Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Especially for example, when the poop comes out, that makes
more room for additional food.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I mean, see that, boyd, that's I've.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Never understood that happening with anybody.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Wait a second, poo doesn't push out the poop yet more.
That is a fact. By the way, that's all.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Of us, that's every living creature on the planet.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle, and good morning everybody. Go handle here.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's a Friday, a foody Friday, September thirteenth. By the way,
that last promo was yesterday when Neil and I and
we all got into termite poop talk and Neil had
done what his spot and.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I was talking about the thug man and explaining that
by the time you see the poop.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
That it's cut, that it's uh, by.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
The time you see it's already been two years.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, which is kind of bizarre. I mean, that's a
serious constipation issue two years later.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Okay, this is kind of there's a lot of cellulose
and fiber it would.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But yeah, go figure absolutely well, we're going to say
something this morning uh, and and I forgot what it
was already. Another Biden moment that, now, by the way,
is a new term that we use in the United States,
our English language version of English is we now have
a Biden.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Moment mental constipation.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, pretty much. And I just had one of those. Okay,
it's a Friday. Oh you know what else.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
We're going to try it today, something new which I
haven't done it. I've never done it, and I wanted
to try it today. We're going to try it at
seven fifty. And it is Oh no, it's not seven fifty,
it's eight.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Uh. Carry the one.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's eight thirty, I think, right, yeah, it's a thirty,
thank you. And she puts this up and sometimes I
pay attention.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I was just watching him. I knew what it was,
but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You watched him, you know this line where he's scrunched
up and pointing. And because what Anne does is gives
me the runout the rundown, which I put up and
I look at it and yeah, that's that's always been
the case, because I can't remember this stuff. And usually
and it starts with hi, this is Bill handle, because
(02:41):
quite often I forget my name. Incidentally, that is not
particularly shtick either, ask Neil. I have forgotten my name
many times when introducing myself.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
What's at the top of that page.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Here's Amy King for our newsroom that time. Yeah, yeah,
you know I should take a picture of that.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you don't want to do We'll put that on
on Instagram and say Bill needs these in order to
even introduce himself and do the show in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, let me say hello, and then I'm I tell
you what.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
We're gonna do at eight thirty, which I have wanted
to do and I never have on this show, and
it's going to be great fun.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Amy kon O'Neil and good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Good morning, okay, Glass, thank you very much, Good morning
to you.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Excellent Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Now, for those of you that have never listened to
Handle on the Law, which I do Saturdays from eight
to eleven o'clock, what makes the show a lot of
fun is certainly not my legal advice, which is that
can be entertaining, because as you know, I make it
up for the most part when I say marginal legal advice.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So I have a great story about that too. It's
the phone calls that come in.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
How insane people are, and that show has been going on.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Man, are you ready for this? Older than you are? Neil.
That show it first premiered in Are You Ready? Boys
and Girls? Nineteen eighty five. I've been doing the show
for that long.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, I still get questions that I've never asked. I've
never been asked in any case.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So we're going through the archives, and occasionally I'll go
through the archives and listen to the phone calls, and
some of them, a lot of them are wildly entertaining,
interspersed with interspersed with my complete lack of knowledge of
the law and making it up and having people believe it.
And the more I tell them I make it up,
(04:41):
they believe it. It's very strange. The dynamic dynamic is
so weird. So today we are going to do a
couple of phone calls at the eight thirty hour or
the eight thirty segment of a couple of previous Handle
on the Law phone calls that we've pulled out of
our our I have every phone call, every minute of that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Show that I have done since nineteen eighty five. You
know how many.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Thousands of hours and zillions of phone calls you look
at what I have.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I have giant reels of tape.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I have cassettes, I have dats, I have CDs. No
no records, although that's very good too, the old seventy eights.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I have some of those. In any case, so we
pulled some.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Of the phone calls over the past several years, and
that's coming up at eight thirty this morning, So that
should be funny. So you want to stay tuned for that,
or you don't, cause I'm going to have a good
time listening.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay, guys, you ready to do it?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yes, sir, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
On a foody Friday, September thirteenth, handle on the news,
Amy Neil and Me lead story thirty three thousand Boeing
union members begin their strike. It is very rough for Boeing.
(06:07):
I mean very rough. I'm going to do more about
this is seven o'clock because this story has many different levels.
One of the stories is that there were union workers
in the factory and they the factory locked down its
door so workers couldn't get out, and then they realized
it was really easy to punch out the windows, and
they went out the windows. Okay, sometimes that works, sometimes
(06:31):
it doesn't. Anyway more at seven o'clock. Hey, what a start,
huh this morning.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
You know what I think it's interesting about this story
is that the union and Boeing had a deal. Yeah,
they had the agreement, and then the workers voted on
it in ninety five percent of them said oh, hell
no and said they didn't want the deal.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And all that almost never happens because usually when union
management says, this is our deal, this is what we've
agreed to, we suggest you sign this deal accepted, it's
virtually always yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Not this time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'll do a lot more than that at seven o'clock.
You're absolutely right on that one.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Amy.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So the Attorney General is talking tough. I like it
when Merrick Garland tries to talk tough. But he slammed
what he called efforts to turn the Justice Department into
a political weapon. He gave us speech to Department staff
and US attorneys from across the country yesterday and without
mentioning Trump, that was the focus of it. His comments
(07:33):
come as Trump has claimed the Justice Department has been
weaponized against him amid his criminal prosecutions and suggested that
he would politicize the department if he gets re elected.
