Speaker 1: not done and finished.
Speaker 4: So as Amy reported as.
Speaker 1: Of one am, as when we had the figures that
Speaker 1: Michelle told this, we had as of ten pm, we
Speaker 1: had raised nine one hundred and forty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: and almost forty tons of pasta and sauce.
Speaker 4: So we're down a little No, we're not. We're ahead of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're ahead a little bit down on the pasta
Speaker 1: and sauce, so we have to push on that. And
Speaker 1: almost one hundred thousand dollars over. We were pasting at
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars over what we did last year
Speaker 1: at the same time. So last year we did one
Speaker 1: point three million dollars. By the way, there were some
Speaker 1: big managed and people that had come in just to
Speaker 1: be with us, and they happen to be around and
Speaker 1: we were talking about pastafon other radio stations when they
Speaker 1: do a charity, other local radio stations, if they hit
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, it
Speaker 1: is a miracle, just a miracle, one point three million
Speaker 1: dollars for a local radio station to raise for a charity.
Speaker 1: It's science fiction. It's on another planet.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, which is a testament to the listeners.
Speaker 4: It is, it truly is. And what we didn't do
Speaker 4: is think.
Speaker 1: And I want to thank Michelle Cube because this is
Speaker 1: her baby. She puts this together, she runs it. She
Speaker 1: just to give you an idea of the kind of
Speaker 1: work she does. She showed up yesterday about four am,
Speaker 1: I think, because when I got there at four thirty,
Speaker 1: she'd been there working, going crazy, doing her thing, and
Speaker 1: her last email went out at almost one am. She
Speaker 1: put in almost twenty hours yesterday. Needless to say, she's
Speaker 1: taking the day off today.
Speaker 2: Well she does that every year too.
Speaker 4: You know, she's.
Speaker 1: Phenomenal at putting this together. And Michelle doesn't get enough
Speaker 1: credit because she really is a hero.
Speaker 4: Of this thing.
Speaker 1: And yesterday when right after the show and I went
Speaker 1: and had met with Bruno when he served me a
Speaker 1: little breakfast, Michelle was not invited, by the way, by
Speaker 1: the way to that one.
Speaker 2: You did invite her, I didn't, Yeah you did. I
Speaker 2: came over and asked her if she wanted some eggs
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would have him delivered to her.
Speaker 2: I would have just couldn't sit with the king. Okay,
Speaker 2: well the.
Speaker 1: King being Bruno, and we talked about the charity and
Speaker 1: so anyway, Michelle, I mean pulled that off and just.
Speaker 4: Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 1: So people are still donating, Companies are still donating because
Speaker 1: we're doing this until the eighth and we still have
Speaker 1: major corporations coming in, do we and and I don't
Speaker 1: know this answer. Do we have numbers yet from Smart
Speaker 1: and Final and from Wendy's.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, because that's going through Sunday.
Speaker 1: Okay, well those are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1: So we are going to blow past one point three million.
Speaker 4: And I'm going to thank everybody.
Speaker 1: By the way, you can still donate, go to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty dot com slash pastathon. And we
Speaker 1: didn't even sell off you know, auction items.
Speaker 4: Did we you or this year station? Did the station
Speaker 4: auction items?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: John Cobalt had a one that did incredibly well, as
Speaker 2: did Gary and Shannon Conways did very well. Everybody's did
Speaker 2: very well.
Speaker 1: Nothing auctioned off. No one came me to auction off anything.
Speaker 2: What are you going to auction off?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Maybe dinner with me Anaheim Whitehouse? And you know why,
Speaker 1: because said I got so little interest that unfortunately it's
Speaker 1: rough for me to you know, sell off dinner with
Speaker 1: for example, dinner with me at the White House restaurant.
Speaker 4: Traditionally, when we used to auction.
Speaker 1: Off, actually raise less money than the actual hard costs
Speaker 1: of the food for Bruno.
Speaker 2: Well, that's because you bring family, friends, pets. Everybody wants
Speaker 2: a free meal with you.
Speaker 4: You know that's true. Yeah, and so yeah, that's okay.
