Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
Speaker 1: AM six forty. Ladies and gentlemen, Here's Wayne resnickfi.
Speaker 2: AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Good Morning,
Speaker 2: It is the Bill Handles Show. Bill is on vacation.
Speaker 2: I believe he is now in Italy, which means tomorrow's
Speaker 2: Handle on the news. The lead story will be loud
Speaker 2: American kicked out of Italy.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be fun?
Speaker 4: Stay tuned for that. It probably would be fun. It
Speaker 4: would be fun for him.
Speaker 2: He's the kind of guy that would love getting kicked
Speaker 2: out of a place for being obnoxious.
Speaker 5: I have traveled with him and in Morocco, in Brazil
Speaker 5: and a couple of places. It's the same. He is
Speaker 5: here there, and it's really you have to do a
Speaker 5: lot of apologizing as he leaves.
Speaker 2: Bill Handle abroad has done more damage to the global
Speaker 2: reputation of the United States of America than John Birch,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and somebody else whose people around the world
Speaker 2: don't like that. I can't think of I wanted to
Speaker 2: throw in a Shay Grivara.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I wanted to throw in a liberal to balance it
Speaker 2: because I'm not trying to be biased, but I can't
Speaker 2: right now, I can't think of a liberal American who
Speaker 2: has engendered distaste for America around the world.
Speaker 4: Now, if anybody knows of.
Speaker 2: One, you can email me at Liberal Embarrassing American at
Speaker 2: yamdex dot org.
Speaker 5: We can't really embarrass yourself if you're just apologizing for
Speaker 5: your country.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 5: I'm American. I'm so sorry. I'm wearing your native dress
Speaker 5: and trying to speak your language.
Speaker 2: I'm planking outside of Auschwitz for Instagram.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, All right, everybody, let's get down to business.
Speaker 2: You know, yesterday we wasted the entire first segment. And
Speaker 2: when I say we, when I say we, I mean me.
Speaker 4: I did it.
Speaker 2: I wasted the entire first segment. There was a good reason, though.
Speaker 2: If you missed it and you want to know what happened,
Speaker 2: there is a podcast I assume that you can go
Speaker 2: to the iHeartRadio app or to the website KFI AM
Speaker 2: six forty dot com. Go to the podcast for Bill
Speaker 2: Handles show. You can probably hear that debacle. It's worth
Speaker 2: listening to for what a wreck it was. I say,
Speaker 2: but we're not going to have any of that today.
Speaker 2: Today's going to be a smooth, professional, get right down
Speaker 2: to its show, Meat and Potatoes, delicious meat and Potato
Speaker 2: show for you, which we will begin now first with
Speaker 2: the Good Mornings and ann producer. You are asking for
Speaker 2: trouble in this building which houses KFI but also our
Speaker 2: friends down the hall at AM five seventy LA Sports,
Speaker 2: the flagship radio station of the Dodgers, and you're sitting there,
Speaker 2: You are sitting there right now, brazenly in a San
Speaker 2: Diego Padres cap I actually.
Speaker 6: Did this for you because your predicition was that it
Speaker 6: was going to be a blood bath last night.
Speaker 2: My prediction was the Dodgers would well, the Dodgers would
Speaker 2: bounce back from the blood bath at their exp fence
Speaker 2: at the hands of the Padres on Sunday, and that
Speaker 2: they would bounce back with a vengeance.
Speaker 4: That was my prediction. That didn't happen.
Speaker 2: WHOA the gloating so good wow, Well just listen man.
Speaker 4: Uh if you.
Speaker 2: End up shanked in the hallway, you'll know why.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Good morning to you. It maybe La Cono.
Speaker 2: Good morning, sir, Good morning, and I'm glad we didn't
Speaker 2: have you know what happened yesterday, happened today, So that
Speaker 2: was good.
Speaker 4: What are you eating? Oh, don't even in the middle
Speaker 4: of me saying good morning to you. What are you doing?
Speaker 4: Is that a pop tart? Well you said good morning,
Speaker 4: I I was gonna come back on the air. Yes,
Speaker 4: it's a pop tart.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Well, everybody's bragging this morning about something, AND's
Speaker 2: bragging about her padres. Kono's bragging that he got a
Speaker 2: cinnamon pop tart. Neil, good morning. What do you have
Speaker 2: to brag about.