Garland said, there is not one rule for friends and
another for foes, one rule for the powerful and another
for the power less, one for the rich and another
(07:53):
for the poor.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I mean, if you're rich, you got a better
deal because you simply have better attorneys.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That's always a given. But Garland, one of.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
The tenants of the Department of Justice and the federal
government is that the executive the presidency always gives the
Department of Justice a tremendous amount of leeway.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Does not get in the way a lot of independence.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And what Trump is saying that they have not that
Garland in fact, has ordered the Department to go after him,
and it's Joe Biden that made that order, and he
has weaponized the DOJ. Also during the debate, he said
that Joe Biden weaponized the States, New York and Georgia
to go after him as if he had the power.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So Garland very very.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Upset about it, the accusation that it has been weaponized,
and he has said anybody even accuses us of weaponization
will immediately be arrested.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, okay, we'll play.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Speaking of Trump, everybody likes to talk about him. For
former President Donald Trump said just yesterday he will not
take part in any more debates ahead of twenty twenty
four of the twenty twenty four election. He goes on
to say that Kamala was a no show for the
Fox debate and refused to do NBC and CBS. Kamala
(09:20):
should focus on what she should have done during the
last almost four year period. There will be no third debate,
he puts in there the Biden debate as well, and
Harris says that she's she's she's ready to go as
long as she can bring her own moderators from ABC,
(09:42):
David Mira and Lindsey Davis to help her out again.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, and you're.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Actually facing a ton of backlash about it.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
They are.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And then the argument the sid is all they did
was all they did was fact check.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That's it. That is their defense. That's their defense.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yes, but you know what, but it was not balanced.
They jumped in for one. And too. There's debate as
to whether a botched abortion, if the baby is still breathing,
whether they finished the job afterwards, would be a post
birth abortion.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, well, first of all, yeah, but he said she
believes in that, and she has never said she believes
in it ever. Ever, and it is you cannot say
that they want or she sidestepped many. I thought she
did agree job a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And they were not.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
They were not looking to correct her in any way.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
She except, however, look at the number of lies that
Trump said versus hers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Uh, I mean blatantly.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
She said she doesn't want to take away anybody's guns,
but she has made it very clear that she wants
to take away assault rifles. How can you say the
two things she didn't say.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
To take away assault rifles? She says, you can't assault rifles. No.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
What she wanted to make she wanted to bring.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Back the ban, well, it's a buy ban or just
take what what happens? Okay?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Does has she ever advocated you have assault bands?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You have assault weapons? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And she advocates that no one can buy assault weapons anymore?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
There is a band?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Has she advocated everybody must turn in their assault weapons?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
That's fair?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I don't think she has. Amy says yes she has.
I'd like to know if I'm wrong, Why.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Do people need assault weapons?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well? I thought my question too, Why do people need as.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
An assault weapon? There are legal guns? A mini fourteen?
I think it's rugor that makes it is does the
exact same thing as an AR fifteen, but it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Does does the bullet go? Does it go? Does the
bullet go as quickly? Is it the same caliber? Exactly?
Everything to the next.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Okay, let's do this. We can have a great time
with that one. But you know, the cats, you know,
they don't eat cats. He corrected that one because that's
not you know, we should allow the cats are eaten
and dogs are eaten.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay, let's let that one fly. What's the other one.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
There were a few others, and that was and by
the way, I'm not arguing that it wasn't biased. It
was biased, I think, but a lot of it was
fact checking. It's the first time I've ever seen fact
checking saying, wait a minute, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
The point is that they didn't do it on both sides.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But the point also is, and you're right, but hers
one or two his which they could have corrected, and
it wasn't nearly as blatant as the crazy stuff that
Trump said, I mean saying.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Stuff and logic. All right, it comes to these things.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All right, let's go on. It's a buy ban or
just take on what happens.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Okay, does has she ever advocated you have assault bands?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You have assault weapons?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And she advocates that no one can buy assault weapons anymore,
there is a band. Has she advocated everybody must turn
in their assault weapons?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I don't think she has. Amy says, yes she has.
