It's your birthday. Okay, boy, there's an accomplishment 25 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:26.840 being born. That's something to celebrate. What are your choices? 26 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:28.799 Whin you a Nobel prize or being born? 27 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.120 Okay? The other one is personal day off? What is 28 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.000 that about? 29 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:37.920 Sometimes you just need a break. 30 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.920 Yeah, that's what Saturday and Sundays are for. That's correct. 31 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.359 And in my case, that's what Sundays are for. You 32 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.560 know that I have in my entire working life, I 33 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:53.400 have never worked a five day week. 34 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.359 I did that six day thing for several years. I 35 00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:58.799 don't know how you've done it for as long as 36 00:01:58.840 --> 00:01:59.079 you do. 37 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.640 You know you do. I don't want to tell you. 38 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.560 What you do is you hate being at home, you 39 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:04.400 hate your family, and you might as well be here. 40 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.760 There you go, there you go. Okay, yesterday I had 41 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:10.680 dinner with my daughter and we were having a conversation 42 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.240 and she came up with something really interesting, and that is, 43 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.719 do you know why popes cannot be organ donors? 44 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:19.680 No? 45 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.120 Yeah, I never thought of that either. Isn't that interesting? 46 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:26.719 And there are two reasons that popes, for example, Francis 47 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.439 is not going to be an organ donor, and this 48 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:30.520 was kind of interesting. 49 00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:31.319 One of them. 50 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.680 Yeah, but that's not that's not the reason. That's not 51 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.319 the reason he's eighty eight and dead. 52 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.000 No. Two reasons. One, his body does not belong to him. 53 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:48.039 It belongs to the church, so he cannot he does 54 00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.960 not have the authority to give up parts of his body. 55 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:52.280 Isn't that sort of slavery? 56 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.719 Yeah, it sort of is, although you're kind of dead afterwards. 57 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.520 So can you be a slave when you're dead? You 58 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.759 can be a box and ashes, you know, you could 59 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.759 be you know, breakfasted Bernie kind of dead. 60 00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:06.280 I don't know. 61 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.719 And the other reason is usually when someone is slated 62 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.960 for sainthood, which of course Francis is going to be. 63 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.120 That's a given the parts of his body they keep 64 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:21.599 as relics. 65 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.879 You ever gone to any one of these Catholic churches, 66 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.280 one of the older ones, there's always a skull or 67 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:34.759 there's a femur or a fingerbone or something in this 68 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.439 gilded box. It has glass all around it, and you 69 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.840 look in there and there's a piece of bone, and. 70 00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:41.960 They go, what the hell is that? 71 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:42.960 Is that real? 72 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.560 Yeah? Yeah, Well, I don't know whether the bone is 73 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.439 of the saint, because you know, for example, if you 74 00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.240 go to churches all over the world. You will see 75 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.759 churches that have small pieces of the cross that Jesus 76 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.680 was crucifight on. You put all of those small pieces 77 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:05.800 of the cross together around the world, and you've got 78 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.319 your medium sized lumber yard. 79 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.240 So who knows. 80 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.560 You go to top Copy Cap Museum in istan Bull, 81 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.879 they have the skull of John the Baptist. 82 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:25.399 Now is that really his skull? I don't know, you think, 83 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:28.920 And then you have. 84 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.480 Hearts and pieces of body, and it's just really weird. 85 00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.519 Not that the Catholic religion is and full of fruitcakes. 86 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.120 It's just that the Catholic religion is full of fruitcakes. 87 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:47.600 And it's which is crazier. The Mormon religion. Mormon religion 88 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:52.160 is you got zena and you have the golden tablets, 89 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:55.120 and you've got this kid, twelve year old kid, Joseph Smith, 90 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.759 digging up the tablets of gold in upstate New York, Paulmyra, 91 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.720 not even Connecticut, which is a good neighborhood, but Paul 92 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.399 Meyra Okay, so much for Mormons. You got Catholics where 93 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.040 you have the body and the blood of Christ. Now 94 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.000 it's not metaphor in the Catholic religion. It is not metaphor. 95 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.560 It is actually the body and the blood of Christ 96 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:26.240 that you take during communion, which I find completely hypocritical 97 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.879 because at least in New Guinea, those headhunters actually eat people. 