Speaker 3: Anyway, the dinner with John Cobelt went for or not.
Speaker 3: The dinner the co hosting with John went for six
Speaker 3: thousand dollars, and the Dodgers game with Gary and Shannon
Speaker 3: also went for six thousand dollars. Cool, Wow, you should
Speaker 3: have done it, Bill, No.
Speaker 4: One asked me actually, yeah, something. It's humiliating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, dinner with me would have gone
Speaker 1: for like six hundred dollars. But you know who is
Speaker 1: You know, he's very generous because I bring twenty people,
Speaker 1: and I guess people got sick of it. I take
Speaker 1: half the restaurant just with the freebies.
Speaker 2: I would pay not to have dinner with you.
Speaker 1: At the White House, there was like, you know, we
Speaker 1: should do that, you know, not having dinner with me?
Speaker 4: What is that worth?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: Anyway, we're going to be reporting.
Speaker 1: This throughout well the week thright to December eighth. If
Speaker 1: you haven't donated, yes, please don't, please please donate. Also,
Speaker 1: Zelman's minty Mouth Mints very very generous folks. Yesterday announced
Speaker 1: that they were donating five hundred thousand dollars. Unfortunately, they
Speaker 1: didn't know that when I announced that, They had no
Speaker 1: idea that I had made that commitment for them. And
Speaker 1: I got a call from them and they weren't outraged.
Speaker 1: All it was from Anthony. Really, Bill, come on, Bill,
Speaker 1: are you insane?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: So they have they have donated. All I can tell
Speaker 1: you is it wasn't five.
Speaker 4: Hundred thousand dollars. Unfortunately. Do we know what the biggest
Speaker 4: donation was?
Speaker 1: By the way, Amy, do Michelle give you that information?
Speaker 3: I do not have that information.
Speaker 4: I'd like to know who the biggest donator was.
Speaker 1: Just just for kicks and giggles, you know, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: let's do it handle on the news, Amy and Neil
Speaker 1: on this Wednesday morning lead story. Nathan Hodgman is our
Speaker 1: new DA here in La County. And and oh there
Speaker 1: were prosecutors and the big police officers in the crowd
Speaker 1: cheering at his swearing in.
Speaker 4: I mean it is that five hundred people are more out,
Speaker 4: I know, just crazy. And there was just.
Speaker 1: A big picture of George Gascone behind him with a
Speaker 1: red circle and a line through it. And believe me,
Speaker 1: everybody got really thrilled. First eight day one, he undid
Speaker 1: just dozens of directives and procedures that gascon had back
Speaker 1: to traditional das.
Speaker 4: So that's good news. And he was on with seven Am.
Speaker 4: I'm going to talk about that what.
Speaker 2: He was all with John Cobolt yesterday And people were
Speaker 2: applauding in the audience in there from Orange County. Yes,
Speaker 2: because you know what happens in La Bleeds over to
Speaker 2: Orange County, so they were thrilled too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's good news. It is good news.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI a.
Speaker 1: Wednesday, Huday, December fourth, the day after Pastathon, and you
Speaker 1: can still please donate, And that's a KFI AM six
Speaker 1: forty dot com slash Pastapon Back we Go.
Speaker 4: Handle on the news with Amy and Neil and Me.
Speaker 3: President elect Trump may need to make another pick. Of course,
Speaker 3: he's running into some dissent when it comes to his
Speaker 3: nomination for the Defense secretary. They've chosen Pete Hegseth, an
Speaker 3: army veteran also a Fox News host. There are questions
Speaker 3: from key Republican senators over whether Hegseth is fit for
Speaker 3: the job. So apparently President elect Trump's team is maneuvering
Speaker 3: around behind the scenes looking for who might be a
Speaker 3: good second choice. Now no one has said publicly, at
Speaker 3: least Republicans haven't said publicly that they don't support heg Seth,
Speaker 3: but they don't know if he can survive.
Speaker 4: The h's gone. Way is there's no way with all
Speaker 4: of his baggage.