Speaker 5: I just noticed you and I are the only one's
Speaker 5: not wearing a ball cap.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that is accurate. We'll get to Amy
Speaker 2: in a moment. And her ball cap. Kno has a
Speaker 2: ball cap. But is that a company baseball cap you're wearing.
Speaker 4: No, this is a one love I E. It's an
Speaker 4: ill An Empire staple. All right, very good, Neil, What
Speaker 4: would you like to brag about?
Speaker 5: I don't. I just never heard anybody be so proud
Speaker 5: of the IE.
Speaker 4: Don't do it. Don't don't.
Speaker 5: That's a joke. I love the I Listen, I stand
Speaker 5: up for the I E. I'm just joking. I'll do it.
Speaker 5: I love the I E.
Speaker 7: I do.
Speaker 5: I have a place in San Burdu. Yes.
Speaker 4: I E stands for intervenous excellence.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I what are you going to brag about something?
Speaker 4: Or shall I move on?
Speaker 5: Uh? I'm just happy to be here part of the ting.
Speaker 2: Very good, Amy King, Good morning. Now you're wearing a
Speaker 2: Dodger's cap.
Speaker 3: Good morning, of course, I am so.
Speaker 4: It's going to be a girl fight in the hallway
Speaker 4: after the show.
Speaker 3: No, you know what.
Speaker 8: For me, it's friendly fun. In fact, I encouraged Anne
Speaker 8: yesterday to wear her Poudrey is scared. She said, I
Speaker 8: don't know if it's a good idea, And I said,
Speaker 8: I think you can. I think that you know, we're
Speaker 8: big boys and girls. We can handle this.
Speaker 4: True story.
Speaker 6: I even said, out of respect for the building and
Speaker 6: everybody in it, I'm not going to do that, And
Speaker 6: then everybody said, no, really you should.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, okay, bring it on.
Speaker 2: This is Have you ever thought about why they're encouraging
Speaker 2: you to do something so provocative?
Speaker 3: Do they want to beat her up?
Speaker 5: Violence in the halls?
Speaker 4: Possibly?
Speaker 2: Maybe you've been talking I'm her, I'm I'm fearful for
Speaker 2: her safety. Hey morning, all right, check it off? Kno
Speaker 2: on the FCC log check off, the good mornings have
Speaker 2: been good morning, and now we go to handle on
Speaker 2: the news with Neil Sevadra and Amy King and me,
Speaker 2: and this.
Speaker 4: Is the lead story.
Speaker 2: Well, Amy, just confirm or correct as of this moment
Speaker 2: to the best reporting that we can look at Milton.
Speaker 2: Hurricane Milton is back to a category five.
Speaker 3: Actually it's dropped back down to a.
Speaker 4: GA to a four, but it was a five like
Speaker 4: two hours ago.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, so it's strengthening and weakening, but still it's one
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty five mile an hour winds and they're
Speaker 8: expecting a you know, a huge storm surge. So the
Speaker 8: categorization I think is kind of irrelevant at this point.
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's expected to hit land around they're well,
Speaker 2: like they're saying tonight, but maybe five pm Eastern time.
Speaker 2: I saw the tracking thing, and what I can tell
Speaker 2: you looking at it, assuming it's accurate, is by eleven
Speaker 2: am our time, two pm their time, the core red
Speaker 2: band part of it won't yet have hit land, but
Speaker 2: the next ring, the like dark yellow orangey ring, will
Speaker 2: be touching the coast and that's gonna be bad enough
Speaker 2: to cause havoc. You don't necessarily need the core of
Speaker 2: the storm to cause great havoc with a storm this strong,
Speaker 2: So probably sometime later this morning we will start to
Speaker 2: hear the first of very very bad storm surges, rains,
Speaker 2: and winds hitting the fine people of Tampa.
