Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles
Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: F It became a lot more woke, where we had
Speaker 2: to pull back so much that the show had to change.
Speaker 3: Here comes the pendulum. You know what.
Speaker 1: I'm having more fun, I'm offending more groups, I am
Speaker 1: pissing off more people.
Speaker 3: And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Speaker 3: Bill Handle.
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, good morning, thanks Giving weekend and Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: is done. It is finished, and so okay, onwards and
Speaker 1: upwards till the end of the year coming up. Oh,
Speaker 1: tomorrow's positive. And I'll tell you about that in a moment.
Speaker 1: And then we're on our way to the holidays. I
Speaker 1: have some we're talking a little bit about shopping.
Speaker 3: We're certainly going to talk to Neil about.
Speaker 1: Eating and maybe even food gifts and what do you
Speaker 1: do for the holidays?
Speaker 3: What do you do for Christmas?
Speaker 1: You know that Yule log and the goose.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, a lot of that.
Speaker 1: So anyway, let me cook alow, and then I want
Speaker 1: to go uh and ask everybody how their Thanksgiving was,
Speaker 1: And I want to pretend that I actually give a
Speaker 1: rats amy, good morning, Hi, Bill Hi sweater USA plastered
Speaker 1: all over it. You might as well have a picture
Speaker 1: of Trump on there.
Speaker 4: That is, it has nothing to do with it. I
Speaker 4: know because I understood that sweater for twenty years.
Speaker 3: I understand.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately now anybody who has an American flag out
Speaker 1: in their front yard, you know immediately.
Speaker 3: That's the shame of it.
Speaker 5: That's so stupid. Everyone's flag.
Speaker 3: I'm true, but it's true. Here's though.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not making a value judgment except now that's
Speaker 1: unfortunately they've been connected. Just let you know, at least
Speaker 1: the way I view it, certainly in my neighborhood.
Speaker 4: Where you just connected it.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, to hear the Tim.
Speaker 1: When I went to Tim on his event, I stopped
Speaker 1: in at the Wendy's in Mission Via, Ho and it
Speaker 1: was Orange County crowd, and Tim and I were joking
Speaker 1: about how many American flags were out there and how
Speaker 1: even he pointed out, that's become basically a sign for Hey,
Speaker 1: we voted for Trump, And I said, at my place,
Speaker 1: Lindsay happens to be a very liberal person. So we
Speaker 1: have the flag. First of all, we had a Harris
Speaker 1: Harris Waltz flag out there, and then that little banner
Speaker 1: you put out. We believe in LGBTQ rights, we believe
Speaker 1: in reproductive rights. This is a home that's all loving.
Speaker 1: You know that stuff that you hear, You know that.
Speaker 1: And I said, you know, we're going to die when
Speaker 1: it first went up. You understand they're going to kill
Speaker 1: us here and Tim then went to a crowd. The
Speaker 1: crowd there must have been one hundred people there. How
Speaker 1: many people voted for Trump? Everybody but four people raise
Speaker 1: their hands? How many people voted for Harris? For people
Speaker 1: in the crowd. And I turned to Tim and I go,
Speaker 1: and this is why I'm probably not alive. By the way,
Speaker 1: It's not to say that I'm was a hair A
Speaker 1: supporter at all, but you know, well you know where
Speaker 1: I stand.
Speaker 3: Enough of that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so much for Amy, USA, USA, very patriotic, Good
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 4: And I had a great Thanksgiving. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: I about to ask that who do you have Thanksgiving with?
Speaker 4: I did my brother and his girlfriend and a couple
Speaker 4: other friends. And it was delicious. We did Armenian takeout,
Speaker 4: like instead of us cooking the bird, they did it
Speaker 4: for us.
Speaker 3: So it was there a lot of was there a
Speaker 3: lot of hair on the turkey.
Speaker 4: Stop it. No, the turkey was delicious, decides were delicious,
Speaker 4: everything was so good. And the only problem was that
Speaker 4: I was talking about in wake up Call is that
Speaker 4: the bird was cooked breasts down. Neil and I went
Speaker 4: to carve the turkey and I literally was cutting into it.
Speaker 4: When where's the breast? I can't what's wrong with this bird?
Speaker 4: Something's wrong. In about five minutes in I go, oh,
Speaker 4: it's upside down.
Speaker 3: It's upside down.
