Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Do they say, you know a friend of convicted rapist
Speaker 2: Oprah Winfrey and Harvey what's his face?
Speaker 3: Weinstein? Yeah? And then they wasn't it gosh, what's her face?
Speaker 3: That said? Called him her streaky start this one over.
Speaker 1: He said that he right with you, and now Handle
Speaker 1: on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 4: And good good morning everybody.
Speaker 5: It is a Monday, September twenty three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that pretty well. This that promo pretty well describes
Speaker 4: our show. I think there's not much more we have
Speaker 4: to say about that.
Speaker 5: That was Friday, Baby, that's true.
Speaker 4: The promos for everybody else's show are pretty deep.
Speaker 5: No, I mean they go into it and you'll get
Speaker 5: my opinion, you know, I'll share what I have to
Speaker 5: say about it, and not here, not even close, all right,
Speaker 5: Neil the master of the promos.
Speaker 4: Good morning, good morning, Willie Wolf, Yes.
Speaker 5: Amy, good morning there, and good morning, good morning Bill.
Speaker 5: All right, and Codo, I can't see you.
Speaker 4: You won't be able to at all. The iPad is down.
Speaker 4: The iPad's down, and it does look like it's gonna.
Speaker 5: Recover Okay, So because we looked at each other, as
Speaker 5: I've explained it many times, where I'm monitors cono for me,
Speaker 5: happens to be on an iPad. So now we can
Speaker 5: and I know it's the first generation iPad, so weigh
Speaker 5: sixteen pounds, and I know it falls off of its
Speaker 5: mount So we clearly have to get another one like immediately,
Speaker 5: because I, as much as I don't want to, I
Speaker 5: have to see your face in this broadcast.
Speaker 4: So we'll talk about.
Speaker 5: This during the break see, or we can talk about
Speaker 5: it now and not even do the show and just
Speaker 5: talk about the technical aspects of this thing and how
Speaker 5: we're gonna get an iPad.
Speaker 3: Excellent start to them, thank you very much.
Speaker 5: And I'm thinking about an iPad with very little memory,
Speaker 5: maybe a used one, because all we need is to
Speaker 5: connect with each other because we don't look it up
Speaker 5: for anything else. Okay, right, let's just get going on
Speaker 5: the show. Except Neil, what kind of iPad you think
Speaker 5: would be appropriate here?
Speaker 3: Oh? A ninth generation at bare minimum?
Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 6: Mis jamiro says, the new line of Apple products are
Speaker 6: really good, so maybe we should get the new one.
Speaker 5: Oh, and they're going to write yeah. Yeah, they're gonna
Speaker 5: let us have a new iPad. Yes, that's correct, Yeah, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 5: now you can call engineering and it is two cans
Speaker 5: with a string as you're calling down the hall.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 5: We've got obviously a fair amount to do. And now
Speaker 5: the issue comes, are we going to have a full
Speaker 5: blown war?
Speaker 4: And I don't know.
Speaker 5: Yep, it's happened before I'm scheduled scheduled to leave on
Speaker 5: my vacation.
Speaker 4: As you may know, at the end of next week.
Speaker 5: And it's just what I need, just what we need.
Speaker 5: All right, fair enough, let's do this. Why don't we
Speaker 5: get right into handle. On the news on this Monday morning,
Speaker 5: September twenty three, Amy Neil and me late story, Well,
Speaker 5: in kind of a half surprise, Congress avoids that governmental
Speaker 5: shut down and what was going to happen the government, Well,
Speaker 5: government was going to shut down coming up at the
Speaker 5: end of this week. And because there is no funding.
Speaker 5: No funding means that there's no money, of course to
Speaker 5: pay anything.
Speaker 4: But that has to do. There's a take. It's a
Speaker 4: technical issue.
Speaker 5: In order for the government, and it works in debt,
Speaker 5: that's all it does. Government never has enough money, so
Speaker 5: it's always borrowing, borrowing, borrowing, borrowing. The government has to
Speaker 5: okay the borrowing, otherwise they can't borrow the money.
Speaker 4: They have to allow themselves to borrow.
Speaker 5: That's the law and what and the vote in the
Speaker 5: House is brought to the floor by the speaker, and
Speaker 5: so the speaker had said that included that is part
Speaker 5: of the bill is to make sure that if anybody votes,
Speaker 5: must prove citizenship. And that is a big tenant. And
Speaker 5: there was going to go and God bless Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: He told Mike Johnson, you don't pass that bill, you
Speaker 5: shut it down unless you get that provision in the bill.
