Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: Especially for example, when the poop comes out, that makes
Speaker 2: more room for additional food.
Speaker 1: I mean, see that, boyd, that's I've.
Speaker 2: Never understood that happening with anybody.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, poo doesn't push out the poop yet more.
Speaker 1: That is a fact. By the way, that's all.
Speaker 2: Of us, that's every living creature on the planet.
Speaker 1: And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Speaker 1: Bill Handle, and good morning everybody. Go handle here.
Speaker 2: It's a Friday, a foody Friday, September thirteenth. By the way,
Speaker 2: that last promo was yesterday when Neil and I and
Speaker 2: we all got into termite poop talk and Neil had
Speaker 2: done what his spot and.
Speaker 3: I was talking about the thug man and explaining that
Speaker 3: by the time you see the poop.
Speaker 1: That it's cut, that it's uh, by.
Speaker 3: The time you see it's already been two years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is kind of bizarre. I mean, that's a
Speaker 2: serious constipation issue two years later.
Speaker 3: Okay, this is kind of there's a lot of cellulose
Speaker 3: and fiber it would.
Speaker 2: But yeah, go figure absolutely well, we're going to say
Speaker 2: something this morning uh, and and I forgot what it
Speaker 2: was already. Another Biden moment that, now, by the way,
Speaker 2: is a new term that we use in the United States,
Speaker 2: our English language version of English is we now have
Speaker 2: a Biden.
Speaker 3: Moment mental constipation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. And I just had one of those. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a Friday. Oh you know what else.
Speaker 2: We're going to try it today, something new which I
Speaker 2: haven't done it. I've never done it, and I wanted
Speaker 2: to try it today. We're going to try it at
Speaker 2: seven fifty. And it is Oh no, it's not seven fifty,
Speaker 2: it's eight.
Speaker 3: Uh. Carry the one.
Speaker 2: It's eight thirty, I think, right, yeah, it's a thirty,
Speaker 2: thank you. And she puts this up and sometimes I
Speaker 2: pay attention.
Speaker 4: I was just watching him. I knew what it was,
Speaker 4: but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You watched him, you know this line where he's scrunched
Speaker 2: up and pointing. And because what Anne does is gives
Speaker 2: me the runout the rundown, which I put up and
Speaker 2: I look at it and yeah, that's that's always been
Speaker 2: the case, because I can't remember this stuff. And usually
Speaker 2: and it starts with hi, this is Bill handle, because
Speaker 2: quite often I forget my name. Incidentally, that is not
Speaker 2: particularly shtick either, ask Neil. I have forgotten my name
Speaker 2: many times when introducing myself.
Speaker 4: What's at the top of that page.
Speaker 1: Here's Amy King for our newsroom that time. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know I should take a picture of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to do We'll put that on
Speaker 2: on Instagram and say Bill needs these in order to
Speaker 2: even introduce himself and do the show in the morning.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me say hello, and then I'm I tell
Speaker 1: you what.
Speaker 2: We're gonna do at eight thirty, which I have wanted
Speaker 2: to do and I never have on this show, and
Speaker 2: it's going to be great fun.
Speaker 1: Amy kon O'Neil and good morning.
Speaker 2: Good morning, okay, Glass, thank you very much, Good morning
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: Excellent Okay.
Speaker 2: Now, for those of you that have never listened to
Speaker 2: Handle on the Law, which I do Saturdays from eight
Speaker 2: to eleven o'clock, what makes the show a lot of
Speaker 2: fun is certainly not my legal advice, which is that
Speaker 2: can be entertaining, because as you know, I make it
Speaker 2: up for the most part when I say marginal legal advice.
Speaker 1: So I have a great story about that too. It's
Speaker 1: the phone calls that come in.
Speaker 2: How insane people are, and that show has been going on.
Speaker 1: Man, are you ready for this? Older than you are? Neil.
Speaker 1: That show it first premiered in Are You Ready? Boys
Speaker 1: and Girls? Nineteen eighty five. I've been doing the show
Speaker 1: for that long.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still get questions that I've never asked. I've
Speaker 1: never been asked in any case.
