WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:05.080 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.359 six forty. 3 00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:11.800 Bill handleshow'mo Kelly Infra bill for it. Eon Musk, he 4 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.720 is a superhero to some, he is a super villain 5 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:20.199 to others. But if we talk about Elon Musk, if 6 00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.120 we talk about what's happening to Tesla's, if we talk 7 00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:28.039 about the DOJ response to Tesla's, I think we should 8 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.920 do it without emotion. And I know that's difficult to 9 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:37.039 do because a lot of our politics is laced with emotion. 10 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.320 It animates us in ways where we feel the need 11 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:46.840 to defend individuals, defend elected officials, to defend political parties 12 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.119 with all of our might and all of our emotion. 13 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:52.439 That's where we are today. 14 00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.359 But I want to try something, and that is, let's 15 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.240 see if we can keep the emotion out of it. 16 00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.520 Let's keep the allegiances out, and let's just look at 17 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:07.480 the facts. Attorney General Pam Bondi has declared a Justice 18 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.560 Department crackdown on what she views as politically motivated attacks 19 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:18.079 against Tesla Visa vi Elon Musk quote. Let this be 20 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.719 a warning if you join this wave of domestic terrorism 21 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:27.159 against Tesla properties, the Department justice will put you behind bars. 22 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.519 And we know just in the past few weeks, federal 23 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.519 prosecutors have alleged that a Colorado woman, through some molotov 24 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.519 cocktails at vehicles at a Tesla dealership scrawl the word 25 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.560 Nazi on one of its signs. An Oregon man allegedly 26 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.040 fired bullets and explosives into a dealership and its cars, 27 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.599 and a South Carolina man spray paint and anti Trump 28 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.040 messages on a Tesla charging station parking spot before throwing 29 00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:59.439 five homemade bombs at the chargers, towrding them and their 30 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.319 other intvice that we've seen not only around the country 31 00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.359 but around the world. But let me just focus, hopefully unemotionally, 32 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.360 on what's happening here in America. And there's been a 33 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.240 lot of discussion and even dispute about whether this constitutes 34 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.520 domestic terrorism. I'm here to tell you, and I am 35 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.000 not a fan of Elon Musk, I make no bones 36 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.199 about it. I'm not a fan of Elon Musk or 37 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.439 what he's doing with Doge. But what is happening in 38 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:36.280 response and the vandalism and violence happening in response, there 39 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.520 is a very good argument, a solid argument, I would 40 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.840 say I'm not a lawyer, but I know enough about 41 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.800 these issues I can stay confidently this is pretty much 42 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:53.120 domestic terrorism. You don't have to like Elon Musk, you 43 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.199 don't have to like Pambondy, you don't have to like 44 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:04.039 Donald Trump. But these aren't disgruntled Tesla owners setting their 45 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.639 own cars on fire. It's not like people were setting 46 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.759 there curing coffeemakers on fire or destroying them. It's not 47 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.560 like people destroying their own stuff because they're protesting. Let's 48 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.759 say I don't know Anheuser Busch and trans influencers. This 49 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.439 is something completely different. This is about what is the 50 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:31.439 animating property, what is the animating motivation behind these incidents. 51 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:32.800 And I'm not. 52 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:37.520 Saying that it's George Sorels funded or they're democratic operatives, 53 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.400 like Elon Musk said, I'm just looking at the acts themselves, 54 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.280 not who specifically may be behind them. 55 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:45.520 That's a different conversation. 56 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.599 I'm just saying these acts as far as the definition 57 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.039 of domestic terrorism, there is a strong argument why, because, 58 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.000 as I said, these aren't disgruntled Tesla owners who are 59 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:01.639 mad about the panels slide off their cyber truck. They're 60 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.919 not out there doing these protests in this manner because 61 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.879 they are mad about the quality of the Tesla cars. 62 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:15.400 They are there because they are in opposition to Elon Musk. 63 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:20.879 They are making a political statement and also employing illegal 64 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.839 means and also arguably violent means. When you talk about 65 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:31.160 domestic terrorism, we're talking about acts which are done from 66 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.680 a political standpoint or political motivation, and or to impact 67 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:42.480 people's decisions or inspire fear along political lines. If you're 68 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.600 trying to say we don't want people to buy Tesla products, 69 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.639 and you are employing these methods, as far as for 70 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.800 what I can see, if we look at this unemotionally, 71 00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:58.720 that satisfies the definition of domestic terrorism. It's beyond protesting. 