Speaker 4: And of course he immediately said, okay, I'm going to
Speaker 4: shut it down, and under a lot lot of pressure,
Speaker 4: he basically agreed to the deal.
Speaker 5: Johnson, Mike Johnson and Chuck Schumer, who's always been in
Speaker 5: favor of funding, have agreed that they're going to be
Speaker 5: it's kicking a can down the road that until the
Speaker 5: end of December, after the election, there will be funding,
Speaker 5: but it's temporary funding. They're called continuing resolutions.
Speaker 4: They do this all of the time constantly.
Speaker 5: A matter of fact, I don't remember the last time
Speaker 5: they had a budget when it was due without continuing resolutions.
Speaker 4: So anyway, the deal is made.
Speaker 5: We have a budget until end of December, and we'll
Speaker 5: see what happens all over again. If Donald Trump gets elected,
Speaker 5: it's going to be very contentious.
Speaker 4: And if he doesn't, I think at.
Speaker 5: Least this part is going to be a lot easier
Speaker 5: if Kamala Harris gets elected, because she's much more apt
Speaker 5: to be more apt to be negotiati, negotiable, negotiating.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 6: Well, a guy who was supposed to be shopping fires
Speaker 6: was apparently starting them. A cawfire worker has been arrested
Speaker 6: for starting five separate wildfires in California in the last month.
Speaker 6: He's thirty eight years old, he's a CalFire Apparatus engineer,
Speaker 6: and these fires were started in northern California. The CalFire
Speaker 6: Director and fire chief, Joe Tyler, says he's appalled to
Speaker 6: learn that one of our employees would violate the public's
Speaker 6: trust and attempt to tarnish the tireless work of twelve
Speaker 6: thousand men and women of CalFire.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now, these were small, tiny little fires, Thank goodness, none
Speaker 5: of them conflagrated. If that's a verb So what did
Speaker 5: they say? A total of one thousand acres or not
Speaker 5: even a thousand acres.
Speaker 6: But that's still what is actually less than an acre?
Speaker 6: Oh less than a Yeah, you weren't kidding when you
Speaker 6: said small. He started them, but they quickly got.
Speaker 4: A hold of got it. Okay, they all start small, right,
Speaker 4: have potential to absolute look them out of control.
Speaker 6: So well, this is the more disturbing part. Since the
Speaker 6: first of September, CalFire has arrested ninety one people suspected
Speaker 6: of committing arson.
Speaker 4: That's lovely, that's just lovey.
Speaker 3: Have a barbecue with him. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: Hes Blah fired over one hundred rockets just early yesterday
Speaker 2: across northern Israel, some landing near the city of Haifa,
Speaker 2: and Israel launched hundreds of strikes on Lebanon.
Speaker 3: So this is what they're referring to.
Speaker 2: Hesbela leader declared an open ended battle, which is kind
Speaker 2: of a way of saying the beginning of all out war.
Speaker 4: Well, we're going to see, We're going to see.
Speaker 5: Hesbla is doing this strictly is solidarity with Hamas and
Speaker 5: the Palestinians.
Speaker 4: Now Hesbla and Israel, of course have been on.
Speaker 5: Tenor hooks with for war for decades, and two thousand
Speaker 5: and six they actually went to war.
Speaker 4: Israel and Lebanon did go to war, and it was
Speaker 4: devastating for both sides.
Speaker 5: Hesbelah has been holding back other than the missiles going in.
Speaker 5: The missiles don't do much damage. I mean they're launched
Speaker 5: and there is some damage done. Israeli airstrikes are targeted.
Speaker 5: If they say we're taking out the fifth floor of
Speaker 5: that building where Hamas militants are, or yes, either Hamas
Speaker 5: or Hesbelah militants are, they'll take it out. So as
Speaker 5: far as a tit for tat, Israel's going to do
Speaker 5: more damage. The problem is does this go this iss
Speaker 5: escalate full blast and that decision and by the way,
Speaker 5: Israel may very well make the decision to go full blast,
Speaker 5: so that changes everything.