Speaker 2: So we're going through the archives, and occasionally I'll go
Speaker 2: through the archives and listen to the phone calls, and
Speaker 2: some of them, a lot of them are wildly entertaining,
Speaker 2: interspersed with interspersed with my complete lack of knowledge of
Speaker 2: the law and making it up and having people believe it.
Speaker 2: And the more I tell them I make it up,
Speaker 2: they believe it. It's very strange. The dynamic dynamic is
Speaker 2: so weird. So today we are going to do a
Speaker 2: couple of phone calls at the eight thirty hour or
Speaker 2: the eight thirty segment of a couple of previous Handle
Speaker 2: on the Law phone calls that we've pulled out of
Speaker 2: our our I have every phone call, every minute of that.
Speaker 1: Show that I have done since nineteen eighty five. You
Speaker 1: know how many.
Speaker 2: Thousands of hours and zillions of phone calls you look
Speaker 2: at what I have.
Speaker 1: I have giant reels of tape.
Speaker 2: I have cassettes, I have dats, I have CDs. No
Speaker 2: no records, although that's very good too, the old seventy eights.
Speaker 1: I have some of those. In any case, so we
Speaker 1: pulled some.
Speaker 2: Of the phone calls over the past several years, and
Speaker 2: that's coming up at eight thirty this morning, So that
Speaker 2: should be funny. So you want to stay tuned for that,
Speaker 2: or you don't, cause I'm going to have a good
Speaker 2: time listening.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, you ready to do it?
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, let's do it.
Speaker 2: On a foody Friday, September thirteenth, handle on the news,
Speaker 2: Amy Neil and Me lead story thirty three thousand Boeing
Speaker 2: union members begin their strike. It is very rough for Boeing.
Speaker 2: I mean very rough. I'm going to do more about
Speaker 2: this is seven o'clock because this story has many different levels.
Speaker 2: One of the stories is that there were union workers
Speaker 2: in the factory and they the factory locked down its
Speaker 2: door so workers couldn't get out, and then they realized
Speaker 2: it was really easy to punch out the windows, and
Speaker 2: they went out the windows. Okay, sometimes that works, sometimes
Speaker 2: it doesn't. Anyway more at seven o'clock. Hey, what a start,
Speaker 2: huh this morning.
Speaker 5: You know what I think it's interesting about this story
Speaker 5: is that the union and Boeing had a deal. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they had the agreement, and then the workers voted on
Speaker 5: it in ninety five percent of them said oh, hell
Speaker 5: no and said they didn't want the deal.
Speaker 2: And all that almost never happens because usually when union
Speaker 2: management says, this is our deal, this is what we've
Speaker 2: agreed to, we suggest you sign this deal accepted, it's
Speaker 2: virtually always yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Not this time.
Speaker 2: I'll do a lot more than that at seven o'clock.
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right on that one.
Speaker 3: Amy.
Speaker 5: So the Attorney General is talking tough. I like it
Speaker 5: when Merrick Garland tries to talk tough. But he slammed
Speaker 5: what he called efforts to turn the Justice Department into
Speaker 5: a political weapon. He gave us speech to Department staff
Speaker 5: and US attorneys from across the country yesterday and without
Speaker 5: mentioning Trump, that was the focus of it. His comments
Speaker 5: come as Trump has claimed the Justice Department has been
Speaker 5: weaponized against him amid his criminal prosecutions and suggested that
Speaker 5: he would politicize the department if he gets re elected.
Speaker 5: Garland said, there is not one rule for friends and
Speaker 5: another for foes, one rule for the powerful and another
Speaker 5: for the power less, one for the rich and another
Speaker 5: for the poor.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you're rich, you got a better
Speaker 2: deal because you simply have better attorneys.
Speaker 1: That's always a given. But Garland, one of.
