WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.080 You're listening to KAPI AM six forty. The Bill handles 2 00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:11.519 show on demand on the iHeartRadio. FLA Trow, Pennsylvania is 3 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.960 where Arnold Palmer was born and grew up. And the 4 00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.600 airport there is the Arnold Palmer Airport and named the 5 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:23.760 airport after him. In the rally, as many of Trump 6 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.640 rallies are there at the airport, he flies in and boy, 7 00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:29.839 let me tell you, the visuals are really terrific. He 8 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:34.119 flies in on the Trump plane. It is you've seen 9 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.960 those letters nineteen feet high on the plane, comes in, 10 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.840 goes off the plane front of Electron at the bottom 11 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:44.159 of the stairs, does his thing and leaves. And it's 12 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.719 a very effective way to campaign. And even though there 13 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.159 were from what's being reported by the New York Times, 14 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.640 several hundred people there and that was it. It's really 15 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.000 not for those hundreds of people or thousands of people. 16 00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.479 It's because it's covered like crazy. National news covers it, 17 00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.480 certainly local news, and it is just a neat way 18 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:09.799 to get the message across. So twelve minutes of his 19 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.319 rally and he goes on forever. At most of his rallies, 20 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.640 he got into describing Arnold Palmer and the size of 21 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:22.560 his Palmer, that Arnold Palmer has a very large fontz 22 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:28.519 or did and that was twelve minutes of it. Also 23 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.159 well included a bunch of remarks about it and gave 24 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.319 him a lot of accolades, and then went on to 25 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.799 talk about Harris and use the four letter word for crap. 26 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.359 Am I even allowed. I don't think I'm allowed to 27 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.400 say the actual word. Am I, No, I can't. Anyway, 28 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.640 he does that, and he goes, she is, and then 29 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.640 the crowd screams the word. And anyway, the point of 30 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:55.959 this one is the backlash he is getting for talking 31 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:02.239 about Arnold's schwantz and in a big way literally and figuratively. 32 00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.280 He said that when Arnold Palmer Palmer would go into 33 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.960 the shower, the other golfers would come out and they go, wow, 34 00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:22.240 look at that. That's my god, that's unbelievable. Went on 35 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:23.960 to say, I refuse to say it, but then of 36 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.319 course he went on to say it, and Trump chuckles. 37 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.479 I mean it was funny, and he said later on, 38 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.039 I have to tell you about the shower part because 39 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.159 it's true. What can I tell you? We want to 40 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.840 be honest, any other politician talking about someone else's Schwantz 41 00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:45.439 would go down in a heartbeat. The problem is among 42 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.400 those that are anti Trump, this does not hurt him, 43 00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.879 it doesn't help him. There were interviews all through the 44 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.800 weekend where staunch Republicans would say, Hey, I don't like it, 45 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.639 but let's talk about the issues even if Trump does 46 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.719 not talk about a lot of the issues. And I'll 47 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.479 tell you why this one doesn't. I don't know what 48 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.759 the outrage is. This is Donald Trump. This is the 49 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.039 kind of stuff that he says. He has a pass. 50 00:03:13.240 --> 00:03:17.039 He is teflon in that regard. He can just keep 51 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:21.000 on going. And for those people that are pro Trump, 52 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.960 that's going to change anybody's mind. For those people that 53 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.919 are anti Trump, is that going to change anybody's mind? 54 00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.560 Everybody knows who he is now. There is some stuff 55 00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.879 that he has ordered, that he has uttered that I 56 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.800 think is dangerous. Beside a dead Arnold Palmer's fonse, I 57 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:44.159 don't care. The argument that Barack Obama, for example, was 58 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.080 not born in the United States and was ineligible to 59 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.599 be the president, that one I have a problem with. 60 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.080 Also arguing about the election. You know how I feel 61 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.360 about the election. The lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, arguing 62 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.520 that the election was rigged. That's problematic the rest of 63 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.560 this stuff. Frankly, I just think it's who cares really now? 64 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:14.759 The independence is these people are going to decide the 65 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:20.000 presidency in the battleground states. Most of the electorate, the 66 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.800 thinking is already baked in. Either your four or you're not. 67 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.720 And unfortunately, there are a lot of Democrats that refuse 68 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.279 to vote, period. And that's what's scaring the Democrats. This 69 