Speaker 4: And after that everything went very smoothly. But until then
Speaker 4: I was like, this is the weirdest turkey I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: And you didn't bring out the fake mustaches for the
Speaker 1: women to put on for Thanksgiving meal. I don't get that. Okay,
Speaker 1: so much for well, we started already started the show, Okay.
Speaker 1: Armenian women beautiful, beautiful even you know, yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean they're gorgeous.
Speaker 3: They're gorgeous. Although I will they are absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 1: Although I must tell you that one of the best
Speaker 1: gifts that they can receive is a gellet, really fancy gellett,
Speaker 1: you know, a fancy kid Okay.
Speaker 6: Beef of that heil from the man who looks like
Speaker 6: he's wearing a wool sweater.
Speaker 5: When he has his top off.
Speaker 3: That's true. Actually, that's true. Okay, Neil.
Speaker 5: Morning, good morning Bill.
Speaker 3: How is your Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Neal?
Speaker 5: It was wonderful, wonderful. We had a lot of things
Speaker 5: to celebrate.
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving coincided with near my son's eighth birthday, my father
Speaker 6: in law's eightieth birthday. There was a lot of celebrations
Speaker 6: going on. So it's been just a whirlwind of celebration.
Speaker 3: Ryan, Okay, and Thanksgiving it was great.
Speaker 4: Went into family's house and really enjoy ourselves.
Speaker 3: You can cook, all right, Kno, how is yours?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 3: Thank you? That's very that's very helpful. Okay.
Speaker 1: My Thanksgiving, I was putting down my dog, little Gucci.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it took a turn for the worst. An affection
Speaker 1: hit and it went it went south. So yesterday we
Speaker 1: had the vet come to put Gucci down.
Speaker 3: And so the vet walks in the door.
Speaker 1: Gucci has not gotten out of bed for three or
Speaker 1: four days already, she's.
Speaker 3: Peeing in the bed, she's not eating. I mean, she's
Speaker 3: a mess.
Speaker 1: The vet walks in, Gucci gets up, trots over to
Speaker 1: the vet, tails wagging.
Speaker 3: I mean, she was just short of doing.
Speaker 1: Circus tricks with the vet, and the vet is looking
Speaker 1: at us, going, you're putting down this dog? Are you nuts?
Speaker 1: And I'm going we're putting down this dog? Are you nuts?
Speaker 1: And Lindsey said, I'm telling you this. She's put down
Speaker 1: five dogs already. And she said this is sort of
Speaker 1: a flash in the pan. They sometimes do this, and
Speaker 1: so the second.
Speaker 5: Vet was.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, the actual doctor. Yeah, you know what she is,
Speaker 6: the black widow of dogs. She put down five dogs
Speaker 6: she killed.
Speaker 3: That's over the years. Okay, anyway, so dog, here's what happened.
Speaker 1: After Gucci started doing circus tricks and doing flip in
Speaker 1: front of the vet. The second the vet walked out
Speaker 1: the door, Gucci hobbled over to her bed and has
Speaker 1: not gotten out of the bed.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: So it looks like today, Yeah.
Speaker 1: So tough. Uh.
Speaker 5: Has Lindsay picked out a new dog yet?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: The second the second the decision was made, a dog
Speaker 1: was was already picked out for Tommy's Tommy has never
Speaker 1: been without a dog. Tommy from the time Tommy was
Speaker 1: literally came to the house, there was always a dog there.
Speaker 5: And then because she recycles them.
Speaker 3: It's very funny.
Speaker 1: Okay, It's it's like soilent green for pets.
Speaker 5: Dude, she's gonna kill you and take your money.
Speaker 1: Anyways, it's heartbreaking, and the dog is and the dog
Speaker 1: guys have to be put down. Unfortunately, the circus tricks
Speaker 1: was only for the vat. I mean it was just weird,
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 6: I mean, not sleep around her anymore. She's gonna say, look,
Speaker 6: he's been in bed for four days.
Speaker 1: Okay, nicely said No, she just knows, she knows a
Speaker 1: lot more than the vet did.
Speaker 3: And these these circumstances. By the way, five dogs are over.
Speaker 3: The five dogs are over the decades.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know, don't she actually loves dogs, so
Speaker 1: that's you know. Or I'll just make fun of her.