Speaker 2: The tenants of the Department of Justice and the federal
Speaker 2: government is that the executive the presidency always gives the
Speaker 2: Department of Justice a tremendous amount of leeway.
Speaker 1: Does not get in the way a lot of independence.
Speaker 2: And what Trump is saying that they have not that
Speaker 2: Garland in fact, has ordered the Department to go after him,
Speaker 2: and it's Joe Biden that made that order, and he
Speaker 2: has weaponized the DOJ. Also during the debate, he said
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden weaponized the States, New York and Georgia
Speaker 2: to go after him as if he had the power.
Speaker 1: So Garland very very.
Speaker 2: Upset about it, the accusation that it has been weaponized,
Speaker 2: and he has said anybody even accuses us of weaponization
Speaker 2: will immediately be arrested.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, we'll play.
Speaker 3: Speaking of Trump, everybody likes to talk about him. For
Speaker 3: former President Donald Trump said just yesterday he will not
Speaker 3: take part in any more debates ahead of twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four of the twenty twenty four election. He goes on
Speaker 3: to say that Kamala was a no show for the
Speaker 3: Fox debate and refused to do NBC and CBS. Kamala
Speaker 3: should focus on what she should have done during the
Speaker 3: last almost four year period. There will be no third debate,
Speaker 3: he puts in there the Biden debate as well, and
Speaker 3: Harris says that she's she's she's ready to go as
Speaker 3: long as she can bring her own moderators from ABC,
Speaker 3: David Mira and Lindsey Davis to help her out again.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you're.
Speaker 4: Actually facing a ton of backlash about it.
Speaker 1: They are.
Speaker 2: And then the argument the sid is all they did
Speaker 2: was all they did was fact check.
Speaker 1: That's it. That is their defense. That's their defense.
Speaker 3: Yes, but you know what, but it was not balanced.
Speaker 3: They jumped in for one. And too. There's debate as
Speaker 3: to whether a botched abortion, if the baby is still breathing,
Speaker 3: whether they finished the job afterwards, would be a post
Speaker 3: birth abortion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, first of all, yeah, but he said she
Speaker 2: believes in that, and she has never said she believes
Speaker 2: in it ever. Ever, and it is you cannot say
Speaker 2: that they want or she sidestepped many. I thought she
Speaker 2: did agree job a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: And they were not.
Speaker 3: They were not looking to correct her in any way.
Speaker 2: She except, however, look at the number of lies that
Speaker 2: Trump said versus hers.
Speaker 1: Uh, I mean blatantly.
Speaker 3: She said she doesn't want to take away anybody's guns,
Speaker 3: but she has made it very clear that she wants
Speaker 3: to take away assault rifles. How can you say the
Speaker 3: two things she didn't say.
Speaker 1: To take away assault rifles? She says, you can't assault rifles. No.
Speaker 4: What she wanted to make she wanted to bring.
Speaker 1: Back the ban, well, it's a buy ban or just
Speaker 1: take what what happens? Okay?
Speaker 2: Does has she ever advocated you have assault bands?
Speaker 1: You have assault weapons? All right?
Speaker 2: And she advocates that no one can buy assault weapons anymore?
Speaker 1: There is a band?
Speaker 2: Has she advocated everybody must turn in their assault weapons?
Speaker 3: That's fair?
Speaker 1: I don't think she has. Amy says yes she has.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if I'm wrong, Why.
Speaker 4: Do people need assault weapons?
Speaker 1: Well? I thought my question too, Why do people need as.
Speaker 3: An assault weapon? There are legal guns? A mini fourteen?
Speaker 3: I think it's rugor that makes it is does the
Speaker 3: exact same thing as an AR fifteen, but it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: Does does the bullet go? Does it go? Does the
Speaker 1: bullet go as quickly? Is it the same caliber? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Everything to the next.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do this. We can have a great time
Speaker 2: with that one. But you know, the cats, you know,
Speaker 2: they don't eat cats. He corrected that one because that's
Speaker 2: not you know, we should allow the cats are eaten
Speaker 2: and dogs are eaten.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let that one fly. What's the other one.