72 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.519 You're in deploying vandalism and other means to discourage people 73 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.160 from supporting Elon Musk or buying Tesla's. Now the flip 74 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.800 side to that is Elon Musk, and I said this 75 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.560 on my show later with Mo Kelly. Elon Musk is 76 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.000 going to have to make a decision and it may 77 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.360 not be fair, but it's a fact. Elon Musk is 78 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.680 the figurehead, president and CEO of Tesla. 79 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.079 He is known. The link is inextricable. 80 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.279 You can't separate Tesla from Elon Musk, and Tesla has 81 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.680 been built up pun intended over the years because of 82 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.360 that Elon Musk association. So you can't separate the two 83 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.319 in people's minds. Now that people want to protest Elon 84 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.240 Musk and this what is being done, which is obviously 85 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:52.319 beyond the boundaries of protesting, is going to harm Tesla. 86 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.000 We've seen it in the stock price, We've seen it 87 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.959 with the company's struggles. More broadly, nothing good is happening 88 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.920 for the company. But that's different. That's separate and distinct 89 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:07.839 from whether whether the vandalism and the violence is considered 90 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.399 domestic terrorism. I would take Pam Bondy at her word. 91 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.920 I believe that not only is she serious about the 92 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.439 forthcoming charges, but I also believe and there's adequate evidence 93 00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.560 to suggest that there is a strong case about anyone 94 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.560 who is charged with domestic terrorism that it will stick. 95 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.639 It's a Bill Handle show a mo Kelly in for 96 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.839 Bill Handle on this Friday Show programming Note. Tim Conway 97 00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.920 Junior will be out at the sixty fifth annual San 98 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:43.199 Juan Capistronto Swallows Day Parade tomorrow at eleven am. The 99 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.959 sixty fifth annual Swallows Day Parade and Marcados Street Fair 100 00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.480 will be held on March twenty second, obviously tomorrow, the 101 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.879 Fiesta de las Colondrina celebrates the return of the Swallows 102 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.480 to the San Juan Capistronto mission. The parade at Marcados 103 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.519 Street Fair offer a full day of family fund celebrating 104 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.920 the Old West and the return of the Swallows from 105 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.439 their winter home in Arcanthena. Not only will Conway be there, 106 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.680 but the world famous Budweiser Clydesdale's will be there too. 107 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:16.560 Visit Swallows Day Parade dot org for details and street closures. 108 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:18.560 Now let's talk about Nick Cannon. 109 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.680 Don't want to spend too much time on him, but 110 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.959 are gonna spend the necessary amount of time. The masked 111 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.920 singer is host and quote unquote father. I put that 112 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.399 in quotes because I have a difference of opinion with 113 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.480 the definition of father than Nick Cannon. 114 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.000 But he's the quote unquote father of twelve. 115 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:42.079 And said, get this, he's not done with expanding his family. 116 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.199 And during a conversation on his week We Play in 117 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:52.399 Spades podcast, Channing Crowder, one of the co hosts, spoke 118 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:58.000 to Nick Cannon about possibly getting a vasectomy and argued 119 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:02.639 for it. Nick Cannon is not down with it. In fact, 120 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.639 he said I'm feeling judged. And when he was asked 121 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:10.319 why he wants more children, Nick Cannon replied, why not. Well, 122 00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:13.399 that's a good question that I'm going to have a 123 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:14.319 great answer to. 124 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:15.639 This is why not. 125 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:23.480 Fatherhood is not about affordability. The answer and response that 126 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.680 I get to Nick Cannon as to why it's quote 127 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.680 unquote okay for him to have all these kids, why 128 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.720 is it's none of our business? They usually point to 129 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.679 Nick Cannon as a MULTII millionaire, that he has all 130 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:41.679 sorts of funds available to raise kids. And I am 131 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:44.480 someone who misses my father to this day, who passed 132 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:48.639 away in March this month of twenty twenty two, will 133 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:55.440 tell you fatherhood is about availability, not affordability. My father 134 00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:00.279 was always available to me. He was my basketball coach, coach, 135 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:04.919 he was my flag football coach. He was my music instructor. 136 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.720 He was someone who taught me how to be a man, 137 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.399 as far as how to comport myself, when to stand 138 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.159 when a woman comes into a room, on the crict 139 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.559 side of which to walk with a woman. If you're 140 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.639 on the street, you walk on the street side, how 141 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:25.120 to manage my emotions, how to deal with adversity. 142 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:27.639 That is fatherhood. 