Speaker 5: Have you seen any of the NASA NASA footage, Yes,
Speaker 5: Oh my god, it's scary it to see it from
Speaker 5: so high and to see how big it is is insane.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of factors with this Milton. In fact
Speaker 2: that at seven I'm going to go through there's at
Speaker 2: least four particular ingredients that are making Milton a truly
Speaker 2: historic and extremely perplexing hurricane. And we'll get into that
Speaker 2: at seven, but we'll keep an eye obviously on what's
Speaker 2: going on over there, and I imagine some time possibly
Speaker 2: during Gary and shann And is when we'll really start
Speaker 2: to get the bad news about what's happening there. In
Speaker 2: the meantime, there is some not so great news already.
Speaker 8: Yeah, bad news if you're trying to fill it up
Speaker 8: before you get out of town. The gas stations in
Speaker 8: Florida are apparently running out of gas. People are trying
Speaker 8: to fill up their tanks to drive away, or if
Speaker 8: they're deciding to stay, which everybody's saying, don't. But if
Speaker 8: they're deciding to stay, they're filling up there, or they're
Speaker 8: getting extra gas for generators and that kind of stuff
Speaker 8: in case the power is knocked out and they don't
Speaker 8: have power for hours. So they're saying as of last night,
Speaker 8: almost twenty percent of the gas stations in the state
Speaker 8: had run out of fuel. That's just under fifteen hundred
Speaker 8: gas stations that have run out of gas. The Florida
Speaker 8: Governor Ronda Santas said that they are working to get
Speaker 8: emergency supplies of gas to the stations that have run
Speaker 8: out of gas. So they're working on it, but because
Speaker 8: there's such a huge demand, they're running out now.
Speaker 4: I thought, and we had talked about this, that.
Speaker 2: They were staging gasoline along the evacuation routes so that
Speaker 2: a there wouldn't necessarily have to be a run on
Speaker 2: the gas stations. But also if the gas stations ran
Speaker 2: out of fuel, that as you were fleeing and you
Speaker 2: got say fifty miles up the interstate, that there'd be
Speaker 2: places that would have gas available for you.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that didn't happen.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that was part of the plan, and possibly
Speaker 2: the fact that these gas stations have run out of
Speaker 2: gas won't have as big a negative impact on people
Speaker 2: try and get out of there. You know, DeSantis, this
Speaker 2: whole thing about Kamala Harris and people saying he ignored
Speaker 2: her calls, but he publicly said, Joe Biden's doing a
Speaker 2: great job, and they were talking and Joe Biden's given
Speaker 2: them everything he wants. O Biden said, Ron DeSantis is
Speaker 2: on top of it there in Florida, and we're giving
Speaker 2: him everything that he needs. And it almost sounds like
Speaker 2: and Desanta's actually said this, He said, nobody even told
Speaker 2: me she was trying to call me. She's not in
Speaker 2: the chain of command for something like this. What is like,
Speaker 2: what is she even Why would she be trying to
Speaker 2: call me in the first place. So I'm just I'm
Speaker 2: wondering if that drama is overblown because Desanta seems happy
Speaker 2: with Biden. Biden seems happy with DeSantis, and they'll they'll
Speaker 2: be after this is over. Someone will see how well
Speaker 2: they did in Florida with helping people get out of there.
Speaker 5: Israeli Prime Minister Vibi net and Yahoo because we're so
Speaker 5: close confirmed yesterday that Hesblah's intended replacement of its former leader,
Speaker 5: Sayed Hassan Nazarella Uh he was killed last month if
Speaker 5: you remember. Well, now his supposed replacement has been taken out.
Speaker 5: And he goes on to say that they've degraded Hesbelah's capabilities.
Speaker 5: They took out thousands of terrorists, including the former leader
Speaker 5: leader and his replacement and the replacement of his replacement.
Speaker 5: And they told two friends and so on.
Speaker 2: It's like the shampoo ad. Yes, sir, also, and I
Speaker 2: do think this is telling of something.
Speaker 4: You tell me what you think.
Speaker 2: Maybe this means Hesbila's deputy leader, Naim Kussim, said he's
Speaker 2: open to talking about a ceasefire and he's open to
Speaker 2: talking about it without having anything about Gaza as part
Speaker 2: of the ceasefire agreement with Israel.
Speaker 6: Hmm.