Speaker 1: Tulse Gabbard is the next one who has been nominated
Speaker 1: as head of National Intelligence. She's going to go down
Speaker 1: to the only qualification for any cabinet post that Trump
Speaker 1: is putting on the table is loyalty to him.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if the nominee has any experience, has
Speaker 1: any credentials to be a cabinet or senior level advisor
Speaker 1: or part of the government.
Speaker 4: Zero.
Speaker 1: It's straight loyalty to him. The more loyal the person is.
Speaker 1: I am how about this? I'm guessing okay, since they're
Speaker 1: trying to get the attorney general Marjorie Taylor Green, what
Speaker 1: do you think us attorney general? And the first thing
Speaker 1: she's going to order is the FBI. The FBI to
Speaker 1: investigate that pizza parlor in Chicago where the Democrats had
Speaker 1: that pedophile ring, the Democratic lawmakers had that pedophile ring.
Speaker 2: She couldn't even spell FBI.
Speaker 3: Didn't he already nominate ham Bondi for that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: But what's going to happen is, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's Trump being smart, and it could be, is
Speaker 1: that he's throwing these people out on the table, sacrificing
Speaker 1: these people that have no chance so he can get
Speaker 1: his in where normally there would be at least a struggle.
Speaker 1: He'd probably win, but at least the struggle. So now
Speaker 1: the centers go, whew, it's not at least it's not
Speaker 1: heg sith.
Speaker 2: See. This is what I said early on, is that
Speaker 2: he is showing his loyalty to the people who have
Speaker 2: been loyal to him, saying, hey, listen, I'm going to
Speaker 2: nominate you, and and then if they go away, he's like, hey,
Speaker 2: I nominated you. They turned point down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a very good point.
Speaker 1: But what said what falls through the cracks, experience, credentials,
Speaker 1: uh anything, And that's and that's the problem.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just running for president.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and called him Saudi Arabia's bitch. H that
Speaker 1: she did, which of course, huh no, she's crazy, She's crazy. Okay,
Speaker 1: another story all right.
Speaker 2: In that same vein President elect Donald J. Trump. If
Speaker 2: you remember his transition, The operation announced, uh, just yesterday
Speaker 2: that they had belatedly signed an agreement with the Justice
Speaker 2: Department that allowed the FBI to conduct background checks on
Speaker 2: people that he intends to appoint as senior officials. Now
Speaker 2: this is totally routine and normal. Uh. The belief was
Speaker 2: that he's hostile to the FBI, so he was dragging
Speaker 2: his feet on doing this. Uh even talked, I guess
Speaker 2: at one point about going with private investigators.
Speaker 1: But they have and obviously he came back on that.
Speaker 1: He walked that one back because it's so ludicals, we
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be a lot of bluster.
Speaker 1: You're going to see him walk back the tariffs and
Speaker 1: he's going to bring them in the table.
Speaker 2: I think he's going to I thought you thought you
Speaker 2: said he was just going to destroy everything and then
Speaker 2: he was going to just willy nilly bomb everything and
Speaker 2: pull the entire.
Speaker 4: He's threatening to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm becoming because I'm so pissed off that
Speaker 1: he won. Now I have to look at it and
Speaker 1: realistically appraise of what's going to happen. And a lot
Speaker 1: of what he does is bluster. A lot of what
Speaker 1: he does is bluster to reach an end, which, strangely enough,
Speaker 1: I agree with. It's just the method of him doing it.
Speaker 4: Uh. And a lot of it is just let me
Speaker 4: tell you.
Speaker 1: I'm going to show you what I'm going to do,
Speaker 1: and I don't care what normally happens FBI.
Speaker 4: I don't need to know. He hates the FBI.
Speaker 1: As you said, I'm not going to have the FBI
Speaker 1: involved in checking my nominees doing background checks. I'll hire
Speaker 1: private investigators and I'll give them the highest security clearance.
Speaker 1: And of course that didn't happen, and he said, okay
Speaker 1: to the FBI. So I think you're going to see
Speaker 1: a lot of that. I think you're going to see
Speaker 1: a lot of that.
Speaker 3: Well, martial law has come and gone in South Korea.
