Speaker 1: You're listening to KPI AM six forty, the Bill Handles
Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeartRadio. F one of my
Speaker 1: teeth broke. It broke off at the gum line, and
Speaker 1: so I have an empty part of my mouth, and
Speaker 1: I look in the mirror and I look like half
Speaker 1: the people that listen to this show. I smile, and
Speaker 1: I want to have a squirrel sandwich for lunch. I've
Speaker 1: just taken this tremendous desire to go to a NASCAR race,
Speaker 1: and I don't understand it. I really don't. And now
Speaker 1: Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle. Well,
Speaker 1: thanks Cono. So we actually start the first promo with
Speaker 1: me offending someone and some group of people, and I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go back to the apologies I used
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: You were at the end of the program.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm going to record the apologies I
Speaker 1: used to do.
Speaker 2: At wasn't that producer Michelle.
Speaker 1: It was Michelle who. It was a litany of every
Speaker 1: ethnic religious group that you could ever think of, And
Speaker 1: I apologize in advance or in arrears for having having
Speaker 1: somehow offended them, and I apologize for not having your
Speaker 1: group part of that list if your group was not
Speaker 1: if I left out. So I think I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: back to that. I really am. It's too much fun.
Speaker 1: It is way too much fun. Okay, let's say good
Speaker 1: morning everybody. Bill handle here, it's KFI. It's a Monday,
Speaker 1: December sixteenth. There's a Amy.
Speaker 2: Good morning Amy, Good morning Bill.
Speaker 1: What is that on your sweatshirt this morning?
Speaker 3: Believe?
Speaker 1: Oh believe? That's so sweet. Believe in what.
Speaker 4: The miracle of the season?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Magic?
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm levitating as we speak. Good morning, it's a miracle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe.
Speaker 1: And what do you believe in? This is like Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: You know, what are we grateful for? And I scream
Speaker 1: out ratings? What what do you believe in?
Speaker 2: And the birth of Christ?
Speaker 1: The birth of Okay, I believe in the birth of Christ. Okay,
Speaker 1: And I'm not right there. No, I do no, No,
Speaker 1: I believe Christ was none. I believe Christ was a
Speaker 1: historical figure.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I believe he was born. The issue of whether he
Speaker 1: was born in immaculate conception, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But the no, there's a difference between immaculate conception and
Speaker 2: the virgin birth. People confuse those Oh there goes mister scholar, No,
Speaker 2: immaculate conception is dealing with Mary. Virgin birth is dealing
Speaker 2: with Jesus.
Speaker 1: Okay, hang on him. And if you connect the two
Speaker 1: virgin birth and immaculate conception, the birth of Jesus and
Speaker 1: Mary his mother, somehow they are not connected.
Speaker 2: They they are connected. But immaculate conception doesn't deal with Christ.
Speaker 1: It deals with the conception. It deals with the baby
Speaker 1: Jesus having been conceived.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. It deals with Mary. Virgin birth deals
Speaker 2: with Jesus.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, Okay. By the way, I understand that
Speaker 1: the concept of virgin was merely a mistranslation or misinterpretation
Speaker 1: of the original Aramaic of which the Bible was written.
Speaker 2: The Bible, the only part of the Bible is an
Speaker 2: a very small.
Speaker 1: Is the old is the Old Testament. I see this
Speaker 1: is weird. And now we get into this.
Speaker 2: This is the first time you've got some marriga before
Speaker 2: we should we should do a whole thing.
Speaker 1: We should do an hour of obscurity of religion with
Speaker 1: nil sevadris.
Speaker 2: I've heard some of the worst theology ever on this station,
Speaker 2: even from Christians. So there you go. I know I
Speaker 2: buy that you usually have.
Speaker 3: Pretty good theology because you're a student of history. That's
Speaker 3: probably true, and you know a lot about what Christians
Speaker 3: referred to as the Old Testament.
