Speaker 1: You're listen Saints KFI AM six forty the bill Handle
Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeartRadio f and this is
Speaker 1: KFI bill Handle here on a Wednesday morning, Humday, September eighteen.
Speaker 1: Some of the stories we're looking at, Hez Belah is
Speaker 1: saying they're going to respond to that insane Israeli attack
Speaker 1: using pagers explosive devices in pagers that thousands of his
Speaker 1: Blah members were using. It's just it's crazy, and I'll
Speaker 1: do that story coming up the next segment.
Speaker 2: Okay, Monday was kind of an interesting day.
Speaker 1: Sean Diddy Coombs was arrested and we knew something was
Speaker 1: First of all, the allegations against him had been going on.
Speaker 2: For years and years.
Speaker 1: It was an open secret, not only in the industry
Speaker 1: but in general that this guy, well say, his sexual proclivities,
Speaker 1: and he had the money, and he had the fame,
Speaker 1: and he was one of those people can do anything
Speaker 1: he wanted because he shann did he Combs Well or
Speaker 1: p Diddy or Diddy or any one of another bunch
Speaker 1: of names. If you saw the front of the indictment
Speaker 1: sheet federal government against him lists all of his names,
Speaker 1: and there's probably a dozen of them that.
Speaker 2: He has used over the years.
Speaker 1: But do you remember when his mansion, both in the
Speaker 1: La Mansion and the Florida Mansion were both rated by
Speaker 1: the Feds and the lawsuits against him for sexual impropriety
Speaker 1: and harassment and attack sexual attacks. Ten of them I
Speaker 1: have been filed and he settled a couple of them,
Speaker 1: one instantly. Cassie, who was his former girlfriend, she filed
Speaker 1: the next day it was settled. Well, here is what
Speaker 1: he was arrested for and he's being without bail, using
Speaker 1: his money, his lifestyle, the media, music companies to orchestrate
Speaker 1: a widespread criminal enterprise. This is the allegation. And this
Speaker 1: include his security, personal assistant staff to help him, abuse, threatened,
Speaker 1: coerce women and others to fulfill his sexual desires. And
Speaker 1: he would have these parties that he would just to
Speaker 1: really wild parties that he had and these were called
Speaker 1: what freakings? Is that what he called them? Just crazy
Speaker 1: crazy parties? Do I have that write freak offs, not freakins.
Speaker 2: I knew that.
Speaker 1: And when you look at the allegations, by the way
Speaker 1: they have them, we'll tell you right now he can
Speaker 1: say whatever he wants. This is the FEDS spending years
Speaker 1: investigating him insanely high profile. You will not see a
Speaker 1: plea agreement here. It's just not going to happen. The
Speaker 1: allegations are really serious, I mean really serious, everything from
Speaker 1: kidnapping to sexual assault to interstate commerce of people for
Speaker 1: the purposes of sex hiring male sex workers. Where do
Speaker 1: you find a.
Speaker 2: Male to stoop women so he could see them.
Speaker 1: I always thought male sex workers were like in the
Speaker 1: gay community, and so I don't know, you do they advertise?
Speaker 1: I have to look to see because last time I
Speaker 1: went on grinder to see what was going on, and
Speaker 1: no one was actually charging in any case, very serious stuff.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you why he's going to go down big,
Speaker 1: because when the Feds indict along these lines, there is
Speaker 1: no way around it. They have all the evidence you
Speaker 1: can possible. We imagine there's no way out of this,
Speaker 1: and there's probably going to be a trial because he
Speaker 1: has no reason not to go to trial.
Speaker 2: It's going to be insanely high profile.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're going to be covering it, of course,
Speaker 1: and you can always go to his attorneys, right because
Speaker 1: I love the statements of his attorneys, and this is
Speaker 1: any criminal accusation against someone this high profile. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to quote his attorney now, okay, quote, we are
Speaker 1: disappointed with a decision to pursue what we believe is
Speaker 1: an unjust prosecution of mister Colembs by the.
Speaker 2: US Attorney's office. Sean Diddy.
Speaker 1: Colmbs is a music icon, true self made entrepreneur, true
Speaker 1: loving family man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: Proven philanthropist Yep spent the last thirty years building an empire,
Speaker 1: adoring his children. Okay, I'll buy that, working to uplift
Speaker 1: the black community. Yeah, he's an imperfect person, but he's
Speaker 1: not a criminal. How about whether he did any of
Speaker 1: that stuff or not? Notice how the attorney has not
Speaker 1: said he didn't do any of that.
Speaker 2: What does that tell you?
