There's a lot of bomb bast in what 3 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.879 Trump does. We are not going to buy Greenland, we 4 00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.920 are not going to have Canada as our fifty first state. 5 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.800 We are not going to take over the Panama Canal. 6 00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.679 But is it going to change? You got the ultra wealthy. 7 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.399 You bet they're going to do better. It's a different philosophy. 8 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.159 We elect Democrats who are super liberal, and now we 9 00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.640 elected a Republican who's not you know, Welcome to America 10 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.439 and now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's 11 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:47.600 Bill Handle. All right, good morning everybody. It is Friday, 12 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.039 January seventeenth, is a foody Friday without the foodie part. 13 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.439 Neil is still under the weather and he is not 14 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.640 joining us today and he will be here on Monday. 15 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.560 So Neil has a couple of choices. He can come 16 00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.040 or he can die, and we'll see which one. It 17 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.079 is a matter of fact, you know, we ought to do. 18 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.560 We ought to do like a football pool. Alive or 19 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.599 not alive. Let's not that is the question. And what 20 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.319 odds ooh odds that Neil comes in or Neil survives 21 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.599 the weekend. You know, God, can you imagine, God forbid 22 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.200 if NEO actually did. 23 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.640 Tank, you might actually feel bad for a few minutes a. 24 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:39.319 Few yeah, during when nine to eleven hit and it 25 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.159 was six o'clock in the morning. When the first was 26 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.200 it six o'clock or five o'clock I remember because we 27 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.000 started at five o'clock in the morning. But anyway, I 28 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.239 was broadcasting live as we do. And when the airplanes 29 00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.439 hit the first tour we were watching it a few 30 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.920 minutes that was we didn't see it live, but people 31 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.200 were recording it and we got it a few minutes 32 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.959 later as major news outlets. We're releasing that. And then 33 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.719 forty five minutes later when the second plane hit Tower 34 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.879 number two, we were watching and it was live, and man, 35 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:19.800 what a day that was. Now, Rich Murata was our 36 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.400 Wayne Resnik, and he was our at Neil Savadra and 37 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.520 Rich Murad a very interesting guy and he was a 38 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.199 sports guy, so we we'd do sports, which we gave 39 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.759 up when Rich left. Rich that morning before the planes hit. 40 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:39.479 Based on what he said, we were talking about Kama 41 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:45.199 Kazi pilots during World War Two. I mean, you talk 42 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.599 about if you listen to the tape, which we play 43 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.960 every year two years. At the nine to eleven we 44 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.039 edited down, so it's about I don't know, ten minutes, 45 00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:58.800 eleven minutes, you'll hear the conversation about Kamakazi pilots and 46 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:02.840 then you know, half an hour later, really strange. So 47 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:05.400 I don't know where I went with that. By the way, 48 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.599 it was a complete digression. Where were we before I 49 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.800 lost track? Which I do on the Dying Neil Dying 50 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:19.199 nine to eleven. Yeah, and we're taking odds horrible if 51 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.560 okay got it anyway, Good morning everybody. Let's start with 52 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.039 Kno Good morning, Cono, good morning, Bill, and and good morning, 53 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:39.080 good morning, and Neil those I'm dying and Neil okay 54 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.719 excellent and Amy, Hi, Bill, good morning. We started off 55 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.479 on a wonderful note this morning, and it will be 56 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.000 just Amy and Moua this morning like we did yesterday, 57 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.759 the two of us handling the show, with Cono throwing 58 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.080 in the music and and telling him you what to 59 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.000 do because she's the produce, and throwing my name up 60 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.759 on the board. This is your name, Bill because otherwise 61 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.560 I get confused, and tell and tells me what the 62 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.400 next segment is and I blow that one too. Basically, Yeah, 63 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.160 that's how we do it. Okay. It is a Friday, 64 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:20.519 January seventeen, and we go right into handle on the 65 00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:27.519 news with Amy, the hopefully alive Neil and me late 66 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:34.560 story cease fire. Well, got it. Ceasefire came into being. 67 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:35.959 I thought it wasn't gonna happen. I thought it was 68 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.560 gonna be delayed. But the deal has been closed. Now 69 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:44.279 was this going to Basically, is this the death knell 70 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.680 for the Natanyahu government? Maybe maybe we'll talk about more. 71 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.959 Is what's happening over the next week two weeks. But 72 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.879 here's how it works. And Amy and I were talking 73 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:59.439 about it. In Israel, it's very strange as to how 74 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:04.480 the government works. The prime minister is not the commander 75 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.920 in chief. He is not. He cannot make the decisions 76 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:15.519 like our president, who can send troops, who can send 77 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.879 troops and begin conflicts or respond to conflicts. The Prime 78 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:24.800 Minister of Israel has to go to, in this case, 79 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.759 a war cabinet, which is comprised of people who are 80 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.560 insanely in favor of war and some who are not, 81 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.279 some who don't believe in a Palestinian state at all, 82 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.759 some who are basically strong beliefs in the Palace, a 83 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.040 two state solution, and this is how the government is 84 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.600 put together. It's hard to get a government in Israel. 