Speaker 2: What with that being said, built when Hesbelah shoots rockets
Speaker 2: knowing that they're really not going to do much, is
Speaker 2: that where their way of doing something and not really
Speaker 2: doing anything that like, hey, look we responded.
Speaker 5: But yes, yes they still do damage, but not nearly
Speaker 5: the Israelis do.
Speaker 4: And now the question is do they go to war?
Speaker 5: The difference is up to this point, Israel has been
Speaker 5: a little reluctant to go to war. It's always been reactive,
Speaker 5: not this time around. Look at the netan Yahoo government.
Speaker 5: I mean, they're just going They're just pounding it and
Speaker 5: effectively begging for a war to start and fully prepared
Speaker 5: to do it.
Speaker 4: So we're going to see what's happening on the next
Speaker 4: few days.
Speaker 5: It's on a precipice, It literally is on that knife's edge, unfortunately,
Speaker 5: and regional war breaks out, and it's going to be
Speaker 5: a god awful mess. Our economy is going to be
Speaker 5: in trouble, all of it. Around the world, that'll be
Speaker 5: deeply affected for sure.
Speaker 6: All right, clearing the way to clear out Hamas, Israeli
Speaker 6: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apparently is considering a plan to
Speaker 6: force all Palestinian civilians out of northern Gaza, including Gaza
Speaker 6: the city, so they can pound away at Hamas and
Speaker 6: force the release of hostages. Not sure yet how many
Speaker 6: Palestinians are even left in the Nedzarim corridor, which splits
Speaker 6: Gaza into but estimates are that there are hundreds of
Speaker 6: thousands of people there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're talking about north of the corridor. And look
Speaker 5: what Natagna who is doing. He's basically saying that the
Speaker 5: majority of people in Gaza who live in northern in
Speaker 5: the north part of Gaza, Gaza City being I don't
Speaker 5: know half the population of all of Gaza.
Speaker 4: Which are now in the south.
Speaker 5: Because of the order to evacuate.
Speaker 4: What he is saying is that everybody up there leaves.
Speaker 5: The only people will be left are Hamas militants, and
Speaker 5: you're not coming back.
Speaker 4: Effectively, we don't know if you ever coming back.
Speaker 5: That's the equivalent of invasion of California and saying the
Speaker 5: population of San Francisco and La cannot live there anymore.
Speaker 4: We're going to move you into another part.
Speaker 5: Of California the majority of the population and where whatever industry.
Speaker 4: They have is it's getting brutal. S getting brought me
Speaker 4: this government.
Speaker 5: There is nothing peaceful about this government. I mean with yeah,
Speaker 5: it's very right wing, it's very militant.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom signing the Big Bills Plastic Band part two
Speaker 2: he signs into law, goes into effect into effect twenty
Speaker 2: twenty six January first.
Speaker 3: And this all deals with the.
Speaker 2: Fact that the last band done in twenty fourteen, actually
Speaker 2: we increased the amount of plastic bag waste because of
Speaker 2: a so called loophole, which basically means they don't know
Speaker 2: what they're doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that really wasn't a loophole. It was more unintended
Speaker 5: consequences than anything else. We can't get those single use
Speaker 5: plastic bags anymore, so it's much harder now to commit
Speaker 5: suicide with the thicker black bags because there are a
Speaker 5: lot stiffer.
Speaker 4: So you can't kill people with them as easily as
Speaker 4: he used to.
Speaker 5: And it's turned out that they are a complete disaster
Speaker 5: at seven point twenty.
Speaker 4: I'm going to talk about that.
Speaker 5: And this is the law of unintended consequences, which I've
Speaker 5: talked about over and over again, which lawmakers never spend
Speaker 5: enough time thinking about, and having been involved in writing
Speaker 5: a couple of bills that are law in California, we
Speaker 5: spent probably ninety percent of the time writing those laws,
Speaker 5: and talk about unintended consequences that is always the problem.
Speaker 2: We should do like a I don't know, scientific test
Speaker 2: in the Morning show where we get a bunch of
Speaker 2: plastic bags and put them over your head and see
Speaker 2: which ones do the job? Is he and gave me
Speaker 2: a thumbs up yep, Amy's too polite, but she's thinking it.
Speaker 5: See that's a pretty good at Halle Halloween costume too,
Speaker 5: is you put one of those bags over your head
Speaker 5: and then you masquerade as groceries.
