Speaker 4: Their salads alone fantastic.
Speaker 2: All right, I'll buy that. All right, guys, you ready
Speaker 2: to do it, Let's do it.
Speaker 3: It's time for Handle on the News on a foody Friday,
Speaker 3: no Trump Friday. As a matter of fact, of course,
Speaker 3: we start with Trump duds, but only for this one,
Speaker 3: except well it's only in the news. We don't do
Speaker 3: segments today. So News with Amy Neil and Me lead story. Now,
Speaker 3: if you remember Project twenty twenty five, which lays out
Speaker 3: this very conservative agenda, I mean insanely conservative agenda, which
Speaker 3: was created for the purposes of the Trump administration to
Speaker 3: say this.
Speaker 4: Is what you have to do.
Speaker 3: And the Democrats went perserk on this, and the moderate
Speaker 3: Republicans went to Berzerk, and Trump said, oh no, I'm
Speaker 3: not going to follow it. No, yes, please, that's just advisory. Well,
Speaker 3: he just named and Senate confirmed the architect of Project
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, Russell Vott as the white House budget director. Now,
Speaker 3: to be fair, he was a budget director the first
Speaker 3: time out, and then when Biden came in, strangely enough,
Speaker 3: Biden didn't keep him, and then they wrote Project twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. So we have a super conservative budget director
Speaker 3: white House Budge a correct director. But you know, it's
Speaker 3: the president's call. It's always the president's call as to
Speaker 3: what happens.
Speaker 1: Maybe Project twenty twenty five came out of a jilted
Speaker 1: lover like he got booted from Biden, so he goes,
Speaker 1: I'm going to write the most anti Biden thing in
Speaker 1: the whole world.
Speaker 3: It's we'll see how much a Project twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: is incorporated into the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: I think a lot.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm the man promised he was going to blow
Speaker 3: up the federal government, got elected, and he's blowing up
Speaker 3: the federal government.
Speaker 2: Oh what a shocker, folks. Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 5: The plaintiffs may have gone too far. According to a judge.
Speaker 6: US bankruptcy judge has blocked a settlement between the families
Speaker 6: who have sued Alex Jones from Info Wars over his
Speaker 6: false claims that the twenty twelve Sandy Hook Elementary School
Speaker 6: shooting didn't happen. The judge says that their attempt to
Speaker 6: divide up Alex Jones's assets exceeds the court's authority. Families
Speaker 6: who sued Jones were nearly one point three billion dollars
Speaker 6: in a Connecticut court, and then another fifty million was
Speaker 6: awarded in courts in Texas.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Here is the issue.
Speaker 3: The fact that there are different states doesn't mean anything,
Speaker 3: because this is a federal issue. Is that one of
Speaker 3: the parties had been dismissed, and the judge said, you
Speaker 3: cannot settle with a party that's already been dismissed as
Speaker 3: part of a bankruptcy.
Speaker 2: I can't do it. You can't do it.
Speaker 4: So wait, what does that mean?
Speaker 3: Okay, well, the party was dismissed a party, It actually
Speaker 3: was the free speech systems. One judge of one of
Speaker 3: Alex Stone's entities that was also sued. That entity was
Speaker 3: dismissed in bankruptcy court for some technical reasons whatever it was,
Speaker 3: or it wasn't.
Speaker 4: Close, and they were trying to get money out of that, and.
Speaker 3: They had read the entity had agreed they were settling.
Speaker 2: They settled in.
Speaker 3: The judge said, you can't settle with a company that
Speaker 3: has filed for bankruptcy and has already been discharged.
Speaker 2: That is the issue. Makes sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I think they should squeeze him for every
Speaker 1: drop of blood he has in his No kidding, okay,
Speaker 1: he paid mitche O'Hara sentenced to fifty seven months. That's
Speaker 1: just shy of what five years close. And he wanted
Speaker 1: to say that he's truly sorry to mister o'tani for.