Speaker 1: That works too, all right, So today a little bit
Speaker 1: depressed because as much as I love making fun of
Speaker 1: your dog being put down, it's very different when my
Speaker 1: dog is being put down.
Speaker 5: Well, get used to it. Are you gonna go through
Speaker 5: a couple dozen more? I bet?
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go ahead.
Speaker 1: You know you're ruining me this morn't. Usually it's my
Speaker 1: job to do what you are doing. It's what I
Speaker 1: do to you versus what you're doing today to me.
Speaker 1: So here's what I think I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: We're gonna take We're gonna take a break.
Speaker 1: I'm walking out the door, and we're gonna come back
Speaker 1: with the Neils Aders show right up until nine o'clock.
Speaker 3: Okay, you got it, kill you got it? No, No,
Speaker 3: you got it, you have it. Okay, Kono, can you
Speaker 3: do the show? Yeah, you'll take it over from here.
Speaker 5: I'm telling you you better run.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, all right, let's do it. Tandal on the
Speaker 1: news with Amy Neil and me Leaf story.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're not through the math, you know how.
Speaker 1: President Biden said he will never pardon his son Hunter.
Speaker 1: He said that over and over again. Very nice, Kno.
Speaker 1: He kept on saying that, and guess what he pardoned
Speaker 1: his son Hunter and using the same logic that President
Speaker 1: Trump used when he was indicted and he was convicted,
Speaker 1: and that is, you really didn't go You went after
Speaker 1: me for political purposes against me, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: a lot of that is true. And Biden says, you
Speaker 1: went after my son.
Speaker 3: For political purpose. Here's the problem.
Speaker 1: It's Biden's Department of Justice then went after Biden's son.
Speaker 1: Now was there political pressure? Certainly the Republicans did. But
Speaker 1: you know which way do you go. There was a
Speaker 1: Biden had a firewall between the Department of Justice, which
Speaker 1: will not happen in the next administration, where the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice was left alone.
Speaker 3: And that's what Biden said, We're going to leave it alone,
Speaker 3: going to leave it alone.
Speaker 1: And then as soon as Trump gets elected, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to pardon Hunter and we'll talk more about that,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot to that story. And so President
Speaker 1: Hypocrite is leaving office on January twentieth, and we'll certainly
Speaker 1: follow that story.
Speaker 3: Come on right up at the top of the hour.
Speaker 4: President elect Trump is shaking things up at the FBI.
Speaker 4: He announced over the weekend that he wants his new
Speaker 4: FBI director to be cash Ptel. He has accused the
Speaker 4: agency of leading a deep state which hunt against mister Trump.
Speaker 4: Christopher Ray, of course, is the FBI director. He was
Speaker 4: appointed by Trump. He still has almost three years left
Speaker 4: on a ten year term, but apparently Trump doesn't want
Speaker 4: to wait that long.
Speaker 1: He also doesn't want anybody independent, and he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to have anybody that runs the FBI with any kind
Speaker 1: of background in law enforcement.
Speaker 3: It is I've say this over and over again. It's
Speaker 3: loyalists who are getting these positions. That's it.
Speaker 1: Experience doesn't matter, Credentials, it doesn't matter. It's are you
Speaker 1: a loyalist? And he was one of the biggest loyalists.
Speaker 1: He's a right wing operative. And he said day one,
Speaker 1: he is shutting down the building. The FBI building is
Speaker 1: going to be shut down. No one will be allowed in.
Speaker 1: By the next day, he's going to clean out everybody
Speaker 1: who is part of quote the deep state.
Speaker 3: Things are going to change now. Is he going to
Speaker 3: be able to do it? Who the hell knows?
Speaker 1: Want parking at the FBI building on January twentieth. That's
Speaker 1: not gonna be a problem. You'll have all the parking
Speaker 1: spaces available to you.
Speaker 3: Is it just me?
Speaker 6: Or does Cash to Tell or whatever his name is,
Speaker 6: have the craziest eyes you've ever seen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he looked. It looks like a mugshot.
Speaker 3: He looks.
Speaker 5: He looks nutty to me, I don't know the man.
Speaker 5: He looks nutty.
Speaker 1: There are some stories about him, and well, no doubt
Speaker 1: get into that.
Speaker 3: And by the way, is he going to be confirmed?
Speaker 1: I mean, clearly, there are Republican senators that effectively have
Speaker 1: said no matter who Trump puts up, we're puts up.