I'd like to know if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Why do people need assault weapons?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well? I thought my question too, why do people.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Need an assault weapon? There are legal guns? A Mini
fourteen I think it's rugor that makes it is does
the exact same thing as an AR fifteen?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
But it doesn't area does does the bullet go? Does
it go? Does the bullet go as quickly? Is it
the same caliber? Exactly? Everything? Next?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, let's do this. We can have a great time
with that one. But you know, the cats, you know,
they don't eat cats. He corrected that one, because that's
not you know, we should allow the the cats eating
and dogs are eaten.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay, let's let that one fly. Uh, what's the other one?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
There were a few others and that was and by
the way, I'm not arguing that it wasn't biased. It
was biased, I think, but a lot of it was
fact checking. So first time I've ever seen fact checking
saying wait a minute, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
The point is that they didn't do it on both sides.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But the point also is, and you're right, but hers
one or two his which he they could have corrected
and it wasn't nearly as blatant as the crazy stuff
that Trump said, I mean saying.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Stuff and logic. All right, it comes to these things.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
All right, let's let's go on.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh god, I love screaming with you guys and arguing
this is my life is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, all right, let's take a very late day. It
is when that happens.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
You want to talk about being on fire?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh yeah, we have to talk about fires amy Wait
wait what? Okay, Yeah, we just did the story about
Trump says he won't participate, and he also said and
the reason he won't one of the reasons because he
won the debate, and winners don't debate, only losers ask
for a rematch, and since he won, that's his statement
part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And the other one was that she did not want
to go on Fox. By the way, Yeah, but let
me ask you something.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If you were a Democrat and you were debating, would
you do a Fox, a Fox town hall or a Fox.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Debate in front of an audience. In front of a
Fox audience, that is crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You would go on every other network.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And by the way, if I were Trump, I would
not go on CNN in front of an audience.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And so so much for that. All right, now let's
talk fires, Amy.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Okay, so quick update on the fires. We've got three
big ones burning. The one in the San Bernardino Mountains
up around Big Bear Running Springs. That area thirty eight
thousand acres, almost twenty one percent surrounded. The one that
started in Tribuca Canyon in Orange County and has since
moved over into Riverside County is over twenty three thousand
(15:57):
acres and still five percent surrounded. And then the big
one that's burning in the state is fifty two thousand acres.
That's the one that's up near right Wood and Mount Baldy.
It's zero percent contained. But they are saying that the
cooler weather, higher humidity, lighter wins, that's all helping to
stop the fires from spreading more.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
But now they got to try to get lines around
them and stop them.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
And the guy who is charged with arson in for
starting the San Bernardino fire is justin Halstenberg. He's now
facing nine felony charges and he's supposed to be in
court today to be rained. And the prosecutors are saying
that he tried three times to start a fire. The
(16:39):
last one was successful and that fire started near Baseline
Road in Highland, and they said they found incendiary devices.
The first two attempts unsuccessful. Again, the third one worked
and then they found him because automatic license plate readers
picked up the same vehicle in all three areas.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I was watching a news where one of the fire
captains who was doing a press conference said, arson is
one of those head scratcher crimes.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You get nothing out of it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You're not stealing money, you're not in a crime of passion.
It's just there's no reason, I guess, just because you're
a pyromaniac and you like watching buildings burn and people
burn up and die and it's just crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But there's some weird psychology there. There's gotta be yeah there,
that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
All right.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
So four point seven magnitude earthquake as we know Strutton
Malibu area yesterday. We were on the air during that,
making it the fourteenth earthquake sequence of magnitude four point
zero in southern California this year. That is the most
since nineteen eighty eight. It's coming Bill seven, Well, it's
(17:52):
seven twenty.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
We have a seismologist that's joining us from the US
Geological Survey, and Susan h is her.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Name, and she's going to explain.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Why it's important or not important, and does it mean
something or does it not mean something. And it's really
up in the air because we are looking at earthquakes.
I heard Amy that you were still feeling after shocks.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
We just we had one at four fifty six this morning.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Three quite four felt one yet.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Well the three point four you might not feel, but
Dean Sharp said he felt it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And where Dean is out where, I forget where he goes.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I think he's.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, I think he's.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Out west, and that's where it was at Malibu, because
I have friends of mine a matter of fact, that
people that own Zelman's, Anthony and Lauren, they're in Calabasas
and they really.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Felt it and they said I didn't feel it at all.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
All Right, Well, there has been some shaking in the
south Land, and apparently that rattled some people. Because after
the four point seven quake that hit at seven twenty
eight yesterday near Malibu, there were more than twenty thousand
downloads of the my Shake app in just three hours.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Of course, now the problem is does it really work?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Because while we were talking about the earthquake yesterday, that's
when my Shake app went off, supposed to give you
like thirty seconds advance warning.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I'm going to have a seismologist at seven twenty and
Amy jump in and ask that question if you would
with her, because that, I think is one hell of
a question, because the whole point is to warn you
in advance, because it doesn't do you any good as
you're flying across the room.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
In a major shaking and.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
All then you're told, guess what you're about to fly
across the room.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You're going it just happened, So we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We'll talk to her. Our name is Susan Huff. Susan Huff.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, what if it was warning Amy about the aftershock?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, maybe that was.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
That's where the confusion comes in.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
All right, Well that's why we're going to talk to
the seismologists.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Okay, Governor gav News Captain Hansome. Just yesterday signed new
legislation that would increase penalties for individuals who take damage
or destroy property while committing any felony full stop. The
interesting thing is is the ACLU came out against this
(20:21):
because it disenfranchises black and I hate this term LATINX.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Maybe it disenfranchises the people who are committing these smash
and grab robberies.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Well it does.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
But still anything anything that separates out black Latin Indigenous people,
notwithstanding socioeconomic standards, what they should do is not mention
any of that and just talk about socioeconomic levels. However,
once you dive into it, it's black, Hispanic Indigenous. So
(20:55):
as always, any law, any criminal law that is applied,
is going to somehow they're going to are discriminat lying discriminate.