98 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:36.560 Catholics don't any other religions. I can rip into Judaism. 99 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:40.000 There's a nut religion. I'm talking about the far reaches 100 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.839 part of it. Okay, emails go to management here at 101 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:49.120 KFI as I make fun of the only ones that 102 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.360 can't make fun is Buddhism. 103 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:56.759 Why because they just sit there. I mean they just 104 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:57.279 sit there. 105 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.959 You know, last year one National Religious Award from the 106 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:07.040 American Association of Anesthesiologists. Nothing happens, You just sit there. Okay, 107 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:07.920 we're done, guys. 108 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.600 I thought we were just getting started. 109 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.800 Yeah, my god, you tribe on religion. Ah. 110 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.399 And I haven't even gotten into ethnic people yet, have I. No, 111 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:21.160 we start that in just a few moments. All right, guys, 112 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.399 let's do it. I want to roll this morning. I 113 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.560 was feeling terrible this morning until I started. 114 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:26.439 Oh. 115 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.800 I started with the Pope. That was it, and why 116 00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.120 he can't be an ordinan donor? 117 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.160 That was it? All right, guys, ready to do it? 118 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:33.759 Yep? 119 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:37.279 Okay, it's time for handling the news, Amy no deal 120 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:38.279 and me lead. 121 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.319 Sorry. 122 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:50.240 Well, Trump is now urging Putin to stop after saying 123 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.199 there has to be a deal cut between Russia and Ukraine, 124 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.160 the deal being that Putin gets everything he wants and 125 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:04.240 Ukraine gets nothing. At that point, after that announcement was made, 126 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.480 particularly by JD Vance saying if you don't cut the deal, 127 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:10.680 we're walking away, Putin launches the most vicious attack against 128 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.480 Kiev that he has in a year, and at that 129 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.480 point Trump says, stop it. Let's get this peace deal done. 130 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.439 Five thousand soldiers a week are dying. I don't know 131 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:22.519 if that's true or not, but. 132 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.800 It reminds me of when before the invasion started, Biden 133 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.879 did his stern warning also don't yeah nothing, the one 134 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:40.879 word thing, stop, don't okay, nothing happens. It's got to 135 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.319 be frustrating, though, because Trump is known or like touts 136 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.800 himself as a deal maker. Yeah, and he's just not getting. 137 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:49.920 How are those going? 138 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:56.879 The Israeli Jamas war, this war, inflation prices cut in half, 139 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.519 the best economy you've ever seen. Now a couple of 140 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.399 he did do day one, there was the partning of all. 141 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:08.800 January sixth defendants that happened day one, and executive orders 142 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.399 in some other pardons, and then also gutting the various agencies, 143 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.000 which we're going to talk about a little bit more 144 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:17.040 later on. 145 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.959 And where is that? No, No, are we going to 146 00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:22.160 I think so? 147 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.279 Yes, eight o'clock the National Security Council. Okay, let's take 148 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.160 a break and we're going to come back and we'll 149 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.360 really dive into some stories. I'll try to figure out 150 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.720 some other religions and ethnicities to offend. 151 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.559 During the break, you're listening to Bill Handle on demand 152 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.440 from KFI AM six forty and. 153 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.919 And I, I mean we're sitting across from each other 154 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.000 and and I. During the course of the break, we 155 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:49.440 started discussing religion and whether or not there is God 156 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.360 in the definition of God, and it got kind of 157 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:57.000 interesting because I think God exists. If you're the winning 158 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.399 football team and you are praying and God a sides 159 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:04.080 you're going to win, Yep, there's God. Or you're in 160 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:08.720 a bus full of kindergarteners and it gets into a 161 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.159 crash and you survive and they all die. That was 162 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.639 God saving your life. Too bad for those thirty four kids. 163 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.159 That's when the devil steps in. Ah, yeah, well why 164 00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.320 did God? Okay, but why did devil step in kill 165 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:25.039 all of them? 166 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.159 He's evil, but save you and he wants to hurt 167 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.000 Okay people, Okay, there we go. 168 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.159 Oh, we're gonna have fun discussions there.

Usually I have these discussions with Neil, 170 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.399 you know, but I know, of all days, I know 171 00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.320 you're going in on this.

