Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: We can talk about my salad if you want.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Okay, I hope the Nielsen people are listening
Speaker 2: to this one.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's talk about your salad. What about your salad?
Speaker 1: Amy, and now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 4: Here's Bill Handle, and good morning everybody. It's a Monday.
Speaker 2: It is July twenty nine, and the weekend of the Olympics.
Speaker 2: I spent a fair amount of time watching the Olympics
Speaker 2: over the weekend, and it is a strange Olympics.
Speaker 4: It really, it truly is.
Speaker 2: I was just talking to and even the Olympic flame
Speaker 2: is not a flame. It's sort of a bunch of
Speaker 2: LEDs with mists and it's just weird. I guess they're
Speaker 2: somehow reminding us that it looks like a balloon going
Speaker 2: up at night, so it's I guess we're reminding us
Speaker 2: of the Mongolfier brothers, who were the first hotter than
Speaker 2: air balloonists that put people up in the sky. First
Speaker 2: started with a rooster. By the way, just in case
Speaker 2: you get asked out on Jeopardy. The first passengers and
Speaker 2: a hotter in air balloon was a rooster, and I
Speaker 2: think was it just a rooster? I think there was
Speaker 2: one or two other animals. Any case, Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2: I just said that, didn't I Let me say hello
Speaker 2: to those that are here in studio.
Speaker 4: Let's start with Amy. Good morning Amy.
Speaker 5: Hi. I didn't know the Olympic flame wasn't an actual
Speaker 5: flame until Yeah.
Speaker 4: Isn't that weird? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it looks like fire, but it ain't fire.
Speaker 2: It's really weird. Every city does its own version and
Speaker 2: it always involves the flame, and the flame always comes
Speaker 2: from Mount Olympus, where, of course in Greece where the
Speaker 2: first ancient Olympics, where the Olympics were created. And it's
Speaker 2: a magnifying glass thing that lights whatever paper or whatever
Speaker 2: the hell they use, some kind of kiddley you've done that,
Speaker 2: you know, where you take a magnifying glass in the
Speaker 2: middle of summer where it's really hot. And I used
Speaker 2: to have friends that use it, that used to fry
Speaker 2: ants with that. Now those kids are not doing well.
Speaker 2: They have since become arsonists. But that's how you start
Speaker 2: a flame, and that came from Mount Olympus, and then
Speaker 2: the torch is lit there and it goes around the
Speaker 2: world and it travels overseas on boats and people run it.
Speaker 4: And they have made a.
Speaker 2: Big deal out of the Olympic Flame now being part
Speaker 2: and parcel of the Olympics themselves.
Speaker 4: You can ease what during the La Olympics, you could.
Speaker 2: Buy one hundred meter or two hundred meter part of
Speaker 2: the flame or a quarter of a mile and you
Speaker 2: would buy the torch, the LA torch and run it
Speaker 2: and you actually got to keep a replica of it,
Speaker 2: which was kind of neat. You paid I don't know
Speaker 2: how many thousand dollars, two thousand dollars, and they raise
Speaker 2: money for the Olympics that way. All right, enough of that, Amy,
Speaker 2: I just said hello to you, Cono. I don't see
Speaker 2: you yet because I understand that your zoom operation is
Speaker 2: not working.
Speaker 4: Your iPad was not plugged in. Do I have that right?
Speaker 6: That is correct?
Speaker 2: Okay, So when do I get to see you? Because
Speaker 2: I love seeing you, I.
Speaker 7: Know you do. I say about seven minutes?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, all right, we'll do a countdown. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I just like looking at everybody because when I
Speaker 2: make fun of you and I harassed you, I like
Speaker 2: to look at the expressions. By the way, Amy, the
Speaker 2: camera is off on you.
Speaker 4: There you go. Now I can see your lovely.
Speaker 2: Countenance and good morning or continents, yeah, or incontinence one
Speaker 2: of the chills, very inappropriate. Oh, I think it's countenance
Speaker 2: to ounce.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And I'm looking into this Olympic flame thing and when
Speaker 6: it all changed, because it definitely used to be a
Speaker 6: real flame.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, it's always a real flame. This is
Speaker 4: just an outlier. When it comes to Los Angeles, there'll
Speaker 4: be a flame.
