WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:04.759 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:15.919 six forty and now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, 3 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.239 here's not Bill Handle. Oh you flatter me. KFI AM 4 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:26.160 six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning 5 00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:31.120 to you, Happy Monday. It is Memorial Day where we 6 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:38.359 memorialize and think about those that have died for our freedom. 7 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.359 You know, I talked about this on the Fork Report 8 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.399 on Saturday, and I know that it sounds so I 9 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.479 don't know pandering, I don't even know the right word. 10 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:53.799 But the reality is the reason why we celebrate, we 11 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.759 get to have, you know, good times with our family, 12 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:02.399 which we should do, is because somebody has given their life. 13 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.719 And in addition to that, the families of those people 14 00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.599 that are still alive or outlived their family member that 15 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.799 gave their lives are sacrificing on the daily and there's 16 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.159 power in that. So when people say, you know, it's 17 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.920 is it somber? I don't think it needs to be somber, 18 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.319 because the whole point when somebody gives their life for us, 19 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.840 it's I want you to live. I don't want you 20 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.239 to mourn me for the whole time. So it's this 21 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.159 weird balance of the joy of being alive and enjoying 22 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:44.000 our freed freedoms here in the United States and the 23 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.640 payment that it took. So my hope in my prayer 24 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:52.319 today is that we are thoughtful about those that gave 25 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:56.599 that sacrifice, but we're also enjoying ourselves in honor of 26 00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:02.840 that sacrifice. It's not modeling or it's about, hey, we 27 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.480 this has been paid for that we need to enjoy 28 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.360 it and to connect with each other. So whatever you 29 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.759 might be doing today, I sure appreciate you taking the 30 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.039 time to pop in here. I was listening to Amy 31 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.919 King and the wake Up Call today. Good morning Amy. Hello, 32 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:24.080 So that was interesting. You're talking about Gwen and I mean, 33 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.759 that guy's just a genius anyways, he's just Kurtis Stone, Yeah, 34 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.960 he is. Chef Stone is an incredibly talented guy. I'm 35 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.120 trying to figure out and I only heard bits and 36 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.919 pieces and it's not the first time I've heard it, right, Hello, 37 00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.960 it's not the first time I heard that, right, Okay, 38 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.840 Hey listen, nobody nobody in radio right now is live 39 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.520 except us, So it's all right, exactly. 40 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.719 This was an out and about segment. In fact, if 41 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.080 you want to watch the whole thing. You can see it. 42 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.479 It's on my Instagram at Amy K King. 43 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.560 Awesome. Yeah, I encourage people to do that. So I'm 44 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.560 trying to process. I only heard the little bits of 45 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.199 it this time. Process Why you would let it rest? 46 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.840 You were saying that he would put the steak in 47 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.000 a lower temperature. I'm going to guess it was indirect heating. 48 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.759 Indirect heating means it was over an open flame. 49 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.080 Over an open flame, that's the only way he cooks it. 50 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.479 Oh, that makes more sense. 51 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.400 So he says, get the meat, which he had. It 52 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:29.520 was a New York strip steak. 53 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.360 Uh huh. 54 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.919 Up to room temperature? No, yeah, no, he said, I know. 55 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.199 They all said season it. 56 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.599 They all say that. Let me tell you something about this, 57 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.400 and there was a science done this. It drives me nuts. 58 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.159 All chefs say this, get up to room temperature. To 59 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.400 get a steak up to room temperature is to leave 60 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:54.240 a steak out, for a raw steak out for longer 61 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.479 than two hours, which makes it bad. 62 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.240 But you encourage can have this conversation. 63 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.800 They did this whole study on it, and I don't know. 64 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.639 It's one of those things that chefs still say now 65 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:12.120 you can if you take a steak and I you know, 66 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.120 don't waste steak. But if you take a steak out 67 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.120 of your refrigerator, out of refrigeration, and you put it 68 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:23.720 at room temperature, which is about seventy one degrees, and 69 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.800 you wait for that steak at let's say thirty five degrees, 70 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.360 come to seventy one degrees, I guarantee in two hours 71 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.480 it may be dropped by ten degrees. Maybe. I don't 72 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.120 know why chefs say this. They all say it, all 73 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.839 of them say it. But you can't do it. You 74 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.959 cannot do that. Take a steak and try it. Well. 75 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.439 I had one of my friend's brother's sister whatever is 76 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:54.199 a butcher, and. 77 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:54.959 She did the same thing. 