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.759 is why Barack Obama is going out and hard, hard 70 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:39.160 pressing for Democrats to go out and vote, particularly black men. 71 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:43.600 For some reason, they are just not coming out in droves, 72 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.879 far less terms of the polls than they did so 73 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.120 for Joe Biden. But when it comes to all of this, 74 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.879 I mean, who cares even the independence. Let's say I'm independent, 75 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.279 I am not. You know my position as far as 76 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.040 Donald Trump, and I'm not even talking policy, I believe 77 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.439 he's just unfit to be the president. That's it. It's 78 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.480 just that simple. I hold the presidency in such high 79 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.720 regard that I do not want someone of this ilk 80 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.560 to be president. And in many cases I agree. Policy wise, 81 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:18.120 I think Kamala Harris is crazy in a lot of places, well, 82 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.120 she's going to stop the overcharging, the gouging. I don't 83 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:28.079 even know what that means from the food companies, particularly 84 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.519 the supermarkets. I don't know what gouging is at what price? 85 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:37.040 Ten percent profit, twenty percent profit. So in many ways 86 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.199 I think she's out of her mind. But when it 87 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.279 comes to this sort of stuff, come on, guys, this 88 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.639 is Trump and this is what he does. And by 89 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.000 the way, Arnold Palmer, from what I understand, did have 90 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.560 a big schwantz. Now, as I said earlier when we 91 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.839 were doing the news, he was noted for doing rope 92 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.439 tricks and he didn't have a rope. I mean, the 93 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.800 guy was you know, Oh my god, look at the 94 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:15.639 size of that thing. He was a man's man, as 95 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:21.720 far as Trump was concerned. A real man's man basically 96 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.519 look like a baby's arm with an apple in its fist. Okay, 97 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.560 I don't want to describe it. God, I don't know 98 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.879 what you're I just wanted to make sure that you 99 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:37.720 understood the visual here. Now there's a story. Oh, before 100 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:40.519 I get into that, I'm gonna remind you or tell 101 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.160 you coming up at eight o'clock. As you know today, 102 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.399 I've just come back from my vacation and I was 103 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:51.639 overseas in Europe, Ireland and Italy, and I talked to 104 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.480 a whole lot of people about the presidential election. I'm 105 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.759 going to share with you what I got from it 106 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:01.560 amongst dozens of people. I'll share that coming up at 107 00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.879 eight o'clock in the meantime, talking about the presidential coming 108 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.920 up in a couple of weeks, Elon Musks. Musk has 109 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.959 announced that he is warning a million dollars a day 110 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.680 to a randomly chosen voter who has signed his petition 111 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.000 pledging to uphold the rights to free speech and to 112 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:29.439 bear arms. And this is like almost saying register to vote. 113 00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.240 Not quite. The argument is that this may be illegal, 114 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:37.399 and a lot of Democrats are saying nope, this may 115 00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:43.160 be illegal. Why because federal law does not allow anything 116 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.639 of value to be given to anybody to either vote 117 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.360 or to register to vote. And the argument is for 118 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:55.319 him to say, if you sign this petition that is 119 00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.959 from his American pack, his America pack, and it's clearly 120 00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:03.839 to boost Donald Trump in his presidential election, if you 121 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:08.160 sign this, We're going to at random pick someone that 122 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.319 gets a million dollars whoever signs his petition. And somebody 123 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.800 has already done that and made a made a video 124 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.439 the winner. You can see him and the boy. It's 125 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.360 all over the social sat on as on a sofa 126 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.639 and this oversized version of his million dollar check and 127 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:30.959 urges people to head to the polls. So is what 128 00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.840 he has done legal? Yeah, because he's not actually asking 129 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.440 people to register. He is saying sign this petition that 130 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:47.080 talks about Second Amendment rights and free speech. And that's 131 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:53.720 one of the prime platform statements that Donald Trump and 132 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.200 the conservatives, the evangelicals even have said. Freedom of speech 133 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:00.440 means that the separation of church and state, which has 134 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:05.840 been sacrisyanct in the US since the liberal courts have 135 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.320 said so, is now coming back. Prayer in school, silent prayer. 136 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.039 The Supreme Court even talked about how you cannot have silence. 