143 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.080 It's not whether you have enough money to cut a 144 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.960 check for mom to have on a given day, week, 145 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:40.840 or month. Nick Cannon may have twelve kids, and in 146 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.600 his mind he's okay to have more because of his narcissism, 147 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:51.519 but he cannot seriously argue he is a father and 148 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:57.080 available to all of these children. Does not matter how 149 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:01.879 well intentioned he may think he is. It doesn't mean 150 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:04.960 that just because you show up for birthdays and an 151 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:11.320 occasional school play that you're actually providing the necessary support 152 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.360 as a father. For me, it's much more than being 153 00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.919 a sperm donor. It's much more than being the financier 154 00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.840 or the corporate underwriter. For all these kids, you have 155 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:27.639 to be available for them, and also you're responsible to 156 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:31.799 them and for them. Can't possibly do it. He can't 157 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.039 do it right now. And this is assuming, going back 158 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.120 to affordability, that he will be able to maintain his 159 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.639 level of income at least for the next eighteen years 160 00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:44.360 or so. He has different and competing interests, and I 161 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.399 don't care personally whether he has in a form of 162 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:51.720 an agreement with the mothers of these children. It's unfair 163 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.799 to the children. I know because I know what it's 164 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.759 like to have an available father. I know what these 165 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.639 children are missing out on because they come home and 166 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.919 more nights than not, there is not a father there 167 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.679 to check on them, to check on their homework, to 168 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.759 just see how they're doing, to be there for them 169 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:19.279 and show them what it means to be available, because 170 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:24.080 let's not forget they are learning, especially the male children, 171 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:28.279 they're learning what fatherhood is or supposed to be through 172 00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.799 the examples of Nick Cannon, and if he's never around, 173 00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.639 they're obviously not learning them or at least they're learning 174 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.320 what I believe to be is a false version of fatherhood. 175 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.080 You have to be available and for those who continue 176 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:45.240 to support Nick Cannon and I have to be very 177 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:49.360 delicate with this issue full disclosure. I know one of 178 00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.360 the mothers of his children. In fact, she used to 179 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:58.200 work for iHeartRadio LA, so I know. Put it this way, 180 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.000 I'm a little bit more knowledgeable about the general day 181 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.039 to day of how Nick Cannon spreads his time and 182 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.519 also spreads his resources, as it were, than some people. 183 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:15.279 And I'm not trying to be disrespectful I care about 184 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.159 not only the children, but one person who is involved 185 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.639 with him. And I know, definitively no doubt in my 186 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.200 mind that these kids, as they get older, will find 187 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.639 out on their own. They will realize on their own 188 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:33.080 that they have been cheated out of having an actual father. 189 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.600 It doesn't mean that they will lack for anything as 190 00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:39.919 far as physical needs. It doesn't mean that they won't 191 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.559 have clothes on their back, or they won't have food 192 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.919 on the table. I'm not talking about any of that. 193 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.240 That is important, don't get me wrong, But it's secondary 194 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.440 or even tertiary. It is not at the top of 195 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:56.000 the list of what makes the man be an actual father. 196 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:59.080 I had an actual father, and here's the irony of it, 197 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:04.279 grew up without his father, who died when he was five, 198 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:07.960 So I've never met my paternal grandfather, and my father 199 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:13.120 somehow managed to become a meaningful impact on my life 200 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.200 without having that role model. I say that to say 201 00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.759 it's not impossible. But he, into his dying day, made 202 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:25.080 it clear that he was always aware of his own 203 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:29.519 father's absence. It's something that bothered him, It's something that 204 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.639 plagued him, and it's something that he swore that he 205 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:38.080 did not ever want to have repeated in his subsequent 206 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:42.639 children's lives. Nick Cannon is all about himself. He's only 207 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:47.360 thinking about having more children because it fills his need 208 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.639 to satisfy his ego. But I wish his ego also 209 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.759 considered his children, who he says he's a father to 210 00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.960 when he really is not. We're getting closer in clar 211 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.600 to the weekend. If you didn't know, I talk about 212 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:04.159 this on my show later with Mokelly. 213 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:05.799 Often. I love to cruise. 