Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty.
Speaker 2: And also the photo that Trump has, which most of
Speaker 2: us think is photoshop, that Gavin Newsom actually igniting the
Speaker 2: fire itself, putting a bunch of firewood next to a
Speaker 2: gas station, lighting it and running away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that one is probably not true. And now handle
Speaker 1: on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle, and.
Speaker 2: Good morning everybody. It is a Friday, foody Friday morning,
Speaker 2: January twenty four. Presidents coming into town today. Can't wait
Speaker 2: for that one. And I'll talk a little bit more
Speaker 2: about that. Let me quickly say hello to the crowd
Speaker 2: before we get started. Morning, Neil, Good morning, Willie wool
Speaker 2: Good morning, Kno good morning, Good morning Bill.
Speaker 1: And there's Ann good morning, Good morning Bill and Amy, good.
Speaker 3: Morning, and good Friday morning to you.
Speaker 1: Yes it's a good Friday, it is. Yes, we do.
Speaker 2: Oh well, a couple of things that I want to
Speaker 2: put on the table before we get into handle on
Speaker 2: the news. First of all, I told you the present's
Speaker 2: coming in. There's a whole world to that. Also, one
Speaker 2: of the things about the fires, I think Amy mentioned this.
Speaker 2: As horrific as they are, the sunsets are spectacular. It's
Speaker 2: a very, very big, big price to pay for sunsets.
Speaker 2: And it reminds me of that age old phrase that
Speaker 2: sailors have red skies in the morning, sailors take warning
Speaker 2: red skies at night.
Speaker 1: Pay attention to what happened in the morning. It is
Speaker 1: those sunsets. Do I have that wrong? Yeah?
Speaker 3: That sounded a little a sailor's delight.
Speaker 2: Oh oh okay, thanks Carno. All right, so it's the
Speaker 2: memory issue, you know. I'm getting you the point now
Speaker 2: where the bench is actually hitting.
Speaker 1: What else was I going to say? Exactly? See my point.
Speaker 2: The other thing is today we're going to do ask
Speaker 2: handle anything after Foody Friday, Foody Friday eight to eight
Speaker 2: twenty ask handle anything, which we've been doing broadcasting for
Speaker 2: a few weeks now, and you get to ask me anything.
Speaker 1: We have some recordings.
Speaker 2: And the way it works is if you want to
Speaker 2: ask me a question, a personal question, don't gonna be politics.
Speaker 2: Oh you're gonna ask me politics. I don't care, but
Speaker 2: I don't want your opinion on politics. Here's what you
Speaker 2: do when you can do that this morning too. Still
Speaker 2: you still have time to record and Neil and and
Speaker 2: we'll pick it up and if it's a great question,
Speaker 2: boom it goes in. You go to the iHeart app.
Speaker 2: During the course of this show with sometimes this morning,
Speaker 2: you go to the app, click onto the KFI page
Speaker 2: and it'll be this show. At the top of the
Speaker 2: right hand corner will be a small microphone. Click on it,
Speaker 2: and no longer than fifteen seconds, ask your question. Yeah,
Speaker 2: whatever the hell question you want to ask. And it's
Speaker 2: great fun because we're it's humiliating for me, and you know,
Speaker 2: I humiliate you as a matter of course, and I
Speaker 2: really really enjoy it. And one of the things about
Speaker 2: this show, which has been going on for decades, is
Speaker 2: I don't have very much of a thin skin. I mean,
Speaker 2: I dish it out pretty good, but you know I
Speaker 2: can take it. Neil dishes that out for me a lot.
Speaker 2: I've been trying to have Neil fired now for over
Speaker 2: a year and management.
Speaker 4: Says, I'm sorry, I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's okay, all right.
Speaker 2: And the President coming in the president lands when he
Speaker 2: goes to lax and by the way, president's coming into
Speaker 2: town are a pain in the ass. It's it's horrific
Speaker 2: any president coming in because the streets.
Speaker 1: Are all blocked. It's it's just god awful.
Speaker 5: But first Trump said that it's going to be the
Speaker 5: best president coming in.
Speaker 1: In the history of the United States.
Speaker 5: I get coming in and traffic is going to be beautiful.
Speaker 5: Traffic is beautiful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the west side its smooth.
Speaker 2: Right where the palisades are, Sunset is the only way in.
Speaker 1: There's basically one road.
Speaker 3: And no one's ever seen anything like it before.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it is. It's already jam.