Speaker 3: This was just craziness. The President of South Korea early
Speaker 3: today or actually yesterday our time, lifted martial law that
Speaker 3: he had imposed hours earlier. He had said that he
Speaker 3: thought that parliament was being influenced or overrun by North
Speaker 3: Korean operatives and was worried about that, and so he
Speaker 3: said we need martial law, and then protests erupted the
Speaker 3: military came in. Helicopters were landing all over the place,
Speaker 3: troops were on the streets, and then part and got
Speaker 3: together and said no, uh huh, and they said we're
Speaker 3: not supporting that. And now the president is back down,
Speaker 3: so there's no martial law.
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, he's going to be impeached and he was
Speaker 4: fighting that.
Speaker 1: And since South Korea is a democracy, there is that
Speaker 1: he's going to have to walk out the door be
Speaker 1: impeached because that they have a constitution. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: Kim Jong un having the declare martial law?
Speaker 4: What do you mean, declare marshal law?
Speaker 3: Isn't it always martial law?
Speaker 4: It is always marshal law? Cubed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a bad joke about the Brady bunch
Speaker 2: and Jan saying Marshall, Marshall, Marshall, But I'm not going
Speaker 2: to say it. All right, Moving on, you have a
Speaker 2: person entering the United States on a student visa settling
Speaker 2: in San Bernardino County. Law enforcements forcement are now saying
Speaker 2: that he had a very focused and nefarious purpose to
Speaker 2: export export rather shipments of firearms, ammunition, other military items
Speaker 2: to North Korea. Do you now you've got federal authorities.
Speaker 2: Isn't that nuts?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't even how do you ship arms
Speaker 1: to North Korea?
Speaker 4: How does that work?
Speaker 1: I guess you'll and then other shell companies, And I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't get its plenty of its own arms. North
Speaker 1: Korea sells arms. They're arming Russia. I don't understand this.
Speaker 1: Maybe and it's and it's not those missile systems that
Speaker 1: he's shipping either, those high high end missile systems that
Speaker 1: Ukraine finally got, the ones that sit on railroad cars.
Speaker 4: So I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't get how you do that. But anyway, they
Speaker 1: arrested him. He's going to prison for twenty years. And
Speaker 1: he's an illegal alien, illegal because he came here legally
Speaker 1: on a student visa and overran it.
Speaker 4: You know, he overstated his visa. I don't know what
Speaker 4: the visa was. Okay, let's take a break. We come
Speaker 4: back at a big story coming up.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kfi AM
Speaker 5: six forty.
Speaker 1: Pastafon is still going on until the eighth. Your donation
Speaker 1: please please please help feed.
Speaker 4: The kids.
Speaker 1: And go to KFIAM six forty dot com slash pasta fond.
Speaker 4: Okay, back, we go more handle on the news.
Speaker 3: Well, the next big case for the High Court transgender
Speaker 3: medical care. The Supreme Court is going to be hearing
Speaker 3: a challenge to Tennessee's band on so called gender affirming
Speaker 3: care for minors. It's the highest profile case for the
Speaker 3: High Court so far this fall. Attorneys for the Biden
Speaker 3: administration and transgender youth in Tennessee are going to ask
Speaker 3: the judges to declare the twenty twenty three state law unconstitutional,
Speaker 3: saying it's a form of sex discrimination. State lawyers plan
Speaker 3: to argue that lawmakers were justified in restricting medical care
Speaker 3: for people under the age of eighteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now this gets interesting because there are two types
Speaker 1: of views towards a transgender within the anti transgender world.
Speaker 1: One is simple discrimination against transgender people.
Speaker 4: Which the Supreme Court says was illegal.
Speaker 1: By the way, in a case in twenty twenty, you
Speaker 1: can't discriminate against them these laws, saying medical care under
Speaker 1: the age of eighteen, that's.
Speaker 4: A legitimate argument.
Speaker 1: You may be on the other side of it, but
Speaker 1: this is totally a legitimate argument. There's some stuff that
Speaker 1: makes sense, whether you believe in that position or not,
Speaker 1: and some stuff that is just nuts.
Speaker 4: One of them being. For example, you have to.