Speaker 2: That means he's scared and he knows that they're losing
Speaker 2: this situation to Israel militarily, you know, in terms of
Speaker 2: public opinion and stuff.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
Speaker 5: Speaking of which, don't you think that it should be
Speaker 5: celebrated when these terrorists are taken out because isn't that
Speaker 5: much closer to the end of the war and those protesting.
Speaker 5: Don't you think they should be excited when the you know,
Speaker 5: the people in power and quotes are being taken out
Speaker 5: because that means civilians will be safer closer to the
Speaker 5: end of the war.
Speaker 2: Yes, But the problem is that if you're talking about
Speaker 2: the the like pro Palestinian protesters, the people who say
Speaker 2: Israel is committing genocide, that those kinds of protesters, yeah,
Speaker 2: they they don't see Hesboala or Gaza as bad. They
Speaker 2: see them as watch as freedom fighters. So think of
Speaker 2: a think of a group that you like and think
Speaker 2: does good work, and then imagine the leader of that
Speaker 2: group is assassinated by an evil, genocidal country. You're not
Speaker 2: gonna be happy at all. You're gonna be a little
Speaker 2: miffed about it.
Speaker 5: Well, what if you told them that those leaders would
Speaker 5: put the women behind bars for speaking out against men
Speaker 5: being in their place and that they shouldn't drive and
Speaker 5: they should be seen not heard. That type thing.
Speaker 4: That's not you can't you can't have.
Speaker 2: That's the problem with this whole situation is it's only
Speaker 2: about one thing. It's about one view, and it is
Speaker 2: a narrow view, which is somehow and I'd like to
Speaker 2: explain it like, oh, this is exactly what they think.
Speaker 2: But I'm an outsider looking at it. It's this very
Speaker 2: narrow view that Israel is evil and anybody else, any
Speaker 2: nobody who's against Israel is therefore good. The opposite right,
Speaker 2: the enemy of evil is good. Israel is evil, So
Speaker 2: Hamas must be good, Hesbela must be good, Iran must
Speaker 2: be good. The PLO must have been good when they
Speaker 2: kidnapped the Israeli athletes in Munich. That must have been good,
Speaker 2: because whether or not something's good is only measured in
Speaker 2: terms of is it hurting Israel? Because Israel is evil
Speaker 2: and must be hurt at any cost, and by anyone.
Speaker 4: Anyone who hurts them is thumbs up.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're speaking like a rational person when you
Speaker 2: say people should be happy to see the leader the
Speaker 2: leaders of terrorist organizations taken out. That's a rational person speaking.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: It seems like we've gotten to the vi stimization, that
Speaker 5: place where everyone's a victim, so they only are going
Speaker 5: to root for those that they believe are the underdog
Speaker 5: or the victim, regardless of righteousness.
Speaker 2: I mean, you probably should always root for the victims.
Speaker 2: It's also how they define victims. Well' the who gets
Speaker 2: to be a victim and therefore earn the sympathy that
Speaker 2: a victim, that a legitimate victim is due.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Hey, Boeing made an offer to these striking factory workers
Speaker 2: here on the West Coast, about thirty three thousand of them.
Speaker 2: They said, we will give you over four years, we
Speaker 2: will give you a thirty percent raise. We will also
Speaker 2: put back in place a performance bonus that we had
Speaker 2: taken away. And the union said, well, we need forty
Speaker 2: percent increase over four years, and also we want you
Speaker 2: to bring back the pension, the defined benefit pension program
Speaker 2: that we had. Defined benefit pension program means this is
Speaker 2: how much money you will get. You can count on it. It's
Speaker 2: a sure thing. And Boeing and so Boeing said, oh,
Speaker 2: you don't like what we offered, No, we don't really
Speaker 2: like what you offer. Well, then it's off the table.
Speaker 2: They've withdrawn their pay offer because the union didn't like
Speaker 2: it enough. And the union is saying Boeing's being unreasonable
Speaker 2: and refusing to really offer anything of substance. You know,
Speaker 2: with Boeing on all the troubles that they've had. I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel bad for the workers. I don't feel bad
Speaker 2: for Boeing as a corporation, and are we possibly a
Speaker 2: little gratified that maybe some of those planes and things
Speaker 2: that they've been making won't get made.