Speaker 1: Is his defense really going to be he gives money
Speaker 1: to great causes, that's going to impress the jury as
Speaker 1: to what happened.
Speaker 2: And here is I'm gonna say stupid, And then this.
Speaker 1: Guy is far from stupid, because the guy is in
Speaker 1: many cases a visionary, breaking new ground of phenomenal entrepreneurs
Speaker 1: worth a billion dollars and he's self made, So you
Speaker 1: have to give him a lot of credit for that,
Speaker 1: which can't give him credit for is again he's above
Speaker 1: the law.
Speaker 2: The rules don't apply.
Speaker 1: So not only did the allegation, not only did he
Speaker 1: do all of this, he taped it all.
Speaker 2: He videoed it all happening.
Speaker 1: And the FBI when they rated him, I think was
Speaker 1: a department, was it the DOJ or it was DHI
Speaker 1: investigative agency went in, grabbed all of his stuff in
Speaker 1: that raid that we were talking about in La and
Speaker 1: in Miami, and there's all the video that's there. Remember
Speaker 1: we saw that video of him in the hotel room
Speaker 1: where he and I think it was Cassie who he was.
Speaker 1: She's in the hall, he grabs her, he punches her,
Speaker 1: he kicks her, he drags her and he's in a
Speaker 1: towel and then they go into a room and she
Speaker 1: files a lawsuit the next day and it settles that
Speaker 1: quickly apologized for that incidantly. He did apologize, saying he
Speaker 1: was out of control and he's not that kind of
Speaker 1: a guy. Well, we're gonna see how much apology is
Speaker 1: going to happen. I think this is a lesson in hubris.
Speaker 1: Sometimes people who are this wealthy, who control this many
Speaker 1: these many peoples, they just are above the law. I
Speaker 1: had a guy who I knew, who is in prison
Speaker 1: right now for killing his wife, and I actually knew him.
Speaker 2: It's a great story.
Speaker 1: I've told that story before, and this is the kind
Speaker 1: of philosophy I won't get caught. I'm the smartest guy
Speaker 1: in the room. I'm above the law. And guess what
Speaker 1: you know, I don't care how rich you are. When
Speaker 1: the DOJ or federal agency goes after, you're screwed, unless
Speaker 1: you happen to be very well connected politically. And I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about now with Donald Trump, although there were
Speaker 1: plenty of pardons that were given and will be given
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton with that financial a hole. I think it
Speaker 1: was Mark Rich who ripped people off, or it was
Speaker 1: accused of ripping people off, and he got a pardon
Speaker 1: two minutes after before Clinton leaves office out comes the pardons.
Speaker 1: So short of that kind of connection, which I don't
Speaker 1: think Colmbs has, I think we're going to see he'll
Speaker 1: be wrapping from jail for a very long time.
Speaker 2: You know, he'll be talking about.
Speaker 1: Well, the sexual escapades that he will have in prison
Speaker 1: will be limited to only one or two things, and
Speaker 1: he will be complaining about it.
Speaker 2: I guarantee you, all right, We're done with that, all right.
Speaker 1: An amazing story that came out of the Middle East
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and that has to do
Speaker 1: with what Israel did to Hezbollah.
Speaker 2: His Belah controls southern Lebanon.
Speaker 1: It is a terrorist organization, and Israel and his Bela
Speaker 1: since the war in Gaza have been going tit for
Speaker 1: tat back and forth, missiles launched.
Speaker 2: All of northern.
Speaker 1: Israel has been evacuated, all of southern Lebanon has been evacuated,
Speaker 1: and so both sides are looking, do we really want
Speaker 1: to get into it, and they're holding back to his Blah.
Speaker 2: The only reason they're engaging in this.
Speaker 1: Is because of their solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza,
Speaker 1: and I think they think I think they think that
Speaker 1: maybe a.
Speaker 2: Full blown war isn't worth it.
Speaker 1: So with that Hezbollah is terrorist organization, and because they
Speaker 1: are always planning somehow to attack Israel, they foregoed cell phones.
Speaker 2: They were telling their members their military arm.
Speaker 1: To not use cell phones because the Israelis have the
Speaker 1: ability to intercept. So what we're going to do is
Speaker 1: we are going to use pagers, old old school pagers,
Speaker 1: and so they bought a bunch of them from this
Speaker 1: Taiwanese company.
Speaker 2: I'd supplied them by the thousands.
Speaker 1: I guess if you're buy in bulk, you get them
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper than buying individually.
Speaker 2: Well, what Israel was able to.