How about this one? How about this one? And I
you know, I always make fun of being Jewish, as
you know, all the financial crime laws that have been passed,
(21:18):
they discriminate against Jews because the Jews are always the
one that are ones in prison for financial crime. Statistically speaking, okay,
now what but.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Doesn't the acl ACLU doesn't that imply that people are
color of color are the ones committing the most crimes.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Not necessarily, they say, the interesting organization, I mean they back.
My favorite ACLU story is if you remember the Neo
Nazis marching in Skogee, Illinois.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And this is the community of which they have a
huge number of Holocaust rorivors. And this was maybe twenty
five years ago and they asked for a permit to
march down in Skogie. We're talking about the Neo Nazis,
and they were denied the permit. ACLU went to court
and argue they should get the permit. It's first Amendment issue.
These are for Nazis. So that's what the ACL you
(22:13):
do does?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I hate him.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
A warning from Russia, President Putin says allowing Ukraine to
use long long range missiles to strike inside Russia would
be seen by Moscow as NATO's direct entry into the war.
He said, this will mean that NATO countries, the US
and European countries are at war with Russia, and we
will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that
(22:40):
will be posed to US.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Okay, this is about the fourth time out he has
said that right if Western arms are used against this,
that is the West declaring war.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
If Ukrainian troops come into our country using Western weapons,
that is a declaration of war. Okay, fine, If medium
range missiles are used against US that were provided by
the West, or the extension of the range of missiles
which happened, that was a declaration of war. Now is
(23:16):
if it allows to use long range missiles by supply
by NATO, that's a declaration of war. And by the way,
if Russia thinks that NATO has declared war against Russia,
what does it do? Does it fight NATO? Does it
go to the border of Poland and invade Poland?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
What does it do? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well, how do you think Russia would do in a
fight against NATO Western Group of nations? Very highly trained forces,
they do war exercises every year, some of the best,
actually the best military.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
That exists on the planet. And they're going to go
to war. And Russia is going to go to war
with NATO. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
The only thing the only thing Russia can do realistically
is drop a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That's it. Use nuclear weapons. That'll do it. That's the
war and is putin that crazy Kim Jong un? Isn't
that crazy? We think?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Okay, fingers crossed. New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Kaban
has resigned, he said just yesterday in a statement marking
the first high profile departure from Mayor Eric adams administration.
So if you remember, there was four separate federal investigations
going on in his office there at the with the
(24:44):
NYP eed rather and so this departure comes, I don't know,
just a couple of days after it was first reported
investigators with the US Attorney's Office for New York the
Southern Different District had seized a bunch of electronics, phones
and devices in.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
The like, Yeah, this is this is interesting because there's
two kinds of corruption when you're dealing under these circumstances.
One straight out corruption, help me, I'll give you a
pile of money.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Here's a bribe.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
The other one involves family members, and that is there's
just some hinky stuff going on. This is his brother
who was involved in nightclubs and the enforcement or lack
of I mean, if anybody is smart, if I were
in office, I would do one of two things. Not
let a family member have anything to do with the city,
(25:38):
or say, my brother is bidding on this and I'm
recusing myself and make it as public as you possibly can.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's the only way around. So you're gonna find out.
I'm convinced there's all kinds of wrongdoing. And he quit.
He just said I'm going to be.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
A distraction if he were innocent, If I were innocent,
I'd fight this all the way down the line, unless
Eric Adams forces me to resign and fires me, which
didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay, ready to jump back in the game.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Buy a house hold on Mortgage rates this week have
fallen to their lowest point since February of twenty twenty three.
The thirty year fixed rate averaged six point two percent,
down from a twenty year high of seven point seventy
nine percent in October of last year.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, that's a healthy jump until you realize we used
to have three percent money, and this still seems astronomically high.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We're not going back to that three percent, no, never.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
I think I bought my last house at five and
a half percent in thought, Wow, that's a good rate.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, that's about right. Five and a half percent is
a decent regular rate.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
But you know, you get twenty years of three percent
money and all of a sudden, you that's what you're
used to. And the unfortunate part is that that's aberrational.
That is. Yeah, you know what you would pay, by
the way, during the Civil War or right after the
Civil War, when you would mortgage a peace property, you
(27:05):
know how much interest you'd pay?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
About five and a half percent.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Really, yeah, yeah, it's about right.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, that seems it's about right.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So the three percent is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And the nine percent, I don't know if you were
around during Jimmy Carter years that hit seventeen.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Percent mortgage rates.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I mean that was insanity, but that was inflation that
was truly beyond control.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I think my parents bought a house when it was
that high.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Just crazy, and then they had to do quote some
kind of creative financing. I don't even know what.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
That was, but it was just completely insane.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
You got good prices, though, if you could buy a
place for cash, you got a great deal.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
All right, we kind of expected this. An Israeli intelligence commander,
a lot of critics were coming after or him, saying
that he played a pivotal role in failing to prevent
the October seventh attacks. He is residing and he says
I did not fulfill the task. I was as I
(28:15):
expected of myself, those at my command and commanders expected me,
and the citizens of the state that I love so much.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
So what you're not finding in Israel is anybody pointing
the fingers and saying it's not my fault, it's that
person's fault over there. It wasn't me, it was my underlings,
it was everybody is coming to the.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Table said yep, I failed.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I failed, including Natanyahu by the way, he said we failed,
and he won't resign.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
There's no chance.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Okay, this pilot gets some kudos because he stopped what
could have been a really really now crash. There was
pilots on an Alaska air flight Airlines flight in Nashville.