Speaker 4: For a while.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: I don't want them better off if though, if their
Speaker 2: products are not out and particularly up in the air.
Speaker 5: I don't want them to forget how to make them
Speaker 5: and then go back to work.
Speaker 2: No way, they should forget how they were making them
Speaker 2: and start all over. Maybe they should forget. They should
Speaker 2: forget how they were making them and then call air
Speaker 2: Bus and say, can you teach us how to make airplanes?
Speaker 4: We forgot?
Speaker 5: They should do it based on how many of their
Speaker 5: planes actually fly. That you get paid all for the
Speaker 5: planes that work. They'd be like, it'd be a meritocracy,
Speaker 5: and maybe they'd go, I will take the other offer.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 8: TikTok's more trouble. Fourteen attorneys general from across the country,
Speaker 8: including California, at filed lawsuits against TikTok, alleging the platform
Speaker 8: has addicted young people and harmed their mental health. TikTok
Speaker 8: has responded saying we strongly disagree with these claims. Many
Speaker 8: of which we believe to be inaccurate and misleading. They say,
Speaker 8: we are proud of and remain deeply committed to the
Speaker 8: work we've done to protect teens and will continue to
Speaker 8: update and improve our product.
Speaker 4: Okay, two realities.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're thoroughly damaging the mental health of teenagers, or
Speaker 2: the other reality is we are vastly improving the lives
Speaker 2: of teenagers.
Speaker 5: Well, one reality, two perspectives.
Speaker 3: I think that.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine. Oooh this next oh, Neil, this next story.
Speaker 5: All right, this is strange, but you kind of sort
Speaker 5: of understand. Lisa Marie Presley was devastated when her only
Speaker 5: son passed away at the age of twenty seven back
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty. She was so grieved that she kept
Speaker 5: the body of her son in the house instead of
Speaker 5: keeping him at the morgue, and they put him on
Speaker 5: dry ice so she could deal with the pain and
Speaker 5: till he was ready to, you know, buried.
Speaker 3: I don't think I understand this well.
Speaker 8: I know you're saying that she needed closure, but two
Speaker 8: months having the body on ice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, here's the reality. They're going to do
Speaker 5: the same thing if if he's in a morgue, just
Speaker 5: wanted the body close, and they knew it.
Speaker 2: Wasn't like she wasn't she Apparently she wasn't hiding the body.
Speaker 2: They knew, like whoever the authority or they told, they knew,
Speaker 2: and they said, hey, if you can, if you can
Speaker 2: do it, sure, go ahead and do it. Why those
Speaker 2: such a long time between the death and and a
Speaker 2: funeral or a burial or a cremation or whatever ultimately
Speaker 2: was going to happen.
Speaker 5: Always with you Hebrew folks, Why take so long to
Speaker 5: do the burial?
Speaker 4: That's right, It's fundamental tenet of Judaism.
Speaker 2: You get the body in the ground literally asap.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, it's weird. I just can only imagine
Speaker 5: somebody who's gone through so that whole family has gone
Speaker 5: through so much. I can't even imagine losing a child.
Speaker 5: So I don't know, but you know, just just in case,
Speaker 5: if you guys don't mind. On a personal note, Mom,
Speaker 5: if you're listening, just let it go. You don't don't
Speaker 5: put me on ice.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Your family is, particularly knowing your brother, they'll put
Speaker 2: you on ice and stick a swizzle stick in you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Craig. Craig will use it as part of a cocktail.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Craig is a very highly accomplished I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: what is the what is the high falutint term for
Speaker 2: a cocktail.
Speaker 4: Maker.
Speaker 2: There's a word, and for some reason it's escaping me.
Speaker 2: Oh you mean like mixologist or something. Yeah, mixologist, thank you.
Speaker 2: He's a highly highly skilled mixologist.
Speaker 5: Your brother. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The FBI has arrested Afghan man living here in the
Speaker 2: United States for allegedly plotting an attack on election Day, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, according to the news reports, after he
Speaker 2: was arrested, he told them that's what he was planning
Speaker 2: to do, and he had taken some steps to pull
Speaker 2: it off, including ordering Ak forty seven rifles.
