Speaker 2: good morning. Hey.
Speaker 1: I've got to I guess.
Speaker 2: Half apologize to you, sort of do a Trump apology,
Speaker 2: and that is uh, yesterday I was really off. I
Speaker 2: was sort of out of my mind. Yesterday it was
Speaker 2: a bad day. And here's the problem. When you do
Speaker 2: a show like this, if you are off one percent,
Speaker 2: it shows you can tell almost instantly.
Speaker 1: That's just what happens.
Speaker 2: This is one of those where you can't be sick
Speaker 2: without it showing.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can be sick and come in. I've
Speaker 1: done that more than enough times.
Speaker 2: But it's it's just so so every yesterday I was
Speaker 2: going through all kinds of crap, maybe anticipating my trip
Speaker 2: today because tonight I'm on an airplane.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving on a jet plane.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you'll be back again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much. I don't know if I'll ever be
Speaker 2: back again. Well, it's.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: If it's a bowling airplane. It may very well be.
Speaker 1: It could be. Hopefully it's an airbus A three eighty.
Speaker 1: Those are great. I get his chair.
Speaker 2: Those big monstrous ones, those are kind of neat. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you've ever flown one of those puppies before.
Speaker 2: You know, that double deck thing, that's the biggest commercial
Speaker 2: passenger jet in the world. And man, you walk in
Speaker 2: there and it is a lobby inside that airplane it
Speaker 2: is big.
Speaker 1: You wonder how the hell it gets off the ground.
Speaker 2: You jos usually like when you're in seven thirty seven,
Speaker 2: and assuming it doesn't crash, you.
Speaker 1: Go down the runway. And they're really powerful.
Speaker 2: The first seven thirty sevens were almost underpowered. So you're
Speaker 2: taking off in a seven thirty seven, it's like a
Speaker 2: jack rabbit.
Speaker 1: It just springs into the air. The big A three eighty.
Speaker 2: Lumbers lumbers, lumbers, lumbers. It's up in the air and
Speaker 2: then it slowly goes up.
Speaker 1: It's a very different flight experience.
Speaker 2: Also, it is very quiet, and it is you walk around,
Speaker 2: you can do laps inside of it and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 5: And I have a lazy river in there.
Speaker 2: Almost yeah, almost, yeah, it's good lazy river. And that's
Speaker 2: and it's an airbus, which is pretty neat stuff. Airbus
Speaker 2: which way behind the times when it first came out.
Speaker 1: It's made by its European countries.
Speaker 2: I think it's England and France are the primary primary
Speaker 2: manufacturers of airbus. And and you know where it's here's
Speaker 2: a little factoid. Where is airbus assembled in the air.
Speaker 2: You know, they're not assembled in the air. Where are
Speaker 2: they physically assembled? What city are they assembled? They are
Speaker 2: assembled in You can look this up to Lose France
Speaker 2: with very short people on.
Speaker 1: The assembly line.
Speaker 2: Why because to Loose the trek was very short, I see.
Speaker 1: And he was a stumpy little guy.
Speaker 2: Oh god, but is it already we've reached that point.
Speaker 1: At that time?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it just flies, time flies when you don't know
Speaker 5: what the hell's going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that and telling me that we should go
Speaker 1: forward with a handle on the news?
Speaker 4: Maybe little nudge?
Speaker 2: Okay, And you know how she does that, you know,
Speaker 2: she holds up the packet right there? Hey, Bill, what
Speaker 2: is this? I thought i'd share that with you anyway.
Speaker 2: So next week it is Wayne that sits in for me,
Speaker 2: and then the following week Neil for the entire week.
Speaker 5: Right, yes, sir, I think that's how I think that's
Speaker 5: how we're splitting it. Yeah, yeah, okay except for for Monday.
Speaker 5: I'll be with Wayne the rest of the week as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, you'll be with Wayne the rest of the week.
Speaker 2: And who's going to be in with you or in
Speaker 2: your spot when you are doing the midies?
Speaker 1: Nobody is just you and Amy doing the news.
Speaker 5: I think we're just gonna pop up Cono's Mike here
Speaker 5: nibbling like a rat on his pop tart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did I say good morning? Cono? I say morning
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 5: Yes, you did, Thank you?
Speaker 1: Completely forgotten.