We're taking off and a Southwest flight crossed the runway,
so they quick thinking slammed on the brakes and averted
(29:15):
a crash. And everybody's okay, But wow, how scary it's now.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
How many close calls have we had in recent months.
I mean, every day there's another close call and just
just waiting for one of those catastrophes that happened. Not
so much mid air collisions, but stuff on the runway
is just completely crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Do you think it's because of more flights or the
or is there something I think there?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Well, first of all, there are fewer flights than there
were because airlines have in fact consolidated their flights into
fewer airplanes and fuller airplanes. I you know what, it's
just I think there's the air traffic controllers are working
too hard.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
There's not enough of them.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You know. The worst air does master in history were
two airplanes on the runway crashing into each other, two
fully loaded seven forty sevens.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
That was in tenor Reef off of Spain.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
They crashed at full tilt to seven forty sevens.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
So they were all off at the same time.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I either they were taking off, they could have been,
but they ran into each other almost head on.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, or at least one was at speed.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Going to another runway. I don't remember the exact circumstances,
but there were. Do you remember that, Amy, I don't
remember that one.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Oh yeah, that's because you're not one hundred and fifty
years old.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Okay, what speed are they going before takeoff? Before you?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
One hundred and eighty two hundred miles an hour?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
All right? Southern California teachers under investigation. The allegations here
are that he fathered a child with one of his
students back in the eighties, and there is the possibility
that he had a sexual relationship with another student around
the same time. This was an Anaheim and they are
looking into this. The authorities are looking into this to
(31:10):
see if there is anything that can be I don't
think I prosecuted.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
There has to be a statute issue here because this
is forty years ago. Now, might there be a lawsuit
with the student against the teacher.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I think that is. I think that statute has rolled up.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
First, there was a period of time where the statute
was open and you could sue for any allegation like
this at any time. That's we're talking of civilly. But
I think that rolled up. There was a time limit
on that one too.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Steve Graves is the name of the teacher who has
been identified sixty one and was still working in Anaheim
Union High School District.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, so he was in his early twenty He was
in his early twenties.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I guess he would have had to been if he's one.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Now and the kids are now in forty in their forties. Yeah,
all right, this is KFI AM six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Catch My Show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Especially for example, when the poop comes out, that makes
more room for additional food.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I mean, see that, boyd, that's I've.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Never understood that happening with anybody.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Wait a second, poo doesn't push out the poop yet more.
That is a fact. By the way, that's all.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Of us, that's every living creature on the planet.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle, and good morning everybody. Go handle here.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It's a Friday, a foody Friday, September thirteenth. By the way,
that last promo was yesterday when Neil and I and
we all got into termite poop talk and Neil had
done what his spot and.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I was talking about the thug man and explaining that
by the time you see the poop.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
That it's cut, that it's uh, by.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
The time you see it's already been two years.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, which is kind of bizarre. I mean, that's a
serious constipation issue two years later.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Okay, this is kind of there's a lot of cellulose
and fiber it would.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But yeah, go figure absolutely well, we're going to say
something this morning uh, and and I forgot what it
was already. Another Biden moment that, now, by the way,
is a new term that we use in the United States,
our English language version of English is we now have
a Biden.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Moment mental constipation.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah, pretty much. And I just had one of those. Okay,
it's a Friday. Oh you know what else.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
We're going to try it today, something new which I
haven't done it. I've never done it, and I wanted
to try it today. We're going to try it at
seven fifty. And it is Oh no, it's not seven fifty,
it's eight.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Uh. Carry the one.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
It's eight thirty, I think, right, yeah, it's a thirty,
thank you. And she puts this up and sometimes I
pay attention.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I was just watching him. I knew what it was,
but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You watched him, you know this line where he's scrunched
up and pointing. And because what Anne does is gives
me the runout the rundown, which I put up and
I look at it and yeah, that's that's always been
the case, because I can't remember this stuff. And usually
and it starts with hi, this is Bill handle, because
(02:41):
quite often I forget my name. Incidentally, that is not
particularly shtick either, ask Neil. I have forgotten my name
many times when introducing myself.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
What's at the top of that page.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Here's Amy King for our newsroom that time. Yeah, yeah,
you know I should take a picture of that.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you don't want to do We'll put that on
on Instagram and say Bill needs these in order to
even introduce himself and do the show in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, let me say hello, and then I'm I tell
you what.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
We're gonna do at eight thirty, which I have wanted
to do and I never have on this show, and
it's going to be great fun.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Amy kon O'Neil and good morning.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Good morning, okay, Glass, thank you very much, Good morning
to you.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Excellent Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Now, for those of you that have never listened to
Handle on the Law, which I do Saturdays from eight
to eleven o'clock, what makes the show a lot of
fun is certainly not my legal advice, which is that
can be entertaining, because as you know, I make it
up for the most part when I say marginal legal advice.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So I have a great story about that too. It's
the phone calls that come in.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
How insane people are, and that show has been going on.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Man, are you ready for this? Older than you are? Neil.