Speaker 2: There were a few others, and that was and by
Speaker 2: the way, I'm not arguing that it wasn't biased. It
Speaker 2: was biased, I think, but a lot of it was
Speaker 2: fact checking. It's the first time I've ever seen fact
Speaker 2: checking saying, wait a minute, that's not true.
Speaker 4: The point is that they didn't do it on both sides.
Speaker 2: But the point also is, and you're right, but hers
Speaker 2: one or two his which they could have corrected, and
Speaker 2: it wasn't nearly as blatant as the crazy stuff that
Speaker 2: Trump said, I mean saying.
Speaker 3: Stuff and logic. All right, it comes to these things.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go on. It's a buy ban or
Speaker 1: just take on what happens.
Speaker 2: Okay, does has she ever advocated you have assault bands?
Speaker 1: You have assault weapons?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: And she advocates that no one can buy assault weapons anymore,
Speaker 2: there is a band. Has she advocated everybody must turn
Speaker 2: in their assault weapons?
Speaker 3: That's fair.
Speaker 1: I don't think she has. Amy says, yes she has.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4: Why do people need assault weapons?
Speaker 1: Well? I thought my question too, why do people.
Speaker 3: Need an assault weapon? There are legal guns? A Mini
Speaker 3: fourteen I think it's rugor that makes it is does
Speaker 3: the exact same thing as an AR fifteen?
Speaker 1: But it doesn't area does does the bullet go? Does
Speaker 1: it go? Does the bullet go as quickly? Is it
Speaker 1: the same caliber? Exactly? Everything? Next?
Speaker 2: Okay, let's do this. We can have a great time
Speaker 2: with that one. But you know, the cats, you know,
Speaker 2: they don't eat cats. He corrected that one, because that's
Speaker 2: not you know, we should allow the the cats eating
Speaker 2: and dogs are eaten.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let that one fly. Uh, what's the other one?
Speaker 2: There were a few others and that was and by
Speaker 2: the way, I'm not arguing that it wasn't biased. It
Speaker 2: was biased, I think, but a lot of it was
Speaker 2: fact checking. So first time I've ever seen fact checking
Speaker 2: saying wait a minute, that's not true.
Speaker 4: The point is that they didn't do it on both sides.
Speaker 2: But the point also is, and you're right, but hers
Speaker 2: one or two his which he they could have corrected
Speaker 2: and it wasn't nearly as blatant as the crazy stuff
Speaker 2: that Trump said, I mean saying.
Speaker 3: Stuff and logic. All right, it comes to these things.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's go on.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I love screaming with you guys and arguing
Speaker 2: this is my life is wonderful.
Speaker 1: Now, all right, let's take a very late day. It
Speaker 1: is when that happens.
Speaker 4: You want to talk about being on fire?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we have to talk about fires amy Wait
Speaker 2: wait what? Okay, Yeah, we just did the story about
Speaker 2: Trump says he won't participate, and he also said and
Speaker 2: the reason he won't one of the reasons because he
Speaker 2: won the debate, and winners don't debate, only losers ask
Speaker 2: for a rematch, and since he won, that's his statement
Speaker 2: part of it.
Speaker 1: And the other one was that she did not want
Speaker 1: to go on Fox. By the way, Yeah, but let
Speaker 1: me ask you something.
Speaker 2: If you were a Democrat and you were debating, would
Speaker 2: you do a Fox, a Fox town hall or a Fox.
Speaker 1: Debate in front of an audience. In front of a
Speaker 1: Fox audience, that is crazy.
Speaker 3: You would go on every other network.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And by the way, if I were Trump, I would
Speaker 2: not go on CNN in front of an audience.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so so much for that. All right, now let's
Speaker 2: talk fires, Amy.
