Can't hear you microphone off? 60 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:58.360 No? 61 00:02:59.159 --> 00:02:59.400 Hello? 62 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:04.000 Say all right, and good morning. Okay. 63 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.319 We have obviously a lot going on today, a lot 64 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.080 of politics going on today we're less than two weeks 65 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.919 out of the presidential and also a lot of local politics. 66 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.159 On Friday, I'm going to do. 67 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.240 Which I do before every election, certainly every major election, 68 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.439 and has to give you my voting guide. 69 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.879 Now before we do that on Friday, I'm going. 70 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.599 To go through some of the props and maybe some 71 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:33.280 of the elections, and certainly the presidential which matters not 72 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.960 a whit here in California because it's a blue it's 73 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.199 the bluest of blue states in the country, so it's 74 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.919 an automatic. But what the general rules continue on and 75 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.879 that is my voting guide will be up there. And 76 00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.800 the disclaimer that you hear on every supplement that you 77 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:58.680 have ever seen commercials is this is not intended to cure, diagnose, 78 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.280 or treat any disease. Right when you buy Bill Ginko 79 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.719 or whatever the hell it is, the same thing goes 80 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.759 for the voting guide. Okay, Yeah, the disclaimer of the 81 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:13.599 voting guide is this voting guide is not intended to cure, diagnose, 82 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:19.000 or treat any political disorder. And the bottom line is, 83 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.560 if you follow my voting guide, you are fired as 84 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.240 a KFI listener. It's that simple. It is for informational 85 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.079 purposes only. It's to let you know how I am 86 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:31.839 going to vote. 87 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.160 And in no way I'm going to. 88 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.759 Ask you how or what to vote or pay attention 89 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:39.959 to what I'm doing. That's one of the things I 90 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.920 am fanatic about, is anybody telling me how to vote, 91 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.800 or anybody telling you how to vote. 92 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.279 If you want to be crazy, that's your business. 93 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.839 And there's plenty to be crazy about this election cycle. 94 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.480 Okay, So with that. 95 00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.560 In mind, let's do it. We've got a lot of news, 96 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.639 and let's start with handle on the news, Amy and 97 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.560 Me No Neil Today lead story. 98 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:10.399 Another Donald Trump's story. 99 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.839 It really is impressive as to how many former Trump 100 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.439 allies and employees are coming out after him. This is 101 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.959 the former Chief of Staff and Secretary of Homeland Security, 102 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.639 John Kelly, who has come out, My god, as he 103 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.600 has come out and said right out Trump is an authoritarian, 104 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.600 admires people who are dictators, is a fascist, I mean 105 00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:43.720 really harsh stuff and effective, and says he's simply unfit 106 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.759 to be president. We're not talking about the policy now. 107 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:48.879 We're not talking about policy. As a matter of fact. 108 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.600 Kelly says, in certain cases he agrees with Trump's policy. 109 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:55.600 It's just the man he is. He doesn't fall with 110 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.199 the rules. He thinks he's above the constitution. This is 111 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:06.000 Kelly's view, and frankly is frightened of him. He said 112 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.319 Trump never accepted the fact that he wasn't the most 113 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.399 powerful man in the world he wanted to, and he 114 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.839 never accepted the fact that there was any limit to 115 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.480 his ability to do anything. 116 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.759 He wanted, any time he wanted. 117 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:25.040 And he once talked about how he wished that his 118 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.079 generals acted like German generals and later clarified specifically Hitler's generals. 119 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:31.920 And I want to say something about this, Okay. 120 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.319 I don't know if you've ever read about Irwin Rommel, 121 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.160 one of the great generals who were two who was 122 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.759 killed or forced commit suicide because he was part of 123 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.079 the plot to kill Hitler and he was the Desert 124 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.199 Fox in North Africa. 125 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.040 He led the German forces. 126 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.680 The guy was absolutely brilliant, one of the great military 127 00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:56.240 minds of the twentieth century, one. 128 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.439 Of Hitler's generals admired. 129 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.839 So, yeah, you have to get a little bit deeper 130 00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.079 into all of these statesmens. 131 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.480 There are statements that are made, but that's politics in general. 132 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.240 Okay, By the way, for those people that are arguing 133 00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:15.920 that I am defending him saying that he admires Hitler's generals, 134 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.480 I just explained why that is and how you have 135 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.480 to go a little bit deeper than just a simple 136 00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.639 statement across the board on my dad.