Speaker 1: If you're born a male, even if you've become a female,
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about getting the Schwanse ectomy where the
Speaker 1: fruit package is gone and the female parts are put
Speaker 1: in place, and the breasts and all of that. So
Speaker 1: this person is a woman in heart and soul and physically,
Speaker 1: you have to go to the restroom where boys are
Speaker 1: because you were.
Speaker 4: Born a male. Amy, let me ask you. Have you
Speaker 4: ever peed at a urinal?
Speaker 3: Not once?
Speaker 4: That's exactly the point.
Speaker 1: If you're a female and you're born a male and
Speaker 1: you completely trans how do you pee without peeing down
Speaker 1: your leg?
Speaker 2: Is that really the concern that's gone before the High Court?
Speaker 4: Yes, I think so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it might be a little different than that,
Speaker 3: just just a thought.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think it boils down to that.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 2: One of the most complicated cases ever whittled down.
Speaker 1: This is this is legal analysis the first water. Don't
Speaker 1: argue with me.
Speaker 4: Who has the degree? By the way, who is a lawyer?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 4: Okay? My bar number, My bar number is nine on
Speaker 4: nine to seven one. What is yours?
Speaker 1: Huh ah?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: There is no god? Alrighty uh Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami,
Speaker 2: who should be doing magic at the Magic Castle with
Speaker 2: any suggesting the country stop its biannual ritual of falling back.
Speaker 2: It's bringing forward, advocating a permanent end to time change,
Speaker 2: in a move that has garnered broad support in the past.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants this anymore.
Speaker 4: Nobody wants this, and they're still pushing for it. And
Speaker 4: you know, people, you know.
Speaker 1: It takes a while to go back then it takes
Speaker 1: days and days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, But I'm saying, why do we why
Speaker 2: did why did the people want this?
Speaker 1: I think it was to extend if I'm not mistake,
Speaker 1: and this may be urban myth, or it could be true.
Speaker 4: For all I know, it could be apocryphal.
Speaker 1: It had to do with a farm industry where they
Speaker 1: needed more daylight for farming and waking up in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night and doing whatever. I don't know
Speaker 1: the reason. That's what I heard, But you know, hey,
Speaker 1: let's stop doing this change back and forth.
Speaker 4: It makes no sense.
Speaker 3: Arizona already doesn't do it, and they seem to be
Speaker 3: okay right now.
Speaker 1: Which state has there's one of the states that Central
Speaker 1: time and Pacific time go through the middle of the state,
Speaker 1: don't they.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, gosh, where is that. It's one side of
Speaker 3: the street is one time.
Speaker 4: Three is four o'clock. The other side of the street
Speaker 4: at three o'clock.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's happened somewhere. It's just like the border, you know,
Speaker 2: there was the committity at least could.
Speaker 1: Be the at least could could run across state lines
Speaker 1: where it's state to state. This is in the middle
Speaker 1: of a town. On either side of the street. Well,
Speaker 1: a lot of people book lunch at noon.
Speaker 2: But look at us. It's like on this side of
Speaker 2: the street, there's intelligence, there's rash now, there's all those things.
Speaker 2: And then you go over to your side of the
Speaker 2: street and it's like it's all thrown out the window.
Speaker 1: It's really Okay, I hang around a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are weird. Okay, I'll grant that.
Speaker 3: Okay, your phones are under attack. There is a cyber
Speaker 3: attack on telecommunication companies like AT and T, Verizon. US
Speaker 3: officials are recommending that Americans use encrypted messaging apps to
Speaker 3: make sure their communications stay hidden from foreign hackers. The
Speaker 3: hack is called salt Typhoon. It's one of the largest
Speaker 3: intelligence compromises in US history, and it has not yet
Speaker 3: been fully remedied. So the FBI is saying, hey, if
Speaker 3: you want to protect your mobile device communications, consider using
Speaker 3: a cell phone that automatically receives timely operating system updates
Speaker 3: and use encrypted apps.
Speaker 4: WhatsApp is one of those, right.
Speaker 3: I have no idea how do you encrypt these?