Speaker 4: I missed those on Amazon. I didn't see them.
Speaker 2: He liquidated his family's assets, and then he bought them
Speaker 2: all one way tickets to go back to Afghanistan. That'll
Speaker 2: be ahead of whatever he yeah, whatever he had planned.
Speaker 2: Now the FBI, because they filed an affidavia to go
Speaker 2: with arresting him, they are not saying exactly how they
Speaker 2: became aware of this guy and what he was up to.
Speaker 2: They'll have to at some point, But now what that
Speaker 2: says to me is they're still investigating possible other people
Speaker 2: or they don't want to reveal the human intelligence source
Speaker 2: that was giving them the information.
Speaker 4: One or both of those.
Speaker 3: Well, ghost guns are a no go with the Supreme Court. Apparently,
Speaker 3: bang bang.
Speaker 7: The Supreme Court appears skeptical of a challenge to the
Speaker 7: Biden administration's efforts to regulate ghost guns, which don't have
Speaker 7: serial numbers on them, and they're weighing whether the Bureau
Speaker 7: of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms went too far when it took
Speaker 7: unilateral action to curb gun violence.
Speaker 2: The oral argument was really entertaining because of the analogies
Speaker 2: that the justices were using. You know, you have a
Speaker 2: Justice Alito who probably is going to say that the
Speaker 2: ATF cannot regulate them, and he said something like, hey, man,
Speaker 2: if you've got like a ham and a loaf of
Speaker 2: bread and lettuce on a table, is that a ham sandwich?
Speaker 2: You know, if you buy a kit with the parts
Speaker 2: to make a gun, is that the same thing as
Speaker 2: buying a gun? And then Amy Cony Barrett, who seems
Speaker 2: to be on the other side, said, okay, but what
Speaker 2: if you buy or maybe it was Alito that said
Speaker 2: if you have eggs, like if you have eggs and
Speaker 2: tomatoes and something on a table.
Speaker 4: Is that an omelet?
Speaker 2: And then Amy Connie Barrett said, but what if you
Speaker 2: order an omelet meal kit from like Hello Fresh or someplace.
Speaker 2: The only purpose of it is to make an omelet.
Speaker 2: There's no other reason, as opposed to just happening to
Speaker 2: have eggs and onions, tom whatever you put in an omelet.
Speaker 2: And so I thought that was really funny how they
Speaker 2: tried to find ways to explain what's going on. But
Speaker 2: we're going to talk more actually about those oral arguments
Speaker 2: at seven point thirty, but for now, I'll leave you
Speaker 2: with this. What do ghost guns shoot bullets?
Speaker 4: Boo oh?
Speaker 5: Handles back? He just entered the body of Wayne Resnik out.
Speaker 4: Or actually not out at all, because you know.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 4: Would you even know?
Speaker 5: Hey, Poody, it's me Donald Donald Trump has had seven
Speaker 5: private phone calls, apparently with Vladimir Putin since leaving office,
Speaker 5: and he secretly sent the Russian president a COVID nineteen
Speaker 5: test machine during the height of the pandemic. This all
Speaker 5: comes from a new book called War from Bob Woodward,
Speaker 5: of course, the famed Watergate reporter for the Washington Post,
Speaker 5: and apparently he as it goes down, Trump had asked
Speaker 5: aids or people around him to leave the room, and
Speaker 5: then he would call the dictator and they'd laugh it
Speaker 5: up chat I guess seven times outside of him being in.
Speaker 2: Office, which Trump's communications director Stephen Chung said, those are
Speaker 2: made up stories and none of it is true, and
Speaker 2: most of the media is treating these allegations in the
Speaker 2: book as unsubstantiated, which I think that's I think that's
Speaker 2: the best way to characterize. I'm not saying Bob woodwould
Speaker 2: have made anything up. I'm saying if it's one aid
Speaker 2: who told him or told somebody who told him about it,
Speaker 2: that might not be enough to go absolutely that's what happened.
Speaker 2: Although would you be shocked to find out that they
Speaker 2: had communications those.
Speaker 5: Two Oh, you know, at work, you meet people you
Speaker 5: connect with, and yeah, you stay in touch when you leave,
Speaker 5: you know, you that's totally true.