137 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.840 Let's take a moment of silence that was considered religion. 138 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.879 I mean, the court really went pretty far. It was 139 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:26.519 I mean, there was a lawsuit about and it was 140 00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.559 a father who fould lawsuit against forcing students to stand 141 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.120 up and say the Pledge of Allegiance because it says 142 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:38.519 under God. Therefore, people who are not religious are being 143 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:43.720 stigmatized and are actually being forced to accept the fact 144 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:49.200 that they're teaching God. Well, basically lost. The Supreme Court said, 145 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.440 you know, too bad on that one. Same thing with 146 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.919 money in God we trust, which by the way, started 147 00:09:55.960 --> 00:10:00.799 I think in the fifties. A court after court said nah, 148 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.879 and the Supreme Court said, nah, we're going to accept 149 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.440 that one, too bad, even though the argument was violation 150 00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.919 of separation of church and state. Now you're going to 151 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.919 see a lot more religion because the courts have gone 152 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.000 to that point. It's a very conservative court and Elon 153 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.759 Musk has jumped all over this, and what he is 154 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.559 saying is prayer in school effectively freedom of religion. That's 155 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.080 what it means today. Second Amendment rights, well, we all 156 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.600 know what that is. And therefore you can win a 157 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.639 million bucks if all you do is sign this petition, 158 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:38.000 and it's to engage the electorate to get them. And 159 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.399 by the way, I think you have to when you 160 00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.799 sign the petition, your email goes on there and tell 161 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.399 me you're not getting anything inundated with emails from the 162 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.799 Trump campaign and other Republican campaigns. And this is just 163 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.519 another way for and it's a clever way of doing this. 164 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.960 By the way, it's when you think about Elon Musk 165 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.919 throwing at this point seventy five million dollars into his 166 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.519 pack to push for Trump. You know, in the battleground states, 167 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.399 you can't buy any more airtime. You can't. They're completely 168 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.639 sold out. You cannot buy a television commercial, you cannot 169 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.879 buy a radio commercial. You can't. So where do you go. 170 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.320 You have to find out different ways of doing it. 171 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:25.279 Boots on the ground, for example, knocking on doors. That's 172 00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.480 where most of the money is being spent. Right now, 173 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:32.360 Elon Musk has gone from I think Donald Trump Donald 174 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.000 Trump is a jerk, to just an awesome supporter and 175 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.200 throwing his money. He truly believes that Donald Trump is 176 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.600 the end all be all, And there was talk about 177 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:49.519 does he get a position in the administration if he 178 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:54.799 supports Trump? If you remember that initial talk, he will. 179 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:58.799 It'll be a non paid position. It'll be some kind 180 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.559 of commission in terms of technology, but he will be 181 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:08.480 a member of the administration. If Donald Trump gets elected. 182 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:12.799 And he came out, god, really weird. I mean, Musk 183 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:14.559 is a weird guy. You've got a weird guy in 184 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.799 a weird presidential candidate. So Musk comes out at one 185 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.360 of the rallies and starts dancing and the same thing 186 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.399 that Trump does, starts dancing. By the way, have you 187 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:28.320 seen Trump dance? Boy? Can that man dance? Oh yeah, 188 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.720 you talk about rhythm? Who can he dance? That is? 189 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:36.279 You think there were a few memes on that one. 190 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:42.840 All right, guys, we're done with that. Coming up the 191 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:48.480 death of Yeah Yah Sinwar, the head of Haramas. We're 192 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.200 going to talk a little bit about how the hamasnik 193 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.840 has died, as well as other high end members of 194 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:01.399 Hamas and the hierarchy, and Wyatt means is basically nothing. 195 00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:04.480 And everybody thought, oh my god, they killed them. Therefore 196 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.720 were on our way to some kind of negotiation. No, no, 197 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.639 and it's both side's fault, and I will tell you 198 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:15.360 why that is. And then coming up at eight o'clock, 199 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.759 my conversation with people overseas, Ireland and Italy about this 200 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:25.879 presidential election and two themes. Two themes were going through 201 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.080 all of it, and I'll share that with you now. 202 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:34.559 The other thing is a little international in scope, and 203 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:39.039 I was listening to the news as I was overseas, 204 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.879 and that is the death of Yeah Yah Sinwar, the 205 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:47.200 Kamas leader who was in jail, by the way, for 206 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:51.840 twenty years in Israel for and convicted of a terrorist attack. 