Speaker 3: We're voting for him because we believe in his judgment.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: There are a few Republicans that may say no to
Speaker 1: this one, like Matt Gates was going down, like Pete
Speaker 1: Hegseth is probably going to go down, and I think
Speaker 1: he may go down because this isn't what yet. This
Speaker 1: isn't an appointment to the embassy of you know, Bermuda
Speaker 1: or the Bahamas. I mean, the head of the FBI
Speaker 1: is a serious, serious position. And when you have a
Speaker 1: guy saying I'm shutting it down, we're not going to
Speaker 1: have they are all the deep state. The FBI now
Speaker 1: basically is treasonous to the Constitution.
Speaker 3: That's a tough one.
Speaker 5: Okay, good news, Yeah, this is great.
Speaker 6: Black Friday shoppers went nuts, spending a record ten point
Speaker 6: eight billion with a b online and it seems they
Speaker 6: were buying everything. Toy sales were up over six hundred percent.
Speaker 6: You had jewelry up by over five hundred percent, appliances, apparel,
Speaker 6: electronics all up, up, up, up, up, almost actually over
Speaker 6: double since seventeen Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, think about this.
Speaker 1: If toy sales go up one hundred percent. That's double
Speaker 1: what it was last year at one hundred percent. This
Speaker 1: is six times the amount. I mean, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: People are insane. And it's well, Black Friday, it's a
Speaker 1: Black Friday from now until and Cyber Monday. Isn't that
Speaker 1: now until Christmas? Because I think Black Friday started at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the month. Isn't it the beginning of
Speaker 1: last month? Yeah?
Speaker 6: They they they started it pretty early. And what was funny,
Speaker 6: I was actually on on my phone buying on Amazon
Speaker 6: as it went from I don't know, Black Friday or
Speaker 6: whatever into Saturday, and it switched and became Cyber Monday,
Speaker 6: like in the middle.
Speaker 5: Of It's like, oh, okay, I guess we're doing that now.
Speaker 4: Desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza has been put on pause.
Speaker 4: The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugee said yesterday that it
Speaker 4: is halting aid deliveries through the main cargo crossing into
Speaker 4: the Gaza Strip because of the threat of armed gangs
Speaker 4: which have been looting the convoys, and blames the breakdown
Speaker 4: on law and order in large part on Israeli policies.
Speaker 1: Well, interestingly enough, the citizens of Israel are blaming the
Speaker 1: Nettanyahu government for not ending the war. The Gazans, Palestines
Speaker 1: and Gazas will never blame Hamas.
Speaker 3: Hamas is not at fault.
Speaker 1: Not returning the hostages is okay, and the country being
Speaker 1: decimated and wiped out is okay to them. No one
Speaker 1: would dare say that there's a problem with Hamas and
Speaker 1: maybe they should come to the table. You're not hearing
Speaker 1: that from the other side. Well, that's the difference between
Speaker 1: a democracy and you have an autocracy where you have
Speaker 1: a small group of people control the country and everybody
Speaker 1: is scared to death of them, and so you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it's not getting any better.
Speaker 3: It really isn't in both sides.
Speaker 1: I mean Israel they have to do something or maybe
Speaker 1: not under and then net Now government. There will not
Speaker 1: be there will not be a building left standing in Gayza.
Speaker 1: There is no industry anymore, there is no trade that's done.
Speaker 1: It's all black market. And it's almost one hundred percent
Speaker 1: humanitarian aid coming in.
Speaker 3: That's how these two.
Speaker 1: Three million people, two million people are eating just with
Speaker 1: humanitarian aid.
Speaker 3: Israel's not letting it in even though it says we are.
Speaker 1: You've now got the convoys being attapped by Palestinians. The
Speaker 1: whole thing is absolutely horrible. I mean, it's and how
Speaker 1: does it end? I geez, I don't know, because you've
Speaker 1: got two entrangis and sides on this, okay, speaking of which, yes,
Speaker 1: speaking of which.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So on Saturday, Hamas released a video of Israeli American
Speaker 6: hostage Eden Alexander, and they say he was you know,
Speaker 6: people see it, have seen it. I have not that
Speaker 6: he was speaking under duress.
Speaker 3: Yeah, clearly you can see it.
Speaker 5: That's the way you know, they do these sayings.