Speaker 2: Stealing seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 5: No, he's truly sorry. He got caught, yeah, for stealing
Speaker 5: seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 3: It's this is wild because I was listening to a
Speaker 3: story about this someone is being interviewed. The amount of
Speaker 3: money that he was gambling back and forth.
Speaker 2: He won some, he lost some.
Speaker 3: I mean the seventeen million dollars at the end is
Speaker 3: what he lost, and he effectively stole was three hundred
Speaker 3: and three million dollars over the last few years. This
Speaker 3: They said that this guy bet nineteen thousand bets. I mean,
Speaker 3: how do you have time to interpret.
Speaker 4: Anything he interpreted? How to get money out of there?
Speaker 1: I guess, But you know, let's hope that he does better,
Speaker 1: he said, I bet I'd get better doing almost five years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Halos are home for a while longer.
Speaker 6: The Angels have extended their stadium lease through at least
Speaker 6: twenty thirty two. That extends the current lease by three years.
Speaker 6: It was set to expire after the twenty twenty nine season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at this.
Speaker 3: They had reached the city, which owns all of it,
Speaker 3: had reached a three hundred and twenty million dollars deal
Speaker 3: to sell the stadium and the land to a partnership
Speaker 3: owned by Artie Moreno, the Angels owner. That was canceled
Speaker 3: by the city council because the mayor had been caught
Speaker 3: up in all this and there were the accusation of
Speaker 3: all kinds of wrong do.
Speaker 4: Looked a little shady.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the deal would have kept the team in Anaheim
Speaker 3: through the death of your grandchildren a long long time.
Speaker 2: Was it through.
Speaker 3: Twenty seventy five? With the extensions fifty more years?
Speaker 5: It was through? No, it's twenty fifty, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the extensions are up to twenty seven five.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, Yeah, because they've already said that they're extending
Speaker 3: for three years now. And the story show says that
Speaker 3: they have the right to extend three times, and they
Speaker 3: extended it once already.
Speaker 4: This is their first go round, all right.
Speaker 1: Nissan the car company looks to step back just a
Speaker 1: little bit from the merger talks with rival Honda. This
Speaker 1: coming from multiple sources. They are calling into question a
Speaker 1: sixty billion dollar time up to create the world's number
Speaker 1: three automaker could be huge.
Speaker 4: So kind of fell apart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of complicated, fell apart, you know, sometimes love
Speaker 1: fades Bill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't like the name he Saun or Nanda
Speaker 3: or Honda or no Sonda, Sonda.
Speaker 2: It's just wait, that was a that didn't work, none
Speaker 2: of that.
Speaker 3: Okay ooh here ah Amy Neil.
Speaker 5: Disney's doing a bit of a.
Speaker 6: Slow roll Back in October, they said, hey, we've got
Speaker 6: this great new idea. It's called a Lightning Lane Premiere Pass,
Speaker 6: and it's only four hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Oof.
Speaker 3: That's well for one day at Disneyland. On top of
Speaker 3: getting in on top.
Speaker 5: Of the ticket, it's four hundred dollars.
Speaker 6: It gets you in the front of the line for
Speaker 6: any ride you want to go on, including Rise of
Speaker 6: the Resistance in Radiator Spread once.
Speaker 5: You can't just go on Rise over and over again.
Speaker 5: But it'll get you to the front of the line.
Speaker 5: If you want to hit.
Speaker 3: All the rights, yeah, okay, So it's only four hundred dollars,
Speaker 3: which you know Homode's cost to get in one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty bucks for person, so it's four hundred dollars
Speaker 3: another so six hundred and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say four five to fifty.