Speaker 1: All right, and kno, good morning. Yeah, okay, it's only
Speaker 1: what we're nine days away from both the start of
Speaker 1: Hanukah and Christmas Day. And I think what we're gonna
Speaker 1: do is I do every year. I don't think I
Speaker 1: did it last year. And that is the story of
Speaker 1: Honika handle style. Yay, yeah, I will do that when
Speaker 1: both Jews and Christians regard the holiday. Of course, Christians
Speaker 1: view the birth of Christ as one of those massive, massive,
Speaker 1: not the biggest ceremony in Christianity, and Jews view Christmas
Speaker 1: Day as one of the biggest opportunities for the retailers
Speaker 1: to sell goods and manufacturers and distributors who the vast
Speaker 1: majority are Jewish. Okay, because a big holiday. Correct, Hanka
Speaker 1: is not a big holiday. The only reason, the only
Speaker 1: reason it is a big holiday is it coincides with
Speaker 1: with Christmas and little Jewish Jewish kids. We don't celebrate that,
Speaker 1: was it little Jewish kids? You know Christmas carols? I
Speaker 1: remember the school walking into Target. Yeah, it does. It's
Speaker 1: no big deal because you got eight little crappy presents.
Speaker 1: Theoretically you're supposed to do. But I remember as a
Speaker 1: kid in the school, grade school, you know, singing those
Speaker 1: Christmas songs we had. You know, there's some some of
Speaker 1: the most beautiful music out there are Christmas songs. I mean,
Speaker 1: just gorgeous stuff by Hebrews. Yeah, of course, George Gershwin. Uh.
Speaker 1: The original Christmas song was that it No, no, it
Speaker 1: was you know it was Meltor May. Meltor May wrote
Speaker 1: the Christmas Song and lived in Sherman Oaks or Tarzana
Speaker 1: did it in the middle of the summer in July.
Speaker 1: He wrote it and he was sitting at his piano,
Speaker 1: was one hundred and twelve degrees outside. Uh. Now, let
Speaker 1: me tell you the drang. Yeah, well, let me tell
Speaker 1: you about the Dradel song. It is the most miserable,
Speaker 1: god awful song for a holiday. And that's all we had,
Speaker 1: Oh Dreda right, right, and it was it. That was
Speaker 1: our song. And then you had this little drummer Boy, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I love that song. Just some great,
Speaker 1: great songs.
Speaker 2: You know what though about the Little Drummer Boy, It's like,
Speaker 2: here's this woman that had to not just this woman,
Speaker 2: but deal with me for a second year. People on
Speaker 2: an ass wrote an ass all, you know, to a
Speaker 2: whole other town. They had no room at the end.
Speaker 2: So she's giving birth in a manger and some kid goes,
Speaker 2: you know what, you need a drum solo?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: How about how about Stix McGee coming in here and
Speaker 2: doing little ratta?
Speaker 1: You know, the three wise men with you know, Frankenstein
Speaker 1: and Myrtle and Lime. You know there were.
Speaker 2: Three of them. That's a misnomer as well. So there
Speaker 2: you go your scripture.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go.
Speaker 4: Wait, there weren't three.
Speaker 2: No, there were leap. The assumption is that there were
Speaker 2: three because there were three gifts, but magi is just plural.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that there were three.
Speaker 1: I have to go get more men from manger.
Speaker 2: Yes, the belief is that there was probably much more
Speaker 2: than three. Many a right.
Speaker 1: We're going to get more into this as Christmas approaches
Speaker 1: with the Morning Show describes Christmas and its environs. Okay, guys,
Speaker 1: oh I got it is so much trouble once Breath
Speaker 1: Asure commercial Breath precursor of Zelman's Uh. It was one
Speaker 1: of the most offensive commercials religiously offensive commercials you could
Speaker 1: ever hear? Uh, and it broke the bank. I mean
Speaker 1: they sold more of these little packets than they ever
Speaker 1: did in one day in the history of that company.
Speaker 2: I don't think that was offensive.
Speaker 1: Okay, here it is, all right, let's put it to
Speaker 1: the test. Okay, So Christmas is upon us. Jesus of
Speaker 1: course is crucified, and he is buried, and three days
Speaker 1: later the stone rolls away and Jesus comes out of
Speaker 1: the tomb. Can you imagine what his breath was like?
Speaker 1: Three days later?
Speaker 2: I'll see. I get why people.
Speaker 1: Broke the bank. So many of those packets were sold.
Speaker 2: Okay, I told you tonight, I share it with you.
Speaker 2: Working on the Jesus Show, I don't know what it is,
Speaker 2: but everyone that comes up to me has a joke
Speaker 2: about Jesus. Okay, so I've heard the rudest, rudest, strangest.
Speaker 2: That's a handle statement.
Speaker 1: But I Jesus and two Jews walk into a walk
Speaker 1: into a bar and then never mind. Okay, guys, let's
Speaker 1: do it handle on the news on this December sixteenth.