Speaker 6: Okay, So people are bailing on the North Carolina's Republican
Speaker 6: candidate for governor. Several of the top officials in his campaign,
Speaker 6: Mark Robinson's campaign have stepped down. His general consultant, senior advisor,
Speaker 6: campaign manager, finance director, deputy campaign manager. They've all stepped down,
Speaker 6: plus the demputy finance director, the political director, another political director,
Speaker 6: and the director of operations. They've all left. And this is,
Speaker 6: of course, in the aftermath of a report on CNN
Speaker 6: of the governor's candidate making inflammatory comments on a porno
Speaker 6: website message board ten years ago.
Speaker 5: Now don't you find this interesting? This is CNN that
Speaker 5: released this information. This was several days ago. I have
Speaker 5: yet to hear another major news outlet corroborate that story.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, they all say, we have
Speaker 5: not corroborated this.
Speaker 4: ABC. ABC has not corroborated this.
Speaker 5: Channel, NBC goes NBC has not corroborated this. And no
Speaker 5: one seems to think that he didn't do it. I mean,
Speaker 5: he argues he didn't, that the whole thing is fake
Speaker 5: and all that, but no one's buying that at all.
Speaker 5: And so I'm just fascinated by this. And the big
Speaker 5: thing is why hasn't it been corroborated? How hard is
Speaker 5: it going to be to corroborate this story? And I
Speaker 5: have not yet heard it. Amy, have you heard any
Speaker 5: news outlets saying yep?
Speaker 6: Nope? I was watching the news shows yesterday. I was
Speaker 6: watching NBC and they said, we have not confirmed this,
Speaker 6: we're working on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Do you find that interesting?
Speaker 6: Yes, because, like you said, it was four days ago.
Speaker 6: You'd think by now they would be able to so
Speaker 6: that you have raised a great question. Why are they not?
Speaker 6: Is it too much to step into or is.
Speaker 4: It not real?
Speaker 6: Yeah, which is what Mark Robinson is.
Speaker 5: Saying, and he's the only one that's saying it though.
Speaker 5: You're not hearing any of the Republicans saying. You're not
Speaker 5: hearing the Trump campaign saying it is fake. Matter of fact,
Speaker 5: you know, Trump and other Republicans are stepping away. I
Speaker 5: mean they're distancing themselves away from Mark Robinson.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Jad Evans yesterday said it's not up to me to
Speaker 6: decide he needs to defend himself and prove that it
Speaker 6: wasn't him.
Speaker 4: If now do you find that surprising I do.
Speaker 5: Releasing that kind of information, I would argue if it
Speaker 5: hasn't been corroborated, I'd be screaming if I were a Republican,
Speaker 5: national or local.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is pretty it's pretty volatile and pretty bad.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: The other thing we learned is that CNN spends a
Speaker 2: lot of time on porn.
Speaker 3: Sites, clearly be able to get this kind of information.
Speaker 3: That's what word, that's the lead, all right.
Speaker 2: California Air Resources Board announced Friday that emissions of play
Speaker 2: at warming carbon dioxide shrink about ninety nine point three
Speaker 2: million metric guns in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3: That's compared to two thousand and.
Speaker 2: Twenty one, and that's the equivalent of two point two
Speaker 2: million gas powered vehicles taken from the road each year.
Speaker 3: They're thrilled about this.
Speaker 2: There's you know, some say that it's the more evs
Speaker 2: on the road. The others are saying that you also
Speaker 2: have trucks that are using bio fuels that are better
Speaker 2: for the environment as well. Crop based biofuds is what
Speaker 2: they call them instead of conventional diesel fuel, and that
Speaker 2: that's helping as well. So we shall see. And then
Speaker 2: you have China laughing at us, going, oh okay, that
Speaker 2: should help two.
Speaker 4: And a half percent and eight zillion trucks.
Speaker 5: I was coming up from Long Beach on Friday and
Speaker 5: driving from the port. I was down there having lunch
Speaker 5: with a friend, actually Rye Pile, and I was driving
Speaker 5: up towards the valley. And so I'm heading north on
Speaker 5: the four h five from the port or seven ten
Speaker 5: and heading south into the port ten miles or eight
Speaker 5: or ten miles of trucks bumper to bumper going three
Speaker 5: hundred yards an hour, knowing they're going to be there
Speaker 5: for the next three days in line to get to
Speaker 5: the port. I mean, I've never seen so many trucks
Speaker 5: in my life. Is along the road, all four or
Speaker 5: five lanes jammed getting into the port, all of them
Speaker 5: running diesel.