Speaker 2: That goes to show you how important you are in
Speaker 2: my life, where I can say good morning to you
Speaker 2: and thirty seconds later I have forgotten that I've.
Speaker 5: Said good morning to.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, Bill's Gerbil is just running faster than ever.
Speaker 1: Gerbal is running fast today.
Speaker 2: Very I'm looking at another Hitler documentary and Michelle is
Speaker 2: the one that turned me on to it.
Speaker 5: Cube.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michelle called me and did it Okay? And then
Speaker 2: and real quickly, I'm gonna get get the news in
Speaker 2: a moment. I've been telling you to watch, been telling
Speaker 2: you to watch Righteous Gemstos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you? Are you in right now?
Speaker 4: We are watching it. We finished episode three last night.
Speaker 2: Is it outrageous? It's funny, It's very funny. Okay, guys,
Speaker 2: let's do it. You know it's Friday, and we're gonna
Speaker 2: do Friday.
Speaker 1: And have a good time.
Speaker 2: If that's okay, It's time for Handle on the News
Speaker 2: with Amy King, Neil Savadra and me lead Star.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: The doc workers union has now been suspended until at
Speaker 2: least January fifteenth.
Speaker 1: There is a sort of kind of maybe tentative agreement.
Speaker 2: I think they've agreed to the wages originally, and I
Speaker 2: think this is tentative. The wages that the union demanded
Speaker 2: with seventy seven percent increase over six years, that's basically
Speaker 2: five bucks an hour, and they the offer was fifty percent.
Speaker 2: Looks like it's sixty two percent. So it looks like
Speaker 2: they have compromise on that one. The story does not
Speaker 2: say about that.
Speaker 1: Automation.
Speaker 4: They have not addressed that issue.
Speaker 2: See, I think that once again. See yesterday I said
Speaker 2: that's going to be the big one. Wages you can
Speaker 2: always deal with. Automation is a whole different animal. You
Speaker 2: will not use new technology because new technology takes away
Speaker 2: our jobs.
Speaker 1: That is, that's a stound to do in this day
Speaker 1: and age.
Speaker 2: I told you yesterday about the caboose drivers or the
Speaker 2: caboose employees at the railroads for years and years and years,
Speaker 2: caboose men with no cabooses and kept on going for
Speaker 2: years because.
Speaker 1: That was the union.
Speaker 2: By the way, that union, the benefits are beyond anything
Speaker 2: you can imagine.
Speaker 1: With the railroad workers. Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 3: Taking another look La County, DA Georgia. Gascon says, the
Speaker 3: sentencing for Lyle and Eric Menendez is being reviewed. As
Speaker 3: you'll remember, the Menendez brothers were convicted in nineteen ninety
Speaker 3: six of murdering their parents in a mansion in Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3: They've been appealing it and denying it ever since, but
Speaker 3: so far there's still sends to life in prison, Gascone says,
Speaker 3: though there are questions surrounding new evidence in support of
Speaker 3: the sexual abuse claims the brothers have made against their father,
Speaker 3: Jose Menendez.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll do that more at seven o'clock because a
Speaker 2: lot of this is both legal and sociological and different time,
Speaker 2: different place, how we view virtually everything differently, So I'll
Speaker 2: be doing that at seven o'clock. It's a very interesting position,
Speaker 2: and Gascoin is saying that he is he has to
Speaker 2: ask the court to resent in the wet We'll go on.
Speaker 2: Let's do another story before we take a break.
Speaker 5: Three former Memphis police officers were convicted on Thursday in
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty three fatal beating of Tyree Nichols, and
Speaker 5: they were acquitted, however, of the harshest charges they faced
Speaker 5: for a death that sparked, as we remember, national protests
Speaker 5: calls for broad changes in policing. So the jurors deliberated
Speaker 5: about six hours and although they you know, did get charged,
Speaker 5: they didn't get the most severe one like civil rights charges.
Speaker 1: One got one got nailed on the civil.
Speaker 5: Rights but it was body bodily injury.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So in any case, I don't think the state
Speaker 2: trial has come up yet. And watching that video is
Speaker 2: so horrific. This poor kid dragged out of the car
Speaker 2: and three cops beating him, pummeling him to death, beating
Speaker 2: him to death, and you can hear him cry out
Speaker 2: for his life and they continue beating him. And then
Speaker 2: afterwards and they had this on body cam, they're joking
Speaker 2: about it and they're saying, hey, he resisted arrest, didn't
Speaker 2: he We're gonna be okay, making fun of the fact
Speaker 2: that didn't call the paramedics.