Speaker 4: So if you're going to go once a year and
Speaker 4: you want to hit all the rides.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if it's family off for it's only two thousand
Speaker 3: dollars for the part, not the hotel you need you No,
Speaker 3: that's okay, that's not I like the quote from the
Speaker 3: New Financial Disney Chy financial officer quote, we are moving slowly,
Speaker 3: no kidding, figure to gauge what the hell this is
Speaker 3: going to do with the product in order to make
Speaker 3: Now I'm going to quote it a great experience for
Speaker 3: both the purchasers of Lightning Lean Lightning Lane and the
Speaker 3: rest of our guests. The rest of our guests are
Speaker 3: standing in line for an hour and a half and
Speaker 3: got someone cuts to the front of the line because
Speaker 3: they bought the Lightning Lane. But that makes it a
Speaker 3: better experience for those people. Sounds like the pharmaceutical company
Speaker 3: saying higher prices for drugs are better for you.
Speaker 6: I will tell you that I haven't done the Lightning
Speaker 6: Lane premiere, but I do do the Lightning Lane, which
Speaker 6: is like twenty five or thirty dollars if I want
Speaker 6: to go and ride a bunch of rides. But like
Speaker 6: like Neila just said, but if I'm just going to
Speaker 6: the park and I'm going on a few rides, I
Speaker 6: don't mind waiting in the line.
Speaker 1: No, it's not a big deal. It depends who you're
Speaker 1: there with. When my wife and I were there yesterday,
Speaker 1: I don't care how long we're in line. We get
Speaker 1: to catch up.
Speaker 5: Well, you get to make google eyes at each other
Speaker 5: and hold hand.
Speaker 2: We held hands hour and a half.
Speaker 4: We were there for four hours yesterday.
Speaker 1: We got on four or five rides, we had, we
Speaker 1: sat down to eat twice, we got snacks, we did
Speaker 1: some shopping.
Speaker 3: The day at Disneyland. That's to happen everybody. But that's
Speaker 3: a half day at disney Okay, for those of you
Speaker 3: that just listen to Neil, I want you to go
Speaker 3: to Disneyland, because you two are going to get four rides,
Speaker 3: You're going to get two meals, You're going to buy
Speaker 3: some merch, get snacks in four hours.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know how to do it, all right.
Speaker 3: Very exciting. When I used to go to Disneyland a
Speaker 3: lot of years ago. I haven't been in a long time.
Speaker 5: So that's why you're so grumpy.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, because I'll tell you what spoiled me, right.
Speaker 3: I would go February March, midweek, five thousand people in
Speaker 3: the park.
Speaker 2: No wait for any ride.
Speaker 3: You'd take a ride, you'd have to get off because
Speaker 3: you can't stay on.
Speaker 2: You'd go around, get back in line where there's no line.
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you that that was a lot of
Speaker 3: years ago, though, And I love Disneyland, by the way,
Speaker 3: I don't misunderstand. If it weren't for the number of
Speaker 3: people who also loved Disneyland, i'd be there half a dozen.
Speaker 2: Times a year.
Speaker 4: You can't share.
Speaker 2: Oh god, no, there's no chance that is correct. Well said, you.
Speaker 4: Don't want just I don't want you at Disneyland.
Speaker 2: You have just picked. You're not gonna you know what.
Speaker 4: Walt doesn't want you at Disneyland.
Speaker 3: I understand, it's just it's the crowds, that's it, because
Speaker 3: it's so popular and it's a great place.
Speaker 1: Bill, they're talking about what you used to refer to
Speaker 1: as law school newscandy.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 4: Cocain.
Speaker 1: Yes, cocaine is no worse than whiskey and is only
Speaker 1: illegal because it comes from Latin America, so says the
Speaker 1: Columbia and President Gustavo Petro during a live broadcast of
Speaker 1: a government meeting. So he says, basically, it's racism because
Speaker 1: he says, scientists haven't analyzed this. So he sounds like
Speaker 1: a Latino.
Speaker 2: He sounds like a.
Speaker 4: It's yeah.
Speaker 1: So he says, you know, Columbia is the world's biggest
Speaker 1: cocaine producer and exporter. And he said during the six
Speaker 1: hour ministerial meaning broadcast live for the first time. By
Speaker 1: the way, he says, it's illegal because Maine, Latin America,
Speaker 1: because it's no worse than whiskey. Scientists have analyzed this.