Speaker 4: What does that tell you?
Speaker 2: I will tell you anytime you could be kind of truckers.
Speaker 2: Be kind of truckers.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: They move everything for us on the daily basis, in
Speaker 2: the worst conditions possible. Slow down, let them, you know,
Speaker 2: merge all that stuff. I can't believe what they have
Speaker 2: to do for us on the data.
Speaker 5: The reason to recognize either just you know, look at
Speaker 5: their left arms and on their left arms more so than.
Speaker 3: Hanging it out the side of those long drives.
Speaker 6: All right, Well, the investigation into the implosion continues. The
Speaker 6: surviving co founder of the company that owned the titans
Speaker 6: submersible that imploded on its way down to visit the
Speaker 6: Titanic is going to testify today as a US Coast
Speaker 6: Guard panel continues to investigate what led to the implosion
Speaker 6: that killed five people. Now, the founder of ocean Gate
Speaker 6: was the one who was operating the mini submersible. He
Speaker 6: died in June of twenty twenty three, along with four
Speaker 6: other Titan passengers. The co founder of ocean Gate is
Speaker 6: Guillermal Sonline. He left the company in twenty thirteen, and
Speaker 6: he'll be he's the one who's going to testify today.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think there was all kinds of problems.
Speaker 5: This thing was haphazardly built, didn't have the safeguards, and
Speaker 5: you know, five people.
Speaker 2: That died wasn't one of the issues build That they
Speaker 2: were using carbon fiber, which the integrity would be not half.
Speaker 3: But each time they went down, it would be.
Speaker 5: Yes, it would deteriorate, yes, yeah, Well they're doing the
Speaker 5: investigation now.
Speaker 4: But the bottom line is two things.
Speaker 5: Number one, I'm going to find it with substandard and
Speaker 5: construction and a risk from day one. And you probably
Speaker 5: will not see this ride at Disneyland, the Doom Titan
Speaker 5: ride where it simulates you going underwater to.
Speaker 4: Blows up and you die. That probably won't be seen.
Speaker 2: I would build that ride, but you should make a
Speaker 2: handle Land.
Speaker 6: Yea death and destruction that.
Speaker 5: Would yeah, it would be. Yeah, you can't breathe. Earthquakes
Speaker 5: simulated my.
Speaker 2: Happiest place on Earth, the happiest place on Earth.
Speaker 3: Handle Land. Oh my god. All right.
Speaker 2: Former President Donald trum he was talking yesterday and he
Speaker 2: says he doesn't see himself running for president again if
Speaker 2: he loses. He said, no, no, I don't. And he said,
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully we're going to be successful. But if not,
Speaker 2: why would that put him at eighty one or eighty two,
Speaker 2: because he's already now the oldest person running for president
Speaker 2: now that Biden's out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it would put him at eighty Well, if he's
Speaker 5: seventy eight, eighty two.
Speaker 4: I think clost to eighty three. A couple of things
Speaker 4: I want to point about to this was very interesting.
Speaker 4: Is one.
Speaker 5: This is the first time that Trump has admitted if
Speaker 5: he loses, oh, basically not saying that if I lose
Speaker 5: it is rigged.
Speaker 4: It's if he loses, okay, which is okay. The guy's
Speaker 4: running for president.
Speaker 5: Based on that, he is sort of agreeing that we
Speaker 5: have free elections. And the other thing I have not
Speaker 5: heard is the election is rigged.
Speaker 4: Not yet. I don't know if we're going to hear
Speaker 4: it or not.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: There have been some moves to change the voting in
Speaker 5: various legislatures around the country to make it more pro Trump.
Speaker 4: But I'm not hearing the same strident the election.
Speaker 5: Is rigged, the election is rigged. I'm not hearing that
Speaker 5: at all, which gives me some hope. Actually, now you'll
Speaker 5: hear the election is rigged if Trump loses, I guarantee you.
Speaker 5: But it won't be seventy five percent of the Republicans
Speaker 5: believing that like they did in twenty twenty, like they
Speaker 5: do about twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: So a little hope.