Speaker 2: It'll come back the way the Coliseum used to have
Speaker 2: a flame.
Speaker 4: I don't think they've changed that at all.
Speaker 2: It'll be like the flame in nineteen eighty four and
Speaker 2: the flame.
Speaker 3: Paris that's doing this weird Nona.
Speaker 2: Paris does everything weird. Opening ceremonies were weird. It's just
Speaker 2: Paris is weird. I'm gonna do a little bit more
Speaker 2: about that later on seven point thirty. I'm gonna do
Speaker 2: a story about how they had to apologize for that
Speaker 2: drag Queen Last Supper and at seven point fifty talk about.
Speaker 4: A really weird one how the food in.
Speaker 2: Paris for the Olympia ads for the athletes is not
Speaker 2: very good. People are bringing their own food in. They're
Speaker 2: doing their own takeout or take in.
Speaker 3: Fairly strange in Paris.
Speaker 4: I know that's exactly that. How do you do that?
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why, because France has taking political correctness
Speaker 2: to a degree we don't even imagine here in this country.
Speaker 4: You talk about li woke.
Speaker 2: It is on a level that is beyond anything that
Speaker 2: those of us experience. Okay, so we do not have
Speaker 2: a kneel in. He comes back on Wednesday. So Amy,
Speaker 2: it's the two of us on the news and then
Speaker 2: the rest of us throughout the rest of the show.
Speaker 4: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: It's time for handle on the news on a Monday morning,
Speaker 2: July twenty ninth, Amy and me.
Speaker 4: Late story and this I'll.
Speaker 2: Be expanding on at seven o'clock, and that is President
Speaker 2: Biden calls for Supreme Court reforms a bunch of things.
Speaker 2: He wants limited immunity for presidents. That's a big one.
Speaker 2: But the big one would be.
Speaker 4: Term limit for Supreme Court justices.
Speaker 2: The Constitution doesn't say anything about how long a justice serves.
Speaker 2: So it just so happens that by virtue of way
Speaker 2: our country was created federal judges, and this was to
Speaker 2: make sure they were unbiased are there for life. All
Speaker 2: federal judges are appointed for life, and that's to keep
Speaker 2: the bias out except when the bias comes in, then
Speaker 2: the bias is there for life.
Speaker 4: And a president.
Speaker 2: Here's the legacy of president, any president, is that if
Speaker 2: you get enough picks on the Supreme Court, in the
Speaker 2: case Trump being this time, his legacy, his conservative legacy
Speaker 2: goes for forty years or thirty five years. So we
Speaker 2: have bought ourselves a super conservative court for the next
Speaker 2: thirty thirty five years, and then we'll see thirty five
Speaker 2: years from now, and if it's a conservative president it
Speaker 2: comes into being. Guess what that gets expanded and the people,
Speaker 2: the liberals are going crazy with this.
Speaker 4: I'm going hang on a minute.
Speaker 2: You know you didn't pitch and moan when we had
Speaker 2: the super liberal war in court, did you? You thought
Speaker 2: that was just great.
Speaker 4: You had the rogue.
Speaker 2: Court, you had the Miranda court, you had you know,
Speaker 2: prisoner's rights had, the pornography is okay court you had.
Speaker 4: So you know, I'm just saying your view. You the
Speaker 4: super conservatives.
Speaker 2: Who were fighting this and had to live with it, Well,
Speaker 2: now it's gone the other way around.
Speaker 4: Hey, welcome to the constitution.
Speaker 2: Boys and girls, you know, you don't change the rules
Speaker 2: because it just doesn't go your way. Okay, let's move
Speaker 2: on seven o'clock.
Speaker 4: I'm going to do a lot more than that.
Speaker 5: As if they hadn't already nearly been burned out of existence.
Speaker 5: The people in Paradise in Butte County, you know, the
Speaker 5: city that was pretty much wiped off the face of
Speaker 5: the map in twenty eighteen by the campfire, is now
Speaker 5: under evacuation warnings because of the big fire that is
Speaker 5: burning in northern California. It's burned about three hundred and
Speaker 5: sixty thousand acres and lots of communities are under evacuation warnings.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a big one. It is a big one.
Speaker 2: Bad combination lots of fuel, very hot, very dry.