Speaker 5: Okay, so quick update on the fires. We've got three
Speaker 5: big ones burning. The one in the San Bernardino Mountains
Speaker 5: up around Big Bear Running Springs. That area thirty eight
Speaker 5: thousand acres, almost twenty one percent surrounded. The one that
Speaker 5: started in Tribuca Canyon in Orange County and has since
Speaker 5: moved over into Riverside County is over twenty three thousand
Speaker 5: acres and still five percent surrounded. And then the big
Speaker 5: one that's burning in the state is fifty two thousand acres.
Speaker 5: That's the one that's up near right Wood and Mount Baldy.
Speaker 5: It's zero percent contained. But they are saying that the
Speaker 5: cooler weather, higher humidity, lighter wins, that's all helping to
Speaker 5: stop the fires from spreading more.
Speaker 4: But now they got to try to get lines around
Speaker 4: them and stop them.
Speaker 5: And the guy who is charged with arson in for
Speaker 5: starting the San Bernardino fire is justin Halstenberg. He's now
Speaker 5: facing nine felony charges and he's supposed to be in
Speaker 5: court today to be rained. And the prosecutors are saying
Speaker 5: that he tried three times to start a fire. The
Speaker 5: last one was successful and that fire started near Baseline
Speaker 5: Road in Highland, and they said they found incendiary devices.
Speaker 5: The first two attempts unsuccessful. Again, the third one worked
Speaker 5: and then they found him because automatic license plate readers
Speaker 5: picked up the same vehicle in all three areas.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was watching a news where one of the fire
Speaker 2: captains who was doing a press conference said, arson is
Speaker 2: one of those head scratcher crimes.
Speaker 1: You get nothing out of it.
Speaker 2: You're not stealing money, you're not in a crime of passion.
Speaker 2: It's just there's no reason, I guess, just because you're
Speaker 2: a pyromaniac and you like watching buildings burn and people
Speaker 2: burn up and die and it's just crazy.
Speaker 3: But there's some weird psychology there. There's gotta be yeah there,
Speaker 3: that's yeah.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: So four point seven magnitude earthquake as we know Strutton
Speaker 3: Malibu area yesterday. We were on the air during that,
Speaker 3: making it the fourteenth earthquake sequence of magnitude four point
Speaker 3: zero in southern California this year. That is the most
Speaker 3: since nineteen eighty eight. It's coming Bill seven, Well, it's
Speaker 3: seven twenty.
Speaker 2: We have a seismologist that's joining us from the US
Speaker 2: Geological Survey, and Susan h is her.
Speaker 1: Name, and she's going to explain.
Speaker 2: Why it's important or not important, and does it mean
Speaker 2: something or does it not mean something. And it's really
Speaker 2: up in the air because we are looking at earthquakes.
Speaker 2: I heard Amy that you were still feeling after shocks.
Speaker 4: We just we had one at four fifty six this morning.
Speaker 1: Three quite four felt one yet.
Speaker 4: Well the three point four you might not feel, but
Speaker 4: Dean Sharp said he felt it.
Speaker 2: And where Dean is out where, I forget where he goes.
Speaker 3: I think he's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's.
Speaker 2: Out west, and that's where it was at Malibu, because
Speaker 2: I have friends of mine a matter of fact, that
Speaker 2: people that own Zelman's, Anthony and Lauren, they're in Calabasas
Speaker 2: and they really.
Speaker 1: Felt it and they said I didn't feel it at all.
Speaker 5: All Right, Well, there has been some shaking in the
Speaker 5: south Land, and apparently that rattled some people. Because after
Speaker 5: the four point seven quake that hit at seven twenty
Speaker 5: eight yesterday near Malibu, there were more than twenty thousand
Speaker 5: downloads of the my Shake app in just three hours.
Speaker 4: Of course, now the problem is does it really work?
Speaker 5: Because while we were talking about the earthquake yesterday, that's
Speaker 5: when my Shake app went off, supposed to give you
Speaker 5: like thirty seconds advance warning.
Speaker 2: I'm going to have a seismologist at seven twenty and
Speaker 2: Amy jump in and ask that question if you would
Speaker 2: with her, because that, I think is one hell of
Speaker 2: a question, because the whole point is to warn you
Speaker 2: in advance, because it doesn't do you any good as
Speaker 2: you're flying across the room.