Speaker 1: I think it is so if you're gonna guys, if
Speaker 1: you're going to send those pictures of your private parts
Speaker 1: that are now public parts, do it on WhatsApp.
Speaker 4: Okay, what are they going to get?
Speaker 2: They're gonna get me randomly sending love notes texts to
Speaker 2: my wife and apologize.
Speaker 4: No, I don't think.
Speaker 1: It's love notes that go out and are shared with everybody.
Speaker 1: It's well anyway, WhatsApp seems to be the way to
Speaker 1: go and encryption because even your texts are open to hackers.
Speaker 1: Do you know that your every conversation that you have
Speaker 1: on your cell phone is monitored by the US government
Speaker 1: the NSA, Every phone conversation that goes off on cell phones,
Speaker 1: they're at algorithms. They're algorithm you know, for example, if
Speaker 1: you spend too much time you want to pressure cooker,
Speaker 1: and you spend way too much time looking at it,
Speaker 1: talking about it.
Speaker 4: You're going to get a visit.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 5: six forty.
Speaker 1: Hey, we're on Friday. We're going to do ask handle anything.
Speaker 1: We've fridayed a couple of times and it is fun.
Speaker 1: And when what we say ask candle anything, what we
Speaker 1: mean is ask handle anything, and your question and I
Speaker 1: will answer kind of I've already been completely humiliated a
Speaker 1: couple of times, so I'm going to limit it. I'm
Speaker 1: going to bring it down to ask handle almost anything,
Speaker 1: or I'll answer almost anything. So during the course of
Speaker 1: the show, go to the iHeart app if you haven't downloaded,
Speaker 1: of course it's free.
Speaker 4: You go to the KFI page at the top.
Speaker 1: Of the right hand corner. There is a microphone. Click
Speaker 1: on that microphone and you have fifteen seconds to ask
Speaker 1: a question of me, personal questions, what's going on. I
Speaker 1: don't want your political views, I don't care what you
Speaker 1: think about anything. It's simply ask me a question, and
Speaker 1: we try that and it's kind of fun. And it's
Speaker 1: sort of reverse of Handle on the Law, where I
Speaker 1: abuse and humiliate you and have a great time doing it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a reversal. And so anyway, and who
Speaker 1: Anne and Neil choose the questions? I have no idea
Speaker 1: what they are, by the way I hear them the
Speaker 1: first time, you do, so I don't select them all. Right,
Speaker 1: back we go, Let's finish up Sean Diddy Combs story
Speaker 1: or finish up handle on the news, and we'll start
Speaker 1: with this story.
Speaker 4: And that's Neil.
Speaker 2: Did he or did any That tis the question Sean
Speaker 2: Dinny Combs. Yeah, I has been accused of sexual battery again.
Speaker 2: One another woman who claims that in September of twenty sixteen,
Speaker 2: the music producer dangled her from a seventeen story balcony
Speaker 2: as others were on site, including his ex his former girlfriend,
Speaker 2: Cassie Ventura, who is the individual in that horrific Las
Speaker 2: Vegas beating video if I remember correctly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, if no one believes that he
Speaker 1: could do that, watch that video. Yeah oh yeah, him
Speaker 1: attacking her in the hall. I mean, this is a
Speaker 1: bad guy, it turns out, and he's going down. He's
Speaker 1: going to do a lot of years in prison for this.
Speaker 3: Another one bites the dust. A Florida Sheriff Chad Cronister
Speaker 3: has withdrawn from consideration as President Elect Trump's pick to
Speaker 3: lead the Drug Enforcement Administration. He says he sincerely appreciates
Speaker 3: the nomination, the outpouring of support by the American people,
Speaker 3: and forward to continuing his service as sheriff of Hillsborough County.
Speaker 3: He says, there's more work to be done.
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk about this for just a moment.
Speaker 1: The reason he had to withdraw because he's not maga enough, right,
Speaker 1: he is not conservative enough.
Speaker 4: So you've got the senators that are going to go
Speaker 4: absolutely no.