That show it first premiered in Are You Ready? Boys
and Girls? Nineteen eighty five. I've been doing the show
for that long.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, I still get questions that I've never asked. I've
never been asked in any case.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
So we're going through the archives, and occasionally I'll go
through the archives and listen to the phone calls, and
some of them, a lot of them are wildly entertaining,
interspersed with interspersed with my complete lack of knowledge of
the law and making it up and having people believe it.
And the more I tell them I make it up,
(04:41):
they believe it. It's very strange. The dynamic dynamic is
so weird. So today we are going to do a
couple of phone calls at the eight thirty hour or
the eight thirty segment of a couple of previous Handle
on the Law phone calls that we've pulled out of
our our I have every phone call, every minute of that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Show that I have done since nineteen eighty five. You
know how many.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Thousands of hours and zillions of phone calls you look
at what I have.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I have giant reels of tape.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I have cassettes, I have dats, I have CDs. No
no records, although that's very good too, the old seventy eights.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I have some of those. In any case, so we
pulled some.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Of the phone calls over the past several years, and
that's coming up at eight thirty this morning, So that
should be funny. So you want to stay tuned for that,
or you don't, cause I'm going to have a good
time listening.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay, guys, you ready to do it?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yes, sir, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
On a foody Friday, September thirteenth, handle on the news,
Amy Neil and Me lead story thirty three thousand Boeing
union members begin their strike. It is very rough for Boeing.
(06:07):
I mean very rough. I'm going to do more about
this is seven o'clock because this story has many different levels.
One of the stories is that there were union workers
in the factory and they the factory locked down its
door so workers couldn't get out, and then they realized
it was really easy to punch out the windows, and
they went out the windows. Okay, sometimes that works, sometimes
(06:31):
it doesn't. Anyway more at seven o'clock. Hey, what a start,
huh this morning.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
You know what I think it's interesting about this story
is that the union and Boeing had a deal. Yeah,
they had the agreement, and then the workers voted on
it in ninety five percent of them said oh, hell
no and said they didn't want the deal.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And all that almost never happens because usually when union
management says, this is our deal, this is what we've
agreed to, we suggest you sign this deal accepted, it's
virtually always yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Not this time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I'll do a lot more than that at seven o'clock.
You're absolutely right on that one.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Amy.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
So the Attorney General is talking tough. I like it
when Merrick Garland tries to talk tough. But he slammed
what he called efforts to turn the Justice Department into
a political weapon. He gave us speech to Department staff
and US attorneys from across the country yesterday and without
mentioning Trump, that was the focus of it. His comments
(07:33):
come as Trump has claimed the Justice Department has been
weaponized against him amid his criminal prosecutions and suggested that
he would politicize the department if he gets re elected.
Garland said, there is not one rule for friends and
another for foes, one rule for the powerful and another
for the power less, one for the rich and another
(07:53):
for the poor.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I mean, if you're rich, you got a better
deal because you simply have better attorneys.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That's always a given. But Garland, one of.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
The tenants of the Department of Justice and the federal
government is that the executive the presidency always gives the
Department of Justice a tremendous amount of leeway.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Does not get in the way a lot of independence.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And what Trump is saying that they have not that
Garland in fact, has ordered the Department to go after him,
and it's Joe Biden that made that order, and he
has weaponized the DOJ. Also during the debate, he said
that Joe Biden weaponized the States, New York and Georgia
to go after him as if he had the power.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So Garland very very.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Upset about it, the accusation that it has been weaponized,
and he has said anybody even accuses us of weaponization
will immediately be arrested.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Okay, okay, we'll play.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Speaking of Trump, everybody likes to talk about him. For
former President Donald Trump said just yesterday he will not
take part in any more debates ahead of twenty twenty
four of the twenty twenty four election. He goes on
to say that Kamala was a no show for the
Fox debate and refused to do NBC and CBS. Kamala
(09:20):
should focus on what she should have done during the
last almost four year period. There will be no third debate,
he puts in there the Biden debate as well, and
Harris says that she's she's she's ready to go as
long as she can bring her own moderators from ABC,
(09:42):
David Mira and Lindsey Davis to help her out again.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, and you're.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Actually facing a ton of backlash about it.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
They are.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And then the argument the sid is all they did
was all they did was fact check.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That's it. That is their defense. That's their defense.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yes, but you know what, but it was not balanced.
They jumped in for one. And too. There's debate as
to whether a botched abortion, if the baby is still breathing,
whether they finished the job afterwards, would be a post
birth abortion.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, well, first of all, yeah, but he said she
believes in that, and she has never said she believes
in it ever. Ever, and it is you cannot say
that they want or she sidestepped many. I thought she
did agree job a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And they were not.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
They were not looking to correct her in any way.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
She except, however, look at the number of lies that
Trump said versus hers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Uh, I mean blatantly.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
She said she doesn't want to take away anybody's guns,
but she has made it very clear that she wants
to take away assault rifles. How can you say the
two things she didn't say.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
To take away assault rifles? She says, you can't assault rifles. No.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
What she wanted to make she wanted to bring.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Back the ban, well, it's a buy ban or just
take what what happens? Okay?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Does has she ever advocated you have assault bands?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You have assault weapons? All right?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And she advocates that no one can buy assault weapons anymore?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
There is a band?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Has she advocated everybody must turn in their assault weapons?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
That's fair?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I don't think she has. Amy says yes she has.