Speaker 5: And somebody who just pushed a burning truck down again
Speaker 5: to start it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and lots of wind. You put that together and
Speaker 2: you got a problem.
Speaker 4: So I have a question.
Speaker 2: If Paradise goes up again unfortunately horrifically, do you think
Speaker 2: they change the name of the town.
Speaker 4: At some point you got to go.
Speaker 2: This is not a good idea, Okay.
Speaker 3: Not a bad houl for a week's work.
Speaker 5: Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has raised two hundred million
Speaker 5: dollars since she became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee the
Speaker 5: election ninety nine days away. And on top of all
Speaker 5: of the donations, the campaign is saying that two of
Speaker 5: them came from first time contributors to the twenty twenty
Speaker 5: four election cycle, and that they've signed up more than
Speaker 5: one hundred and seventy thousand volunteers to help with the campaign.
Speaker 2: At first, when Kamala Harris came on the scene, and
Speaker 2: I've never been a Kamala Harris fan at all, not
Speaker 2: from the time she was the Attorney General, not from
Speaker 2: the time she was senator, none of that.
Speaker 4: And I.
Speaker 2: Was part of the group that said, you know what,
Speaker 2: how about earning your position, how about going through the primaries,
Speaker 2: how about going out there and actually working and explaining
Speaker 2: your policies. And so I was part of that group says,
Speaker 2: come on, you know what, she's getting up by default.
Speaker 2: But the more I think about this, the more I'm
Speaker 2: thinking that she could very well be the perfect choice,
Speaker 2: notwithstanding anything else. The look at what has happened as
Speaker 2: a result of her getting the presumptive nomination.
Speaker 4: You've got this incredible.
Speaker 2: Interest and money pouring in an engagement and even pro
Speaker 2: Biden fans.
Speaker 4: You know, it was sort of you know, it was.
Speaker 2: A myth at best with Biden. Now you have excitement
Speaker 2: going on. She could be politically speaking again. I know
Speaker 2: people that have met her interviewed her not very impressed
Speaker 2: with her. It's she could be the perfect choice because
Speaker 2: she is exactly anti traditional politician, black Indian, dot Indian,
Speaker 2: not if our other Indian a woman. You put all
Speaker 2: of that together, obviously pro choice. You've got some issues,
Speaker 2: and she can argue conservatism because she got in a
Speaker 2: lot of trouble as a prosecutor for going after the
Speaker 2: bad guys in a way that the conservatives just loved
Speaker 2: and are So it's there.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be an interesting race, to say the least. Okay.
Speaker 3: Israel says it will strike back.
Speaker 5: Israel promise that has below will pay the price after
Speaker 5: it blamed the Lebanese militant group for a rocket attack
Speaker 5: in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Twelve children were killed.
Speaker 5: They were playing soccer on a soccer field when the
Speaker 5: air strike hit Hesbela says it denies it was behind
Speaker 5: the strike.
Speaker 2: Well, Israeli intelligence and US intelligence says O contrere. They
Speaker 2: were a couple things about this, and this is my question.
Speaker 2: Was this strike that was aimed. I don't know if
Speaker 2: they had the capability of has the capability or in
Speaker 2: this case, it happened where they could actually target this field,
Speaker 2: much like Israel has this smart weaponry that can target
Speaker 2: windows in buildings. And then the other issue is Hesbela
Speaker 2: usually takes credit for stuff like this and it still
Speaker 2: says it firmly denies it. Don't know, well, it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter as far as Israel is concerned.
Speaker 4: They're going ball to the wall that we're about.
Speaker 2: As close to a regional war as we have ever been,
Speaker 2: because now you have we're this close to a war
Speaker 2: or Israel's close to a war with.
Speaker 4: Hesba Lah also with the houties out of Yemen, and
Speaker 4: this is in.
Speaker 2: The militants out of Iraq's And when I say we
Speaker 2: were now talking about a conflagration that basically involves the
Speaker 2: entire Middle East, not good news. By the way, they
Speaker 2: Israel will take out southern Lebanon.
Speaker 4: There's no question they will, So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2: By the way, I think they're already hitting targets if
Speaker 2: I'm not mistaking.
Speaker 3: In southern Lebanon.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they've been trading rocket fire for quite a while.