China has denied any suggestion that 175 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:56.279 it is in active negotiations with the Trump administration over tariffs. 176 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.000 China's comments came after Trump said on Tuesday the things 177 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.480 we're going fine and that the final tariff rate on 178 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.960 Chinese exports would come down substantially from the current one 179 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.000 hundred five percent. 180 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.360 And he said he's talking to China. China said, no, 181 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.360 we're not talking. I don't know who do you believe? 182 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:14.440 I don't know. 183 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.840 Exactly. I don't know who you believe. There's an article 184 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.480 in Time magazine. I was listening to a piece on 185 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:27.759 it coming in, and it was it's an interview, a 186 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.720 very lengthy interview with Trump by Time magazine, and he 187 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.360 says in the article that to that one hundred countries 188 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.240 are actively negotiating with the United States. One hundred countries. 189 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.519 And the reporter said, well, how many You haven't announced 190 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.120 any of them. Well, we'll announce them, you know, when, 191 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.759 when the time is appropriate. And then he switched and said, 192 00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.240 it's actually two hundred countries. Now, two hundred countries is 193 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:57.000 virtually every country on the planet. You know that, it's 194 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.519 two thirds of the countries on Earth. So we'll see 195 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.759 what happens. The only thing is that he blinked, that's 196 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.600 for sure. She did not blink. She said, we're prepared. 197 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:11.679 The Chinese play the long game, and they are prepared. 198 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.720 He is a strong man who is prepared to have 199 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:15.799 suffering go on. 200 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.720 The Chinese have a history of this stuff of suffering. 201 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.080 The United States not so much. Are we got tired 202 00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:26.679 of Vietnam. We're out of there. We got tired of Afghanistan, 203 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.919 We're out of there. Chinese aren't out of there until 204 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.600 they win. So I think Chinese is going to win. 205 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.080 This one. 206 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.480 Might take, okay, move on flying. 207 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.879 In to fight the fires. California's officially added a second 208 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:45.679 air tanker to its fire fighting fleet, just ahead of 209 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.120 what is expected to be a drier than average summer, 210 00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:52.639 even though we're doing good for snowpack this year. For 211 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.919 the third year in a row, the latest Sea one 212 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.639 thirty hercules air tanker will join the Califire aerial fleet. 213 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.399 It's the same and former US Coast Guard cargo plane 214 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.320 that's being retrofitted for firefighting. The aircraft can drop four 215 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:10.080 thousand gallons of water or fire retardant in under five seconds, 216 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:13.279 can fly up to eight hundred miles per deployment, and 217 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.000 its speed, range and payload capacity make it the most 218 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.080 capable aircraft in Calfire's fleet, says Cawfire. 219 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:21.360 We need a lot of them. 220 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.039 There's actually seven out. We're just not all retrofitted a ready, mean. 221 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.399 We not a lot with these wildfires, you know, and 222 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:30.320 even then we don't know what's going to happen. 223 00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:30.600 You know. 224 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.559 The best job to have, by the way, is the 225 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:38.440 guy who measures the snowpack in the sierras. Do you 226 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.240 know how do what the technology is that he uses. 227 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.559 He puts a stick in the ground. I'm not exaggerating. 228 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:50.080 He puts a long yardstick that has inches on the wood, 229 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.720 and he puts it until it hits the ground and 230 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.279 he measures how high the snow is and that is 231 00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:57.639 the level of your snowpack. 232 00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.799 And he only has to work like three days a year. 233 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.879 They do like snowpacks every couple months. 234 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.639 That I don't know, but I think he moves from 235 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:06.720 place to place to measure the snowpack. It's not on 236 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.279 the same and I think maybe they average it, but 237 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.679 the technology is still a stick. 238 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.799 That's okay, Yeah, it's great. What are eight trees worth 239 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.000 three hundred and fifty thousand dollars? So there's that guy 240 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:27.240 who has been arrested for cutting down eight trees in 241 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.200 different neighborhoods around downtown La over a period of about 242 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.320 a week from April fourteenth to nineteenth. Samuel Groft has 243 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.519 been arrested, and the La County DA's office says that 244 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.120 those eight trees that he cut down with a chainsaw, 245 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.960 or allegedly cut down with a chainsaw, is going to 246 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:48.200 cost the city three hundred and forty seven thousand dollars. 