78 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:57.800 What take it out? 79 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.199 Yeah, she was all about getting it up to Yeah. 80 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.839 They all do it, they take it out. 81 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.959 Oh, there's got to be a reason everybody does it, Neil. 82 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:10.360 No, I'm telling you something. It. The theory behind it 83 00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:17.560 is this that heat, when you're using heat, like direct heat, 84 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:23.000 the heat has to push through whatever you're cooking to 85 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.480 get to the center. That's why a medium rare steak 86 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.680 is not medium rare the whole way through. That's why 87 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.800 they say it's a warm, pink center because the whole 88 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.560 steak is going to be gradations of dunness because that 89 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:42.600 heat has to travel into the center. The problem is 90 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.439 that the battle between cold and hot. You know, heat 91 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.279 is something. Cold is not cold is the absence of heat. 92 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.240 Heat is actually something. So the heat has to push 93 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.519 into that cold steak and battle with it for temperature. 94 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.639 The thought behind it is if you make it seventy 95 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.480 one degrees, then the battle is less, so it's going 96 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.959 to be more evenly cooked. I'm saying scientifically. The folks. 97 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:16.959 Kenji Lopez Alt, who is a food scientist, tested this 98 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.759 theory a bunch of times and never could get it 99 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.439 to room temperature without it going bad first. 100 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.839 And is he an award winning chef. 101 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.480 Yes, actually he is a massive award he is the 102 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:38.720 Here's the thing. Chefs are taught by apprentice style. Apprentice 103 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.439 style is due as I do, and don't question. That's 104 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:48.439 why the reverse seer came much later, and chefs still 105 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.439 to this day will say things like, it's sears in 106 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.319 the juices. You cannot sear in juices. It is impossible. 107 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.600 You can't do it. It's scientifically impossible. And yet I hear. 108 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.720 I hear pitmasters, and I hear chefs do it all 109 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:12.279 the time, because chefs are not scientists, so the science 110 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.160 says it can't be done. I have to lean on that. 111 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.160 So I hear stuff like that all the time. But 112 00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.360 if you take a twelve ounce steak that's an inch thick, 113 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.560 and you put it out from a thirty five degree 114 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:32.680 refrigerator on your counter for two hours, it will not 115 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.800 hit seventy one degrees and it will be bad because 116 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:43.199 having raw meat out at seventy one degrees room temperature 117 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.959 for two hours makes the bacteria double every twenty minutes. 118 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:57.439 That's science, that's skians, that's skiants man, all right. 119 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.759 Okay, so Curtis Stone says, bring it up to near 120 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.720 temperature and then cook it on the grill, right, cook 121 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:08.000 it on the grill. No oven, no pan searing, none 122 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:11.399 of that on the grill. But in between the grilling, 123 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.839 you rest it for a few minutes, and then you 124 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.240 put it back on and then you rest it for 125 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.040 a few minutes. And you'll have to go back and 126 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.240 listen to the interview to find out why he says that. 127 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.879 But boy, that steak that he cooked for me was 128 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:25.480 the best steak I've ever had. 129 00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.199 It was amazing. 130 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.160 I have no doubt he is known for his cooking. 131 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.919 I'm just saying that you're not getting that steak up 132 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:33.840 to seventy one degrees. 133 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.200 Maybe it was a sixty eight. 134 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.399 Who knows sixty eight degrees. Maybe it was a general rule. 135 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.960 Maybe he's saying take it out early. 136 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.120 And then the other thing they let I hear all 137 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.120 the one a little bit is they say let it rest. 138 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.840 You go for what for five minutes. 139 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:49.480 After it's done. 140 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.480 I think that heat was talking about how you don't 141 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.600 need to rest the steaks the way that you cook them, 142 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:54.759 the way that he cooks them. 143 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.960 No, because he gets it up to high heat. It 144 00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.440 sounds like he's getting it up to high heat, first 145 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.080 taking it to let it cool down, and then searing 146 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.240 it off because he's only putting on for a couple 147 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:05.519 of minutes at the end, right. 148 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:08.799 Fat side down. Fact you have to go about. You 149 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:10.840 have to go back and listen to it. It's really interesting. 150 00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:13.360 You'll have to go back and listen. 