214 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.240 I've been on maybe I don't know six or seven cruises, 215 00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.879 been to the Caribbean twice, Mediterranean Cruise slash European Cruise, 216 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:19.159 Mexican Riviera twice. Going to be cruising probably either in Africa, 217 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:22.799 off the coast of Africa or Dubai in the next 218 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.159 three or four years. We usually planned them years out. 219 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.919 My point is I have enough experience with cruises that 220 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.519 I know some things about them, some things you should do, 221 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.320 should not do, would never do. And when I came 222 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:38.159 across this story, I said, how in the hell is 223 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:43.360 this even possible. There was this cruise ship, Canards Queen 224 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.879 Anne cruise ship. It was like its maiden voyage and 225 00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.519 it's one hundred and eleven nights around the world. It 226 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:53.279 began in January in Germany and it saw the ship 227 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:57.840 traveling between Darwin, Australia and Manila in the Philippines last week, 228 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:02.480 passing through some questionable areas and prior to navigating these 229 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:07.679 questionable areas, the captain issued an on board safety warning. 230 00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.360 In a video of a loudspeaker announcement to passengers, it 231 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:15.120 was made very clear. Passengers were told over the loudspeaker 232 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.600 that the external promenade decks would be closed overnight and 233 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.159 only essential open deck lights would remain on to minimize 234 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.879 the ship's visibility. What and passengers were also asked to 235 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.279 turn off their stateroom lights when not needed, to keep 236 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.879 their curtains drawn. And mind you, people have paid like 237 00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.440 tens of thousands of dollars for this one hundred and 238 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.399 eleven night trip. It's a luxury cruise ship and it 239 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.919 can accommodate some three thousand guests. Well, why did they 240 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.679 have to turn off the lights and close their curtains? 241 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:49.519 While the waters in between Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines 242 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:54.799 have been notorious for kidnapping for ransom incidents, they are 243 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.879 worried about pirates boarding the cruise ship. 244 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:00.279 And let me just tell you. 245 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.559 If there is a possibility, not even a probability, a possibility, 246 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.360 that you're on a cruise ship and you have to 247 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.320 turn off the lights because pirates might be out there pirrating, 248 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.200 your ass is on the wrong damn cruise ship. There 249 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.240 is no way in the world that you should ever 250 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.480 be on a cruise ship anywhere, at any time that 251 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:23.080 might have to deal with the issue of pirates. And 252 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.759 I wonder how much this cruise line, which I've never 253 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:32.080 been on, was hiding from passengers. I know I would 254 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.200 be sick to my stomach if someone said, hey, uh, 255 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:37.600 best of all, Kelly, and stay round three eighty two, 256 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:42.240 could you please close your curtains because we might have 257 00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:44.919 some pirates out there, and Johnny Depp might be one 258 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:46.799 of them, so please turn off all your lights. 259 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.200 Amy King, I know you've been on some cruises. You 260 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.159 might be going on some cruises. 261 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.960 As piratesing piratecy ever been a part of the equation? 262 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:56.399 Now? 263 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:00.519 No, that would freak me out. 264 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.399 Yeah, did they just drop that on the passengers? And 265 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:04.319 it just seems like you did. 266 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:06.920 It's like, hey, you know, we had shuffle board playing 267 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.160 on the lido deck tonight, but uh, we're. 268 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.079 Gonna have to cancel that. Please turn off your lights 269 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:13.079 and remain quiet. 270 00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:13.519 Okay. 271 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.920 We'll tell you though about one kind of freaky thing 272 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:20.559 that happened during our cruise. We went to the Mediterranean, huh, 273 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.240 and we went to go see. 274 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.799 The pyramids, oh, in Giza, right. 275 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.640 Yeah. 276 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.359 From the port, it's about a three hour three and 277 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:34.279 a half hour bus ride. So we take a bunch 278 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:36.759 of people from the ship, get on our bus, and 279 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.480 off we go through the desert to Giza, and we 280 00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.599 would come to these small towns, but we never stopped. 281 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.240 We just kept going and we're like, well, that's so weird. 282 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:50.960 And then we were like they were like, oh yeah, 283 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.319 they do that for buses and we were like okay. 284 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:58.559 And then on the way back it was dark, so 285 00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:02.240 we could see the lights of the escorts that we 286 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.880 had that were basically going ahead of us to clear 287 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:08.799 the path, so we didn't have to stop. 288 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.559 And we said, well, what is going on here? 289 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.599 And they said, ah, well that's because if you stop 290 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.359 the bus, they can get on and kidnap you. 291 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.880 Yeah, and there are some questionable places in the world. 