Speaker 5: We were talking to Jordana Miller who's in Jerusalem, and
Speaker 5: she said the cross border attacks have just been going
Speaker 5: on constantly, and they've actually increased about thirty percent recently.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know where the line is where it goes
Speaker 2: from cross border attacks into full scale war. I don't
Speaker 2: quite know where to draw that line. But if it's
Speaker 2: not already over that line, it's damn close.
Speaker 5: So I guess this is one way to get people
Speaker 5: to stop using natural gas. The Southern California Gas has
Speaker 5: told the neighborhood of Portuguese Bend in Rancho Palace Verdies
Speaker 5: that they don't get gas anymore. They're going to cut
Speaker 5: the gas service off on Monday morning. They say it's
Speaker 5: due to worsening land movement. The utility didn't say exactly
Speaker 5: what had changed to prompt giving them such short notice,
Speaker 5: but the notices just went out over the weekend saying, oh,
Speaker 5: by the way, on Monday, you're losing your gas service.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now they're moving gas lines and with flexible gas lines
Speaker 2: and that sort of thing, sort of technology, But they're
Speaker 2: not saying, we don't know when it's actually be connected,
Speaker 2: so we're not going to give you any idea. By
Speaker 2: the way, don't bring in propane either, don't do anything
Speaker 2: to be without gas. Maybe now is the time to
Speaker 2: buy a piece of land. There is that an expensive area.
Speaker 2: I know, rancher Palace vertis is insanely expensive. Is Portuguese
Speaker 2: been in a particularly expensive area?
Speaker 3: Do you know, Amy, I am not familiar with that area.
Speaker 4: Hmm.
Speaker 3: Both candidates say I won.
Speaker 5: President Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela has been declared the winner
Speaker 5: in Venezuela's presidential election. The voting was held over the weekend.
Speaker 5: The National Election Council says Maduro got fifty one percent
Speaker 5: of the vote compared to opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez, who
Speaker 5: got forty four percent. Now the problem is Modua or
Speaker 5: Gonzalez's side is also saying that they won.
Speaker 3: They were celebrating.
Speaker 5: They saw it as a landslide victory for Gonzales based
Speaker 5: on exit polls.
Speaker 4: Of course, of course it was, but we knew Maduro
Speaker 4: was going to win. We knew Maduro was going to
Speaker 4: win before there was a vote, he would never accept
Speaker 4: the vote.
Speaker 2: The National Electoral Council happens to be selected by Maduro.
Speaker 2: So it's one of those things where, for example, the
Speaker 2: Communist Party in China, those people are actually elected.
Speaker 4: Did you know that?
Speaker 2: Sure they are putin, actually gets elected every term? Now
Speaker 2: overwhelming odds? Do you think he wins before the election?
Speaker 2: Just guessing so anyway, And I don't know how much
Speaker 2: of the world is going to recognize Maduro.
Speaker 4: Do you remember when Guido is that his name?
Speaker 2: Udo who won the last time out opposition guy in
Speaker 2: the United States and other country said he was the president.
Speaker 4: You know where he is now? He's in Miami. He's
Speaker 4: running a Venezuelan restaurant in Miami.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's doing that or not, but yeah,
Speaker 2: welcome to the modern world.
Speaker 5: So I'm not the only one being a couch potato.
Speaker 5: The ratings are in for the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
Speaker 5: It was a good night for NBC and Peacock. Nearly
Speaker 5: twenty nine million people watched the Friday night spectacle on
Speaker 5: the River Sin. It's a huge jump from the seventeen
Speaker 5: million who watched the kickoff to the twenty twenty one
Speaker 5: Olympics in Tokyo, eight percent higher than the Rio Olympics,
Speaker 5: but not quite as high as the London Olympics. The
Speaker 5: opening ceremonies in twenty twelve got almost forty one million viewers.
Speaker 2: I loved them. I talked to Anne over the weekend.
Speaker 2: She didn't like the opening ceremonies. I thought they were dynamite.
Speaker 2: I loved the parade of athletes board the boat. The
Speaker 2: only fun ones were when you had teams that consisted
Speaker 2: of one or two or three people, those from countries
Speaker 2: you've never heard of. Me.
Speaker 5: There are so many countries that I'm like, I've never
Speaker 5: even heard that.
Speaker 4: I know that it's crazy.