247 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:51.120 Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. Let's let's look at 248 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:51.919 the figures here. 249 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:55.279 Okay, that's fifty thousand dollars a tree right now? Forty 250 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:56.639 thousand a tree is. 251 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.919 It that it depends on the tree. That's not off base. 252 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.240 It really isn't to bring in a full grown tree, 253 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:06.559 is yeah, that can be forty grand. I mean I 254 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.879 brought my I had an olive tree that died and 255 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.879 I replaced it, and it was, you know, twenty feet high, 256 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.279 twenty twenty five feet high. So I replaced the tree. 257 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.440 I could not believe how much that tree cost. Could 258 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.279 not believe it. Trees are expensive. I mean, a little 259 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:27.679 saplings aren't. But if you're bringing in a full grown tree. 260 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.679 And they want full grown trees, you know, yes. 261 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.200 Well, yeah, it's yeah, I can see that. 262 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:36.000 I want to hear more about this olive tree. Do 263 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:37.120 you pick olives off of it? 264 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.120 No? Well, no, you spray it, so it doesn't. 265 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.159 All of them well, because they're beautiful, because all of 266 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.600 trees are gorgeous, because they're trunks. 267 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.840 I mean, there's just something magical about olive trees. 268 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:50.360 They are I saw them in the garden of. 269 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.480 Yeah that is and you know what's interesting with what 270 00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:56.200 really is moving about the garden of this enemy. I mean, 271 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:57.960 even though I'm not religious in the least, I do 272 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.159 believe that Jesus existed. Uh, whether that was the garden 273 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:04.399 of Gacinami or not. I mean, we don't know, you know, 274 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.080 was he born at that spot up a calvalry? That 275 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:12.679 was he actually crucified there? Probably not. But you go 276 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:17.120 to the garden Ofame Gacinthemis Casami. I'm always horrible with words, 277 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.879 and you literally look at these trees and you go, 278 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:22.519 Jesus could have walked among these trees. 279 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:24.360 Yeah, because they're like two thousand years. 280 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.759 Right, these are the very trees that were around. 281 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.080 I mean that is you know, you know, whether you're 282 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.519 religious or not, just the my thing is history and wow, 283 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.200 you know, just this just floors you that the trees 284 00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:38.960 are that old. And when you go back to biblical times, 285 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:40.159 they're talking about this tree. 286 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:42.960 Now did he walk? I don't know. 287 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.759 I can't believe you sprayed for all? 288 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.000 No, No, you spray, you spray. Why don't you want 289 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.799 because the olives make a mess, that's why they're horrible, 290 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.279 and then you have to brine them, and you don't know, 291 00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:56.279 you don't want all of you? 292 00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.200 Why didn't you just buy a fruitless one? 293 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:01.519 I don't know if you can, but you I have one, Oh, okay, 294 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:03.720 I don't know our the ones I bought, were fruited 295 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.919 and they you know, the olives, you spray them. It's 296 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.679 like sort of you know, spaying a dog. You know, 297 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.360 you just make sure that they don't. Yeah, we have 298 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:18.159 effortless one planting. Okay, and that's it all right. 299 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:18.879 One more. 300 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:24.360 A new way to get to LAX. A direct connection 301 00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.320 between Los Angeles International Airport and Metro is going to 302 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.600 be a step closer to reality when a transit station opens. 303 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.519 That's going to happen in June. The La Metro Transit 304 00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.399 Center is scheduled to open June sixth at Aviation Boulevard 305 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.120 and ninety sixth Street, and it's going to connect to 306 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.559 the K and C lines and that will eventually not 307 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.440 yet connect to the LAX people Mover train. 308 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.120 And it opens June sixth, which is by June eighth, 309 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.480 it's already obsolete because welcome to Los Angeles. 310 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.799 Yeah, and then the people Mover isn't scheduled open until 311 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:00.799 two twenty six. 312 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:01.279 Yeah. 313 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.680 Well for the Olympics, they built the horseshoe thing at 314 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.759 LAX for the Olympics. Boy, that worked out, didn't it. 315 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.279 The way the horseshoe works at LAX where you go 316 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.920 on that loop that you turn. All right, we're done 317 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.319 for this two segments, or these two segments. 318 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.759 Let's go ahead and take a break. We'll come right back. 319 00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.160 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I 320 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:28.119 AM six forty Woody Friday. 321 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.720 Except there's no food today. Neil is sick. He got 322 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.000 food poisoning last night. Actually that's not true, but it 323 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.680 sounds good, doesn't it, Woody Friday. Neil, Okay, never mind, 324 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.079 Maybe he has foody poisoning that's very strong. 