Speaker 6: Alexander referred to being held for four hundred and twenty days.
Speaker 6: He said, the Prime minister is supposed to protect his
Speaker 6: soldiers and citizens, and you abandon us.
Speaker 5: Of course, this is what they do in.
Speaker 6: These videos to put pressure on in this case Israel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it's succeeding, although I don't know how
Speaker 1: much more pressure it would be. And it's yeah, as
Speaker 1: I said, there's no easy way out of this.
Speaker 3: And you have a family. Now. I don't know if
Speaker 3: they knew that Alan, that Eden was alive or not.
Speaker 1: Because in certain cases Hamas is not letting families know
Speaker 1: whether their level are dead or not. They're keeping the
Speaker 1: bodies so they're not sending him back for burial. The
Speaker 1: whole thing is absolutely vicious.
Speaker 4: Keeping things all in the family. President elect Trump said
Speaker 4: he will be nominating Massad Bulos, who is a Lebanese
Speaker 4: American businessman and the father in law of his daughter Tiffany.
Speaker 4: He's going to be the senior advisor covering Arab and
Speaker 4: Middle Eastern affairs. Trump announced that he had also tapped
Speaker 4: Charles Kushner. That sounds familiar, Jared Kushner, He's a New
Speaker 4: Jersey real estate developer and father in law to his
Speaker 4: daughter Ivanka, to be the ambassador to France.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, Kushner, of course was convicted for tax Evasian real
Speaker 1: estate fraud, was pardoned by Trump and now is the
Speaker 1: ambassador to France. All right, more ceremonial. Bullos is more fun.
Speaker 1: Bulos is a businessman who's pro Trump, and he was
Speaker 1: an envoy to the Muslim world. Well self describe described envoy.
Speaker 1: He sort of said, I'm an envoy and I'm a Muslim,
Speaker 1: and he is now going to be senior advisor covering
Speaker 1: Arab in Middle Eastern affairs. How many times have I
Speaker 1: told you these picks are not at all about.
Speaker 3: Credentials or experience. They're all about were you loyal or
Speaker 3: were you not?
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: going to do this story, but Tulsi Gobird, we may
Speaker 1: want to do her tomorrow, Amy or Ann. She's been named,
Speaker 1: We're nominated as head of NSA NA National Security Agency,
Speaker 1: the intelligence arm overseeing of all of the intelligence services.
Speaker 1: And so a little problem she's going to have because
Speaker 1: she has out widely blamed Joe Biden for starting the
Speaker 1: Ukrainian War, not Vladimir Putin. All of the intelligence agencies
Speaker 1: are part of the deep state, and they're all liars.
Speaker 1: It's I think the Senate's gonna have a tough time
Speaker 1: with that one too. But an ultimate loyalist.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's move.
Speaker 5: On, all right.
Speaker 6: The best selling book in all of history is now
Speaker 6: even more best selling or Bible sales are booming, so
Speaker 6: says newsbacks amid anxiety.
Speaker 5: This is from well, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of interesting because the number of people
Speaker 1: who are unaffiliated religiously is increasing, like crazy, organized organize relationship,
Speaker 1: organized religion is sort of kind of disappearing. But I
Speaker 1: think religion has become a much a much bigger part
Speaker 1: of the American conversation, our narrative. Where are there more
Speaker 1: people who believe or don't believe? I just think they're
Speaker 1: becoming more public. To be religious today is much more accepted,
Speaker 1: uh than it was then. I'm telling to be well,
Speaker 1: here's the problem Bible toting.
Speaker 3: And I'm not you know that's not right.
Speaker 1: Not Bible toting people who carry the Bible around or
Speaker 1: believe in the Bible. If they take it to a concert,
Speaker 1: if they take it to a political level, you can
Speaker 1: see what's going on.
Speaker 3: That's what I said.
Speaker 6: I saw I saw a meme the other day that said,
Speaker 6: I believe in Jesus. I just believe in the original one,
Speaker 6: and not the Republican one, the Republican Jesus.
Speaker 3: That's that's that's my point point. And that's it is.
Speaker 1: And then that cat canon obviously does according to Newsmax Boy,
Speaker 1: there's a source you want to believe that is in
Speaker 1: fact translates into more Bibles being sold.
Speaker 5: Well, this is a Pew research point.
Speaker 3: Oh, then that's legit. Okay, that's legit.