Speaker 1: He was already dying.
Speaker 2: He was an extremists and dying and they didn't call
Speaker 2: the paramedics.
Speaker 5: Just was they a special group or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were called the Scorpions or something, and the
Speaker 2: police disbanded that. But I mean, and you're not you
Speaker 2: can't talk a racial overtones on this one. You're not
Speaker 2: going to see the Black Lives Matter people because Tyree
Speaker 2: Nichols was black and the three cops are black and so,
Speaker 2: but you are going to see this is a broad
Speaker 2: brush that's going to Now it's not broad brush, but
Speaker 2: this adds more ammunition to the argument that the police
Speaker 2: are danger in and of themselves, that they are the problem.
Speaker 1: And there are people who say that.
Speaker 4: They're always watching.
Speaker 3: License plate reader cameras are being installed across the San
Speaker 3: Fernando Valley. They're going to put a hundred of these
Speaker 3: license plate readers in around the twelfth Council district to
Speaker 3: help police identify and locate.
Speaker 4: Vehicles linked to crimes.
Speaker 3: So they're going to be mainly installed on light polls
Speaker 3: and apparently the license plate readers will then be used
Speaker 3: to detect a plate that has been linked to crimes
Speaker 3: and that will let police know so they can track
Speaker 3: down the bad guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have not yet heard from the civil libertarians
Speaker 2: they say it's an invasion of privacy.
Speaker 1: Yet have we at this point? We will. This makes sense.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with.
Speaker 2: Cameras on every street corner, Absolutely fine with it.
Speaker 5: President. President's off the cuff. From Mark outside the White
Speaker 5: House over possible retaliation triggers global oil price prices to
Speaker 5: rise great. Joe Biden has said that his administration has
Speaker 5: been discussing possible Israeli plans to attack Iran's oil industry
Speaker 5: in retaliation for the Iranian ballistic missile attack just this
Speaker 5: past Tuesday. So now oil prices go up.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's going to go up because Israel can take
Speaker 2: out the entire infrastructure. They've got oil terminals and those
Speaker 2: are right there and you can see them all the satellite.
Speaker 5: Okay photo, when they're gone, put the prices up.
Speaker 1: Well, they're gonna go up. Not well, I mean, Iran
Speaker 1: won't be able to ship very much.
Speaker 2: But the other thing the UN is talking about as
Speaker 2: well as Biden is the word proportional. Proportional retaliation.
Speaker 1: So proportional. If twelve hundred Israelis.
Speaker 2: Are murdered, then Israel should only kill twelve hundred Palestinians.
Speaker 1: If one hundred and eighty.
Speaker 2: One ballistic missiles fly into Israel from Iran and no
Speaker 2: one is hurt, no one is killed, then one hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty one Israeli missiles should go into Iran where
Speaker 2: no one gets hurt. Israel is done with anything proportional.
Speaker 2: Anything you attack us, We're going balls.
Speaker 1: To the wall. How do you say balls in Hebrew?
Speaker 1: I don't know. We should look that up.
Speaker 2: No matter of fact, that's a great idea, Hey, Siri,
Speaker 2: how do you say testicles in Hebrew? I can't translate
Speaker 2: into Hebrew. You are a waste of time.
Speaker 4: She doesn't like it when you insult her.
Speaker 2: Well, I insulted her after she said no, thank you.
Speaker 2: So in any case, it's insert Hebrew name here to
Speaker 2: the wall, and Israel.
Speaker 1: Is just done with it, just done.
Speaker 2: You know, there's not gonna be any of this proportional crap.
Speaker 2: But it hasn't been for a long time. But you
Speaker 2: know it's already basically war in Lebanon, and you can't wait.
Speaker 1: To see what happens with Iran. You know, you just
Speaker 1: don't lob missiles anymore. You don't.
Speaker 3: The who thies speaking of lobbing missiles are emailing their
Speaker 3: warnings out these days.
Speaker 4: Apparently there was a guy in.