Speaker 1: Also, when I talk about in terms of credentials and experience,
Speaker 1: he is a sheriff of Hillsborough County. Hillsborough County has
Speaker 1: what two hundred people in it. I have no idea,
Speaker 1: but it's a sheriff of a small town. And he said, now,
Speaker 1: I'd rather be the sheriff of a small town. I
Speaker 1: have so much work to do, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to be head of the DEA.
Speaker 4: So what do you think it is why he's backing down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he would he would not get the confirmation
Speaker 1: he's not conservative enough.
Speaker 2: Oh he's just magish. Yeah, he's magish and he doesn't
Speaker 2: look maggash.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is maggish.
Speaker 2: All right. So now Trump is and his defense lawyers
Speaker 2: are using President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter
Speaker 2: to argue that Trump's conviction in the Manhattan hush money
Speaker 2: case should be dismissed.
Speaker 1: You wonder how that works, because what if Biden being pardon,
Speaker 1: Biden pardoning Hunter, what does that have to do with
Speaker 1: Trump's conviction. Here it is is that Biden has argued
Speaker 1: that his prosecution, the prosecution of Hunter, was politically motivated,
Speaker 1: and Trump has been saying that the entire time of
Speaker 1: his prosecution, which I believe in part is absolutely true.
Speaker 1: I also believe he's guilty of everything, but the prosecution
Speaker 1: is in fact politically motivated.
Speaker 4: With Hunter, the political motivation.
Speaker 1: He was attacked by his own Biden's own justice department.
Speaker 2: And he pleaded guilty. I mean, the reality is, shouldn't
Speaker 2: we be looking at whether these guys did it? And
Speaker 2: if they did it.
Speaker 4: That's academic.
Speaker 1: Well, everybody knew he did it, I mean Biden, I
Speaker 1: mean he there was a commitment. I mean, there's no way,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's The issue was was he going to
Speaker 1: jail time? And the argument I heard this couple days ago,
Speaker 1: and I talked about this yesterday. It was let's look
Speaker 1: at Biden's plea deal. He pled guilty to every single
Speaker 1: tax charge in a plea deal. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: Nobody pleads guilty to every charge. The whole point of
Speaker 1: a plea deal is to reduce charges. Because we're not
Speaker 1: talking about you plead for less time in prison. You
Speaker 1: plea for the dropping of some of the charges. He
Speaker 1: just played guilty and said whatever. And the argument is,
Speaker 1: we all knew his dad was going to pardon him.
Speaker 2: He was doing coke off the de defendants stand during
Speaker 2: the whole time.
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting because in front of everybody that's very
Speaker 1: into judge.
Speaker 3: Okay, hey, have you ever noticed that it's harder to
Speaker 3: open water bottles and cartons of milk?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: God, yes, Okay, there's a reason for it. It's because
Speaker 3: the plastic screw top caps have been shortened to save
Speaker 3: plastic so they are lighter. The industry says it saves plastic.
Speaker 3: It also saves weight, which leads to less energy to
Speaker 3: transport them, a lower carbon footprint, and a lower cost
Speaker 3: to produce the packaging. The flip side of it, the
Speaker 3: problem is that the caps on like half gallon paper
Speaker 3: cartons of milk and juice and plastic soda and water
Speaker 3: bottles are harder to turn, and sometimes the body of
Speaker 3: the plastic bottles turn. I've had that up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, and they're they're diminishing the amount of
Speaker 1: plastic in the bottle themselves. Do you ever notice that
Speaker 1: if you poke a bottle of milk too hard, your
Speaker 1: finger goes right through the bottle?
Speaker 4: Pretty flimsy, Aryl, Can I buy the two ply bottle please?
Speaker 1: So? Yeah, you know the Kirkland water bottle, which I
Speaker 1: have purchased when workers come because I don't want him
Speaker 1: in the house and so they have to either it
Speaker 1: tose water or it is uh bottled water from Kirkland.
Speaker 1: And have you ever have you ever seen how flimsy
Speaker 1: those are? Those water bottles? I mean they just crunched
Speaker 1: the second.
Speaker 4: You even touch them.
Speaker 1: All right, I think we're done, guys, yep, we are finished,
Speaker 1: all right?