Speaker 2: I left the FEDS, I still have a weekly FaceTime
Speaker 2: sure with some of those people, So it's not it's
Speaker 2: not unusual.
Speaker 4: They must, you know, if you get along.
Speaker 2: The US budget deficit hit one point eight trillion dollars
Speaker 2: for fiscal year twenty twenty four. Don't believe me. That's
Speaker 2: from the Congressional Budget Office. I believe the previous fiscal
Speaker 2: year was one point seven trillions, so it did go
Speaker 2: up a little bit. And part of that is, you know,
Speaker 2: service on the national debt went way up because interest
Speaker 2: rates went up.
Speaker 8: Cutting more ties between North and South, North Korea's army
Speaker 8: says is going to take the substantial military step of
Speaker 8: completing or completely cutting off its territory from South Korea.
Speaker 8: A few months ago, North Korean leader Kim Jong un
Speaker 8: said that the remaining roads in rail railways, I always
Speaker 8: hate that word railways connected to the South would be
Speaker 8: completely cut, which would block access along the border. And
Speaker 8: since January, Pyongyang has fortified its border defenses. It has
Speaker 8: laid landmines, built up anti tank traps, and removed railway infrastructure.
Speaker 4: Because he's mad.
Speaker 2: He's mad that South Korea and the United States are
Speaker 2: working together strategically in military ways. But before this year,
Speaker 2: wasn't Kim Jong un on a on a tear for
Speaker 2: a while about let's have a peaceful reunification North and
Speaker 2: South Korea. Let's do what Germany, West Germany and East
Speaker 2: Germany did, and let's go back and meld back together peacefully.
Speaker 2: He was talking like that for a while, and then
Speaker 2: I guess what he wanted is for being so nice
Speaker 2: that South Korea would say to the United States, you
Speaker 2: don't need to worry you stay away, you know, we
Speaker 2: don't need you, because he's because he wants to get
Speaker 2: back together. And then I guess they started hanging out
Speaker 2: that South Korea and the United States.
Speaker 4: It's like when you when you're.
Speaker 2: Dating and then you break up, and then you have
Speaker 2: got the friend who's like, I hate your ex, and
Speaker 2: then later you're like, no, no, no, no, no, we're
Speaker 2: gonna we're probably getting back together, don't You don't have
Speaker 2: to do anything. But then they still are like, well,
Speaker 2: I hate your ex anyway, and then you get mad.
Speaker 2: It's not a perfect analogy. You're very sweet, and you're
Speaker 2: very sweet to nod your head like, oh yes, this
Speaker 2: is a great analogy.
Speaker 4: I know it's not the greatest.
Speaker 2: But my point is, I think Kim John Gunn was
Speaker 2: full of crap about a peaceful reunification, and I think
Speaker 2: he was saying those things because he thought maybe South
Speaker 2: Korea would stand down and that US would stand down
Speaker 2: in terms of moving against him, and then they're still
Speaker 2: moving against him, So why talk about reunited and it
Speaker 2: feels so good.
Speaker 4: If it's not gonna make your enemy go away?
Speaker 5: Is how we have to do with the the egg
Speaker 5: and the tomato being an omelet.
Speaker 4: That's ghost guns.
Speaker 5: Oh, this is more analogies flying right and left, and
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to catch up.
Speaker 2: Well, it's analogy Wednesdays here on KFI, as it has
Speaker 2: been as a rich tradition for the last thirty years.
Speaker 2: As you know, Neil, you know analogies are like.
Speaker 5: Vice President Kamala Harris just yesterday announced a plan for
Speaker 5: Medicare to cover long term care services at home. Of course,
Speaker 5: this is a problem that's growing and growing and growing
Speaker 5: increasingly acute in recent years because Baby Boomer generation, they're
Speaker 5: getting older. And this is going to cover possibly at
Speaker 5: home services only under narrow circumstances and on a short
Speaker 5: term basis.
Speaker 2: But it's an additional benefit, which means it's more expense,
Speaker 2: which means you need more money.
Speaker 5: I will print it. We're going to take it from
Speaker 5: the rich INDI.