85 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:56.199 And so instead of the prime minister in Natagnana who's saying, okay, fine, 86 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.560 I'm signing the peace treaty, I can do it just 87 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.040 simply by declaration. It goes to the war cabinet, and 88 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.800 then it goes to the fold cabinet that has to vote. 89 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.199 It's a really weird way of doing it. And then 90 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:17.600 the cabinet does not work for Netanyahu. It's really not 91 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.800 his people. It's not like our presidency where the president 92 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.680 chooses a cabinet. The cabinet members are heads of parties 93 00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:29.639 that are elected by their own constituents, and some are 94 00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:34.720 completely diametric, diametrically opposed to the government being but they 95 00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.079 join the government and they'll ask things like okay, will 96 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.600 join and allow you to be the prime minister, but 97 00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:46.079 I want defense, will take defence, or will take housing 98 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:51.720 dealing with the Palestinians. So they cobble together these governments, 99 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:56.399 you know, for example, the supernationalistic there's some very nationalistic 100 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.160 super kosher parties. Some are political and some are just 101 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.079 straight we don't care about any politics. We want the 102 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.199 world to be kosher. That's all we care about Jewish laws, 103 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.040 which is why, as I said yesterday, there are It 104 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.959 used to be you couldn't go to a hotel that 105 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:22.240 wasn't kosher in Israel, couldn't do it strict. It's looser now. Oh, 106 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:26.199 there's another story I'll tell you about all airlines. I'm digressing, 107 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.959 but I'm just having too good a time and explaining this. 108 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.439 And I had one of my best friends who flew 109 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.360 for the IDF. You flew fighter planes and then you 110 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.560 retire and went to l All airlines as a pilot, 111 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.519 and a lot of them do that. And the law 112 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:45.399 is you can't work or fly on Friday night. Friday 113 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:52.720 night Shabbat, the Sabbath, everything stops. So every airplane in 114 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.279 the el Al fleet had to be on the ground 115 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.439 by sunset anywhere in the world they had the land 116 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.759 and could not fly again until the fall the next 117 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:09.560 evening Saturday night. So okay, what did they do. They 118 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:16.160 created another airline that leased the airplanes from el All 119 00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.000 had their own pilots, which happened to be l Al 120 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:25.560 pilots and had different uniforms and flew for this other 121 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:29.480 airline that could fly on Friday. This is how crazy 122 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:35.200 those laws were because of the super religious parties. And 123 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.000 then it got to the point they got so tired 124 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:41.200 of changing uniforms that it's only it was only the 125 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.720 name tag in the name of the airline. So on 126 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:46.759 Friday night they just tamed the airline. You have the 127 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.080 least airplane that they're flying, and then on Saturday night 128 00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:54.519 they go back to La crazy crazy making. Okay, I 129 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.120 know I digressed on that one, but that I purposely digressed. 130 00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:01.399 That was not me losing my placeholder. Here. We are 131 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.639 going to come back and we'll continue on. Amy. You're 132 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:07.000 giving me a look, Yeah, it's sort of this. I'm 133 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.200 doing a lot more than just news on that one. 134 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.279 I was doing. I was doing a lot of splain 135 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:12.120 in Lucy. No. 136 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.799 I think it's it's actually fascinating one that you know 137 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.440 all of that and that things, you know, to see 138 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:20.600 how other governments run and don't run, and that kind 139 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:20.919 of stuff. 140 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.559 I mean, it's just I think it's interesting. 141 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.919 Yeah, it is, well, I find I find it fascinating. 142 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.120 I mean that's me, you know, that's my wheelhouse. Okay, 143 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.000 let's go ahead. And take a break, and we're going 144 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:32.039 to come back and actually go through the news. By 145 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.279 the way, ceasefires in place. That was the headline, and 146 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.679 the hostages are going to start being returned probably next week. 147 00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.720 They're saying it could happen as soon as Sunday, okay, 148 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.120 at least the start of it. 149 00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.759 And it's thirty six I believe, thirty three or thirty 150 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:52.679 six hostages to exchange for fifteen hundred Palestinian prisoners. And 151 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.840 that's another thing that a lot of Israelis are bitching at. Legitimately, 152 00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.679 these a lot of these prisoners are terrorists. They have 153 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.519 killed Jews, they have killed Israelis, and they're being released 154 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.840 sin war. You know, the guy who was killed the 155 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.480 head of the guysa government to get Hamas was in 156 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.279 prison for twenty years in Israel and was released in 157 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:22.000 imprison prisoner exchange and then came back to excuse me, 158 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.159 had the government and was the mastermind of the October 159 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:26.759 seventh attack. 