Speaker 1: Of course, we digressed Monday, but let's do it handle
Speaker 1: on the news. Amy Neil me lead story and Disneyland. Okay, well, okay,
Speaker 1: it's the largest wage theft settlement in the history of
Speaker 1: the United States. This is the reason why when you
Speaker 1: go on the Pirates of the Caribbean, the ride operators
Speaker 1: are in tatters. They look like they're homeless. Why is
Speaker 1: that because Well, Disneyland was accused of and agreed to
Speaker 1: settle a wage theft action class action lawsuit for two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three million dollars. It really, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not like they stole wages from people. What it
Speaker 1: was was their interpretation of a wage enforcement law or
Speaker 1: a wage increase they said does not apply to them
Speaker 1: for some technical reasons, which I'll talk to later at
Speaker 1: seven o'clock. But they lost, They straight out lost, and
Speaker 1: they had to settle it. They had to settle it,
Speaker 1: and I'll explain all of that coming up at seven
Speaker 1: when I do the seven o'clock hour.
Speaker 4: So is it going to be the two hundred and
Speaker 4: thirty three million is what they're settling or is that
Speaker 4: in addition to paying these backways.
Speaker 1: No, the whole thing is two hundred and thirty three million.
Speaker 2: For fifty workers.
Speaker 1: Ye yes, I have no idea how much that is
Speaker 1: because we're talking about people, both current workers and those
Speaker 1: who have worked at Disneyland. It's however long they were
Speaker 1: there for a period of time, and it's the difference
Speaker 1: between what they earned and what they should have earned
Speaker 1: under the minimum wage law, plus interests and whatever penalty
Speaker 1: they get. So it's a chunk, but it's they agreed
Speaker 1: to settle it.
Speaker 4: Forty six hundred dollars a piece, if it was equally distributed.
Speaker 1: If it was equally distributed, and.
Speaker 4: If it didn't take into effect, that probably half of
Speaker 4: that goes to lawyers, right, Probably a.
Speaker 1: Third of that goes to lawyers, unless yeah, unless this
Speaker 1: was we don't know the exact number and how it
Speaker 1: breaks down, but we'll see. There could be lawyercies on
Speaker 1: top of that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, all right, because of Anaheim has their yeah.
Speaker 1: Because of a tech of it. Because the law was
Speaker 1: passed that that minimum wage kicks in if any city
Speaker 1: in midwage kicks in, if any city got some kind
Speaker 1: of a tax abatement from the city. What the company
Speaker 1: said is, we didn't get a tax abatement and what
Speaker 1: and they did actually, because again there's a lot of
Speaker 1: technical aspects of this I'll pick that up at seven o'clock.
Speaker 1: A little bit wonky, but the bottom line there's a
Speaker 1: much bigger philosophical description and view of this.
Speaker 4: This one got too close for comfort. Two men have
Speaker 4: been arrested after a drone came what officials say was
Speaker 4: dangerously close to Logan International Airport in Boston. Officers noticed
Speaker 4: the drone on Saturday. They used advanced UAS monitoring technology
Speaker 4: to identify where the drone was being flown from. They
Speaker 4: went onto this little island and found three people there.
Speaker 4: They all ran off, two of them were captured, and
Speaker 4: a drone was apparently found inside one of the people's backpacks.
Speaker 4: And then the third person took off in a little
Speaker 4: boat and they are still looking for that person.
Speaker 1: So they can catch one one place, no One drone
Speaker 1: and someone's backpack. Coming up at eight twenty. I'm going
Speaker 1: to do a whole story here, because there's a couple
Speaker 1: issues about this. Number one, the drones themselves, number two
Speaker 1: stopping them doing something about and what the hell are they?
Speaker 1: And then by far the most exciting part of the
Speaker 1: drone story is what is Project Bluebeam? Oh yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't miss that. That's coming up at eight twenty before
Speaker 1: we go to do they have a case with Wayne.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, is this Amy?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Sorry, I threw it in the trash. I'm not getting
Speaker 2: mad at myself, all right. So the United Healthcare ceo
Speaker 2: shooting more This has really got people on either side
Speaker 2: of the fence. The CEO of a company that makes
Speaker 2: the high end backpacks and this is said to be
Speaker 2: the backpack that the shooter was wearing or led shooter
Speaker 2: was wearing, said he and his employees have received death
Speaker 2: threats after reports he contacted the police tip line when
Speaker 2: he spotted one of the company's bags in the surveillance video.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, that's my backpack. I make that. And
Speaker 1: he is now getting death threats because he's a snitch
Speaker 1: because he was part of getting my GEONI arrested. I
Speaker 1: mean just it's gone nuts. It's gone nuts now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people are very intense about this, which goes to
Speaker 2: say that we need major overhaul of our healthcare system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the whole point. And he was also able
Speaker 1: to get enough money from donations to hire one of
Speaker 1: the top top defense attorneys out there, who is Alvin
Speaker 1: Bragg's boss in the Manhattan DA's office. When Bragg was
Speaker 1: a prosecutor as before he ran for what.