Speaker 2: You know. There are countries aside that are smaller than
Speaker 2: the Sherman Oaks Galleria and have fewer people than are
Speaker 2: there on a weekend. But I thought the opening ceremonies
Speaker 2: were just great. I mean, the visuals along the Seine
Speaker 2: were just wonderful. I'm gonna talk more about that because
Speaker 2: there was a lot of controversy, you know, the drag
Speaker 2: Queen last supper scene was a little controversial.
Speaker 4: I kind of liked it, I really did.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize it was the last Supper, or supposed
Speaker 5: to be that until the everybody started screaming about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's you know, drag Queen's the last supper
Speaker 2: in the last Supper. I cauld see that could be
Speaker 2: offensive to some people, sure, but the more offensive is
Speaker 2: of course, the more I like it. So to me,
Speaker 2: there's no such saying is too offensive. It just doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: So the goat is good to go at least, we
Speaker 3: sure hope so.
Speaker 5: Simone Biles fought off pain in her calf yesterday and
Speaker 5: posted an impressive all around score at the Olympics. In
Speaker 5: the women's qualifying round, she had a pretty much flawless
Speaker 5: balance beam routine, scored a fourteen point seventy seven. That's
Speaker 5: the highest scored on the apparatus. Overall, she got a
Speaker 5: fifty nine point five six y six impressive floor exercise,
Speaker 5: although she stepped out.
Speaker 2: Come on, Simon, Yeah, but even with that, even with that,
Speaker 2: had this been the finals, she would have taken the gold.
Speaker 4: She's that good.
Speaker 3: Oh, she's amazing.
Speaker 4: It was that strong a performance. I mean, it is
Speaker 4: just it is incredible.
Speaker 2: Even the commentators are in awe of her, as Sell
Speaker 2: say that no one's ever vaulted higher, farther, faster. I mean,
Speaker 2: really extraordinary to say the least. And her comeback, ah man.
Speaker 2: And she was never even going to be at the
Speaker 2: last Olympics. Now she's at this Olympics. A's strong as ever,
Speaker 2: and it's just she's an extraordinary and extraordinary story. And
Speaker 2: I feel real bad, unlike a lot of other apps
Speaker 2: fleets that she's in in one of the events that
Speaker 2: really doesn't pay much money, really, Simone Biles, probably twenty
Speaker 2: five million dollars a year of not enough money.
Speaker 4: But still she deserves it. That was a little sarcasting,
Speaker 4: by the way, in case she didn't get that, Amy, Oh,
Speaker 4: I just wanted to point that out.
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, some high tech help for the homeless. So
Speaker 5: apparently there are outdated computer systems that are making the
Speaker 5: homeless problem even worse.
Speaker 3: In LA.
Speaker 5: A report found that basic information like whether or not
Speaker 5: shelter beds are open, is often information that is not available.
Speaker 5: More than forty five thousand people are homeless in LA.
Speaker 5: So there's a guy who's the chief technology officer for
Speaker 5: Better Angels United.
Speaker 3: It's a nonprofit group.
Speaker 5: It says the technologies that don't talk to one another
Speaker 5: and lack accurate data is just making the problem worse.
Speaker 5: And so he's working on a high tech solution so
Speaker 5: that the computers can talk to each other and hopefully
Speaker 5: that will help the homeless people get shelter beds and
Speaker 5: homeless services.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 2: I mean, prior to the Supreme Court case, of course,
Speaker 2: the Oregon case, you could not or city could not
Speaker 2: de encamp and encampment if there were shelter beds available.
Speaker 4: I just couldn't do it. Well, now they can.
Speaker 2: But the point is where people go, well, they go
Speaker 2: to a nearrow shelter, where do they find out where's
Speaker 2: the near a shelter that has open beds?
Speaker 4: You start calling around, and.
Speaker 2: You would think that they would have the technology or
Speaker 2: just go online and you start doing just within two miles,
Speaker 2: within three miles, do a radius search and find out
Speaker 2: which beds are open, and that doesn't exist. It's kind
Speaker 2: of surprising though, to think you would think that would
Speaker 2: How hard is it to have computer systems.
Speaker 4: Talk to each other? Obviously very hard.