160 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.000 All right, Amy, the TikTok deathwatch is on. 161 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:35.279 The White House is looking into options they say might 162 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.559 keep TikTok accessible to you know, one hundred and seventy 163 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.840 million people in the US who use it, but if 164 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.399 they can't find an option, the ban is set to 165 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.519 go into effect Sunday. But White House officials say the 166 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.159 problem is even though Biden doesn't want to enforce the ban, 167 00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:56.759 they don't think he has the authority to defer enforcement 168 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.840 of the law he signed in April that hired the 169 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.840 parent company of TikTok, Byte Dance, to sell it before 170 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.120 the January nineteenth dead or. 171 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.080 Shut it down, which they haven't done. And the politics 172 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.240 of this one is so weird because you have major 173 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.879 political figures as well as President Trump, who hated TikTok, 174 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:23.039 wanted it gone, pushed for it to be either sold 175 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.639 or shut down in the United States, and now it's 176 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.320 changed his mind, as have both And by the way, 177 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.399 both sides, both Republicans and Democrats in Congress have turned 178 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.600 around and said no, no, we like byte Dance, We 179 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.000 like TikTok, even though it's owned by byt Dance, a 180 00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:44.480 Chinese company that has connections with the Chinese government, which 181 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.360 means that they can get information from us because any 182 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.360 of these apps know everything about us and what interesting 183 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.039 sidelights story here The reason that Trump and he said 184 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.799 I have a warm place for TikTok. TikTok was a 185 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.039 fairly big fan in him getting elected because he got 186 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.799 so many utes, he got so many young people in 187 00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.200 a major way. And you know who made him who 188 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:15.159 made that happen, his son Baron, who said to him, 189 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.080 you have to use social media to go after people 190 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:23.039 like me. An eighteen year old kid, gave him better 191 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:28.519 advice than all of his advisors. So it's really this 192 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:30.399 TikTok story is just weird. 193 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:38.000 Don't mess with California. That's the word from California Attorney 194 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.559 General Rob Bonta. He says the hammer will come down 195 00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:44.879 on those who try to take advantage of the victims 196 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.120 of the wildfires in La County. He was on KTLA 197 00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.639 yesterday morning and he announced a task force being created 198 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:56.559 by his office, which will put more resources toward investigating 199 00:12:57.080 --> 00:13:01.679 things from looting to arson, to theft, to scams, to 200 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.240 flying drones illegally in the wildfire areas. 201 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.799 So if you decide to loot and you take less 202 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:13.759 than nine hundred and fifty dollars, it's a misdemeanor. Now, 203 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.159 I don't think looting is in the new I don't 204 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:22.399 think the new laws that make it tougher for smashing grabs, 205 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:24.879 but I think under is still correct. Me if I'm 206 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.200 wrong on that, Amy Under nine hundred and fifty dollars. 207 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.360 Didn't the new law that passed revise that. 208 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:32.639 I don't think in terms of money. It's just the 209 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:39.639 second conviction is or the third conviction that ends up 210 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:45.759 being a felony. I'm good and ends looking that up 211 00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:47.879 and you're looking that up. I think I have that right. 212 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.639 Okay, like a good neighbor, State Farm won't be there. 213 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.320 State Farm has decided to pull its Super Bowl commercial. 214 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.200 They say they want to focus firmly on support to 215 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:04.960 the people of Los Angeles. Last Super Bowl they ran 216 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.799 the commercials that started Arnold Schwarzenegger. 217 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:09.799 I can't say it. 218 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.919 Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito and it was USA Today's 219 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:17.639 Annual Popularity Contest number one spot. 220 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:22.000 And that makes sense on a pr level that you 221 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.399 have State Farm that is bounced back and forth. Let's 222 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.200 see if I'm right on that. Califer proposed making looting 223 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.600 during emergency of felony. It is not a felony, and 224 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.399 they should make it. If they should make it, twenty 225 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.000 five years to life on looting. So in any case, 226 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:38.240 State Farm saying we're not going to do a Super 227 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.000 Bowl commercial. And it makes all it makes a lot 228 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:42.480 of sense. 229 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.200 I like the State Farm guy. Do you know who 230 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:48.600 that is? Is that familiar with you? 231 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.519 The State Farm? No, he's yeah, the guy E. J. Rowlings. 