Speaker 2: You know what you're going to see is presidential bulldozers,
Speaker 2: National bulldozers from the Fire Service actually going down the
Speaker 2: road and pushing fire trucks off the road so the
Speaker 2: presidential convoy can make it over to the areas. So ambulance.
Speaker 2: That's going to be interesting. I've never seen that before.
Speaker 2: All right, so he comes in. One of the things
Speaker 2: that's really neat about when a president comes in. If
Speaker 2: you ever have the opportunity, this is legit. You go
Speaker 2: down to lax and you stand on I think Supulvida
Speaker 2: and that's at the end of the runway. The president
Speaker 2: lands at the Imperial Terminal. It does not land in
Speaker 2: ord terminal, so it's a cargo terminal. That's south of
Speaker 2: the other runways, and no flight fifteen minutes before, fifteen
Speaker 2: minutes after, nobody is allowed.
Speaker 1: Near air Force one.
Speaker 2: And you see this blue dot in the distance and
Speaker 2: there's nothing else in the sky, and it gets closer
Speaker 2: and closer, and then you then you start recognizing air
Speaker 2: Force one, that magnificent seven forty seven with that gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Blue paint job.
Speaker 2: And of course Trump has changed that to just under
Speaker 2: Jackie Kennedy.
Speaker 1: She's the one that made designed.
Speaker 2: She had a designer come up with that paint scheme,
Speaker 2: which is magnificent. And I'm just really unhappy that's going
Speaker 2: away anyway. It's really neat. And you go, that's the
Speaker 2: President of the United States and that plane, what.
Speaker 4: What's he changing it to?
Speaker 2: Oh it's botty though, it's whatever. And then little tiny
Speaker 2: stripes of red, white and blue. It looks like any airliner,
Speaker 2: it doesn't, you know.
Speaker 4: I love the look of Air Force one.
Speaker 2: I know, and he's changed it. He's changed it, which
Speaker 2: is just a shame because the Air Force one, the
Speaker 2: logo and the big seal of the President of the
Speaker 2: United States, I mean, Jackie Kennedy did that, and just
Speaker 2: it's astounding how good. It looks so anyway, president comes
Speaker 2: in and that's the president the United States, and then
Speaker 2: you realize Trump on Air Force one really is slumming
Speaker 2: versus what he gets on the Trump plane, because on
Speaker 2: Air Force one, for example, the front of the plane
Speaker 2: is the.
Speaker 1: Bedroom, and it really couches that.
Speaker 2: The purser makes up into beds. It's almost like a
Speaker 2: pull out couch. From what I understand, the Trump plane
Speaker 2: has a full king sized bed and a full bedroom
Speaker 2: with you know, the lamps and you know the over
Speaker 2: you know, basically it looks like an Iranian bedroom, you know,
Speaker 2: completely overdone with guilt and marble and pillars and chandeliers.
Speaker 2: And never seen the interior of his apartment in New
Speaker 2: York and Trump Tower.
Speaker 1: It's very understated. It's very elegant.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've seen pictures. It is a lot of gold
Speaker 5: and a lot of.
Speaker 1: Gold shares their gold.
Speaker 5: It's kind of opulence. Isn't attractive to me.
Speaker 2: It's very baroke and a lot it is when I
Speaker 2: make jokes about you know, that's the way the Iranians
Speaker 2: do it. That's the way the Iranians do it. It's
Speaker 2: probably one of the few airplanes in the world that
Speaker 2: actually has marble pillars inside the airplane.
Speaker 4: If they are Barke? What don't fix it? Or you
Speaker 4: stole that from what?
Speaker 3: From h Beauty and the Beast?
Speaker 4: Oh I actually did it?
Speaker 3: It is Barke. Don't fix it?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, let's do it. Handle on the news with
Speaker 1: Amy and me lead story.
Speaker 2: The governor signed a two point five billion dollar bipartisan
Speaker 2: relief package to help LA recover and rebuild after the
Speaker 2: after the fires.
Speaker 1: Now I have a question.
Speaker 2: It's described as a bipartisan as if it needs bipartisan support.
Speaker 1: I mean, the.
Speaker 2: Democrats have a super majority, so whatever the hell they
Speaker 2: want to do. I don't even know why Republicans show
Speaker 2: up to the legislature. But who is going to vote
Speaker 2: against it? Who's going to say, nah, I'd rather not
Speaker 2: help Los Angeles. So I'll be talking about that coming
Speaker 2: up at seven to twenty. You go through some of
Speaker 2: the specifics and give you some information and where to go.