Speaker 2: Are you going to get? Knock it down a little the.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: I don't know how I can't wait for the defense
Speaker 1: on this one. This is a considering the overwhelming evidence
Speaker 1: they have. I would love to see a the defense.
Speaker 1: But if there is one, she's going to come up
Speaker 1: with it. I'll tell you she's that good.
Speaker 2: Your honor. Look at his smile. That's a good looking guy.
Speaker 2: I read.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, A.
Speaker 2: Little panic over polio.
Speaker 4: Senate Majority leader or Minority leader Mitch McConnell, who is
Speaker 4: a polio survivor. I didn't know that is taking some
Speaker 4: swipes at Robert F. Kennedy Junior, who is one of
Speaker 4: Trump's nominees. He said the polio vaccine has saved millions
Speaker 4: of lives and held out the promise of eradicating a
Speaker 4: terrible disease. He said anyone seeking the Senate's consent to
Speaker 4: serve in the incoming administration would do well to steer
Speaker 4: clear of even the appearance of association with efforts to
Speaker 4: repeal or rescind the vaccine. Apparently, one of Kennedy's top allies,
Speaker 4: Aaron Serri, petitioned the FDA to revoke its approval of
Speaker 4: a polio vaccine for Joa.
Speaker 1: Now that's kind of a stretch. Kennedy himself is not
Speaker 1: sad that the polio vaccine should have it's it's should
Speaker 1: have the approval withdrawn. It's just one of his allies
Speaker 1: has petitioned the FDA. So I don't know if you
Speaker 1: can put all that together, he has. Imagine, no, no,
Speaker 1: I would just no.
Speaker 2: But I mean all of us here having to you know,
Speaker 2: eat Crow for something you said, Oh, exactly, we're associated
Speaker 2: with you. Yeah, not well, all right. The family, now
Speaker 2: this is another talk about a snitch. The family of
Speaker 2: the man accused of killing United Healthcares CEO has reported
Speaker 2: him missing. You know, they reported him missing last month. Well,
Speaker 2: his mother told police her son could be the person
Speaker 2: seen in the surveillance photos one day before his arrest.
Speaker 1: So now she has.
Speaker 2: Dealing with Luigi Mangioni.
Speaker 1: She has not been hit with being a snitch.
Speaker 2: Shashy. No, but I thought that was funny. You're going
Speaker 2: to go after the family now, it says, oh, that's
Speaker 2: the question.
Speaker 1: So far, no.
Speaker 4: One little word worth fifteen million dollars ABC News. He
Speaker 4: has agreed to settle a lawsuit by giving fifteen million
Speaker 4: dollars toward Donald Trump's presidential library. It settles the lawsuit
Speaker 4: over George Stephanopoulos saying on the air that the president
Speaker 4: elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer Ejene Carroll.
Speaker 4: He was not found civilly liable for raping her. He
Speaker 4: was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming her.
Speaker 1: Now, if I were ABC, I would have gone to
Speaker 1: trial for this. Absolutely. I would have gone to trial
Speaker 1: because the charge the conviction was for You're right, and
Speaker 1: that is sexually assaulting her, which is different than rape.
Speaker 1: And there's a technical difference, and the jury found in
Speaker 1: favor of the lower If it was lower charge, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be much lower. And the judge said, the judge
Speaker 1: said that the word rape and sexual assault are basically synonymous,
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what the jury founder found him of
Speaker 1: was rape. I would have gone in front of a
Speaker 1: jury and made that argument that that is not defamation,
Speaker 1: that was in fact a rape conviction based on what
Speaker 1: the jury understood and what we understand.