Speaker 1: In a major shaking and.
Speaker 2: All then you're told, guess what you're about to fly
Speaker 2: across the room.
Speaker 1: You're going it just happened, So we'll talk.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to her. Our name is Susan Huff. Susan Huff.
Speaker 3: Well, what if it was warning Amy about the aftershock?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, maybe that was.
Speaker 3: That's where the confusion comes in.
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's why we're going to talk to
Speaker 1: the seismologists.
Speaker 3: Okay, Governor gav News Captain Hansome. Just yesterday signed new
Speaker 3: legislation that would increase penalties for individuals who take damage
Speaker 3: or destroy property while committing any felony full stop. The
Speaker 3: interesting thing is is the ACLU came out against this
Speaker 3: because it disenfranchises black and I hate this term LATINX.
Speaker 5: Maybe it disenfranchises the people who are committing these smash
Speaker 5: and grab robberies.
Speaker 1: Well it does.
Speaker 2: But still anything anything that separates out black Latin Indigenous people,
Speaker 2: notwithstanding socioeconomic standards, what they should do is not mention
Speaker 2: any of that and just talk about socioeconomic levels. However,
Speaker 2: once you dive into it, it's black, Hispanic Indigenous. So
Speaker 2: as always, any law, any criminal law that is applied,
Speaker 2: is going to somehow they're going to are discriminat lying discriminate.
Speaker 2: How about this one? How about this one? And I
Speaker 2: you know, I always make fun of being Jewish, as
Speaker 2: you know, all the financial crime laws that have been passed,
Speaker 2: they discriminate against Jews because the Jews are always the
Speaker 2: one that are ones in prison for financial crime. Statistically speaking, okay,
Speaker 2: now what but.
Speaker 3: Doesn't the acl ACLU doesn't that imply that people are
Speaker 3: color of color are the ones committing the most crimes.
Speaker 1: Not necessarily.
Speaker 2: Not necessarily, they say, the interesting organization, I mean they back.
Speaker 2: My favorite ACLU story is if you remember the Neo
Speaker 2: Nazis marching in Skogee, Illinois.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And this is the community of which they have a
Speaker 2: huge number of Holocaust rorivors. And this was maybe twenty
Speaker 2: five years ago and they asked for a permit to
Speaker 2: march down in Skogie. We're talking about the Neo Nazis,
Speaker 2: and they were denied the permit. ACLU went to court
Speaker 2: and argue they should get the permit. It's first Amendment issue.
Speaker 2: These are for Nazis. So that's what the ACL you
Speaker 2: do does?
Speaker 1: I hate him.
Speaker 5: A warning from Russia, President Putin says allowing Ukraine to
Speaker 5: use long long range missiles to strike inside Russia would
Speaker 5: be seen by Moscow as NATO's direct entry into the war.
Speaker 5: He said, this will mean that NATO countries, the US
Speaker 5: and European countries are at war with Russia, and we
Speaker 5: will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that
Speaker 5: will be posed to US.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is about the fourth time out he has
Speaker 2: said that right if Western arms are used against this,
Speaker 2: that is the West declaring war.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: If Ukrainian troops come into our country using Western weapons,
Speaker 2: that is a declaration of war. Okay, fine, If medium
Speaker 2: range missiles are used against US that were provided by
Speaker 2: the West, or the extension of the range of missiles
Speaker 2: which happened, that was a declaration of war. Now is
Speaker 2: if it allows to use long range missiles by supply
Speaker 2: by NATO, that's a declaration of war. And by the way,
Speaker 2: if Russia thinks that NATO has declared war against Russia,
Speaker 2: what does it do? Does it fight NATO? Does it
Speaker 2: go to the border of Poland and invade Poland?
Speaker 1: What does it do? What do you think?