Speaker 5: It just happened to be. This story came out of news.
Speaker 6: Bible stales rose to fourteen point two million in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty three, up from nine point seven million in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: So they you know, Neil, you're far more religious and
Speaker 1: you've read the Bible form in religious times.
Speaker 3: No, not really, I'm sorry. No, you're not religious.
Speaker 1: You are. I would rape I would describe you as
Speaker 1: basically a semi scholar in the Bible.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know your Bible more than I know.
Speaker 5: I am considered a lay scholar when it comes to scripture.
Speaker 1: All right, so let me ask this. Can you buy
Speaker 1: ads in the Bible?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: Actually you can, but only in the Old Testament.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: So for example, for example, when God destroys the world? Right,
Speaker 1: can the Second Amendment people buy an ad?
Speaker 3: Right there?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Okay, just asking No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually studied the Bible in junior high.
Speaker 3: I took a Bible course.
Speaker 5: How did that work?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was was.
Speaker 1: Basically for history and it was history and literature.
Speaker 3: It wasn't religious at all. Matter of fact.
Speaker 1: The archaeologists in Israel that dig up stuff actually look
Speaker 1: at Bible, look at the Bible.
Speaker 6: Bible to the timber one resource for archaeology.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's really yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's you can go ahead and visit the
Speaker 1: city of Megido that they dug up. And what Meguito Armageddon, Well,
Speaker 1: Miguito is the name in Hebrew.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just really interesting.
Speaker 5: For the Hittites.
Speaker 6: The Hittites used to be a joke in colleges because
Speaker 6: they didn't have any archaeological remnants of it until gosh,
Speaker 6: probably the last twenty years or so. And then I
Speaker 6: actually found a language and the people and everything, didn't.
Speaker 4: You guys ever see Raiders of the Lost Arc.
Speaker 3: Yes, come on, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's absolutely true, all of it right there
Speaker 1: and in that where the Holy Gray was found. Actually,
Speaker 1: if you look at that building, that's Petra in Jordan,
Speaker 1: which you can visit.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's real. Okay.
Speaker 4: Attacking back. Syrian and Russian jets are stepping up their
Speaker 4: strikes on opposition forces in northern Syria. There was a
Speaker 4: sudden offensive that cost the regime control of the country's
Speaker 4: second largest city, Aleppo. Rebels took it over over the weekend.
Speaker 4: It comes at a time when Syria's key backers, Iran
Speaker 4: and Russia are focusing more on their own conflicts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these.
Speaker 1: You're talking about this offensive, it's the rebels are going
Speaker 1: to take over Damascus.
Speaker 3: I think they're going to win, and Asad is going
Speaker 3: to be hanged. And who's worse what the rebels are
Speaker 3: doing or what the Assaud regime is doing. They're ones
Speaker 3: as bad as the other. It would be kind of
Speaker 3: nice to see a sod hanging. He deserves it.
Speaker 5: Movies, yeah, man, it's their back.
Speaker 6: Moana two brought in this massive wave of moviegoers over
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving Day weekend, setting all kinds of records with a
Speaker 6: two hundred and twenty one million dollars in chicken sales.
Speaker 3: Not massive, it's unbelievable how big that is.
Speaker 6: But you also had you know, Wicked, you had Glady
Speaker 6: Eater two, Electric Boogaloo, just and all of these movies
Speaker 6: came out and people went nuts for them, and it
Speaker 6: was a massive, massive holiday weekend.
Speaker 5: This is usually the stuff you'd see in December.
Speaker 3: This it's very it's good for the movie going up public.
Speaker 1: They're going to theaters, and of course the exhibitors are
Speaker 1: thrilled beyond belief, as are the producers. Now we how
Speaker 1: many months have we had opening weekends of like eight dollars.
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden it's been pretty bad it.
Speaker 3: It's been horrible.
Speaker 1: And this thing is that then it hits this with
Speaker 1: a trifecta, and I hear that Wicked is fun nominal
Speaker 1: by the way, everyone.
Speaker 4: You saw it for a second time this weekend.
Speaker 3: It's that good. I heard it.
Speaker 4: I thought it was really good. It's long, but it's
Speaker 4: really good.
Speaker 1: I like long movies because you feel like you're getting
Speaker 1: your money's worth.