I'd like to know if I'm wrong, Why.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Do people need assault weapons?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well? I thought my question too, Why do people need as.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
An assault weapon? There are legal guns? A mini fourteen?
I think it's rugor that makes it is does the
exact same thing as an AR fifteen, but it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Does does the bullet go? Does it go? Does the
bullet go as quickly? Is it the same caliber? Exactly?
Everything to the next.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Okay, let's do this. We can have a great time
with that one. But you know, the cats, you know,
they don't eat cats. He corrected that one because that's
not you know, we should allow the cats are eaten
and dogs are eaten.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay, let's let that one fly. What's the other one.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
There were a few others, and that was and by
the way, I'm not arguing that it wasn't biased. It
was biased, I think, but a lot of it was
fact checking. It's the first time I've ever seen fact
checking saying, wait a minute, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
The point is that they didn't do it on both sides.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But the point also is, and you're right, but hers
one or two his which they could have corrected, and
it wasn't nearly as blatant as the crazy stuff that
Trump said, I mean saying.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Stuff and logic. All right, it comes to these things.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All right, let's go on. It's a buy ban or
just take on what happens.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Okay, does has she ever advocated you have assault bands?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You have assault weapons?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
All right?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And she advocates that no one can buy assault weapons anymore,
there is a band. Has she advocated everybody must turn
in their assault weapons?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
That's fair.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I don't think she has. Amy says, yes she has.
I'd like to know if I'm wrong.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Why do people need assault weapons?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Well? I thought my question too, why do people.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Need an assault weapon? There are legal guns? A Mini
fourteen I think it's rugor that makes it is does
the exact same thing as an AR fifteen?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
But it doesn't area does does the bullet go? Does
it go? Does the bullet go as quickly? Is it
the same caliber? Exactly? Everything? Next?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Okay, let's do this. We can have a great time
with that one. But you know, the cats, you know,
they don't eat cats. He corrected that one, because that's
not you know, we should allow the the cats eating
and dogs are eaten.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay, let's let that one fly. Uh, what's the other one?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
There were a few others and that was and by
the way, I'm not arguing that it wasn't biased. It
was biased, I think, but a lot of it was
fact checking. So first time I've ever seen fact checking
saying wait a minute, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
The point is that they didn't do it on both sides.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But the point also is, and you're right, but hers
one or two his which he they could have corrected
and it wasn't nearly as blatant as the crazy stuff
that Trump said, I mean saying.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Stuff and logic. All right, it comes to these things.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
All right, let's let's go on.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh god, I love screaming with you guys and arguing
this is my life is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Now, all right, let's take a very late day. It
is when that happens.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
You want to talk about being on fire?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh yeah, we have to talk about fires amy Wait
wait what? Okay, Yeah, we just did the story about
Trump says he won't participate, and he also said and
the reason he won't one of the reasons because he
won the debate, and winners don't debate, only losers ask
for a rematch, and since he won, that's his statement
part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
And the other one was that she did not want
to go on Fox. By the way, Yeah, but let
me ask you something.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
If you were a Democrat and you were debating, would
you do a Fox, a Fox town hall or a Fox.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Debate in front of an audience. In front of a
Fox audience, that is crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You would go on every other network.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And by the way, if I were Trump, I would
not go on CNN in front of an audience.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And so so much for that. All right, now let's
talk fires, Amy.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Okay, so quick update on the fires. We've got three
big ones burning. The one in the San Bernardino Mountains
up around Big Bear Running Springs. That area thirty eight
thousand acres, almost twenty one percent surrounded. The one that
started in Tribuca Canyon in Orange County and has since
moved over into Riverside County is over twenty three thousand
(15:57):
acres and still five percent surrounded. And then the big
one that's burning in the state is fifty two thousand acres.
That's the one that's up near right Wood and Mount Baldy.
It's zero percent contained. But they are saying that the
cooler weather, higher humidity, lighter wins, that's all helping to
stop the fires from spreading more.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
But now they got to try to get lines around
them and stop them.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
And the guy who is charged with arson in for
starting the San Bernardino fire is justin Halstenberg. He's now
facing nine felony charges and he's supposed to be in
court today to be rained. And the prosecutors are saying
that he tried three times to start a fire. The
(16:39):
last one was successful and that fire started near Baseline
Road in Highland, and they said they found incendiary devices.
The first two attempts unsuccessful. Again, the third one worked
and then they found him because automatic license plate readers
picked up the same vehicle in all three areas.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I was watching a news where one of the fire
captains who was doing a press conference said, arson is
one of those head scratcher crimes.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You get nothing out of it.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You're not stealing money, you're not in a crime of passion.
It's just there's no reason, I guess, just because you're
a pyromaniac and you like watching buildings burn and people
burn up and die and it's just crazy.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But there's some weird psychology there. There's gotta be yeah there,
that's yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
All right.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
So four point seven magnitude earthquake as we know Strutton
Malibu area yesterday. We were on the air during that,
making it the fourteenth earthquake sequence of magnitude four point
zero in southern California this year. That is the most
since nineteen eighty eight. It's coming Bill seven, Well, it's
(17:52):
seven twenty.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
We have a seismologist that's joining us from the US
Geological Survey, and Susan h is her.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Name, and she's going to explain.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Why it's important or not important, and does it mean
something or does it not mean something. And it's really
up in the air because we are looking at earthquakes.