207 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:57.960 And during one of the negotiations, particularly it was when 208 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.639 Guy shild Or she had Guy Leel, the Israeli soldier 209 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.519 was picked up and held for six years and there 210 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.480 was a ransom where there was an agreement. A thousand 211 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.720 Palestinian prisoners were released for this one Israeli and among 212 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:17.360 them was Sinwar and he's the one that actually masterminded 213 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:20.679 the October seventh attack. So this is a bad guy 214 00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:25.279 that Israel desperately wanted to either capture, which was never 215 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.320 going to happen, or killed, and he was killed sort 216 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:31.480 of in a fluke way. Israel just got lucky. It 217 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.519 was a regular wasn't an attack on him, it was 218 00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:39.120 it wasn't a military move to kill him. It was 219 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:44.120 just a regular fight with the Hamas fighters and Israel 220 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:48.320 and Israel patrol and boom, they got him. So he's 221 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:53.000 now dead. So what happens because he was a hard 222 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:58.080 hard liner, We keep on this war no matter what. Well, 223 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.279 I'll tell you why, nothing's going to change because the 224 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.879 Hamas leadership, we don't even know who's in the leadership, 225 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.440 because Israel has taken out the hierarchy completely, and so 226 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:11.799 there's a vacuum, but it's going to be filled. But 227 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:17.240 what the thinking is among Hamas leadership is that we 228 00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:20.440 just keep the war going. It's good for Hamas to 229 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:25.399 keep the war going. Why because they're going to lose 230 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:29.200 in the short run. I mean, look what's happening to Gaza. 231 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:34.679 But when this is over, they will declare victory because 232 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.240 we were able to fight the Israelis and off they 233 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:42.440 go and Gaza is now once again its own state 234 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:48.080 without Israeli occupation. And the fact that forty two thousand 235 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.799 Palestinians have been killed and I only count about two 236 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.080 thirds of that because a third of those are Hamas 237 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.279 militants and I don't view them as being killed in 238 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:03.360 innocence in any way. And more are going to be killed. 239 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:08.840 And two point two million have been displaced, which is 240 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:14.240 ninety something percent of the entire population of Gaza, and 241 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:19.559 two thirds of Gaza has been decimated. I mean two 242 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:24.879 thirds of the entire country has been effectively wipe out 243 00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:30.360 in terms of infrastructure, in terms of homes and buildings 244 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.200 and roads. Even getting humanitarian aid has been cut off Israel, 245 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.200 says oh we're allowing humanitarian aid. That's just not true. 246 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.960 It is a croc nitianna who is and I'm going 247 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:50.159 to say this, this guy believes in this war and 248 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.960 for personal reasons too. I don't think it has much 249 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:58.519 to do with global geopolitics. I think he just wants 250 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.440 to stay in power. Because let me tell you what 251 00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.839 happens once he is out of power. His trial for 252 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:09.559 corruption moves on. Right now, he can't be tried because 253 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:14.279 he is head of state. That sound familiar. Once he 254 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.200 leaves office, he's just a guy who is accused of 255 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.039 total corruption and I think he's going to be convicted. 256 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.480 So for him to stay in power is everything. And 257 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.519 how do you stay in power a war? Nobody removes 258 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.960 ahead of state during a war, and that's what's going 259 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.559 on with him. And then you have Hamas that they'd 260 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.559 rather have the war than not. And why is that? 261 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.960 Because when the war is over all of a sudden, 262 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.119 Hamas has to look at everyone in the country that 263 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:52.799 has been displaced, everyone that ever owned a building or 264 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:57.880 drove on the streets, or was involved in helping people 265 00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:03.599 eat or deal with the medical issues as in doctors, nurses, 266 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:07.400 because all the hospitals have effectively been wiped out. And 267 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:11.160 here's what Hamas has done. It has taken the entire 268 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:19.880 population of Gaza and made everyone a martyr without their agreement, 269 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:23.319 without consultations with them. Because when you look at martyrs, 270 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:27.920 these are people who jump into it and they do 271 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:34.440 it with open eyes. So there's a lot of reckoning 272 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:38.000 to be done on both sides, and both sides do 273 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:43.039 not want this war over Israel. I think has a 274 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:47.119 hell of an argument in that this is a government 275 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.759 in Gaza that they're and they've admitted this. The most 276 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:56.720 important thing for Hamas is the destruction of Israel. More 277 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:03.240 important than governance, will, more important than sustaining infrastructure. It's 278 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.359 the destruction of Israel. And Israel says, hey, we can't 279 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:09.160 take that. And by the way, look what's happening in Lebanine. 