stop, do we.
Airplanes may not be air tight. At

299
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:22.440
least two major airlines have worn pilots
that if a bird hits one of the

300
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:29.599
engines on a owing seven thirty seven
Max the cabin could become filled with smoke.

301
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.680
They've sent out a warning to Southwest
and American and then it just sort

302
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:38.079
of got the light of day recently
because they sent out the warning in February

303
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:44.160
said there's a bird strike, expect
to see problems. We'll expect to see

304
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:48.359
smoke in the cabins. But this
is an accommodation to people bring raw meat

305
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:56.519
aboard the airplane and you can smoke
the meat that did not work. Its

306
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:04.480
Southwest air Line will now be serving
peaking duck on a raar cade's but up

307
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.960
okay. So the other thing that
I thought was interesting about this story is

308
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:12.400
they said, hey, we tested
these and the engines are okay for bird

309
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:17.000
strikes. But then there actually were
bird strikes and they said, oh well,

310
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.880
those those birds that hit were bigger
than the ones that were required to

311
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:26.119
certify. So have you ever seen
the test? Have you ever seen the

312
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.640
test of the birds strike tests which
they have to do under FAA rules.

313
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:36.079
They throw chickens, obviously dead chickens
like the kind you get the supermarket,

314
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:40.240
that are defeathered, and they which
I don't understand why they should put feathers

315
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:45.240
on them, but they throw these
chickens into these engines, and it's really

316
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.119
interesting. And of course on the
other side there are people from Kentucky Fried

317
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.319
Chicken holding buckets up because you know, they don't have to cut them up.

318
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.319
But still it's and by the way, I'm not kidding, they really

319
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:02.240
do throw chickens into these engines.
Why don't they put feathers or keep the

320
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:06.119
federal because I saw it where they
just go to the supermarket and buy chickens

321
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:10.200
because someone and Peter probably complained,
Yeah, probably. So if you're throwing

322
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:14.720
a dead chicken in there and because
it's so hot and it chops him up,

323
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.000
you know that's not bad. You
know, Neil, you've talked about

324
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:21.880
ground chicken before. It's healthy for
you a little while if it goes through

325
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:26.000
the engine. Okay, But still
I think they should throw a full pig

326
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.960
through there, just in case you
vote for Trump once. Oh yeah,

327
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:37.519
excellent, Hello, Neil, you're
right all right? Rough crowd. Los

328
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:42.599
Angeles City Council committee yesterday actually on
Tuesday, back to an effort to remodel

329
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.079
the downtown Convention Center. Of course, we've got the twenty twenty eight Olympics

330
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.039
coming up, so they're saying this
might be a good time for a fifty

331
00:27:52.079 --> 00:28:00.000
four four million dollar pre construction work
for the aging center. But it's pretty

332
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.240
aggressive when you think that twenty twenty
eight is just around the corner. Have

333
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:10.480
you been to the convention center?
S not very impressive new nineteen seventy one.

334
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:12.880
You go to the convention Center,
for example, even Anaheim is one

335
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:18.240
hundred times better. Of course,
Las Vegas has dozens of convention centers.

336
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:22.839
Every major hotel is beautiful. Ours
is a little dull and look very it

337
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.640
is. Well, it's old.
It's old, it's dated like Rex the

338
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:32.880
Wonder Horse. Yeah right, this
isn't this isn't old. This is new.

339
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.480
It's a high rise for the homeless. The grand opening was held yesterday

340
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:42.559
in skid Row, two hundred and
seventy eight units and the price about six

341
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:48.880
hundred thousand dollars per unit. Yeah. I'm going to do more about this

342
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.640
coming up at the next segment at
seven o'clock. And by the way,

343
00:28:52.720 --> 00:29:00.720
I agree with Mayor Bass who has
said this skid row should not be called

344
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:06.079
skid row because of stigmatize and these
people are part of the community. And

345
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:11.000
there's one little flaw here, one
little flaw that I want to share with

346
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:14.319
you. By the way, skid
row. The reason they got skid row

347
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:17.400
is that these people just don't watch
their underwear. Okay, let's move on.

348
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:26.720
Gross. So Ferrari's jumping in the
EV laying. I suppose they're going,

349
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.039
hey, how about we build one
of these evs. We can charge

350
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:36.839
half a million dollars for it.
Come on, save up. You know

351
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.440
it's Ferrari. You know they don't
make many of them, and there's a

352
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:45.759
very limited number of Ferrari buyers in
the world, and there is a waiting

353
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:49.440
list to buy through Ferrari because it's
one of the few cars that actually go

354
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.559
up in value. I think the
most expensive car that has ever been sold

355
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:57.759
at auction was a Ferrari. And
I'm talking about nineteen sixties or my ad

356
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:03.400
late nineteen sixties, nineteen seventies,
because they're so limited. By the way,

357
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.119
that's the base model that doesn't have
any of the included features or the

358
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:14.480
person like wheels. Yeah. No, it's actually just the logo. Yeah,

359
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.079
the logo. You have to pay
for the rest of the car later.

360
00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:22.279
Here is an interesting story, Amy, Yeah, go ahead, Oh

361
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:23.960
I want yeah, I want to
make a point about this story. Okay,

362
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:30.759
so you can have Queen for a
king's ransom. The Queen Music Catalog

363
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:34.880
is being acquired by Sony Music.
They're going to pay about one point two

364
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.400
seven billion dollars. It's US money, it's a billion pounds. There was

365
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:44.799
one other group that was very close
in the bidding, but they dropped out

366
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.960
when the bidding hit nine hundred million
dollars. So we're talking about Bohemian Rhapsody.

367
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.920
Another one bites the dust. You're
my best friend. We are the

368
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.640
champions, of course. Now here's
the point I want to make is the

369
00:30:56.640 --> 00:31:03.759
Beatles catalog was sold for far less
money. The Bob Dylan catalog was just

370
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:08.839
sold for three hundred billion dollars.
And the comparison is, look at the

371
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:15.480
body of work Dylan and the Beatles
have. This is a limited body of

372
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.000
work. I mean, the hits
are like insane, insane, But I

373
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:26.640
find it interesting that you've got relatively
few songs compared to the body of work.

374
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:32.400
I mean, over decades of what
happened with the Beatles and Bob Dylan.

375
00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:38.200
And either it's inflation that has hit
big time, or you don't need

376
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:45.079
that many songs to get a billion
dollars for your publishing rights, ownership rights.

377
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.400
I bet you these songs though,
for commercials, movies and the Yeah,

378
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:52.680
that's true, much more than even
the Beatles. I don't think so.

379
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.319
I think the beat Well, I
don't know. Maybe maybe I will

380
00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.920
tell you. I'll tell you this, Bill. No one has spent this

381
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.799
much on a queen since you went
to Thailand? Am I right? Yeah?

382
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:06.720
Well said, okay, yeah,
all right, yeah, I'm out

383
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:08.279
there. Nobody there you are.
It's been that kind of a morning,

384