Speaker 5: And I can't imagine him saying I can't imagine him
Speaker 5: running again.
Speaker 4: There'll be a lot of pressure for him to run again.
Speaker 5: In the event he loses, I'll tell you that Mega
Speaker 5: Republicans will not give up the ghost. They believe in
Speaker 5: the world of MAGA that there is nobody else and
Speaker 5: whoever is nominated if Trump doesn't run again, will be
Speaker 5: an ersatz Trump, will be kind of an almost Trump,
Speaker 5: not quite, but sort of a wanna bee. So it's
Speaker 5: going to be fascinating, to say the least.
Speaker 6: Well, so Much for American owned motels is being acquired
Speaker 6: by an Indian company. The New York based investment firm
Speaker 6: Blackstone currently owns it, but they're selling it in an
Speaker 6: all cash transaction worth five hundred and twenty five million dollars.
Speaker 6: Doesn't that seem kind of low?
Speaker 5: Well, if you look at it, it is because they
Speaker 5: bought it for one point two billion. But from what
Speaker 5: I understand, they moved it towards a franchise operation and
Speaker 5: then that made buckets of money.
Speaker 4: And I think they're keeping the O and O. They
Speaker 4: owned and.
Speaker 5: Operated Motel sixes and that sold for what is it,
Speaker 5: six hundred and twenty five million dollars or five twenty
Speaker 5: five So we don't know exactly what this story is,
Speaker 5: but I don't think Oh my god. They bought it
Speaker 5: for one point nine billion, and they turned around and
Speaker 5: sold it for five hundred and.
Speaker 4: Twenty five million. It's not like Snappo.
Speaker 5: If you remember when Snapple was created and Rush Limbaugh
Speaker 5: put him.
Speaker 4: On the map.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're huge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think.
Speaker 5: Quaker Oats bought Snapple for two point something billion dollars
Speaker 5: and that's when a billion dollars was a fair amount
Speaker 5: of money back then. And they turned around and sold
Speaker 5: it for three hundred million dollars. They lost virtually their
Speaker 5: entire investment. I don't think this is the case here.
Speaker 4: I don't. This is Blackstone.
Speaker 5: Blackstone is the premiere, I think, maybe the biggest venture
Speaker 5: capital firm in the country.
Speaker 4: And these guys are real smart. They don't buy businesses
Speaker 4: and lose tons of money on them.
Speaker 2: All right, you remember the poop balloons. Well, South Korea's
Speaker 2: Joint Chiefs of Chiefs of Staff said today that Soul
Speaker 2: may respond militarily to any casualties caused by North Korea's
Speaker 2: launching of the so called trash balloons across the shared border.
Speaker 2: And this is what they refer to as internationally shameful
Speaker 2: and a petty act that creates discomfort and anxiety among
Speaker 2: our people. That is a low level act of intended
Speaker 2: and intended to incite conflict.
Speaker 5: It's actually a low level act intended to humiliate and
Speaker 5: just bug the hell out of you. So in response,
Speaker 5: what they should send up is porta potties on balloons
Speaker 5: and then just release those maybe armed porta potties with
Speaker 5: people inside them, you know, with shotguns or with machine guns. Yeah,
Speaker 5: come on, this is South Korea being ridiculous. Usually South
Speaker 5: Korea that says he makes these insane, stupid comments.
Speaker 4: This time around, it's South Korea.
Speaker 6: Well, Zelenski is going to share his plans to win
Speaker 6: the war that he's losing. Ukrainian President Zelenski is going
Speaker 6: to meet with President Biden this week and share his
Speaker 6: new victory plan that he says will achieve a just
Speaker 6: piece in Ukraine. The plan will include requests to strengthen
Speaker 6: Ukraine's arsenal as well as permission to strike targets deeper
Speaker 6: inside Russia, which the US has been kind of not
Speaker 6: very supportive of so far.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of moving pieces here.
Speaker 5: One is the election coming up, and that is the
Speaker 5: fear that Donald Trump is going to win This is
Speaker 5: only relative to Ukraine, and he is thinks very differently
Speaker 5: in terms of American involvement Ukraine NATO involvement. So in
Speaker 5: anticipation of Trump possibly winning, they're going to start front
Speaker 5: loading the weaponry going to Ukraine like crazy.
Speaker 4: Two.