We don't know what he 182 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.480 died of, but that's off young. 183 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:01.200 Yeah. 184 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.159 So he was working in the broadcast booth right up 185 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.200 until right before the playoffs, and then they announced that 186 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.440 he was stepping back and wouldn't be doing announcing during 187 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:13.360 the playoffs and that was so that was just a 188 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:14.879 week or two ago, and said he was going to 189 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:16.399 be in the hospital, and that was kind of the 190 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.320 last that we had heard. 191 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:19.720 Yeah, and when he broadcasts, he was right next to 192 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:20.399 Vin Scully. 193 00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.320 And when you go to Dodger Stadium, and if you 194 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.759 were ever go to the or the news or the 195 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:32.759 sports casting booth up there, which of course you never will, 196 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.440 it's he was right next to Vin Scully doing the 197 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.919 Spanish version or adding to the I think he was 198 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:42.840 the color man or something of the Spanish version. And 199 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:45.639 that door was locked. You couldn't get in there. The 200 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.519 only place where you couldn't get in door was locked. 201 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.720 Thought a little inside baseball. 202 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:54.240 I thought i'd share with you inside base Yeah. 203 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:58.080 Okay, the US is pushing Israel again, and Israel doesn't 204 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.360 seem to be listening. US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln 205 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.639 has urged top Israeli officials to capitalize on the killing 206 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.360 of Hamas leader yah Yah Sinwar's death to get the 207 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.840 hostages freed and bring the war to a close. Blincoln 208 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:16.519 was making his how many visits has he been to No? 209 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.799 I love it, but so far no real evidence that 210 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.240 either release of hostages or an end to the war 211 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:24.440 is within reach. 212 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:27.360 Now, I'll give you a couple of reasons where the trumpet. 213 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.559 Excuse me, where the Biden administration is just way off 214 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.080 on this. Oh boy, now we have a chance. 215 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.320 We're really going to take advantage of the death of 216 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.159 yah Ya Sinhar. 217 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:39.279 Know why, because for Israel, it's just keeping on killing 218 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.559 as many as Hamas leaders as possible. 219 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.360 That's it. And it's a question of either sorry about that. 220 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.799 Outside it's a question of either degrading which it has done, 221 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.919 Hamas trying to eliminate it, which will never happen. And 222 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:56.360 then Hamas is scrambling because of course its leadership, its 223 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.399 ability to fight has been degraded, its ability to govern 224 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.759 and has been rate it. But it doesn't stop anybody's thinking. 225 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.159 It's all going to be exactly the same. Israel wants 226 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.360 to kill Hamas, Hamas wants to kill Israel, and Israel's 227 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.080 just doing a better job of knocking off Hamas by, 228 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.840 for example, decimating all of Gaza. That's one way of 229 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.799 doing it. And so we continue on. Nothing's going to 230 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.720 change other than there's no cinowar. Yeah, yeah, cinoar, and 231 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:26.000 wake up in the morning. Okay, who's next? 232 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.639 Oh I don't know. 233 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.840 They took it. They've taken those people out. So now 234 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:30.919 let's go to the third tier, which is where it's 235 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:31.759 going to take out too. 236 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:32.840 Nothing changes. 237 00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:36.919 Juliani's about to be homeless, kind of. 238 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:39.519 Oh, it's a good story. Let me close the window here. 239 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.240 Okay, obviously I'm broadcasting at home, but there's you know, 240 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.399 some guys with motorcycles going up down the three You 241 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:45.320 wanted to go ahead. 242 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.080 And talk, and you're going to close the window. 243 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.639 I'm going to close within and probably pee at the 244 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.960 same time. So I maybe don't do that. 245 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.919 That's going to take too long. 246 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:52.000 Okay, okay. 247 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.200 Ten months after a jury awarded two Georgia election workers 248 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.360 nearly one hundred and fifty million dollars in a defamation 249 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:03.919 law super against former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a federal judge 250 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:08.639 ruled yesterday that the former attorney for former President Trump 251 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.080 has to fork over his luxurious New York apartment and 252 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.360 other valuables. Giuliani had previously tried to sell the apartment 253 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:16.879 for about six million dollars. 