Speaker 5: Speaking of the homeless situation, as you know, you mentioned
Speaker 5: the Supreme Court ruling, and then last week Governor Newsom
Speaker 5: issued an executive order saying hey, let's clear out all
Speaker 5: the homeless camps in California.
Speaker 3: Well, there are people who are homeless.
Speaker 5: And they said, fine, come clear out the camps because
Speaker 5: as soon as you leave, we're coming back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because where do they go? Where do they go?
Speaker 2: This is an answer or this is a question that
Speaker 2: I don't know how is going to be answered. You've
Speaker 2: got what in LA County sixty sixty thousand homeless people,
Speaker 2: and where do they go? And even if they do
Speaker 2: have places to go, where do they go? So let's
Speaker 2: say you are and how many homeless people you see
Speaker 2: have dogs. They're sitting out on the street corner, you know,
Speaker 2: on off ramps and you know, God bless you will
Speaker 2: work for food. Whatever they held, the sign says a
Speaker 2: lot of God bless yous. And they have a dog.
Speaker 2: And the dog is sitting there and it's sweet and
Speaker 2: it's wonderful, and it surely doesn't know that person that
Speaker 2: that little dog is with as homeless, and they just
Speaker 2: think living on the sidewalks kind of a neat thing
Speaker 2: to do. The point is those shelter will take a dog.
Speaker 2: So you ask someone, here's your choice, get rid of
Speaker 2: your dog.
Speaker 4: You have a shelter or you keep your dog which
Speaker 4: way you think they're gonna go?
Speaker 2: And this is by the thousands and thousands, and you
Speaker 2: have a dog, you know, would you give up your
Speaker 2: dog to go to a homeless shelter?
Speaker 4: Would you stay on the street. She's shaking her head.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: We've been talking about this for a long time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have.
Speaker 2: So it's a problem that's sort of insurmountable, a big
Speaker 2: time problem without spending lots and lots and lots and
Speaker 2: lots and lots and lots of money. But you know,
Speaker 2: we're gonna be talking about this long after I'm dead.
Speaker 5: Millions watched the Olympic opening ceremonies.
Speaker 3: Millions of others went to the movies.
Speaker 5: Deadpool and Wolverine opened with the eighth highest opening weekend
Speaker 5: ever and also was the top money maker for an
Speaker 5: R rated film in an opening weekend that was held
Speaker 5: by Deadpool. But now it's Deadpool and Wolverine brought in
Speaker 5: two hundred five million dollars in its first weekend.
Speaker 4: And that's just that's just domestically.
Speaker 5: Yeah, then you add in the global numbers and it's
Speaker 5: four hundred and thirty eight million dollars in one weekend.
Speaker 2: So the thing costs an astronomical two hundred million dollars
Speaker 2: to make. I mean, that's insane money. It brings in
Speaker 2: twice that the first weekend. Yeap, this was a very
Speaker 2: good idea buying Marvel. You think that was a good
Speaker 2: idea by the Disney folks. Any Way, I hear it's
Speaker 2: a very good movie.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 2: That's and that's the other thing is I've seen one
Speaker 2: superhero movie, and I've talked about this a lot, and
Speaker 2: it was the first iron Man movie. And I'm not
Speaker 2: big fan on superheroes, but I love the movie because
Speaker 2: it was so well done. And this got pretty good reviews,
Speaker 2: didn't it. In addition to all the superhero stuff, the
Speaker 2: movie is just well done, which I think is pretty
Speaker 2: pretty impressive or mandatory to make it a big hit.
Speaker 4: Do people go anyway? Cono, you're a superhero guy, aren't you.
Speaker 6: Yeah? I enjoy myself some superhero movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course you do, because you're so mature.
Speaker 2: Does you do you still go if the movie is
Speaker 2: aunt just to see your superhero another superhero movie? No?
Speaker 6: I actually do prefer like good acting.
Speaker 2: And no, I understand that, but would if it gets
Speaker 2: let's say word of.
Speaker 4: Mouth, etc.
Speaker 2: That it's only and the reviews are only it's aunt.
Speaker 2: Do you still go because it's a superhero?
Speaker 7: Noaway for streaming? Okay, but dead pull Wolverine like it
Speaker 7: gets such high review I do want to see it
Speaker 7: in the movie theater.
Speaker 4: Okay? And are you going to?