Speaker 3: Athens, Greece, who's ahead of a shipping company, and he
Speaker 3: got an unusual email, and then he also saw that
Speaker 3: it had been sent to the manager's business email address,
Speaker 3: and it warned that one of its ships that was
Speaker 3: planning to travel through the Red Sea was at risk
Speaker 3: of being attacked by Yemen's running back Toothy militia because
Speaker 3: they had violated one of their deals that I guess
Speaker 3: they imposed that said don't ship stuff to Israel and
Speaker 3: then signed it. The Yemen based Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center
Speaker 3: doesn't sound very humanitarian.
Speaker 4: Aim Asheim is that the Hebrew word the yusking.
Speaker 2: So Israel is going ashkeem to the walls.
Speaker 5: Sounds very wet, Yeah, moist, moist, all right. Liz Cheney,
Speaker 5: of course, it's a Republican, well known Republican family. On Thursday,
Speaker 5: said she is proudly casting her vote for Vice President
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris in Wisconsin, invoking the events of January sixth,
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, and touting her endorsement of Democratic presidential
Speaker 5: nominee in the crucial battleground battleground state. So she basically
Speaker 5: was like, Hey, I never voted for a Democrat, but
Speaker 5: this year, I'm proudly casting my vote for Vice President
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris. And she said that Trump's actions on January sixth,
Speaker 5: declaring that anyone who would do these things can never
Speaker 5: be trusted with power again, and it's try. I don't
Speaker 5: disagree with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't get it. I mean I too, truly
Speaker 1: don't get the support for Trump. I don't forget about policies.
Speaker 2: You can be a conservative, although I don't know how
Speaker 2: conservative Trump is. You know, he's talking about not taxing
Speaker 2: over time, not taxing tips, which means the government's gonna
Speaker 2: have to suck it up and it's going to eat
Speaker 2: trillions of dollars and Kamala Harris twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 2: they grant to people to buy their first home. And
Speaker 2: then the child credit, child credit payment to families and
Speaker 2: new families. That's going to tax everybody to crazy. They're
Speaker 2: trying to outdo each other in terms of how big
Speaker 2: a deficit this country is going to go in. There's
Speaker 2: no sisting as a deficit hawk anymore. Remember when there
Speaker 2: were deficit hawks. Do you remember when there were Republicans
Speaker 2: that are saying, we're going into too much, into dead
Speaker 2: We can't spend more money than we have every year.
Speaker 2: One point nine trillion dollars deficit this year. It's beyond crazy.
Speaker 2: And JD Vance quote peaceful demonstration in Washington January sixth,
Speaker 2: He actually said that how crazy is all of this?
Speaker 2: Explain to me how crazy is all of this, and
Speaker 2: how many Republicans out there are. And now we're not
Speaker 2: talking policy, we're talking about just the fitness, just the
Speaker 2: basic ability to govern and be an appropriate president.
Speaker 1: Three out of the thousands and thousands. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I don't Oh.
Speaker 5: I just got to Oh.
Speaker 1: I just got a.
Speaker 2: Text from Nevada for some reason, the Republican Party from Nevada,
Speaker 2: saying that only Trump is going to help us because
Speaker 2: he's not going to tax tips, and therefore Nevada's will
Speaker 2: have more money in their pocket. Well, I got news
Speaker 2: for you. He is going to tax tips. He's not
Speaker 2: going to get away with saying no tax on tips.
Speaker 2: That just doesn't happen. Just the uproar for the rest
Speaker 2: of us who pay income tax on everything we make
Speaker 2: now and overtime. No tax on overtime.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 4: Wait, but Harris is saying no tax on tips too.
Speaker 1: I know they're both they're both going out of their minds.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: The only thing I'm saying is Harris, you would expect
Speaker 2: that because she's a liberal and she wants to she
Speaker 2: makes up money. Okay, here we go. We're gonna help you,
Speaker 2: help you, help you with ignores the fact. How do
Speaker 2: you pay for it? Yeah, no, it's it's the It's
Speaker 2: crazy on both sides.
Speaker 1: We're in control.
Speaker 2: The crazies are now in control of the presidential and
Speaker 2: the government. It doesn't matter who gets in. Be prepared
Speaker 2: for having no money. Do you remember when our the
Speaker 2: balance or not the trade deficit, but when our national
Speaker 2: debt under Obama hit twenty billion dollars and the Republicans
Speaker 2: went berserk. We're never going We're never going to come
Speaker 2: back from that. The country is being destroyed. I'm talking
Speaker 2: about Trump, I'm talking about the Republicans in general. We're
Speaker 2: at thirty four trillion dollars now in that national debt,
Speaker 2: and I don't hear any you got it?