Speaker 2: Well, how do you think Russia would do in a
Speaker 2: fight against NATO Western Group of nations? Very highly trained forces,
Speaker 2: they do war exercises every year, some of the best,
Speaker 2: actually the best military.
Speaker 1: That exists on the planet. And they're going to go
Speaker 1: to war. And Russia is going to go to war
Speaker 1: with NATO. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2: The only thing the only thing Russia can do realistically
Speaker 2: is drop a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1: That's it. Use nuclear weapons. That'll do it. That's the
Speaker 1: war and is putin that crazy Kim Jong un? Isn't
Speaker 1: that crazy? We think?
Speaker 3: Okay, fingers crossed. New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Kaban
Speaker 3: has resigned, he said just yesterday in a statement marking
Speaker 3: the first high profile departure from Mayor Eric adams administration.
Speaker 3: So if you remember, there was four separate federal investigations
Speaker 3: going on in his office there at the with the
Speaker 3: NYP eed rather and so this departure comes, I don't know,
Speaker 3: just a couple of days after it was first reported
Speaker 3: investigators with the US Attorney's Office for New York the
Speaker 3: Southern Different District had seized a bunch of electronics, phones
Speaker 3: and devices in.
Speaker 2: The like, Yeah, this is this is interesting because there's
Speaker 2: two kinds of corruption when you're dealing under these circumstances.
Speaker 2: One straight out corruption, help me, I'll give you a
Speaker 2: pile of money.
Speaker 1: Here's a bribe.
Speaker 2: The other one involves family members, and that is there's
Speaker 2: just some hinky stuff going on. This is his brother
Speaker 2: who was involved in nightclubs and the enforcement or lack
Speaker 2: of I mean, if anybody is smart, if I were
Speaker 2: in office, I would do one of two things. Not
Speaker 2: let a family member have anything to do with the city,
Speaker 2: or say, my brother is bidding on this and I'm
Speaker 2: recusing myself and make it as public as you possibly can.
Speaker 1: That's the only way around. So you're gonna find out.
Speaker 1: I'm convinced there's all kinds of wrongdoing. And he quit.
Speaker 1: He just said I'm going to be.
Speaker 2: A distraction if he were innocent, If I were innocent,
Speaker 2: I'd fight this all the way down the line, unless
Speaker 2: Eric Adams forces me to resign and fires me, which
Speaker 2: didn't happen.
Speaker 4: Okay, ready to jump back in the game.
Speaker 5: Buy a house hold on Mortgage rates this week have
Speaker 5: fallen to their lowest point since February of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: The thirty year fixed rate averaged six point two percent,
Speaker 5: down from a twenty year high of seven point seventy
Speaker 5: nine percent in October of last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a healthy jump until you realize we used
Speaker 2: to have three percent money, and this still seems astronomically high.
Speaker 3: We're not going back to that three percent, no, never.
Speaker 5: I think I bought my last house at five and
Speaker 5: a half percent in thought, Wow, that's a good rate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's about right. Five and a half percent is
Speaker 1: a decent regular rate.
Speaker 2: But you know, you get twenty years of three percent
Speaker 2: money and all of a sudden, you that's what you're
Speaker 2: used to. And the unfortunate part is that that's aberrational.
Speaker 2: That is. Yeah, you know what you would pay, by
Speaker 2: the way, during the Civil War or right after the
Speaker 2: Civil War, when you would mortgage a peace property, you
Speaker 2: know how much interest you'd pay?
Speaker 1: About five and a half percent.
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, yeah, it's about right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that seems it's about right.
Speaker 1: So the three percent is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: And the nine percent, I don't know if you were
Speaker 2: around during Jimmy Carter years that hit seventeen.
Speaker 1: Percent mortgage rates.
Speaker 2: I mean that was insanity, but that was inflation that
Speaker 2: was truly beyond control.
Speaker 4: I think my parents bought a house when it was
Speaker 4: that high.
Speaker 2: Just crazy, and then they had to do quote some
Speaker 2: kind of creative financing. I don't even know what.