280 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.319 They've got the same issue. Israel is not screwing around anymore. 281 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:15.720 You attack Israel, you're going to get it right back. 282 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:22.440 Five times as much, ten times as much. Twelve hundred 283 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.640 Israelis were killed in October seventh. Now when you talk 284 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.599 about when you compare forty two thousand to twelve hundred, 285 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:35.039 it seems really off, doesn't it. I mean, that's not proportional, 286 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.200 although I don't know anybody who's using the word proportional anymore. 287 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.759 It just so happens, though, that those twelve hundred that 288 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:46.759 were massacred was the worst massacre of Israelis of Jews 289 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:51.720 since the Holocaust. So that means a whole lot to 290 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.880 the people of Israel. So both sides at this point 291 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:58.799 want the war to continue. Israel has lost in the 292 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:06.240 hundreds of soldiers and there's been some damage. Gaza has 293 00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.680 lost its entire population in terms of being displaced, and 294 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:14.640 eighty or seventy five percent of the buildings are gone. Lebanon, 295 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.759 Hisbelah has done the same thing. Israel wasn't interested in 296 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:25.279 occupying Lebanon, not since two thousand and six when Israel invaded. 297 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.680 Now Israel says, you just leave us alone. Well Hasbolah 298 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.880 said no? So as soon as the fight starts October eighth, 299 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:39.519 when Israel invades Gaza, then you have Hisbela Southern Lebanon 300 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:43.240 decide they're going to launch the missiles in solidarity with 301 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:50.839 the Palestinians. Well, Israel's taken out whole sections of whole 302 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:54.480 sections of Lebanon. Southern Lebanon and now you have how 303 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.160 many people displaced. I don't know how many, hundreds of thousands. 304 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:01.680 You know, it's gotten to the point now where it's 305 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.599 no longer tit for tat. It is tat tat tat, 306 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:09.839 tat tat, tat, tat for tit. Does that make sense? 307 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.720 You can take that the wrong way, Neil. I know 308 00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.240 you gave me that weird look, but I think you 309 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.759 can take that the wrong way. And even though I 310 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:27.440 would go into that rabbit hole, I didn't on that one. Okay, 311 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:32.680 moving on, Boeing, of course, you know is in huge, 312 00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:39.000 huge trouble, and Intel is in sort of the same category. 313 00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:40.519 And I'll tell you what's happening with that. And this 314 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.640 more than just a couple of companies that have real trouble. 315 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:48.359 It affects every one of us in America. And I'll explain. 316 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.119 And then eight o'clock my conversations with people overseas about 317 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.839 the presidential election, and two themes that I heard over 318 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.640 and over again, the Yankees and the Dodgers. That's pretty 319 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.720 big news. And of course some geopolitical news that I 320 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.079 talked about World War three. It doesn't matter. You've got 321 00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.279 North Korea saying it's going to launch an atomic weapon. 322 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.799 And yeah, yah sinowar and what happened in the Middle 323 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:20.000 East that keeps ongoing, but nothing like the Dodgers. And 324 00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.559 I don't think I'm far wrong on that one. I 325 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.160 really don't. Amy is wearing her Dodger jersey that looks 326 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.799 like a Disneyland jersey with a big d. Amy. It's 327 00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:34.079 sort of a hybrid. Oh okay, sorry to interrupt you 328 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:36.920 while you're eating I that's okay, Yeah, no, I understand. 