Speaker 4: There you go. And when we went to a matinee
Speaker 4: on Saturday, it was sold out.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: So Wicked made like one hundred and seventeen million dollars
Speaker 4: over the weekend. That's as much as it made in
Speaker 4: its first weekend, which also speaks well to the movie itself.
Speaker 4: No kidding, false equivalency, Canada's ambassador to the US says
Speaker 4: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was successful in getting President elect
Speaker 4: Trump and key cabinet nominees to understand that lumping Canada
Speaker 4: in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants
Speaker 4: into the US is unfair. Of course, Trudeau had dinner
Speaker 4: with Trump on Friday. It was considered an important step
Speaker 4: in trying to get Trump to back away from those
Speaker 4: threatened tariffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Trudeau flies to mar A Lago and he
Speaker 1: gets the bended d and kisses the ring, and he's
Speaker 1: right about the vast difference between Canadon and Mexico.
Speaker 3: A lot of the a lot of.
Speaker 1: The statements that Trump is making about tariffs are are bluster.
Speaker 3: There's no question about it.
Speaker 1: That's negotiation on his part, and that's what he believes in,
Speaker 1: and it's I think a lot of that's going to
Speaker 1: work out.
Speaker 3: You're not going to see these tariffs hit like this
Speaker 3: at all. It's purely a negotiating point.
Speaker 1: Now, that part is bluster, and I think that's not
Speaker 1: necessarily bad in many cases good. The problem I have
Speaker 1: are Trump's picks and the selections for cabinet posts and
Speaker 1: major positions in the government.
Speaker 3: That's my problem. That's not bluster, as we know. But
Speaker 3: as far as what Trudeau says.
Speaker 1: I mean he comes and goes, oh please please, and
Speaker 1: is that yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, both in French and in English. What is this
Speaker 3: a boot? Yeah?
Speaker 6: This is a weird ass story. Fresno County woman teacher
Speaker 6: and Arn't teacher. As a matter of fact, in school
Speaker 6: in the middle school teaching, a bat flies in her
Speaker 6: classroom about a month ago or so.
Speaker 5: Bites her.
Speaker 6: She didn't have any symptoms until a month later, almost
Speaker 6: a month later, and she went in.
Speaker 5: It was rabies and she died.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fatal.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't treat rabies, which is very easy
Speaker 1: to treat.
Speaker 3: You can't.
Speaker 1: As soon as you get bit by a squirrel a bat,
Speaker 1: you immediately go into raby shots, even prophylactically.
Speaker 5: Yeah right, but probably this according.
Speaker 1: To this story, you sometimes can't even feel the bat bite.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't even feel it. But if there's a
Speaker 1: bat flying around man, you know, or a squirrel running
Speaker 1: around and gets on you, you know, you get those
Speaker 1: raby shots.
Speaker 3: I think there's four of them in your stomach.
Speaker 1: I don't know how painful they are, but I'll tell
Speaker 1: you dying of rabies is a lot more painful.
Speaker 4: So Costco has closed a chapter on one sector of
Speaker 4: its sales.
Speaker 5: Ooh, very well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's removing its book selection from hundreds of stores.
Speaker 4: It could make a comeback, according to some reports, but
Speaker 4: all those tables covered in books all year long, Nope,
Speaker 4: going away.
Speaker 1: If you look at those pilot books that they have there,
Speaker 1: it's sort of no rhyme or reason for it.
Speaker 3: A lot of kids books.
Speaker 1: I can see that, but the best sellers, which ones
Speaker 1: is just weird.
Speaker 5: I always like just going through there.
Speaker 6: Sometimes they have those coffee table books about like how
Speaker 6: things work or.
Speaker 3: Yeah they do, they do, but and they're cheap. They're cheap.
Speaker 1: I'll buy that, or more importantly, I won't buy that
Speaker 1: because I've never.
Speaker 3: Bought one of those.
Speaker 1: You haven't, not one coffee table books off of Costo Costco.
Speaker 4: I have not because we've bought everything from Costco.
Speaker 1: I know, but that's one thing I don't buy, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't buy new supplements and new tres. I don't
Speaker 1: buy that crap.
Speaker 3: And that's it. I buy everything else and not books.
Speaker 3: All right, we're done, guys.
Speaker 1: A lot of clothes, by the way, That's where I
Speaker 1: shot for clothes, all right. Kf I am six forty