Speaker 6: Probably not?
Speaker 3: He can't know he's moving and.
Speaker 2: He works here at iHeart and it's fifteen bucks a ticket.
Speaker 2: I understand that.
Speaker 4: Are you moving?
Speaker 2: Are you moving, by the way, Yeah, moved? Oh you
Speaker 2: moved already. Oh now you're unpacking?
Speaker 6: Correct?
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right. It's not fun, Bill, No, it's not
Speaker 4: a matter of fact.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm moving again, and it's uh, it's not fun.
Speaker 4: It's not fun.
Speaker 2: I mean, packing is let me tell you something as
Speaker 2: fat and you'll you can you can?
Speaker 4: You know? Certainly? Uh add to this is Uh, moving
Speaker 4: is such a drag. I mean watching the movers work.
Speaker 2: I just get tired watching them move the furniture and
Speaker 2: pack boxes and put them on the trucks and drive them.
Speaker 4: It's it's difficult.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I'm the mover. You're looking at them there? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh how does that work?
Speaker 7: I did google how much movers costs, and I was like, nope.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's pretty pricey to say the least. But that's
Speaker 2: why I got invented movers. Okay, uh, let's go ahead.
Speaker 2: Nice huh.
Speaker 4: But did you get any friends to help you? At least?
Speaker 6: I don't have many.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you moved yourself?
Speaker 6: Yeah no, yeah, just me. I have brothers.
Speaker 4: Okay. You buying pizza? It's usually pizza and beer. Beer.
Speaker 6: Couldn't afford the pizza fair enough?
Speaker 5: Okay, Well this could help with the parking issues at
Speaker 5: the Hollywood Bowl. Metro is taking public comment about its
Speaker 5: plan to extend the K line up through Hollywood. Right now,
Speaker 5: the route connects Westchester to the Expo Line and the
Speaker 5: Lax Station then is expected to open later this year.
Speaker 5: But they're looking at some proposals that would connect the
Speaker 5: K line to the D Line on Wilshire and the
Speaker 5: B Line in Hollywood and Highland. And that couldn't include
Speaker 5: adding a final stop at the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 4: You ever parked at the Hollywood Bowl?
Speaker 3: I just did over the weekend.
Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't that a delight parking? It couldn't today.
Speaker 2: You couldn't get a permit to park there or to
Speaker 2: build that parking structure if someone held a gun to
Speaker 2: your head. So you get to park, one behind the
Speaker 2: other behind there, and you have to wait as you're
Speaker 2: leaving until the car right in front of you.
Speaker 4: Or the car right in back of you pulls out.
Speaker 4: You're sandwiched.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when we got to our car Saturday night, the
Speaker 5: people in back of us literally were like clapping and cheering,
Speaker 5: and we got there pretty quick, but they were excited because,
Speaker 5: like you said, you're stuck until the people before you leave.
Speaker 2: I have been there and people go out, and I
Speaker 2: get there early, so I can get out fairly early,
Speaker 2: and maybe two three cars back from the very front row,
Speaker 2: and I have sat there for twenty five minutes while
Speaker 2: everybody was pulling out, and the people in front of
Speaker 2: me and behind me finally show up, and the drivers
Speaker 2: in a walker walking along, And this is when you
Speaker 2: kick out the walker from under people. This is when
Speaker 2: you go, Okay, there has to be a better way,
Speaker 2: And now we could get a new line to the
Speaker 2: Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 3: But then you'd have to take a metro train.
Speaker 2: That's true, Yeah, and then you would die on the
Speaker 2: way there anyway, So it all works out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you remember that song, Hey, baby, let's go to Vegas. MM, well,
Speaker 5: now you can again because the freeway is reopened. All
Speaker 5: lanes of the fifteen were closed for almost forty eight hours.
Speaker 5: Will started telling about the telling us about this. On
Speaker 5: Friday morning, a big rig overturned and it was carrying
Speaker 5: lithium batteries and it caught fire, and that created a
Speaker 5: possible hazardous materials situation. So they just shut the whole
Speaker 5: thing down between Barstow and Baker for forty eight hours.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're caught in traffic, can't get in, can't
Speaker 2: get out. Well, it's like being at the Hollywood Bowl
Speaker 2: and parking you can't move, except this is for forty
Speaker 2: eight hours, and it's on the way to Las Vegas
Speaker 2: and it's one hundred and twenty degrees outside.