151 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.679 He's putting it sideways a New York steak. 152 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.279 He cooked it on all four sides. I watched him. 153 00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:24.480 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I sleep fat side down. 154 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.799 When we come back, we're gonna have some news for 155 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:33.679 your promise. Hey, Cono, feel a little triggered there, Neil, Yeah, 156 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.759 it drives me nuts. Like the best chefs in the 157 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.840 world say some stupid things, and I'm like, why why 158 00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.120 do we still say it sears in the juices and 159 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.720 let it come to room temp or let it rest 160 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.799 for five minutes. You know what the science is. Let 161 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.960 it rest until it's one hundred and twenty degrees then 162 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:56.519 cut it. But he's never getting it above. Oh boy, 163 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.000 I'm going back to my grill and how are you. 164 00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:12.720 I'm doing great. This is fun. It's a whole different start. 165 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.960 Ruined my whole Memorial Day. Let it get to room 166 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:20.159 tempt yourself to room temp. All right, let's start some 167 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:27.279 handle on the news lead story, all right. US Attorney 168 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:32.879 Bill helped me with this. Samy announced this week a 169 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.879 pilot program that he dubbed you gotta love this Operation 170 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.600 Guardian Angel. And this is intended to neutralize a sanctuary 171 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.559 state laws. So the office identifies individuals with you know, 172 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.840 criminal records and all that who've been deported and charges 173 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.679 them with illegally re entering the United States and doing 174 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.759 it as a federal crime. I don't think I have 175 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:59.279 a problem with that, right what would be the I 176 00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.879 don't understand sanctuary cities in that set. I mean, take 177 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.960 care of people. I don't think you need to be 178 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:08.240 nasty to people, but I don't understand what that is. 179 00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.159 Trump threatens tariffs, then pulls them right back off the 180 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:17.120 table for now. As you may recall, President Trump on 181 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:20.360 Friday said, hey, you know what, let's put fifty percent 182 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:23.720 tariffs on the European Union because a deal isn't coming 183 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:28.240 together like I want. So then the stock markets and 184 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.559 everybody freaked out. And then on Sunday he said, let's 185 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:36.360 extend that. So instead of starting June first, these tariffs 186 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:40.720 will apparently be delayed until July ninth. The President says 187 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.600 it came after he talked to the president of the 188 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:49.519 European Communion Communion European Commission. He says they requested an extension. 189 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.879 I agreed to it, and the European Union president vander 190 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.320 Lyon said she had a good call with Trump. She 191 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.039 said Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively. 192 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.000 Didn't you say, like you know, every time there's no 193 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.759 deal is he just playing around. Is he just pushing 194 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:10.720 his cards forward and then pulling them back, pushing them 195 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.000 forward and pulling them back. 196 00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:15.200 It's to force people's hands, I think, yeah. 197 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.200 I agree that. I agree that. 198 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.720 The thread of tariffs, I think is getting people to 199 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.879 the table and then he backs off while they negotiate, 200 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:24.759 and then if things aren't moving forward, then he goes, 201 00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.240 you know what, nothing's happening. We're going to threaten those 202 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.360 tariffs again. And that's what it sounds like to me. 203 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:33.039 I agree. And there was also a gosh, there was 204 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.159 a story that we talked about, I think last Friday 205 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:42.000 with Bill where it was Craft that is putting three 206 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.519 billion dollars back into their factories here in the US 207 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.759 to bring more of that, and I think those little things. 208 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.039 I was talking with Anne off the air that if 209 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:55.600 we get twenty five percent more, I mean, I don't 210 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.679 there's no way we're going to get everything that Trump wants, 211 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.639 But if we just get twenty five or something more, 212 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.960 I'd be good. I would be totally. I think that 213 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.399 was a win, you know, just a little bit more 214 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.799 back in the US. I'm not saying we're gonna fire up, 215 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.799 you know, Detroit again, but just a little bit more. 216 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:16.799 I think what could be a win. Fifth anniversary or 217 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:23.879 of George Floyd's murder was not celebrated, but many took 218 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:30.679 to memorializing the fifth anniversary. Even here in Los Angeles, 219 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.120 people met around. I think it was targets. Did you 220 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.720 hear that or see any of that? Yesterday? Amy? Not 221 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.200 yesterday but Saturday? Or was it would have been yesterday? Sorry, 222 00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.399 where they had gathered at many of the targets and 223 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.639 stuff like that, apparently because of DEI stuff going on there. 