Speaker 1: It's good. It's a good thing. I mean, obviously it
Speaker 1: had to be done. And this is just a state.
Speaker 4: Mind you.
Speaker 2: We're not talking about the FEDS anymore. The county or
Speaker 2: not about the feds, the county, the city. What's going
Speaker 2: to happen. Also private money coming in, for example that
Speaker 2: benefit concert. I don't know how much that's going to raise,
Speaker 2: but the lineup is insane on that one.
Speaker 6: Okay, Trump gets his first slap back. A federal judge
Speaker 6: in Washington said that President Trump's executive order to end
Speaker 6: birthright citizenship was, in his words, blatantly unconstitutional, and he
Speaker 6: issued a temporary restraining order to block it. The judge
Speaker 6: is a Ronald Reagan appointee and said yesterday, I have
Speaker 6: been on the bench for over four decades. I can't
Speaker 6: remember another case whether the question presented was as clear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he went on, where were the lawyers when
Speaker 2: the decision to sign the executive.
Speaker 1: Order was made?
Speaker 2: He said, it boggled the mind that a member of
Speaker 2: the bar would claim that this birthright order was constitutional.
Speaker 2: And by the way, though, even though I talked about
Speaker 2: it yesterday, even though it says specifically in the fourteenth Amendment,
Speaker 2: anybody born in the United States is a citizen, thank you.
Speaker 1: How unequivocal is that? However, I think what he's hanging
Speaker 1: his hat on.
Speaker 2: And I've read some of the constitutional pundits is following
Speaker 2: part of that phrase and under the jurisdiction of the
Speaker 2: United States, and that's where he's going saying that kids mean,
Speaker 2: he is saying that they're not under their jurisdiction if
Speaker 2: they're illegal. You know, much like we talked about yesterday,
Speaker 2: when you have the children of diplomats, they're not native
Speaker 2: born Americans, even though they're born on American soil, they're
Speaker 2: not under the jurisdiction of the United States. You know,
Speaker 2: for example, you've got diplomats have immunity, they have a
Speaker 2: governmental immunity. They commit a crime, the worst that happens,
Speaker 2: you throw them out.
Speaker 4: I have a question.
Speaker 5: So if there is an embassy and someone was born
Speaker 5: in the embassy, that's not technically the United States.
Speaker 1: Oh it's absolutely not the United States.
Speaker 2: But it doesn't even matter if the kid is not
Speaker 2: born in the embassy, if his parents or his or
Speaker 2: her parents are part of the diplomatic staff, that child
Speaker 2: is not an American citizen.
Speaker 4: Okay, so there is there.
Speaker 1: Is an exception.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it doesn't it's not gonna fly. And I
Speaker 2: can't even imagine the court going on over that. It's
Speaker 2: a I think it is a political statement. Oh another
Speaker 2: one yesterday we talked about that memo from Department of
Speaker 2: Health and Human Services. Remember the DEI programs, and you
Speaker 2: have to snitch on anybody that you think is involved
Speaker 2: in DEI.
Speaker 1: I had dinner with Jim Jim Keiney last night.
Speaker 2: You know, he's medical director of Saint Mary Saint Mary
Speaker 2: Medical Group, so he runs the hospital. He got that memo.
Speaker 2: What he got the memo from the Department of Health
Speaker 2: and Human Services. Specifically, here's what you must do wrap
Speaker 2: up any DEI. Anybody at the hospital involved in DEI
Speaker 2: has to be let go immediately or has to be
Speaker 2: put on paid leave while we figure it out. And
Speaker 2: anybody who you think is even secretly or slipping in
Speaker 2: a DEI issue, you have to let us know. He
Speaker 2: said that memo was just the weirdest thing he has
Speaker 2: ever gotten.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just stunned.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, moving on all right.
Speaker 5: Pete Haig Seth, of course, President Donald Trump's nominee to
Speaker 5: lead the Pentagon, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that
Speaker 5: he paid fifty thousand dollars as part of a confidentiality
Speaker 5: agreement to a woman who alleged he sexually assaulted her. Now,
Speaker 5: he referred to it as a nuisance claim and He
Speaker 5: was never charged with a crime in connection with the
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen incident Monterey, California, but he said he reached
Speaker 5: a settlement agreement that included a confidentiality clause with his
Speaker 5: accuser to prevent her from trying to tarnish his career.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, let me ask you a question, okay, And
Speaker 2: not that I'm going to defend him, but I'm going
Speaker 2: to defend the concept if you take it as his
Speaker 2: word that it was a consensual agreement, consensual and it's
Speaker 2: an affair, you know, and there's a whole issue about,
Speaker 2: you know, adultery, et cetera.