Speaker 1: Do and we don't know how, and we don't know when,
Speaker 1: and we don't know where in this process in the
Speaker 1: distribution line or the manufacturing line they were able to
Speaker 1: The Israelis were able to put in small amounts of explosives,
Speaker 1: less than an ounce of explosives inside those pagers. And
Speaker 1: Israel had the ability to simply press a button, send
Speaker 1: a signal to those pagers and they blow up.
Speaker 2: And they did that.
Speaker 1: Nine people died, twenty five hundred wounded. Video out there
Speaker 1: of people with lost fingers, damaged eyes, abdominal lacerations, wounds
Speaker 1: on the ground, dead, collapsing, And Israel at first said, well,
Speaker 1: they never comment on this, although CNN has come straight
Speaker 1: out and said, Israel did this, and so what do
Speaker 1: you do? What do they do? And so why would
Speaker 1: Israel do this? And I'm trying to figure out during
Speaker 1: the cord these times, you would think that Israel would
Speaker 1: sort of take a step back and not specifically attack
Speaker 1: Hisbelah or not specifically attack Iran for fear of this
Speaker 1: regional war. They're pretty busy with hamas well. Kamas isn't
Speaker 1: really much of a war. Kamas doesn't have the ability
Speaker 1: to fight Israel. I mean, they have low grade weapons.
Speaker 1: They don't have artillery, they don't have tanks, they don't
Speaker 1: have any of that. They don't have error striking abilities,
Speaker 1: none of it. Hezbollah has missiles, Hezbollah has pretty sophisticated arms.
Speaker 1: And of course Iran, even though it is not as
Speaker 1: well equipped or well trained, maybe it is as well
Speaker 1: trained their army as Israel or NATO. That's too different.
Speaker 1: That regional war is going to explode in a whole
Speaker 1: different light if that is a nighted. But what does
Speaker 1: this teach you? Well, now, maybe you don't want to
Speaker 1: screw these.
Speaker 2: With the Israelis so much.
Speaker 1: I ask some of the Palestinians who are afraid to
Speaker 1: go public with this.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe that.
Speaker 1: Attack on October seventh shouldn't have happened.
Speaker 2: Maybe it wasn't worth it.
Speaker 1: With two thirds or three quarters of every Palestinian now
Speaker 1: being displaced and probably a third of the buildings rubble,
Speaker 1: every university gone, infrastructure gone, and even when this.
Speaker 2: Thing ends, then it will end. There's no question about it.
Speaker 2: It will end.
Speaker 1: It will take at least one generation to bring Gaza back.
Speaker 1: And if Hazballah decides they're really going to attack, and
Speaker 1: Israel's prepared to go to war, I mean, Israel doesn't
Speaker 1: scrow around. They're prepared. There's gonna be no surprise invasions here.
Speaker 1: Southern Lebanon will be a parking lot. And is Hezbollah
Speaker 1: willing to do that because of solidarity with the Palestinians
Speaker 1: and Hamas. Right now, both Israel and Hezbollah are sort
Speaker 1: of playing or sort of what's the word I'm looking for,
Speaker 1: as I said earlier, tit for tat.
Speaker 2: They're sending over some missiles.
Speaker 1: Israel attacks a couple of targets, Hesbelah sends over some
Speaker 1: more missile missiles. Israel attacks a few more products, a
Speaker 1: few more locations with the air force, and at this
Speaker 1: point there is an all out war.
Speaker 2: But they're prepared.
Speaker 1: Israel's prepared for a war in the north with Hezbollah,
Speaker 1: and they're willing to fight a war in Iran.
Speaker 2: And could they do a war.
Speaker 1: With all three, Well, Gaza doesn't really count as a war.
Speaker 1: It's all about the hostages in Gaza and Hamas. But
Speaker 1: are they prepared to go to war with both the
Speaker 1: Iran and with Hesbalat, Yeah, I think they are.
Speaker 2: Would Israel lose that war?
Speaker 1: I think there's a good chance of this little country
Speaker 1: fighting all those forces. Then you have the Hutis and Yemen,
Speaker 1: and you have the remnants of Isis al Qaida, just
Speaker 1: little bits and pieces.
Speaker 2: Of it in Rock still.
Speaker 1: And one thing that we don't talk about very much is.
Speaker 2: Israel has the bomb. It has nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: And I don't doubt for a second that if Israel
Speaker 1: is about to go, if Israel is going to cease
Speaker 1: to exist, which is exactly is what Iran wants, Law wants,
Speaker 1: what Hamas wants.