224 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.559 But what does that have to do with George Floyd. Well, 225 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:59.639 it's all tied together, is how. Here's activism. I don't 226 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:05.519 trust anything that by its very definition, it's like the pharmaceuticals. Yeah, 227 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.000 they got a pill for everything and a cure for nothing. 228 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.159 So it's like that's how I feel about activism. It's like, 229 00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.639 if it cured, these people would be out of a job. 230 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.720 So you have police reform and civil rights activists that 231 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.840 are joining thousands of people on Sunday marking the fifth 232 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:30.399 anniversary of George Floyd's murder and being concerned about Trump 233 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:34.879 Trump Administration's actions that they say have set all this back, 234 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.120 all their efforts back decades, and of course you got 235 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:42.200 the Reverend now Sharpton, who still looks odd after the 236 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.440 weight loss surgery and the hair. It's like trim the 237 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:50.000 back of the hair. He said at a Houston Gravesite 238 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.399 service that Floyd represented all those who are defenseless against 239 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.720 the people who thought they could put their knee on 240 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:06.039 our neck. He continued to liken it to Emmett Till, 241 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.480 fourteen year old black boy who was abducted and lynched 242 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:11.399 in Mississippi in nineteen fifty five. 243 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:13.039 I think that's a false equivalent. 244 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.399 Yeah, it's a look at you pulling the the informal 245 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:21.519 logical fallacies out amy, stop it. Do you know the Latin? No? Okay, 246 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.879 but yeah, I thought that was It's like one of 247 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.000 those jumps to Hitler in an argument. 248 00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:35.279 A mob of vandals is trashed downtown LA. Several businesses, 249 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.879 metro trains, and even a police vehicle vandalized and what 250 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.159 turned out to be a rather chaotic scene in downtown 251 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.399 LA over the weekend. It happened just after midnight Saturday, 252 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.399 so early early Sunday morning, LAPD got a call about 253 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.399 a large group disturbance. It was about three hundred people 254 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.639 who were up partying on a rooftop at what appeared 255 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.759 to be an abandoned building. 256 00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:57.519 What can go wrong? 257 00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:02.559 Right, So then they hit to this, they hit the streets. 258 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.320 Officers tried to break up the crowd using rubber bulleps. 259 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:12.360 They issued several warnings, they were ignored. There were illegal fireworks, 260 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.440 drug use, public drinking, and a whole lot of graffiti 261 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.000 and metros is about fifty people even blocked two A 262 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.200 line trains and then got into one of the trains 263 00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.759 and started spray painting it up and it interrupted Metro 264 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:31.360 service for a time. Nobody was hurt and no arrests 265 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:32.720 were made. 266 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:40.039 Cono, fireworks, graffiti, the what are the odds there are 267 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:46.639 people I'm just saying, man, very likely, yeah, Amy, What 268 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:48.840 was the Why were they gathered at all? Was there 269 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:54.240 any reason for them being in a three hundred person group. 270 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.039 It was an unpermitted rooftop event at what appeared to 271 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.240 be an an abandoned building. 272 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.720 Now that makes a little bit of sense. They were partying. 273 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.680 It was just a party, and they ended up lea 274 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.119 because I was like, what was going on? This doesn't 275 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:16.160 tie to any particular protest? Drug use, public drinking. 276 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:18.319 Yeah, it wasn't a protest. 277 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.599 It was some sort of a party and then they said, hey, 278 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.240 let's hit the streets. 279 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.720 Wow, that's unfortunate. 280 00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.079 Yeah, And we don't know, it's hard to We don't 281 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:32.839 have the exact details, like did they disperse because the 282 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.400 police showed up at the party so everybody flooded out 283 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.839 of the building and then hit the streets, or why 284 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.960 they moved from the rooftop down onto the streets. 285 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:43.640 Can we see a show of hands of anybody who 286 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.319 in the room that's been shot at by rubber bullets? 287 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.559 I have not you have me and codo. 288 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:54.599 Oh yeah, I still have them. I still have some 289 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:55.000 of them. 290 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:55.920 What did you do? 291 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.119 I was in the riot, the nineteen ninety nine riots 292 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.960 downtown why because I was broadcasting and I got locked 293 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:07.880 out of the Staples Center and my partner, Tim Kelly 294 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.920 was in there and I was on my cell phone. 