Speaker 1: She makes the accusation.
Speaker 2: He's working at Fox, he knows his career is done
Speaker 2: the instance that goes public. And his position is it
Speaker 2: was a consensual affair, and here is an accusation, here's
Speaker 2: fifty grand. Shut up about it. I don't want to
Speaker 2: lose my job. It's today. I don't think it would
Speaker 2: be an issue. I don't think so today if someone
Speaker 2: was accused of adultery, Eh, who cares. Back in the day,
Speaker 2: you know the me too movement with that, it's high.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you it was any sexual affair was
Speaker 2: somehow not consensual. There was the thing as a consensual affair.
Speaker 2: It was exploitative, exploitive.
Speaker 1: No matter what.
Speaker 2: So you know, I mean, and if you believe the
Speaker 2: allegation about the the impropriety or the assault is true,
Speaker 2: well then there's no issue. But I can see his
Speaker 2: argument and paying it off in the NDAs. By the way,
Speaker 2: those NDAs are no longer valid in the state of California.
Speaker 4: You know that.
Speaker 2: The state changed it where you can't be held responsible
Speaker 2: if you sign an NDA and you go public with it.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, fine for anything like if you work for
Speaker 5: no regarding no regarding sexual you know, a sexual impropriety
Speaker 5: or just having a sexual affair.
Speaker 1: If I'm having an affair with you, Neil, and I
Speaker 1: don't want the world.
Speaker 2: To know that you and I spoon and you know
Speaker 2: we you know, have those kinds of activities, which, by
Speaker 2: the way, I've had better.
Speaker 1: I just want to point that out.
Speaker 4: Well I'm partial to forking, go.
Speaker 1: There you are.
Speaker 2: The point is is that I have you sign an NDA,
Speaker 2: I can't hold you to it.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I'm not gonna give up my rights for
Speaker 5: fifty thousand. I'm going to let you know right now.
Speaker 5: I'm squeezing you for everything you're worth.
Speaker 1: Well, you're squeezing me in general. Okay, that's enough of that.
Speaker 2: As we go off on tangions to say the police, okay, enough.
Speaker 1: Of that's Friday. It's Friday. Leave me alone, all right, Amy,
Speaker 1: you're up.
Speaker 3: Round two just around the corner.
Speaker 6: The next hostages for prisoners swap is set to take
Speaker 6: place over the next day, as the truce between Israel
Speaker 6: and Hummas appears to have held for its first week.
Speaker 6: Under the terms of the agreement made between Israel and Hummas,
Speaker 6: Hamas has to send the names of four female hostages
Speaker 6: that it plans to release tomorrow, and then Israel will
Speaker 6: publish the names of the more than one hundred Palestinian
Speaker 6: prisoners that it is going to set free.
Speaker 4: Okay, wow, not usually that quiet?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 5: Nearly four minute audio recording and I heard it this
Speaker 5: morning on Wake Up Call, allegedly captured show Heyo Tawani's
Speaker 5: former interpreter.
Speaker 4: Was it, Epei, Missuhara?
Speaker 1: Did I take a break already? Did you know I
Speaker 1: thought I went to break? Didn't I know you did that? Oh? Wow?
Speaker 1: I was just thinking of the next story of the story.
Speaker 2: Actually, now you know what I was looking at my
Speaker 2: commercial that I was going to do for Reuben Adjusting.
Speaker 2: It's the new commercial, and I was that was going
Speaker 2: through my head on Okay, why don't you do that again, Neil?
Speaker 4: Neil, please go ahead, thank you.
Speaker 3: Try It's Friday, Neil.
Speaker 1: It's Friday, Nel, leave me alone day.
Speaker 5: Okay, we do that every day. It's Tuesday, Neil.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, let me do. Hold on, you
Speaker 1: know what I want to do.
Speaker 2: Just hang on a minute, because we do have to
Speaker 2: take a break and we're going to come back and
Speaker 2: I'm probably going to do a Reuben Adjusting commercial, the
Speaker 2: one that I've been looking at, and I'll.