329 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:41.279 That's what this show is all about. Breakfast. I'm just 330 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.119 trying to be like you, Bill, I know you. We 331 00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:45.000 should call it Breakfast in the morning, you know, one 332 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.720 of those breakfast shows. Okay, moving on to what's happening 333 00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:53.799 internationally and certainly domestically, And this is where both parties 334 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.920 are heavily involved. Harris as well as Trump are basically 335 00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.559 on the same page on this one, and that is 336 00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:05.000 manufacturing has gone to hell in this country. And to 337 00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:07.400 give you an idea of Boeing and Intel, two of 338 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:12.920 the biggest manufacturers in the US, are worth about half 339 00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:17.599 of what they were in the last five years. Wow. 340 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.480 And why is that? Well, because the bean counters have 341 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.119 come in to play here. That's what's happening. Boweing used 342 00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:32.000 to be one of the most engineering, not just friendly, 343 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.839 but engineering based companies in the world. Profits were secondary 344 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:42.599 to engineering. You have good engineering, face, you have great airplanes, 345 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.359 money follows. So well that's not the case. Let's save 346 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.799 money no matter what. And look at the crashes. Look 347 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:52.920 what's been happening. Boeing lost eighteen months seven thirty seven Max. 348 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.640 The Max eight was just stop production and they're simply 349 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.359 not selling airplanes. Air Bus is going crazy. Intel. Here 350 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.400 is a little factoid. Do you know that Intel turned 351 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:12.440 down making the major chip for the iPhone? They said, no, 352 00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:16.359 we don't want it, We're not going to make enough money. 353 00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:20.039 Well that's brilliant, isn't it. So here's what's happening. We're 354 00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.920 still at the top of the heap, American American technology. 355 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.720 The problem is manufacturing. The top of the heap has 356 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:32.319 been outsourced. For example, do you know where all the 357 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.880 chips are made that are used in the US with 358 00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:39.960 the phones other than the iPhone? I think even the 359 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.519 iPhone in Taiwan. The biggest chip manufacturer on the planet 360 00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:47.839 is in Taiwan. And if China takes over Taiwan, and 361 00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.160 that's only a question of time. Can you imagine they 362 00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:55.680 are going to control the international market for chips, of 363 00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:02.680 which nothing we do we cannot do without chips, these 364 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:09.359 computer chips. I mean, it is getting really rough. I 365 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:13.880 was flying overseas and the first question is I go 366 00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:17.119 up to the gate and throw my baggage in? Is 367 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.079 I always ask what aircraft are we flying? And when 368 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:27.599 I'm told it's Airbus, huh, I have a relief flying back. 369 00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:36.000 I flew on at American Airlines Boeing, and I'm going, Oh, 370 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.599 the good news. It was a Boeing that was manufactured 371 00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:43.279 fifteen twenty years ago. It was the Triple seven, and 372 00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:47.559 those were the days when manufacturing excellence was simply part 373 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:52.119 of what Boeing was all about. A new Boeing airliner, 374 00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.799 I've got big problems. Airbus fantastic. And you know who's 375 00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:01.599 up and coming in the world world of airlines, in 376 00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:05.240 the worlds of the big ones, the jumbos. Right now, 377 00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.880 it's Airbus and it is Boeing. Those are the two 378 00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:14.359 coming up very quickly. Is China. The state owned company 379 00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:18.400 Comac now is delivering a competition to the seven thirty 380 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.359 seven and the Airbus A three twenty, which is effectively 381 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:28.240 the Airbus's version of the seven thirty seven. So are 382 00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:30.119 we gonna do anything about it? Well, right now it's 383 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:36.319 tariffs and subsidies. Does that work? No? Not really, that's 384 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.720 gonna make prices go up. It has to be a 385 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.759 different mindset. It has to be get the bean counters 386 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.319 out of there. I mean, keep them, but don't run 387 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.519 and run the company, especially when you're talking about something 388 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:55.480 like computer chips or airplanes coming up. Talking about airplanes, 389 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.440 which of course I had to fly because I went 390 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:01.119 to Europe. I spent a lot of time talking to people, 391 00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:07.559 I mean taxi drivers, people at hotels, sitting in airports, 392 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:13.240 asking folks what they thought of the presidential election coming up. 393 00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:18.279 And there were two ongoing themes that they talk about. 394 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.559 And it's not Donald Trump being crazy either, the stuff 395 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.400 that he says that we're all going, oh my god, 396 00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:26.920 they don't care. I'll tell you what they really do 397 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.920 care about, and I'll do that segment coming right up. 398 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.720 This is KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the 399 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:37.640 iHeartRadio app. You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show. 400 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.079 Catch my show Monday through Friday six am to nine am, 401 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.599 and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