254 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.440 But instead he gets to give it to the Georgia 255 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:19.240 election workers. 256 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:19.919 Yeah. 257 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.360 It's one of the most interesting parts about this, and 258 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.360 I have talked to people who know Giuliani, is that 259 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.879 after all of this after he has been disbarred, after 260 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.600 he has lost his radio show that he had in 261 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.480 New York and his advertisers, after he is losing all 262 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:42.200 of his real estate and basically enable or unable to 263 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:42.799 make a living. 264 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:44.320 He's still a true believer. 265 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:49.519 If you ask him, was this worthwhile, He'll go absolutely, 266 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.200 Just what does that tell you? 267 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.679 That he's nuts? He won't even be able to afford 268 00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.120 the hair dye anymore. 269 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.039 That was still one of the most bizarre things I 270 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.720 have ever seen at a press conference Dallas. But sween 271 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:07.639 he was sweating and his hair dye was dripping down 272 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:08.080 his face. 273 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:09.039 Yeah, very strong. 274 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.559 Yeah, Gascone's decision is days away. Last La County District 275 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.120 Attorney George Gascon says that he's going to make a 276 00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:22.639 decision on the possible re sentencing of the Menendez brothers 277 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.960 by the end of the week. And of course he's 278 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.080 been looking at what is being called new evidence tied 279 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:32.600 to Eric and Lyle Menendez killing their parents back in 280 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.399 nineteen eighty nine. They say there's evidence that support the 281 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.320 brother's claims that they were sexually abused by their father, 282 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.639 which basically prompted them to kill The evidence. 283 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.279 Is one letter that. 284 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:50.039 Lyle Menandez wrote to a friend eight months before the 285 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:55.320 murder saying, he's going referencing to his dad, He's going 286 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.200 to do it again. I'm frightened he's going to do 287 00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.600 it again. He comes home at night and he's talking 288 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.879 about the same sexual abuse, which during the first trial 289 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.519 they went through the sexual abuse and the reasons for 290 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.840 killing their appearents over and over again, and which is 291 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.600 why the jury hung the first time out. You know, 292 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.200 there was no verdict and they were given the jury 293 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:21.039 could have in fact said manslaughter, which probably would have happened. 294 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.759 Instead they got first degree murder, even the death penalty 295 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.840 was asked for same thing. Now, the second trial, same 296 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.200 judge eliminated all of that kind of evidence to be 297 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:36.480 allowed in. It was a truncated case. Evidence was curtailed. 298 00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:40.080 They couldn't bring in any of that. For example, the 299 00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:45.080 battered woman syndrome concept. The judge basically ruled, if you 300 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:50.559 are not a woman, you cannot claim the battered sexual 301 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:53.080 syndrome and you can't do it. And the jury was 302 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:57.919 only given two possibilities murder or acquittal. And that's the 303 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.559 issue here because had it been man slaughter, because they 304 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:02.360 were abused. 305 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:03.600 Very few people doubt that. 306 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:08.000 Had it they've been accused and convicted of manslaughter because 307 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.600 they did admit to the murder, they would have gotten 308 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.960 fifteen years, twenty years. They've been in jail for thirty 309 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:18.600 five years. So I think there's going to be a 310 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:23.080 resentencing hearing. I believe that's the case, unless George Josh 311 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.080 Scone wants to show everybody he's a hard ass and 312 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.000 tries to prove it. 313 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:29.039 Amy O'Neil and me. 314 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:35.799 The taxman's coming. The IRS has released its IF inflation 315 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:39.320 adjusted tax brackets for twenty twenty five. Of course that 316 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.320 means that that applies to your taxes that are doing 317 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.200 twenty twenty six. But the adjustments are the smallest increases 318 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.480 we've seen in four years. The income threshold for each 319 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.840 tax bracket is going to go up by about two 320 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.600 point eight percent in the new year. That's compared to 321 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:56.399 five point four percent for twenty twenty four and seven 322 00:16:56.440 --> 00:16:59.799 percent for twenty twenty three, and they're making a smaller 323 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.960 in crise increase as inflation eases. 324 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.119 Yeah, we have to remember that not only do so 325 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.440 security payments go up with inflation, but also your tax 326 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.000 bracket has to go up because let's say the mass 327 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:16.960 the maximum tax bracket is one hundred thousand dollars. Well, 328 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.799 that may not change, but if you look at inflation, 329 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.839 it should be one hundred and three thousand dollars next year, 330 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:26.880 or one hundred and five thousand or one hundred and 331 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.240 ten thousand next year. So this is simply keeping up 332 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:29.839 with inflation. 