Speaker 5: Probably talk about a four minute audio recording.
Speaker 1: And that's when we come back.
Speaker 4: Okay, I bet you I haven't heard this one before.
Speaker 5: On nearly four minute audio recording allegedly capturing show Hey
Speaker 5: Otani's former interpreter impersonating him in a call with a bank.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 5: I heard it on Wake Up Call this morning with
Speaker 5: Amy attempting to transfer two hundred thousand dollars for what
Speaker 5: he describes as a car Loan Wow, and it referenced.
Speaker 5: This was reference in a court filing of obtained by
Speaker 5: the Associated Press. It's being used to back up prosecutors
Speaker 5: push for nearly five year sentence for Misuhara, who previously
Speaker 5: pled guilty to bank and tax fraud for stealing almost
Speaker 5: seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 4: From the Dodgers star. That's just insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly you have Dick Slexia. You can't you mix
Speaker 1: up fours and fives?
Speaker 4: Was a.
Speaker 1: Do I have this right? The next story was going
Speaker 1: to be a Hamas and then the uh Amy.
Speaker 3: No, we already did that one.
Speaker 4: I already did him.
Speaker 1: We did that.
Speaker 6: We did the Hamas story while you were looking at
Speaker 6: your script seriously.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, do you want to go back to it?
Speaker 2: No, I'm oh, that's why you were You know what
Speaker 2: this morning. I'm already out of the show.
Speaker 1: You know that. I'm already done. It's Friday.
Speaker 4: You want do you want to go?
Speaker 1: Why don't you go?
Speaker 4: We'll take care of it.
Speaker 1: No, that's okay, that's okay, All right, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and move on.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 6: The foil Cap conspiracy crowd has got to be salivating
Speaker 6: Forresident Trump has announced that he's going to declassify all
Speaker 6: remaining files from the assassination of President John F. Kennedy
Speaker 6: is brother Robert F. Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin
Speaker 6: Luther King Junior. He signed an executive order at the
Speaker 6: White House yesterday and says he wants his Director of
Speaker 6: National Intelligence and the Attorney General to take about two
Speaker 6: weeks to come up with a plan on releasing the
Speaker 6: JFK files, and then they have forty five days to
Speaker 6: come up with plans to release the RFK and MLK files.
Speaker 2: Which makes all of sense in the world. I completely
Speaker 2: agree with Trump on this one. Why would files regarding
Speaker 2: the JFK assassination nineteen sixty three would still be classified?
Speaker 1: Why everybody is dead?
Speaker 2: Whatever national security is involved, You tell me from nineteen
Speaker 2: from the nineteen sixties now was in the middle of
Speaker 2: the Cold War.
Speaker 1: Maybe there is some connection.
Speaker 2: You know, there was an argument that Russia somehow was
Speaker 2: involved in this, but it's do you think it's time
Speaker 2: for us to know everything, including Martin Luther King, including
Speaker 2: Robert Kennedy.
Speaker 4: If Russia was involved, wouldn't that be an act of war?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Pretty much.
Speaker 2: But the point is, but this was so long ago
Speaker 2: it would be and maybe they kept it and no
Speaker 2: one wanted to deal with it, and the government didn't
Speaker 2: want to confront it, and there was evidence or it
Speaker 2: was bad evidence.
Speaker 1: But we have no idea. But the point is now,
Speaker 1: what you know? How long do you keep it? How
Speaker 1: long do you keep it secret?
Speaker 4: Aren't you curious?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: What they have?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: I just saw another documentary on the JFK assassinations by
Speaker 2: ninetieth one that I saw.
Speaker 4: You. Did you learn anything new on it?
Speaker 1: No? Not really.
Speaker 2: It's just what the doctor saw versus It's basically on
Speaker 2: the autopsy.
Speaker 1: What was the.
Speaker 2: Difference between what the Secret Service and the doctor saw
Speaker 2: at Parkland versus what the official autopsy was at Bethesda,
Speaker 2: and the two sort of contradict each other. And then
Speaker 2: they put they tried to put the pieces together, and
Speaker 2: they didn't do a really good job.
Speaker 1: That was what that was about. Okay, let's move on.