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. I hope you got that. Wow. Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: it's just me getting excited. I know we edited that out.
Speaker 1: I was in it.
Speaker 5: For the first time I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: You do that.
Speaker 2: I get really, I'm incensed by this whole thing.
Speaker 1: I thirty years, I never seen it. I just I
Speaker 1: just got it. He got me. So they don't give
Speaker 1: a body mouth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay o, no, thank you for dumping that one,
Speaker 2: literally dumping that one.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4: Jane Roe is claiming right.
Speaker 3: Garth Brooks country superstar has been accused of sexual assault
Speaker 3: and battery in a lawsuit filed by A.
Speaker 4: Jane Rowe.
Speaker 3: She says she was his hairstylist and makeup artist. She
Speaker 3: said that they had taken a business trip to la
Speaker 3: on his private jet and he raped her at a
Speaker 3: hotel that they stayed at.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I've got two questions about this, all right,
Speaker 2: question number one. He denies it completely, and according to her,
Speaker 2: there are texts sexually explicit texts between the two if
Speaker 2: she has kept them and for her lawsuit. If I'm
Speaker 2: her lawyer, I'm going to go this is good news.
Speaker 2: On the other side is how long this is go on?
Speaker 2: She talks about repeatedly exposing his genital and butt buttocks
Speaker 2: and talking about sex.
Speaker 1: How many times does that happen to you before you
Speaker 1: walk out the door.
Speaker 5: Well, if it's tied to your I understand, you know.
Speaker 2: I understand, and then we come back four years later.
Speaker 2: Okay maybe, because and there are people do come back
Speaker 2: way later. But I always question, always question that when
Speaker 2: it goes on for a long period of time, there
Speaker 2: is a question of wait, wait a minute.
Speaker 1: I mean the accusations.
Speaker 2: He gets out of the shower naked and grabs her
Speaker 2: hands and forces them onto his genitals. I would never
Speaker 2: do that because people would laugh at me. You know,
Speaker 2: you're not going to see my generals. Ever, it's so
Speaker 2: so those are my questions on both sides. By the way,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying yes or no to this. Please don't
Speaker 2: send me emails.
Speaker 1: Bill.
Speaker 2: You're not paying attention to women's rights. I understand that.
Speaker 2: Number one, the repression there. You can repress rape for
Speaker 2: a very, very long time. I get that, But it's
Speaker 2: just I don't know how long this went on. And
Speaker 2: do you ever or part of the argument is I
Speaker 2: was so abused that basically I was.
Speaker 1: I was struggling. I couldn't get out of it.
Speaker 2: It's just a lot of questions about these, and of
Speaker 2: course he denies it like everybody does.
Speaker 3: Well, he filed a suit against her as well to
Speaker 3: stop her from talking and said that she was trying
Speaker 3: to basically extort millions of dollars from him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so what does that mean? She does she
Speaker 2: say that I'm trying to extore it? Is there anything written?
Speaker 2: I would guess not. Did she have a lawyer contact
Speaker 2: him prior to all of this?
Speaker 1: Don't know, So.
Speaker 2: I always question, not that it took place, but I
Speaker 2: do question the details.
Speaker 1: And I think the devil is in the details on
Speaker 1: this stuff. All right? Did I get myself in trouble
Speaker 1: with that? God? I hope not. All right, let's just move.
Speaker 5: On the time it takes the process. Your US passport
Speaker 5: has been sped up. It used to be six to
Speaker 5: eight weeks. Now you're looking at four to six weeks,
Speaker 5: as the State Department announced just this Thursday, going to
Speaker 5: be in the new typical processing time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it used to be fairly quick, and then because
Speaker 2: of the pandemic, it went on forever. And there's a big,
Speaker 2: big argument because there are many people immigration activists that say,
Speaker 2: you don't have to show citizenship to get a passport.
Speaker 2: You should just walk up to the passport office and
Speaker 2: ask for a passport, because you don't have to show
Speaker 2: citizenship to vote, even though you have to be a citizen,
Speaker 2: Why would you have to show citizenship to get a passport?