Speaker 2: They've all said that the destruction of Israel.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, there are going to be some
Speaker 1: cities that are going to be in a world of
Speaker 1: hurt because I don't think Israel would hesitate at all
Speaker 1: as it was going down. It'll take everybody with it,
Speaker 1: we're hoping. I mean, we are that close to a war.
Speaker 1: Scary scary stuff. Okay, Now, before we go on to
Speaker 1: the topic of the Secret Service, the situation in the
Speaker 1: Midle East has just taken yet another turn. Amy, I'm
Speaker 1: going to throw it to you for a moment if
Speaker 1: you can report on what has just happened.
Speaker 3: Okay, what we just found out, and we don't have
Speaker 3: a lot of information about it, is that several explosions
Speaker 3: have been heard in and around Beirut at the site
Speaker 3: of a funeral for three of the Hesbola members and
Speaker 3: a child who were killed by those pagers that all
Speaker 3: exploded simultaneous yesterday. The explosions are reported in several areas
Speaker 3: of Lebanon. It says Hesbola is saying that what blew
Speaker 3: up this time was walkie talkies, so it wasn't pagers today.
Speaker 3: It was walkie talkies. And of course thousands of pagers
Speaker 3: were detonated yesterday and about three thousand people were hurt,
Speaker 3: and they're saying now the number of people killed was
Speaker 3: up to twelve.
Speaker 1: Now that is interesting because Hebelah has been cognizant of
Speaker 1: Israel's ability, and this is mainly through the massade. Israel's
Speaker 1: ability to intercept cell phone conversations, which is why a
Speaker 1: lot of what's going on in Gaza Hamas they don't
Speaker 1: use cell phones because Israel intercepts that stuff.
Speaker 2: So you can see what happened with the pagers.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hebola bought thousands of pagers from this one company.
Speaker 1: I talked about this in the last segment, and Israel
Speaker 1: was able to somehow during the manufacturing or distribution process
Speaker 1: get explosives in those pagers and blow them all up
Speaker 1: at the same time. Now, walkie talkies, we're how many
Speaker 1: of those exploded, because the only way they can explode
Speaker 1: is an explosive device or explosives have to be planted
Speaker 1: inside the communications device itself, and then how do you
Speaker 1: set them off? I can see pagers because a signal
Speaker 1: is sent to the pagers.
Speaker 2: That's just how they work.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, get a phone call or you
Speaker 1: get a page, and then you're looking at it and
Speaker 1: then you respond with some kind of a phone call.
Speaker 1: So I can see mechanically how it works with pagers,
Speaker 1: how it works with walkie talkies.
Speaker 2: I have no idea. That could be a radio frequency
Speaker 2: of some kind, sure, but it could be. And are
Speaker 2: they all the same?
Speaker 1: But again, the radio frequency they can get to the.
Speaker 2: Explosive you can't.
Speaker 1: They have to be up and you need it explosive
Speaker 1: inside there. Yeah, of course, so, and I just don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm just questioning where I can see what happened with
Speaker 1: the pagers. There's a direct line. They order thousands. There's
Speaker 1: one company that shipped them to Hesbelah got it. They
Speaker 1: got involved somewhere in the process the Wakie talkies.
Speaker 2: Maybe the same thing happened.
Speaker 1: And what's incredibly ironic is at I mean, think of this.
Speaker 1: You talk about just adding insult to injury. The Wakie
Speaker 1: talkies has been reported blew up at a funeral or
Speaker 1: at funerals that happened to the victims of the previous
Speaker 1: day or a couple of days before. With the pagers,
Speaker 1: really interesting stuff.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens, and as.
Speaker 1: We get more information, Amy just share it because I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know what Israel is doing. Are they going
Speaker 1: out of their way to just keep on poking the bear?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: We still are looking at the assassination attempt on former
Speaker 1: President Trump, two of them now and as a result
Speaker 1: of what happened the second time, there's talk about how
Speaker 1: the Secret Service needs a lot more funding, much more
Speaker 1: in terms of resources and more agents, et cetera.
Speaker 2: But I have to tell you, as I look at it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because one of the things that happened, well,
Speaker 1: the first assassination attempt where the bullets got were shot
Speaker 1: where Donald Trump his ear was nick Thank goodness, it
Speaker 1: didn't go two inches the other way that would have
Speaker 1: killed him. That was a lack of communication. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a lack of Secret Service. It wasn't a lack of resources.
Speaker 1: It was a lack of communication between Secret Service, local
Speaker 1: law enforcement, and just plain bad planning.
Speaker 2: It's not a question resource.
Speaker 1: This is a question of intelligence and how they pulled
Speaker 1: it off. Now, let's look at this incident that just happened.