Speaker 5: United Healthcare announced the new CEO, boy that's a brave person,
Speaker 5: on Thursday, filling the spot after Brian Thompson was shot
Speaker 5: and killed in Midtown Manhattan in a targeted attack. So
Speaker 5: the company veteran Tim Noell or Noel, is the new
Speaker 5: United Healthcare CEO, the company said in an email statement.
Speaker 5: Noel has been the head of the company's Medicare and
Speaker 5: Retirement Division, according to the company's website.
Speaker 4: Okay, so what you're back.
Speaker 1: I mean it was only a question at a time
Speaker 1: as they search for someone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but who's You're right.
Speaker 2: The guy has some guts. I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 2: He's never going to take a walk around Manhattan on
Speaker 2: his own.
Speaker 4: I wonder if he negotiated for personal security.
Speaker 1: Oh, there was no question. It's not even a question
Speaker 1: of negotiating.
Speaker 2: You have these major corporations who now are forcing It's
Speaker 2: almost like the Secret Service with the President.
Speaker 1: You have no choice. We cannot let you be at risk.
Speaker 1: You run this company.
Speaker 6: More than just a drop in the hat for the
Speaker 6: Sackler family. Members of the family who own oxy conton
Speaker 6: maker Purdue Pharma, and the company itself have agreed to
Speaker 6: pay seven point four billion dollars in a new settlement
Speaker 6: to lawsuits over the toll the drug has taken. It
Speaker 6: replaces a previous settlement deal that got rejected by the
Speaker 6: US Supreme Court last year. In the new one, the
Speaker 6: Sacklers agreed to pay up to six and a half
Speaker 6: billion dollars and give up ownership of the company, which
Speaker 6: would pay nearly nine hundred million dollars and apparently the
Speaker 6: previous deal would have them pay five hundred million in
Speaker 6: the Supreme Court apparently said that wasn't enough.
Speaker 2: So yeah, also, and the Sacklers were off the hook too,
Speaker 2: and the previous settlement done finished this settlement, they still
Speaker 2: can be sued.
Speaker 3: Did you see that movie what's it called?
Speaker 4: I don't?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 3: So what about this whole?
Speaker 1: A great movie? Yes, I did.
Speaker 2: It is fascinating, and that actually all of the truth,
Speaker 2: I mean, those facts were true as it happened.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 5: CNN is laying off roughly two one hundred employees, or
Speaker 5: about six percent of its workforce. This is all part
Speaker 5: of their plan and their chief executive Mark Thompson, saying
Speaker 5: that their shift the cable TV brand to emphasize towards
Speaker 5: digital growth. They're saying that this is a response to
Speaker 5: the profound and irreversible shifts in the way audiences in
Speaker 5: America and around the world consume news.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one trusts CNN anymore, No mainstream media. They're
Speaker 1: all at Newsmax. What does that tell you?
Speaker 3: Okay, the name of the movie, by the way, is Painkiller.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay. The fires even hit the mayor close to home.
Speaker 6: La mer Bass says her brother lost his home in
Speaker 6: the Palisades fire. She says he had lived in Malibu
Speaker 6: for forty years, been through a lot of fires, had
Speaker 6: been forced to evacuate the home times, but this time
Speaker 6: wasn't able to get away and then La County DA
Speaker 6: Nathan Hoffman also said that his sister lost a home
Speaker 6: in the Pacific palises.
Speaker 1: How many people do we know? I know three people, No,
Speaker 1: three people who lost their homes.
Speaker 4: That's horrible.
Speaker 1: It is, it's horrific.
Speaker 5: I know one of her brothers and he is one
Speaker 5: of the kindest, nicest people you will ever meet.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping it wasn't him. President Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: Has revoked the security detail from his former Secretary of
Speaker 5: State Mike Pompeo. He'd received ongoing protection due to threats
Speaker 5: from Iran after taking a very hard line policy towards
Speaker 5: the country during Trump's first administration. And you know, reporters
Speaker 5: asked Trump why, and he said, hey, when you have protection,
Speaker 5: you can't have for the rest of your life.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Comes In the meantime, Pompeo had all kinds of death
Speaker 2: threats against him by Iran. John Bolt just had his
Speaker 2: security detailed yanked because he was the former UN ambassador
Speaker 2: and he came out against Trump.
Speaker 1: I interviewed him when he.
Speaker 2: Wrote his book, not very not favorable towards Trump. He
Speaker 2: just had his security detail and General Mark Milly Do
Speaker 2: I have his name right?
Speaker 1: Ay? That it is Mark Milly who former chief of staff.