Speaker 5: Russia says that if these long range artillery and missiles
Speaker 5: that can go deeper into Russia in fact are supplied
Speaker 5: by Americans and NATO, that's another line in the sand,
Speaker 5: and that will whatever he's going to say, we don't
Speaker 5: know we're going to do, but we're going to do
Speaker 5: a lot. Well, I mean, he's not going to go
Speaker 5: to war, all right, he's not going to attack NATO. Now,
Speaker 5: Can he go to war financially economically, you bet he can,
Speaker 5: except that may hurt him more than it hurts the
Speaker 5: Allied countries. Does he cut off his nose to spite
Speaker 5: his face, or cut off his face to spite his nose,
Speaker 5: or whichever way goes, or something new with nostrils. I
Speaker 5: have no idea how that phrase works, but well, we'll
Speaker 5: see what happens. I mean, none of this is easy.
Speaker 5: I think the bottom line is him threatening again this
Speaker 5: will be a line in the sand. You can't cross
Speaker 5: which had which has been crossed several times and nothing
Speaker 5: has happened.
Speaker 4: So that's to be planned out.
Speaker 5: And do Zlinsky is in Washington right now and I
Speaker 5: think he's I think he's speaking in front of the
Speaker 5: United Nations, isn't he?
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's doing that right now.
Speaker 6: He's doing that this week, and then we'll.
Speaker 4: Show you a schedule what right now means during this trip.
Speaker 3: Okay, ye, all right.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of Council Member Kevin de
Speaker 2: Leone by any stretch of the imagination, but it's hard
Speaker 2: to disagree with him on this. You've got residents in
Speaker 2: Lincoln Heights and El Sereno that are frustrated because you
Speaker 2: have Union Pacific Railroads. They're they're like pausing and stopping
Speaker 2: their trains, blocking for hours, blocking important intersect actions. And
Speaker 2: now de Leone is looking at possible legal action with them.
Speaker 2: And you know that the fuel smells everything, they just
Speaker 2: pause for hours.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's crazy, isn't It does? Makes any sense? And
Speaker 5: you got to give Kevin de Leone credit. I mean,
Speaker 5: this is a sidebar story, but I had remember do
Speaker 5: you remember that when the scandal broke about those racist
Speaker 5: statements made sure at the Department of Labor building or
Speaker 5: not the Department the Labor Association building.
Speaker 4: And what is it, nori uh?
Speaker 5: Was that Martinez had to resign and the head of
Speaker 5: the Labor Federation had to resign, and he wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4: He just said, no, thank you, I'm not resigning. He
Speaker 4: was right.
Speaker 5: I didn't think he had a chance of surviving and it.
Speaker 2: Was the worst in that situation, but he but he
Speaker 2: pulled it off.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 5: I think that he I agree with you, he is
Speaker 5: dead dead right on this one.
Speaker 4: You just can't have these trains doing that block for hours.
Speaker 5: Although you know it's not in my neighborhood, so it's
Speaker 5: in I can understand euret.
Speaker 2: But yeah, everybody puts it in the neighborhoods where they
Speaker 2: think that people are going to speak the least loudly,
Speaker 2: and it sucks, because.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does. Let's do one more and then we
Speaker 4: are done.
Speaker 6: This story is kind of tailor made for a movie.
Speaker 6: I think Luis Armando Albino was six years old in
Speaker 6: nineteen fifty one when he was kidnapped while he was
Speaker 6: playing at a park in Oakland. Now more than seven
Speaker 6: decades later, he's been found thanks to an online ancestry test.
Speaker 4: And he was.
Speaker 5: It was Wow, he was kidnapped in broad daylight, in
Speaker 5: the sun. Maybe that's why they couldn't see him.
Speaker 3: Is that a no bino joke? Really is?
Speaker 4: It is one hundred percent in now bino joke.
Speaker 6: Okay, So the woman who kidnapped him flew him to
Speaker 6: I'm just going glossing right over that. Bill flew him
Speaker 6: to the East Coast and he ended up with a
Speaker 6: couple who raised him as their own.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and seventy years later, I mean, obviously that's going
Speaker 5: to happen.
Speaker 4: It's just an interesting story.
Speaker 3: But his mom's mom dined in two thousand.
Speaker 4: I know everybody is dead. It's really strange. All Right, guys,
Speaker 4: we are done.