Speaker 2: Do you understand this? This would never happen But let's
Speaker 2: say I come up to you and I plant a
Speaker 2: big old kiss on your lips. That's sexual assault.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's also a medical assault. I would get
Speaker 1: probably very ill, and I'm talking about ly my reaction
Speaker 1: very lucky. Yeah, that is assault. But this is far
Speaker 1: far different. This is much more serious.
Speaker 2: Now I know what I'm saying that that is not
Speaker 2: that would not be perceived as rape.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, no, no, no, no, this is very different.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a kiss that was planted. No, no, this
Speaker 1: was a serious allegation. I mean, to your point, yes,
Speaker 1: that's true, but it is an assault. That's also true.
Speaker 1: But that this you're basically conflating the two issues. This
Speaker 1: was a charge that everybody understood was rape and the
Speaker 1: technical And I'm going to use the word technical because
Speaker 1: it's a very legal term. It's like when we talk
Speaker 1: about lemon law, Neil, and we have a general general
Speaker 1: I have a lemon on my hands, right, my card
Speaker 1: is working well. Well, A lemon is a very specific
Speaker 1: legal determination, and we basically conflate it with just a
Speaker 1: bad car.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm not defending the guy at all.
Speaker 1: No, I understand, no, no, no, no, But what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is all I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying is I would have gone if it's technical. Whole
Speaker 2: world of law is technical, right, well, sometimes so they
Speaker 2: didn't use the term rate.
Speaker 1: And I would go. But the judge says they're interchangeable
Speaker 1: in his view, and the judge said that that's why
Speaker 1: I would have gone to trial. I would have brought
Speaker 1: that up and see what a jury had to say.
Speaker 1: But ABC caved. I guess didn't wind, which quite often happens.
Speaker 1: Fifteen million, fifteen minutes. Nothing that's pocket changed for KBC. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it's going to go to a charity and that's
Speaker 1: deductible and cho well, that's considered a charity. It'll be
Speaker 1: a five O one three C. It will be uh. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's considered a charitable contribution, which it should be, by
Speaker 1: the way. I have no problem with that, all right,
Speaker 1: because it's all private donations. You know, the government doesn't
Speaker 1: pay for a dime of presidential libraries.
Speaker 2: All right. If you're flying United Airlines this holiday season,
Speaker 2: adding an Apple Air tag to your checked baggage could
Speaker 2: be an extra assurance. And this is in partnership now.
Speaker 2: The Chicago based carrier is officially the first of the
Speaker 2: major airlines to implement apples find my location, item location
Speaker 2: and so now customers can you know, securely share the
Speaker 2: location of their air tag with the airline.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you use air tags, they are priceless. You
Speaker 1: know exactly where your luggage is. Yep, it's on the airplane.
Speaker 1: Let's say you're transferring, Yep, made it on the airplane,
Speaker 1: it's off the airplane. It's now in the terminal building
Speaker 1: on its way in. I mean you with that kind
Speaker 1: of specificity, Boy, do you feel good about that?
Speaker 2: Do you remember that story? Gosh Amy, maybe you remember
Speaker 2: it was probably within the last year where a woman
Speaker 2: lost her luggage and it at lax and it ended
Speaker 2: up in a homeless encampment.
Speaker 4: Yes, I do remember that she.
Speaker 2: Ended up finding the empty Oh yeah, her empty luggage
Speaker 2: in a homeless encampment. I think it was here in
Speaker 2: La somewhere. But anyway, how crazy would that be?
Speaker 1: That's a fun store. Well, at least you'd know where
Speaker 1: it is, well empty. Yes, yeah, the AirTag was there.
Speaker 4: You'll remember then the luggage went to several different airports
Speaker 4: before it landed and was taken and ended up in
Speaker 4: a homeless camp in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: How does it get to a homeless camp from an airport.
Speaker 1: Who the hell knows? So.
Speaker 4: Racket book bands are about to be banned in California.
Speaker 4: Beginning January first, public libraries in the state are prohibited
Speaker 4: from banning books that deal with topics like race, gender, identity,
Speaker 4: or sexual orientation. It's called the Freedom to Read Act.
Speaker 4: The new law will also protect library staff from being
Speaker 4: fired or disciplined if they're following the policy or refuse
Speaker 4: to remove a book.
Speaker 1: California is breaking away. It's another way of blue state
Speaker 1: versus Red state. Whoever argues two different countries is getting
Speaker 1: more and more validity with that.
Speaker 2: You know that, why would you ban a book anyways?
Speaker 2: With the Internet and everything else, It's like, well, you.