Speaker 1: Happens on his golf course. He's playing golf and from
Speaker 1: a pro public area on there are a bunch of
Speaker 1: bushes and then the golf course and the golf course
Speaker 1: is from what I.
Speaker 2: Understand, not well, it is chained off.
Speaker 1: But the shooter, prospective shooter, punitive shooter, was able to
Speaker 1: get that gun through the chain link fence, just one
Speaker 1: of those little holes in the fence, and he was
Speaker 1: seen by a Secret Service agent and shots were fired
Speaker 1: and he ran away. So it wasn't even close. And
Speaker 1: here is what's not being talked about a lot. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is a private citizen, while he has Secret Service
Speaker 1: protection and will do more so all the candidates. He
Speaker 1: decided he was going to play golf. That's that this
Speaker 1: wasn't planned. He woke up and he said, I'm going
Speaker 1: to play golf. Now the Secret Service got they got
Speaker 1: enough information, They were able to get enough just to
Speaker 1: send out the agents.
Speaker 2: And what they did is.
Speaker 1: One of the agents went in the fairway, the whole
Speaker 1: in front of what the president was, the former president
Speaker 1: where he was playing, and then also.
Speaker 2: Behind and then there was some encircling.
Speaker 1: So there was protection, but not as much as if
Speaker 1: he was going out on a plan trip. When this
Speaker 1: thing is planned, the Secret Service goes crazy. A sitting
Speaker 1: president does not just arbitrarily say you know what, I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go play golf. It doesn't work that way.
Speaker 1: It is all planned out. There are agents that go beforehand.
Speaker 1: They surround the president, they check out the buildings. This case,
Speaker 1: they brought a guy who was in front, an agent
Speaker 1: who was behind, and they did their job. They did
Speaker 1: exactly what they were supposed to do. There is no
Speaker 1: issue as to there weren't.
Speaker 2: Enough agents there.
Speaker 1: Now, because of the backlash on this, there will be
Speaker 1: more money spent for Secret Service agents.
Speaker 2: Congress was not big about this.
Speaker 1: Now that former President Trump there have been two attempts
Speaker 1: on his life, Congress has woken up and saying, okay,
Speaker 1: now we have to put this on the front.
Speaker 2: Burner instead of the back burner.
Speaker 1: And of course, since it is former President Trump who's
Speaker 1: really been the target of the assassination attempts, Mike Johnson,
Speaker 1: who is speaker, who is a Trump sickophant, is saying
Speaker 1: we have to pass this right now. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we have to pass it right now. Are there
Speaker 1: enough resources? I think the takeaway here is the second
Speaker 1: attempt attempt where former President Trump said I'm going to
Speaker 1: go golfing.
Speaker 2: Thank you didn't give enough, didn't give enough a.
Speaker 1: Time for the Secret Service to act, didn't give them
Speaker 1: a time to plan. I mean, none of that happened.
Speaker 1: He's allowed to go golfing, although probably not anymore.
Speaker 2: My guess.
Speaker 1: If he says I'm going to go golfing, got you
Speaker 1: got it, mister president. You can go golfing in about
Speaker 1: an hour and a half, two hours while we secure
Speaker 1: every bit of that golf course. So those days are gone.
Speaker 1: You know, there used to be a time and just
Speaker 1: a little bit of history here. When to Harry Truman
Speaker 1: was president in I States. You know, he would take
Speaker 1: walks around the White House. You could actually go up
Speaker 1: and say hello to him. A sitting president would be
Speaker 1: out Lincoln, Oh Lincoln, people were, oh yeah, you could
Speaker 1: walk into offices, you're waiting waiting rooms, Oh yeah, nothing,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, Now it's even JFK. There were times when
Speaker 1: he just wanted to jump in a car and drive
Speaker 1: around town, and he did it and left Secret Service behind.
Speaker 2: I think that would happen today.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to give kudos to the Secret Service
Speaker 1: on certainly on the second attempt that just happened, because
Speaker 1: they did everything they were supposed to.
Speaker 2: Do with very little notice, very little notice.
Speaker 1: And the first time around there was a real problem,
Speaker 1: but it was in communication and planning. I don't know
Speaker 1: if there weren't enough agents there. I think they're very
Speaker 1: well may have been. It was just not putting agency,
Speaker 1: not clearing the spot where the assassin up on top
Speaker 1: of the building took the potshot at the president, the
Speaker 1: former president.
Speaker 2: Okay, we are done with that, so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be more money there'll be more Secret Service agent,
Speaker 1: and then kno will be able to play secret serviceman
Speaker 1: right many many times while we talk about this. KFI