Speaker 1: That was, but it was just completely insane.
Speaker 2: You got good prices, though, if you could buy a
Speaker 2: place for cash, you got a great deal.
Speaker 3: All right, we kind of expected this. An Israeli intelligence commander,
Speaker 3: a lot of critics were coming after or him, saying
Speaker 3: that he played a pivotal role in failing to prevent
Speaker 3: the October seventh attacks. He is residing and he says
Speaker 3: I did not fulfill the task. I was as I
Speaker 3: expected of myself, those at my command and commanders expected me,
Speaker 3: and the citizens of the state that I love so much.
Speaker 2: So what you're not finding in Israel is anybody pointing
Speaker 2: the fingers and saying it's not my fault, it's that
Speaker 2: person's fault over there. It wasn't me, it was my underlings,
Speaker 2: it was everybody is coming to the.
Speaker 1: Table said yep, I failed.
Speaker 2: I failed, including Natanyahu by the way, he said we failed,
Speaker 2: and he won't resign.
Speaker 1: There's no chance.
Speaker 5: Okay, this pilot gets some kudos because he stopped what
Speaker 5: could have been a really really now crash. There was
Speaker 5: pilots on an Alaska air flight Airlines flight in Nashville.
Speaker 5: We're taking off and a Southwest flight crossed the runway,
Speaker 5: so they quick thinking slammed on the brakes and averted
Speaker 5: a crash. And everybody's okay, But wow, how scary it's now.
Speaker 2: How many close calls have we had in recent months.
Speaker 2: I mean, every day there's another close call and just
Speaker 2: just waiting for one of those catastrophes that happened. Not
Speaker 2: so much mid air collisions, but stuff on the runway
Speaker 2: is just completely crazy.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's because of more flights or the
Speaker 3: or is there something I think there?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, there are fewer flights than there
Speaker 2: were because airlines have in fact consolidated their flights into
Speaker 2: fewer airplanes and fuller airplanes. I you know what, it's
Speaker 2: just I think there's the air traffic controllers are working
Speaker 2: too hard.
Speaker 1: There's not enough of them.
Speaker 2: You know. The worst air does master in history were
Speaker 2: two airplanes on the runway crashing into each other, two
Speaker 2: fully loaded seven forty sevens.
Speaker 1: That was in tenor Reef off of Spain.
Speaker 2: They crashed at full tilt to seven forty sevens.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
Speaker 4: So they were all off at the same time.
Speaker 2: I either they were taking off, they could have been,
Speaker 2: but they ran into each other almost head on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or at least one was at speed.
Speaker 2: Going to another runway. I don't remember the exact circumstances,
Speaker 2: but there were. Do you remember that, Amy, I don't
Speaker 2: remember that one.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's because you're not one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: years old.
Speaker 3: Okay, what speed are they going before takeoff? Before you?
Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty two hundred miles an hour?
Speaker 3: All right? Southern California teachers under investigation. The allegations here
Speaker 3: are that he fathered a child with one of his
Speaker 3: students back in the eighties, and there is the possibility
Speaker 3: that he had a sexual relationship with another student around
Speaker 3: the same time. This was an Anaheim and they are
Speaker 3: looking into this. The authorities are looking into this to
Speaker 3: see if there is anything that can be I don't
Speaker 3: think I prosecuted.
Speaker 2: There has to be a statute issue here because this
Speaker 2: is forty years ago. Now, might there be a lawsuit
Speaker 2: with the student against the teacher.
Speaker 1: I think that is. I think that statute has rolled up.
Speaker 2: First, there was a period of time where the statute
Speaker 2: was open and you could sue for any allegation like
Speaker 2: this at any time. That's we're talking of civilly. But
Speaker 2: I think that rolled up. There was a time limit
Speaker 2: on that one too.
Speaker 3: Steve Graves is the name of the teacher who has
Speaker 3: been identified sixty one and was still working in Anaheim
Speaker 3: Union High School District.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was in his early twenty He was
Speaker 1: in his early twenties.