Speaker 1: Cocaine is no worse than whiskey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'd like to see the scientific reports, but
Speaker 3: I doubt it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've only done cocaine, I know, a couple three times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I've only done it a couple three thousand times.
Speaker 4: Okay, and I like my whiskey. Yeah, but I heard
Speaker 4: say they were comparable. Okay.
Speaker 6: The safety system apparently was not on. There's a safety
Speaker 6: system called the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast or ADSB. They
Speaker 6: had it on a black Hawk helicopter. It wasn't all on,
Speaker 6: and that's when the black Hawk collided with that American
Speaker 6: Airlines commuter jet near Reagan Airport.
Speaker 4: Last week.
Speaker 6: Ted cruz Is on the Senate Commerce Committee said there
Speaker 6: was no real reason it shouldn't have been on. It's
Speaker 6: an advanced surveillance technology that tracks aircraft location.
Speaker 4: Isn't it.
Speaker 3: I thought that was some kind of sexual issue ADSP.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's b D I Sam, I have conflated
Speaker 2: the two.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm mixing you up with one of your other
Speaker 4: family members.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's interesting that this was off.
Speaker 4: You know, they were not interesting. That's oriental.
Speaker 3: It is horrible, but it is interesting, and they were
Speaker 3: using night goggles and there's there's gonna be a few
Speaker 3: issues there, but it all looks like it's it's all
Speaker 3: pointing to the helicopter and the helicopter pilots that are
Speaker 3: at fault.
Speaker 4: Here.
Speaker 3: We'll see again that's premature and that's preliminary.
Speaker 4: All right, man, this totally blows my mind.
Speaker 1: Like Billabong and Quicksilver and full Come, they're totally going away, man,
Speaker 1: Liberated Brands, I have two d and twenty six million dollars.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what these stores are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're surf shops.
Speaker 2: Surf shops. Oh, you're right, because I've done so much
Speaker 2: surfing in my life. Yeah, that's me. They used to
Speaker 2: call me surfer Bill.
Speaker 4: Did they know not what they call you in the halls? No? Yeah, no,
Speaker 4: I'm not a sig surfer.
Speaker 1: They're permanently closing more than one hundred stores in the
Speaker 1: US due to their operator, Liberated Brands, filing for bankruptcy.
Speaker 1: The interesting thing on this, they said one of the
Speaker 1: reasons is they blame fast fashion competition.
Speaker 4: What is that? What is fast fashion is.
Speaker 1: Kind of a it's it's not really well made, but
Speaker 1: it's super hype trendy, ties out and he goes away.
Speaker 3: It's not like fast food that have destroyed restaurants kind
Speaker 3: of thing.
Speaker 4: Sort of. Yeah, No, I mean I'm being serious about that.
Speaker 3: It's just a society leaning towards the other direction.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, fourteen hundred people laid off.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of people.
Speaker 5: Well, the past has come back to bite.
Speaker 6: A now former member of Musk's Doge team, a twenty
Speaker 6: five year old software engineer who was working inside the
Speaker 6: Treasury Department to cut costs and root out fraud, had
Speaker 6: some racist social media posts reservice. They had been deleted,
Speaker 6: but you know, nothing's ever really gone, and there were
Speaker 6: several of them from not that long ago. One says,
Speaker 6: you couldn't pay me to marry outside my ethnicity. Another
Speaker 6: one said, just for the record, I was racist before
Speaker 6: it was cool on my he's gone now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whoa.
Speaker 4: But that could be interpreted well, now, yeah.
Speaker 3: Repealing the Civil Rights Act? I want a eugenic immigration policy.
Speaker 3: Is that too much to ask? No, it's not too
Speaker 3: much to ask at all. I think it's perfectly legitimate
Speaker 3: to ask.
Speaker 1: It's so much easier to point out racists when they say, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm a racist.