295 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.559 Our security was actually shot and taken to the hospital. 296 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.359 They were they took one of them, took it in 297 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.599 the ear and the leg and one of them and 298 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:20.880 so they so I was without security roaming the streets 299 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:24.440 and I still have them to this day. I still 300 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:25.960 have those rubber bullets to this day. And then they 301 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.680 had these larger ones that they'd shoot at the ground 302 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.799 at a forty five degree angle and they'd ricochet up 303 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:38.279 into the group. And strangely enough, La Times went to 304 00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:41.000 interview me. I was the only host live on the 305 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.480 air at that time. I was riding on the back 306 00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.799 of a ups truck to get from point to point 307 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.279 they because they were trying to get around over there 308 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.680 in Olympic and something. And I'm on the cell phone 309 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.480 and they station's calling me to say get out of there, 310 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.119 and I'm not answering. I'm like, I'm going to stay 311 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:01.119 here as long as I can. But it was, it 312 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:05.559 was crazy fascinating. LA Times interviewed me and I and 313 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:10.799 I told them what I saw, which was the protesters 314 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.880 throwing bottles of urine and rocks at the cops before 315 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:20.599 the cops did anything. And they didn't print that. They 316 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:23.319 only took this, you know, all this stuff. I remember 317 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.759 distinctly going that is crap. I'm like, no, I was 318 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.599 right there at the skirmish line there when they read 319 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.000 the right literally read the Riot Act over a loud 320 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.559 speaker to say my press badges all that means nothing. 321 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:40.720 When they do that, I was just like anybody else 322 00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.160 at that time. But I thought they held themselves quite well. 323 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:50.160 The lapd You know, what are you gonna do? Anyways? 324 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:53.160 That's that one of about four riots I've been in. 325 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.880 Any Ways, that should be a nice more stories. Oh yeah, 326 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.880 little punk rocker, we got those riots all the time. Okay, 327 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.920 it is a different time. I'm a different guy. I'm 328 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:07.119 way heavier, run slower, so I do better things. It 329 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.480 is Memorial Day. I hope you are thinking about those 330 00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:12.799 that have given the ultimate sacrifice for us to be 331 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:17.480 able to enjoy ourselves. Have some barbecue sales. Anybody buying 332 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.839 anything today? Anyone?

Top Republicans. 368 00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:12.880 These are prominent US senators Warren Trump to get serious 369 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:16.640 about addressing budget deficit or they're going to block the 370 00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.759 Big Beautiful Bill. So you have these fiscal hawks, and 371 00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:22.400 I know Handel talks about this all the time, saying 372 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:25.759 that they don't exist anymore. Well, apparently they do, at 373 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.720 least just a few of them, and they're pushing back. 374 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.200 So not everybody's in lockstep with the Orange Man. And 375 00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:39.960 right now they're pushing back and they're saying that, you know, 376 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:44.279 they're going to block the passage of this tax cutting 377 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.400 legislation known as the Big Beautiful Bill if they don't 378 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.160 get some of these concessions. 379 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.640 And he doesn't have much of a margin. He's got 380 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:57.759 a couple more than he had last last time. But 381 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:02.759 it is it fifty three cent senators are Republican and 382 00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:04.799 it's already passed the House, so now it's in the 383 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:09.920 Senate's hands. Any thoughts whether it'll get through. I think 384 00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.519 it'll get through. 385 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:17.880 He's pretty persuasive, but we Chelsea, well, I think. 386 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.920 Part of it is he's got so much power that 387 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.880 he's like, we'll just primary you if you don't vote in. 388 00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:25.759 Yeah, that's what Handles as well. 389 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:29.640 Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Okay, So there's fifty three 390 00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:34.839 Republicans and forty five Democrats and two independents. One of 391 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:38.400 those is Bernie Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats anyway. 392 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:43.680 But so they don't have much of a margin, so 393 00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.000 they can't lose more than three. 394 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.079 We'll see what happens. 395 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:52.519 Yep, trump'sys Putin has gone crazy. Russia launched its biggest 396 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.160 drone attack yet on Ukraine in the more than three 397 00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.680 year war. President Trump said Vladimir Putin is going crazy 398 00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.440 by stepping up the bombing of Ukraine just as the 399 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.559 US is trying to get a peace deal. The bombardment 400 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.119 last night included three hundred and fifty five drones. The 401 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.440