325 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:46.920 And Neil is an amazing cook. You know that. 326 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.960 It's say, you know, he does that food show, and 327 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.200 it's not by accident. Is doing so well. The guy 328 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.160 knows what he's doing, except for last night. All right, 329 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.400 Amy more Handle on the news. 330 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.559 George says he expects to get a full sentence. George Santos, 331 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:09.759 the former congressman whose proclivity for lying fueled in unforeseen 332 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:13.000 rise and spectacular fall, is going to be confronted on 333 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.000 today with what that fallout is going to be. He's 334 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.599 going to be sentenced for fraud and other stuff, and 335 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.920 he's the least he would get would be two years. 336 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.359 He pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud and aggravated 337 00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:31.039 identity theft. Federal prosecutors want the sentence to be eighty 338 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:34.359 seven months, which they say is necessary to protect the 339 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.279 public from being defrauded by Santos. Again, Santos says he 340 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:39.920 does expect to get the full seven years. 341 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.279 Yeah. 342 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.039 And the only thing there that is ever of concern 343 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.119 and which reduces the sentences is our mitigating factors. One 344 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.000 of the big ones being showing remorse to the court, 345 00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:53.480 and he, of course is showing remorse. Doesn't everybody show 346 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.319 remorse to the court. I don't understand how judges can 347 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:58.680 believe remorse because everybody shows remorse. 348 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:00.359 Buddy. 349 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:05.319 Now, while he was showing a remorse, he was also 350 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:09.240 attacking the Department of Justice and saying that this was 351 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.640 prosecutorial overreach and it was a political witch hunt. And 352 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.039 showing remorse at the same time. That's a little tough, 353 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:18.920 no kidding. He's going to get the biggest, the longest 354 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:20.880 sentence or a piece of work he is. 355 00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.559 Sounds like something kind of right out of the movies. 356 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:27.839 But a senior Russian general has been killed in a 357 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:33.480 car bombing. It happened today. The deputy head of the 358 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.240 Main Operations Directorate of the General staff of the Russian 359 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.839 Armed Forces was killed in the explosion of a Volkswagen golf. 360 00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:46.440 Investigators say the explosion was caused by an improvised explosive 361 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:50.160 design device packed with shrapnel and loaded into his car. 362 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:55.079 Now, if he had survived, would Volkswagen use that incident 363 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:59.119 as a commercial? I'll bet you so. But they can't 364 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.039 because he was killed and no one's blamed been blamed yet. 365 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.400 Russia has not, Moscow has not yet blamed Ukraine. 366 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:16.359 There will be you watch, Uh, how. 367 00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:21.440 About Nunya like Nonya? Business staff members at Columbia University 368 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.599 and Bernard College in New York City say they were 369 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:26.440 taken aback earlier this week after they got text messages 370 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.079 on their personal phones linked to a survey which asked, 371 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.240 in part if they were Jewish or Israeli. The survey 372 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.960 came from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and outlined that 373 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.119 it was part of a federal investigation into workplace practices 374 00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:41.599 at the schools. 375 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.200 Now, it's offensive, but I don't know if FILS was 376 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.920 meant to be discriminatory. To find out if you know 377 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:50.359 we're going to discriminate against. 378 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:51.799 Jews, he's meant to be the opposite. 379 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:53.799 I think it's meant to be the opposite. I think 380 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:57.039 that are you Jewish? And then it would be a 381 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:00.640 follow up, Then you investigate whether that person was the 382 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:04.039 target of any anti Semitic remarks or activities. 383 00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.319 I do think it's the opposite. 384 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:11.839 However, it's ham handed, how unusual for schools now, and boy, 385 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:16.759 what a way to do it right? And people were 386 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:20.039 offended by that. I get offended. People ask me if 387 00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:23.279 I'm Jewish. I say, it's none of your business. 388 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:28.559 Moving on, autism is no excuse. A judge has ruled 389 00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.799 that prosecutors can go after the death penalty against Brian 390 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.680 Coburger if he's convicted of murdering for University of Idaho students. 391 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.319 Remember that happened over Christmas in twenty twenty two. His 392 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.759 attorneys had asked the judge to take the death penalty 393 00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:49.440 off the table because Coburger was recently diagnosed as being 394 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:54.400 on the spectrum for autism. They said that mister Coburger's 395 00:21:55.039 --> 00:22:02.240 autism spectrum disorder reduces his culpability, negates the retributive, retributive 396 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:05.799 and deterrent purposes of capital punishment, and exposes him to 397 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.720 the unacceptable risk that he will be wrongfully convicted and 398 00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:11.680 sentenced to death. The judge said, I don't buy it. 399 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.400 Yeah, And although when there was emotion and he was 400 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.240 in front of the court, the judge kept on yelling 401 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:17.720