Speaker 4: How can we haven't had stories of people dying.
Speaker 3: Because nobody died?
Speaker 4: I mean, what do you do? I think the story
Speaker 4: is that they bring water? Did they? I mean, this
Speaker 4: is crazy, I don't know.
Speaker 5: But the just the location of where that happened was
Speaker 5: also a problem for the first responders, like they couldn't
Speaker 5: get to it because the traffic was so bad.
Speaker 3: Yea, so it took it longer.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it didn't work for Steve Bannon, but maybe it
Speaker 5: will for Mark Meadows. Mark Meadows is appealing to the
Speaker 5: Supreme Court asking them to take up his bid to
Speaker 5: move the Georgia election subversion prosecution against him in the
Speaker 5: federal court. And he's saying then he would bring arguments
Speaker 5: that he is entitled to immunity from the charges. Right now,
Speaker 5: it's in state court, and the US Circuit Court of Appeals,
Speaker 5: the Eleventh Circuit said last year that the Georgia prosecution
Speaker 5: against Meadows should move forward in state court.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a weird Supreme Court decision that this is.
Speaker 2: A part of the concept that Donald Trump is truly
Speaker 2: the teflon president. His argument that he said he has
Speaker 2: immunity from prosecution no matter what he does as president,
Speaker 2: and the Supreme Court basically gave it to him. It
Speaker 2: has to determine what is an official act, and the
Speaker 2: presumption is that anything he does is an official act.
Speaker 2: So now the Trump case goes back, and of course
Speaker 2: that's going to be decided whether what he did with
Speaker 2: actually stooping what's the face Stormy Daniels and paying her off,
Speaker 2: was that an official act or not.
Speaker 4: I mean, who the hell knows at this point.
Speaker 2: But Mark Meadows is using that Supreme Court decision saying
Speaker 2: that everything he did was an official act and therefore
Speaker 2: he was acting on behalf of the president, and therefore
Speaker 2: he is immune from prosecution. So we'll see if the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court intervenes, they might Who the hell knows. And
Speaker 2: here's boy, here's something about the third rail.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, stopped dead in his tracks.
Speaker 4: Ooh, very strong.
Speaker 3: No it's bad.
Speaker 4: No, man, it's very good.
Speaker 2: Any good punt about people dying, I think is always
Speaker 2: very strong.
Speaker 3: Okay, you're rubbing off on me.
Speaker 5: A man died on Saturday on the Red Line tracks
Speaker 5: inside a tunnel between Universal City and North Hollywood, and
Speaker 5: officials went to check it out and they were like,
Speaker 5: how did this happen?
Speaker 3: Did he get run over? And they say, it doesn't
Speaker 3: appear that he was hit by a train.
Speaker 5: It appears that he touched the third rail and got
Speaker 5: electrocuted and died.
Speaker 2: I have a question, And that is the quote from
Speaker 2: the story. It doesn't appear like he was hit by
Speaker 2: a train. When you are hit by a train, isn't
Speaker 2: that a parent like instantly? And when you are not
Speaker 2: hit by a train.
Speaker 3: Isn't that a parent good point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think it would just be he wasn't
Speaker 2: hit by a train, he was electrocuted. But and that's
Speaker 2: nearly well, it depends, you know how entertaining that is
Speaker 2: because if you look at I was once on a
Speaker 2: train on the way to San Diego and some guy
Speaker 2: stepped in front of the train.
Speaker 4: Oh four hours.
Speaker 2: We were sitting there on the train, on that train
Speaker 2: while the corners brought out there we're just pieces of him.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just sitting in front of a train.
Speaker 2: And the corner had to go out and investigate. Was
Speaker 2: sent her to investigate. They could have just brought a
Speaker 2: fire truck with a fire hose, cleaned it off, and
Speaker 2: we're on our way.
Speaker 5: Oo.
Speaker 2: We have to wait for the corner to say, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think he's dead. All fifty eight pieces and he
Speaker 2: looks like Hamburger. You know, I have a question. Am
Speaker 2: I going a little bit too far too quickly on
Speaker 2: a Monday morning?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Okay, we're done.