232 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:54.879 Is that who it is? Or is it the other guy? You? 233 00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:58.120 No, it's the younger guy. He's really cute. 234 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.440 Oh yeah, I can't remember. Yeah, he's an actor and 235 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:03.679 woit what a gig he has? 236 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:08.759 I know, right, Okay, A lot of convicts now love 237 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.519 Joe Biden. Biden has pardoned nearly twenty five hundred non 238 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.240 violent drug offenders, and with these latest commutations, he has 239 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:25.399 now pardoned more people than anybody in presidential history. He 240 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.519 says that these twenty five hundred were serving disproportionately long 241 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:32.799 sentences compared to the sentences they would get today under 242 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.840 current law, policy and practice. 243 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:35.639 Which is absolutely true. 244 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:35.919 Yeah. 245 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.679 Remember the laws crack cocaine, for example, I got you 246 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:43.480 ten years, where power cocaine you would get three years. 247 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.759 And it made no sense, no sense at all. And 248 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:53.799 Blacks were disproportionately nailed because for some reason, African Americans 249 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.600 liked crack cocaine more than powder cocaine. I've never been 250 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.000 able to figure that out. And the laws were crazy Texas. 251 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.720 At one time. You got caught with one joint and 252 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.679 you would do years in prison. And Texas governors do 253 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:13.679 not tend to pardon criminals. So Biden said, it's just 254 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:18.639 not fair. These are non violent drug offenses, personal use. 255 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:22.159 I'm not going to keep them in jail. That makes sense. 256 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.000 Keeping cops in line La County, New DA. Nathan Hockman 257 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.559 has hired a special prosecutor for cases of police misconduct. 258 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:40.000 He had fired George Gascone's special prosecutor, who was appointed 259 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.480 shortly after he took office last month. 260 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:45.879 The new guy is Michael Jenaco. He will be the 261 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.399 man tasked with prosecuting law enforcement officers who are accused 262 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.840 of misconduct, including police shootings. 263 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.840 And that's right. I think that's appropriate because as soon 264 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:59.120 as there is a police shooting and the authorities get involved, 265 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.559 I think there's a conflict of interest that minute, and 266 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:08.720 you go to special prosecutor that is completely independent and 267 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.319 that doesn't have any skin in the game at all. 268 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:17.039 Millions will be chilling in the US. Bone chilling temperatures 269 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.319 are developing across much of the United States forecasters say 270 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.799 basically anywhere from the Rockies east will see below normal 271 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.160 temperatures over the next several days, some of them minus 272 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.480 thirty to as low as minus forty or minus fifty 273 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:34.480 by this weekend. 274 00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:38.039 Yeah, that's the index. I mean, it's not the actual temperature. 275 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.440 It feels like, right, it's the wind chills. 276 00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.200 Yeah, but if you hit minus thirty wind chill factor, 277 00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.640 it is still really cold. What is it? Ten degrees 278 00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.559 a difference between actual temperature and the wind shill. 279 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.440 Well, it depends on how fast the winds are blown. 280 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.279 And all that stuff. But I mean it is crazy. 281 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.039 I used to live in Colorado. It gets cold when 282 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.480 those wind shills dipped out on that low. 283 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.720 I mean it's I mean, this is scary stuff. This 284 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:05.799 is dangerous. You go outside for ten minutes exposed skin, 285 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:07.240 frostbite hits. 286 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.640 Well, they're saying the inauguration on Monday in Washington, DC 287 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.559 is going to be the coldest in years and years. 288 00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:20.759 I think twenty degrees actual temperature. I read that, don't know, Yeah, 289 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.599 I think it is. I think it's twenty degrees so 290 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.839 and this polar vortex, I mean, you tell me about 291 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.559 climate change. I mean it is hitting us so hard, 292 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:35.599 and scientists are still saying climatologists are still saying, we 293 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:40.079 haven't hit critical mass yet, where we can't. We are 294 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:44.359 only trying to slow down the climate change, slow down 295 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.599 the temperature of the Earth, which last year was the 296 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.720 hottest ever, and this year is going to be the 297 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.960 hottest ever if the last three four years it has 298 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.599 been the hottest ever. This is crazy stuff. I mean, 299 00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.240 we've hit critical mass. I mean it's over now. Just 300 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.359 get really warm clothes or buy a lot of sunscreen 301 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.319 and bathing suits, depending on where you are in this country. 302 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:16.160 Time to make Hollywood great again.

Most Americans are going to be 348 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.480 focusing on getting tax documents together in the next few months, 349 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.680 But if you buy or sell digital assets like bitcoin, 350 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.160 twenty five will mark the first texture that your crypto 351 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.279 transactions will be subject to third party reporting requirements.