Speaker 5: That was just being it's ridiculous, right nobody.
Speaker 2: Oh I am not because I wouldn't be surprised now
Speaker 2: I haven't heard it.
Speaker 1: But you tell me the difference between you don't have to.
Speaker 2: Prove citizenship to vote, which is a fundamental right of Americans.
Speaker 2: I mean that, you know the democracy is based on
Speaker 2: right to vote. You don't have to show citizenship. Why
Speaker 2: do not say the same thing about passports? The right
Speaker 2: to passport isn't even close to the right to vote.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it is an official document.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so as a ballot, just as official. So
Speaker 2: just make it a point here.
Speaker 5: I've never understood the whole no ID thing for Yeah,
Speaker 5: it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Make it does if you're poor, if you can't get
Speaker 2: to the office, you don't pay for franchise. It's I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: you don't need a driver, right, but the law says
Speaker 2: you have to have ID.
Speaker 1: But that's been overturned. Two.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying is that you know why, you
Speaker 2: know why not? You know that's how screwed up we
Speaker 2: all are.
Speaker 5: All right, Tad. The Ugly Tesla cyber truck is on
Speaker 5: its fifth re call within a year, the latest due
Speaker 5: to rear view camera image. It's not activating when you
Speaker 5: shift into reverse. Apparently not quickly enough. This one isn't
Speaker 5: pretty easy fix. I think it's just their their software.
Speaker 5: But they've also had gosh, what it was that there
Speaker 5: was a trim piece that came loose on the front windshield,
Speaker 5: the windshield wipers that fail. There's been all kinds of issues,
Speaker 5: the accelerator pedal would stick. And then also they're ugly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as ugly as they are, and I think everybody,
Speaker 2: I think we all agree that they're pretty ugly.
Speaker 1: I know two people that have these. They swear by them.
Speaker 5: They app of their beautiful side.
Speaker 1: There's gorgeous inside.
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, you know Katie, you know, Katie's Kellner
Speaker 2: Savile's wife.
Speaker 1: Of course she has one. And she does it white.
Speaker 2: I mean loves it. I know it's I think it's
Speaker 2: she wrapped it in Yeah, maybe white.
Speaker 5: Or but need that much attention in life? For one
Speaker 5: looks like a Chinese takeout.
Speaker 2: It does look it looks like an origami. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: you know a piece of Orgami's what it looks like. Anyway,
Speaker 2: So the people I know just absolutely love it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it is hideous, but so be it.
Speaker 4: Okay, A new place to park.
Speaker 3: You know how there's r v's all over the place
Speaker 3: around l A. Well, now, uh, there's a new bill
Speaker 3: that has been signed into law by the governor that
Speaker 3: will allow the City of Los Angeles to rent space
Speaker 3: from cal Trans for a buck a month.
Speaker 4: And that's where they plan to put all these r vs.
Speaker 3: There are twenty five parcels of land that are underneath
Speaker 3: and near freeway. So to see a whole lot of
Speaker 3: RVs parked under and near freeways, well, I know.
Speaker 1: Is that better? I mean, you've gone out near the station.
Speaker 2: You go down Forest Lawn Drive towards the one thirty four,
Speaker 2: right around the corner from us, and you literally see
Speaker 2: hundreds of r vs parked all the way down Forest
Speaker 2: Lawn Drive, right across the street from the cemetery.
Speaker 5: Is this for them to live or is this for
Speaker 5: them to transition into the house?
Speaker 4: This says storage.
Speaker 2: But well, wait a second, if you're parked on the street,
Speaker 2: how many people park their RVs on the street.
Speaker 1: I don't know very many who do.
Speaker 5: No, But I'm saying like, if they say, hey, we
Speaker 5: want to get you into permanent housing, now I.
Speaker 2: Don't know the I don't know the answer. And if
Speaker 2: it is a question of living there. Then I'm assuming
Speaker 2: they have been toilet facilities and electricity, because that's just
Speaker 2: the way government works. We'll give you a space to live,
Speaker 2: and here are some of the infrastructures. So it could
Speaker 2: just be parking. I don't know the answer.
Speaker 5: Hey, I love your shirt. Thanks, I got it at Buffum's.