292 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:25.519 I'm not denying that. But if you have to pay 293 00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:28.680 the money that you had to pay Amy King, the 294 00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.920 money that I had to pay, and I only like 295 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:34.119 to do seven day cruises, I couldn't imagine being on 296 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:35.799 a ship for a third of a year. 297 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:37.799 I just know, No, that's a bit long. 298 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.519 But I still would research the path, like I'm not 299 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.680 going to get on a cruise close to hurricane season, obviously, 300 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.640 and there are some cruise itineraries during hurricane season in 301 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.240 the Caribbean. Don't ask me why, but there are. I'm 302 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.799 not doing it. This is another example. If you know 303 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:59.279 anything about that portion of the world around the Philippines, 304 00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.000 and you know that that is a pirate lane, if 305 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:07.759 you will, do not ever get on that cruise ship ever, 306 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:13.079 because clearly the cruise line was hiding it from the passengers. 307 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.079 As far as the possibility of there might be an 308 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.799 issue of getting kidnapped, that's not something I want to 309 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:21.440 think about actively on vacation. 310 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.440 It would really spoil the vacation. 311 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.160 I think it might. 312 00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:27.759 It might, you know, it could bring it to an 313 00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:31.799 untimely end along with your life. But that's just one 314 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.039 cruise tip from me. I'm quite sure Debra Mark may 315 00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:38.359 have some more during the John Colebelt Show later on. 316 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.799 But I will say this. 317 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:43.680 If you are someone who hasn't gone on a cruise, 318 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.799 highly recommend. It's a good way that you can sample 319 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.519 a number of places without dedicating your whole vacation to 320 00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.160 one place. Like for example, one of my Caribbean cruises, 321 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.640 we went to Aruba. I was thoroughly underwhelmed. Not really 322 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.039 care for a Ruba. We'll never go back again in life, 323 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.799 but I really love Quartersow, which is just off the 324 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.039 coast of Venezuela, and I would love to go back 325 00:20:10.039 --> 00:20:14.319 there again. Cruising gives you the option and opportunity to 326 00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.480 see a lot of places you would not necessarily think 327 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.039 of spending a lot of time with you maybe inport 328 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.119 for just a day, but it's a good way to 329 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.440 sample the world, and I've been able to sample cities 330 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.000 in Europe. I want to be able to sample more 331 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:32.200 in Asia obviously, want to get to Africa, bend down 332 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.119 to Mexico, and you get to see more of the 333 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:35.880 world that way. I don't want to spend one hundred 334 00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:38.079 eleven days on a ship and also deal with pirates, 335 00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.839 but there are ways you can get around that. Hopefully, 336 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.000 it's the Bill Handle show. I'm O Kelly and for Bill. 337 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:46.680 Just want to give you this little tidbit. You know, 338 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:50.279 yesterday I was talking about how marijuana there was some 339 00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:56.440 unintended consequences of legalization. I was for decriminalization, not legalization 340 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.640 for recreational use, and people usually come back and me 341 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.440 and say, mo, it's safer than alcohols, like yeah, yeah, yeah, 342 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:06.839 blah blah blah. But now we have more states whereths legalized, 343 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.720 we have more data and more history with people using 344 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:13.480 it over a longer period of time. We have a 345 00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:17.119 better sense of the long term implications of marijuana use. 346 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.480 And here is just the headline. New research and covers 347 00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.000 alarming heart risks for marijuana users. 348 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.519 Check this out. Cannabis users under the age of fifty 349 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:30.599 like Shendon Farren, could face a six time higher risk 350 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:34.279 of heart attack compared to you non users like Gary Hoffman. 351 00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:37.279 Oh, that's so sweet that you said I was under fifty. 352 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.240 That was kind. 353 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.519 That was like as much of a compliment as I'm 354 00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:42.640 ever going to get from you, And I appreciate that 355 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:44.119 I noticed it, and I appreciate it. 356 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:46.680 That's all I got for you, Shan, That's all I have. 357 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.839 A quick question based on what you just said. 358 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.319 Sure, the weed of our youth, not that I don't 359 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:53.359 think you ever smoked weed. 360 00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:53.640 You don't. 361 00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:55.839 You appear to me to be a straight edged person. 362 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.400 But the weed of our youth, I would argue, was 363 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:04.599 more data injurious than a couple of cocktails. Like I 364 00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:09.279 couldn't operate a vehicle after smoking weed when I was 365 00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:11.440 in high school, Like there was no way in hell 366 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:13.759 I'd have a couple of course lights and I was 367 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:15.079 probably okay. 368 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.119 As opposed to the weed.