Speaker 1: Would they do because it's it has the impromptuur of
Speaker 1: the school okaying it and somehow the school standing behind it,
Speaker 1: which is different than I think if you go to.
Speaker 2: Those public libraries, this isn't even talking about.
Speaker 1: I think it's also school though. But you're right, even
Speaker 1: public libraries, it's the same thing. I mean banning. It's
Speaker 1: banning books is a tough one. Now, was there a
Speaker 1: time when you want to ban books? Should pornography be
Speaker 1: available at public libraries. Well, some of us say yes,
Speaker 1: not only on our First Amendment issue, but you know,
Speaker 1: we're just hired of paying for pornography. I'd rather get
Speaker 1: it for free at the public library.
Speaker 2: Huh, let's move on, all right. Netanyaho back in the news.
Speaker 2: Why well because war? Yeah, so Prime Minister of Israel
Speaker 2: Benjamin Netanyah, who said Sunday that he had a very warm,
Speaker 2: his words, phone call with US President elect Donald Trump. Now,
Speaker 2: they talked about a lot of things, and what one
Speaker 2: in particular was Israel's victory and the importance therein with
Speaker 2: its war on Hamas there in Gaza, and also that
Speaker 2: the leaders spoke about the need to bring home the
Speaker 2: remaining hostages in Gaza.
Speaker 1: If you are pro Israel, and that is the one
Speaker 1: of the primary platforms that you vote on, you Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He is so adamantly in favor of Israel and anything
Speaker 1: Israel does in the Mid East, far more than Biden
Speaker 1: ever was, or ever is And Israel will have it.
Speaker 1: As long as it has the United States, it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to the word the rest of
Speaker 1: the world at all.
Speaker 3: Ok.
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't have the United States, it's completely screwed.
Speaker 2: So name uh, you know, other than maybe Carter name Ah,
Speaker 2: a president who wasn't Obama.
Speaker 1: Obama and Natanyahu never got along, and it was where
Speaker 1: George W. Bush was insanely pro Israel. Obama, much more moderate,
Speaker 1: hasn't done anti he is no well, he is threatening,
Speaker 1: and he has asked them to pull back and not
Speaker 1: use certain weapons and not attack Iran several times.
Speaker 2: It's just that's just.
Speaker 1: I think it goes beyond theater. I think it's how
Speaker 1: you view Israel as the one democracy in the Mideast
Speaker 1: that is a true ally of the United States, and
Speaker 1: how you view Arabs and Palestinians less than and I
Speaker 1: believe that Donald Trump does view them in a different light. Muslims.
Speaker 1: I think he views differently. I don't think that's changed.
Speaker 4: Well, Guinness could cause panic in the pub. So Guinness
Speaker 4: is becoming really popular. You know, it's known for its
Speaker 4: distinctive warm brown color, creamy foam head, and unique method
Speaker 4: of being poured. Do you know that pouring a pint
Speaker 4: of Guinness the right way takes two minutes?
Speaker 1: Didn't takes a long time, and then that the head.
Speaker 1: I just went to the Guinness Museum so I can
Speaker 1: give you all these fun Guinness facts and it's just
Speaker 1: the whole science. You're right, and just pouring it and
Speaker 1: it's bitter, and I've never understood it. But I'm not
Speaker 1: a beer drinker. It has exploded. Used to be the
Speaker 1: old guys drink, not anymore, not anymore.
Speaker 2: Basically liquid bread.
Speaker 1: It can be. It's very yeasty, it can be.
Speaker 2: I wonder a bitter bread does it hold any world records?
Speaker 1: I got you.
Speaker 4: I was thinking of that.
Speaker 1: Uh. By the way, seventeen hundreds when Guinness, when the
Speaker 1: Guinness folks, what was it, April Guinness. What was his name,
Speaker 1: George Frederick? I don't know his name, but he created Guinness.
Speaker 1: He creates just and you see the original breweries. They're
Speaker 1: very interesting right outside of.
Speaker 2: Dublin. Aren't they associated with the Book of World Records?
Speaker 1: That is exactly who they are.
Speaker 2: How did that come about?
Speaker 1: I am because they just came out with it. I
Speaker 1: have no idea. How's that for answering? You would think
Speaker 1: I know that, but I don't.

Speaker 1: the premier hospitals in the world. It's one of the
Speaker 1: top military hospitals that the US has. And this is high. Yeah.