333 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:31.279 And the bottom. 334 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.559 Line is, and this I think you have to give 335 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.200 former President Trump a lot of credit for this, is 336 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:44.640 that your income, your effective tax rate, your standard deduction 337 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.240 is such that it's in most cases you don't even 338 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.799 start itemizing because your standard dejection is so high. And 339 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.400 that's good news for a lot of people. And that 340 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.759 was Trump who did that, by the way. And by 341 00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:02.000 the way, another by away is that under the new 342 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:07.079 tax bracket, if Kamala Harris comes in, everybody will be 343 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.160 under the maximum tax bracket. If you make more than 344 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:13.119 four thousand dollars a year. That's just I shouldn't leave 345 00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.720 get prepared, all right. 346 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.319 Doe admits he did it. 347 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.400 Orange County Supervisor soon to be former Orange County Supervisor 348 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:27.400 Andrew Doe has agreed to resign and plead guilty to 349 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.200 accepting more than five hundred fifty thousand dollars in bribes 350 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:35.039 to direct millions of dollars to family connected nonprofit. So 351 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.519 Doe voted to approve millions of dollars in COVID nineteen 352 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:43.079 relief funds to a nonprofit without disclosing that it was 353 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.759 connected to his daughter. And then he funneled some of 354 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:50.519 that money to his family and helped him buy homes. 355 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.839 And I was involved in his campaign, well, not involved, 356 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:55.839 but I knew him. I was introduced to him, I 357 00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:03.240 interviewed him. Seemed a very smart guy, an immigrant from 358 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.720 I think he is a Vietnamese immigrant. 359 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.519 And he got nailed. He got nailed on this. You 360 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:12.400 can't do that stuff. You can't. So we'll see if 361 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:13.440 he does prison time or not. 362 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.200 Well, Israel keeps cutting off the head of the snake. 363 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.440 They've got another one. Israel said yesterday that one of 364 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.480 its air strikes outside Bea Route earlier this month killed 365 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:30.279 a Hesbolah official who was widely expected to replace Hezbolah's 366 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:33.400 longtime leader, who was killed by an Israeli air strike 367 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.599 last month. There's no immediate confirmation from Hezbolah, but Israel 368 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:43.720 says that it killed Hashem Stapfhadeen in early October, in 369 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.599 a strike that also killed other Hezbolah leaders, like twenty 370 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.599 five of them. Saphadin was expected to succeed Hassan Nasralla. 371 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.400 So they're going after not only a hanchos, but the 372 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.359 assistant managers who are lying to be hanchos. 373 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:00.000 And this is Israel. 374 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.559 I mean, they finally said we've had it, We're done, 375 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:11.720 and his blah. They launched missiles right after Israel goes 376 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:16.960 into Gaza for no other reason other than to show 377 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:20.119 solidarity to Hamas and Gaza. 378 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:22.839 Okay, look what's costing them on this one. 379 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:25.079 You know, at some point someone's gonna wake up and go, 380 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:28.200 maybe this wasn't worthwhile. I wonder how many people that 381 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.119 are in Gaza are saying, you know, maybe that attack 382 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:35.079 October seventh wasn't such a good idea. And now we're 383 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:39.839 waiting the attack on Iran is Israel is promised and 384 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:40.839 will be happening. 385 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:43.599 It's not a good time to be a leader. 386 00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:46.920 And by the way, in bey Route they don't have 387 00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.640 the tunnels that they have in Gaza. There are no 388 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.359 tunnels for these guys to hide under. 389 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:52.920 And as soon as. 390 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.920 Israel knows where they are and their intelligence is superb boom. 391 00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.279 You know there's someone else. As you said, the head 392 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.839 of the snake. Its cut off. All I do one 393 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:02.680 more before the break. 394 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.759 Look up in the sky, here comes your taxi. No, 395 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.359 I'm really serious about this. The FAA has published new 396 00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.519 rules that it calls the final piece of the puzzle 397 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:19.039 toward allowing half helicopter, half airplane electric taxis, actually electric 398 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:23.359 air taxis to start buzzing around the skies. The rules 399 00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:27.279 eight hundred and eighty pages of special regulations that spell 400 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:29.359 out how the pilots are going to learn the new 401 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.759