Speaker 2: We can make a lot of money selling the pelts
Speaker 2: of Neutria which are invading the Bay Area. You may
Speaker 2: know them as swamp rats. You may have seen on
Speaker 2: a TV show or something. People in Louisiana in those
Speaker 2: like boats, in those little boats hunting Nutria because these
Speaker 2: are a rodent, and they are here's another analogy. Imagine
Speaker 2: a cat, Now imagine another cat. You have two cats,
Speaker 2: now put them together. Now you have a big ass cat.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the size of these Nutrio rodents.
Speaker 5: Oh they're creepy as hell. They're a horror movie.
Speaker 3: They sound like the r US's from the Princess Bride.
Speaker 2: Unusual size, yes, yes, So in any event, there really
Speaker 2: shouldn't be around here. We eradicated them here in California
Speaker 2: in the seventies, but then they found a population of
Speaker 2: them in the San Joaquin Valley and now they're all
Speaker 2: over the Bay Area again. And they can be damaging
Speaker 2: to your health, to the water supply, to live stock
Speaker 2: and all this stuff. And so they're classified as a
Speaker 2: non game mammal, which I believe means if they're on
Speaker 2: your property, you can kill them. As long as the
Speaker 2: method that you use to kill them is legal. You
Speaker 2: can kill them. You don't need a permit, you don't
Speaker 2: need a there's no quota or anything like that.
Speaker 4: These things are huge.
Speaker 3: They're not the size of a beaver.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're two feet long without their tail, not counting
Speaker 2: their tail. So all I'm saying is, stay up north.
Speaker 2: Let the north of California have them. We need them
Speaker 2: or want them. They are the potato bug of rodents,
Speaker 2: because look at it.
Speaker 5: Oh what the hell is that?
Speaker 2: Yes, most rodents, it's fine. A mouse, a rat, a hamster,
Speaker 2: it's fine. But then there's the one just like a bug,
Speaker 2: a small bug. I don't get wigged out. You see
Speaker 2: a potato bug? Yeah, aka Jerusalem cricket.
Speaker 5: That thing is uh okay.
Speaker 2: Well what a what a happy way to end the
Speaker 2: show with the thoughts of big, giant, disgusting rodents nibbling
Speaker 2: at your ankles.
Speaker 3: Oh can we end it on a happy note?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 8: Well, you know how we all go right from Halloween
Speaker 8: to Christmas? I mean, Costco's already into Christmas loans and stuff.
Speaker 8: They've already made the transition. Well, now Spirit is doing it,
Speaker 8: you know, Spirit Halloween stores. Now they're gonna have Spirit
Speaker 8: Holiday stores, Christmas Spirit Christmas stores.
Speaker 5: That'd be funny. All the elves have thangs and everything,
Speaker 5: and they're just like they just repainted the stuff that
Speaker 5: was in there before.
Speaker 8: And no they're gonna have life stized gingerbread villages, gifts,
Speaker 8: decorations inflatables.
Speaker 5: And kids are going to go missing when they go
Speaker 5: visit shopping there.
Speaker 2: Okay, wow, okay, hey, did you know they're owned by
Speaker 2: Spencer Gifts?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: Really? Yeah, you mean I could have my my demon personalized?
Speaker 2: You can get it so you you'll be able to
Speaker 2: get like a big, a big ghost thing to put
Speaker 2: in your house, and then you'll be able to get
Speaker 2: a big Santa Claus to put in your house. You'll
Speaker 2: also be able to get a lava lamp and a dildo.
Speaker 5: Could I get that personalized?
Speaker 2: You have not been in the Spencer Gifts in a
Speaker 2: long time, I'm assuming, Neil.
Speaker 5: Isn't that the place where they used to like personalize it.
Speaker 5: It was like choch keys and then they know you're.
Speaker 4: Thinking of things, rememberment.
Speaker 2: Oh, very different store, very different. Probably they should not
Speaker 2: even be in the same mall, these two stores.
Speaker 8: Okay, but it wouldn't be funny if you did have
Speaker 8: the personalization of the Spencer's products that you just mentioned,
Speaker 8: and you engraved them as Neil just mentioned.
Speaker 4: Yes, just some to think about.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you don't want a house full of monogram.