Speaker 5: Nobody remembers those commercials, any of you. Well, now you
Speaker 5: could take it back to Buffom's. Apparently, California will soon
Speaker 5: have have the nation's first mandatory take back program after
Speaker 5: gav signed legislation requiring apparel companies to accept unwanted clothing.
Speaker 5: So basically they have to come up with a you know,
Speaker 5: some sort of thrift stores or some sort of ability
Speaker 5: to take back fashion because they say people are throwing
Speaker 5: it away and it's going into landfill. And I don't
Speaker 5: know what the fashion places are going to do with them,
Speaker 5: but they're.
Speaker 1: Going to recycle them. They're going to because you can
Speaker 1: recycle clothing. It's very easy.
Speaker 5: Oh oh, I'm sorry telling there are seven kids in
Speaker 5: my family.
Speaker 1: You know that's I'm not talking about.
Speaker 2: You hand them down from person to person. I think
Speaker 2: the actual recycling per se you can.
Speaker 5: Do recycle clothes. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I know that they do
Speaker 2: recycle clothes. How the hell do I know how they
Speaker 2: do it? What do I look like the recycle clothes
Speaker 2: maven here?
Speaker 5: Actually? Yes, taking fashion advice from Bill Handle is like
Speaker 5: taking fashion advice from Bill Handle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Amy.
Speaker 3: Remember when it was only home owners who were house poor.
Speaker 3: Well maybe renters are now too. More than a million
Speaker 3: households in California are paying at least three thousand dollars
Speaker 3: a month in rent, which is the most in the country,
Speaker 3: and the number of people that are paying that much
Speaker 3: grew by one hundred and twenty three thousand, sorry, one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty three percent between twenty nineteen and twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're the most expensive place in the country. Do
Speaker 1: some math. This is after tax dollars. So let's say
Speaker 1: it's three thousand.
Speaker 2: We're talking thirty six thousand dollars per year after tax dollars.
Speaker 2: You should spend about a third of your income on rent.
Speaker 2: So at a third of your income on rents rent,
Speaker 2: you're talking about an income of ninety.
Speaker 1: Two to ninety three thousand.
Speaker 2: Dollars however, after tax, because then you have to make
Speaker 2: an income of one hundred and twenty one hundred and
Speaker 2: thirty to have ninety thousand dollars net, to which you
Speaker 2: pay a third in rent.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is why people.
Speaker 2: Can't afford to live here. Yeah, lovely, all right, I
Speaker 2: think we have one more.
Speaker 5: Alrighty, So let's look at Amazon. If you're looking for
Speaker 5: a job to pay that three thousand dollars a month
Speaker 5: for your rental, massive e commerce company Amazon hiring more
Speaker 5: than three thousand seasonal roles in Los Angeles, Long Beach
Speaker 5: and Anaheim areas across the state of California. Around thirty
Speaker 5: thousand full time part time in seasonal roles starting at
Speaker 5: eighteen bucks an hour, includes access to benefits like healthcare
Speaker 5: from the first day on the job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they're getting some great benefits. Eighteen dollars
Speaker 2: an hour. What's minimum wage in.
Speaker 5: California seventeen seventeen seventy four.
Speaker 2: So starting at a big eighteen dollars twenty five cents
Speaker 2: more than minimum wage, that's a little tough.
Speaker 3: Minimum wage is only sixteen dollars an hour. But I
Speaker 3: think it's on a it's a sliding scale. So the
Speaker 3: latest increase was January first of this year. I went
Speaker 3: up to sixteen for everybody.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there are a couple more.
Speaker 5: We just have another one in July. July first, we
Speaker 5: had another bomb.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it depends on jurisdiction and jurisdiction because La
Speaker 2: City is one minimum wage California. I think there's a
Speaker 2: statewide minimum wage. So I think different places at different
Speaker 2: minimum wage. Well, sure, if you fight this food, it's
Speaker 2: twenty fast food is twenty bucks an hour if you
Speaker 2: work for a fast food establishment, and you.
Speaker 5: Shouldn't be talking about this in front of Kno, he's
Speaker 5: gonna leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I was gonna say something. I forgot
Speaker 2: what I was gonna say, truly. Okay, it doesn't matter
Speaker 2: now because obviously it wasn't that important or it was
Speaker 2: hideously important. I forgot thirty seconds after I thought about it,
Speaker 2: which is probably more the case. Okay, guys, KF I