Speaker 2: And it's cool to be a racist. On top of that.
Speaker 1: But the problem is, now, if you start eliminating all
Speaker 1: the racists from Washington, DC, we're gonna have issues.
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna work. Yeah, it's this is just wow, wow, Sorry,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 1: All right, Kabla Harris, you remember her a vice president
Speaker 1: and she ran for the presidency. Kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's going real good till it wasn't well. She toured
Speaker 1: neighborhoods devastated by the Palisades fighter fire, not far from
Speaker 1: her own home in Brentwood, and she said to literally
Speaker 1: be on the ground here. You can smell the smoke
Speaker 1: that was here.
Speaker 3: Do you see her speaking to the crowd, And people
Speaker 3: were saying, who's that.
Speaker 1: She was touring alongside Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath.
Speaker 3: By the way, she lives in Brentwood. Yeah, yeah, what
Speaker 3: are the prices of homes in Brentwood.
Speaker 4: She's got money, I guess, sir.
Speaker 5: And her husband's a I think he's a pretty successful.
Speaker 4: Lawyer, right, I don't know, don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, But again, for all those people that bitchten complained
Speaker 1: about Trump not going to Altadena, either, did Kamala Harris apparently?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean Palisades is getting all the attention, and which to.
Speaker 1: Me sucks because it's horrible. Altadena is so historical. I mean,
Speaker 1: it sucks all the way around. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see him being lose their house. Rich not rich, I
Speaker 1: don't care. But the Palisades is it is not I
Speaker 1: don't know. To me, it's not as old and rich
Speaker 1: with history as Altady.
Speaker 3: Pallisanes just has money and Altadena doesn't come close.
Speaker 4: That's it, all right, Move on.
Speaker 6: An ignition admission Southern California, Edison says that its equipment
Speaker 6: may have sparked the wildfire in Silmar. That's the one
Speaker 6: that burned about eight hundred acres. It was known as
Speaker 6: the Hurst Fire. It burned a lot of land, but
Speaker 6: it did not destroy any homes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh so they'll take that's what they're saying. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're okay being blamed for the fire. But that one
Speaker 3: over there, that was eight hundred acres, that was.
Speaker 1: A small one with no buildings. Yeah, yeah, we're sorry
Speaker 1: about that one.
Speaker 5: It also said yesterday, yeah, that it could be it's.
Speaker 6: Looking into whether an idle transmission line became energized and
Speaker 6: possibly sparked the Eton fire, but says it still maintains
Speaker 6: there's no evidence its equipment was responsible for that one,
Speaker 6: which it will say, Oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the small one would know how. We're pretty
Speaker 4: sure we did.
Speaker 2: That And they had to do a filing.
Speaker 3: It's not as if they voluntarily gave up this information.
Speaker 3: That is the law they have to do. It's under
Speaker 3: the utilities law.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: One thing that I don't want my snacks live beetles.
Speaker 1: More than three dozen live beetles, nearly the length of
Speaker 1: the average human hands.
Speaker 2: Five inches long. That's a big beetle.
Speaker 4: That's not a beetle, that's a stowaway.
Speaker 1: They were found discovered in the Southern California airport during
Speaker 1: a routine inspection. They said, well, hello, federal authorities announced
Speaker 1: this just Wednesday. So, according to a release from the
Speaker 1: US Customs and Border Protection agriculture specialists asigned to the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles LAX, here found thirty seven giant beetles concealed
Speaker 1: inside multiple packages of Japanese snacks, potato, chips, and chocolate.
Speaker 2: Now, let's be fair. Empty packages.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the reason why they're in there is not
Speaker 1: because they're part of the snack. They're valued at fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and change, so they're they're not legal here,
Speaker 1: but people want to buy that.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So you know what's I was in where the triangles?
Speaker 1: Where what is it? Thailand and Burma? And when they
Speaker 1: come to and maybe allows something kind of where they
Speaker 1: eat the beetles and they eat the guy at the