I heard Amy that you were still feeling after shocks.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
We just we had one at four fifty six this morning.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Three quite four felt one yet.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Well the three point four you might not feel, but
Dean Sharp said he felt it.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And where Dean is out where, I forget where he goes.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I think he's.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, I think he's.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Out west, and that's where it was at Malibu, because
I have friends of mine a matter of fact, that
people that own Zelman's, Anthony and Lauren, they're in Calabasas
and they really.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Felt it and they said I didn't feel it at all.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
All Right, Well, there has been some shaking in the
south Land, and apparently that rattled some people. Because after
the four point seven quake that hit at seven twenty
eight yesterday near Malibu, there were more than twenty thousand
downloads of the my Shake app in just three hours.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Of course, now the problem is does it really work?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Because while we were talking about the earthquake yesterday, that's
when my Shake app went off, supposed to give you
like thirty seconds advance warning.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I'm going to have a seismologist at seven twenty and
Amy jump in and ask that question if you would
with her, because that, I think is one hell of
a question, because the whole point is to warn you
in advance, because it doesn't do you any good as
you're flying across the room.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
In a major shaking and.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
All then you're told, guess what you're about to fly
across the room.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
You're going it just happened, So we'll talk.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
We'll talk to her. Our name is Susan Huff. Susan Huff.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, what if it was warning Amy about the aftershock?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, maybe that was.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
That's where the confusion comes in.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
All right, Well that's why we're going to talk to
the seismologists.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Okay, Governor gav News Captain Hansome. Just yesterday signed new
legislation that would increase penalties for individuals who take damage
or destroy property while committing any felony full stop. The
interesting thing is is the ACLU came out against this
(20:21):
because it disenfranchises black and I hate this term LATINX.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Maybe it disenfranchises the people who are committing these smash
and grab robberies.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Well it does.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
But still anything anything that separates out black Latin Indigenous people,
notwithstanding socioeconomic standards, what they should do is not mention
any of that and just talk about socioeconomic levels. However,
once you dive into it, it's black, Hispanic Indigenous. So
(20:55):
as always, any law, any criminal law that is applied,
is going to somehow they're going to are discriminat lying discriminate.
How about this one? How about this one? And I
you know, I always make fun of being Jewish, as
you know, all the financial crime laws that have been passed,
(21:18):
they discriminate against Jews because the Jews are always the
one that are ones in prison for financial crime. Statistically speaking, okay,
now what but.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Doesn't the acl ACLU doesn't that imply that people are
color of color are the ones committing the most crimes.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Not necessarily.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Not necessarily, they say, the interesting organization, I mean they back.
My favorite ACLU story is if you remember the Neo
Nazis marching in Skogee, Illinois.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
And this is the community of which they have a
huge number of Holocaust rorivors. And this was maybe twenty
five years ago and they asked for a permit to
march down in Skogie. We're talking about the Neo Nazis,
and they were denied the permit. ACLU went to court
and argue they should get the permit. It's first Amendment issue.
These are for Nazis. So that's what the ACL you
(22:13):
do does?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I hate him.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
A warning from Russia, President Putin says allowing Ukraine to
use long long range missiles to strike inside Russia would
be seen by Moscow as NATO's direct entry into the war.
He said, this will mean that NATO countries, the US
and European countries are at war with Russia, and we
will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that
(22:40):
will be posed to US.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Okay, this is about the fourth time out he has
said that right if Western arms are used against this,
that is the West declaring war.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
If Ukrainian troops come into our country using Western weapons,
that is a declaration of war. Okay, fine, If medium
range missiles are used against US that were provided by
the West, or the extension of the range of missiles
which happened, that was a declaration of war. Now is
(23:16):
if it allows to use long range missiles by supply
by NATO, that's a declaration of war. And by the way,
if Russia thinks that NATO has declared war against Russia,
what does it do? Does it fight NATO? Does it
go to the border of Poland and invade Poland?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
What does it do? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Well, how do you think Russia would do in a
fight against NATO Western Group of nations? Very highly trained forces,
they do war exercises every year, some of the best,
actually the best military.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
That exists on the planet. And they're going to go
to war. And Russia is going to go to war
with NATO. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
The only thing the only thing Russia can do realistically
is drop a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That's it. Use nuclear weapons. That'll do it. That's the
war and is putin that crazy Kim Jong un? Isn't
that crazy? We think?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Okay, fingers crossed. New York Police Department Commissioner Edward Kaban
has resigned, he said just yesterday in a statement marking
the first high profile departure from Mayor Eric adams administration.
So if you remember, there was four separate federal investigations
going on in his office there at the with the
(24:44):
NYP eed rather and so this departure comes, I don't know,
just a couple of days after it was first reported
investigators with the US Attorney's Office for New York the
Southern Different District had seized a bunch of electronics, phones
and devices in.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
The like, Yeah, this is this is interesting because there's
two kinds of corruption when you're dealing under these circumstances.
One straight out corruption, help me, I'll give you a
pile of money.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Here's a bribe.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
The other one involves family members, and that is there's
just some hinky stuff going on. This is his brother
who was involved in nightclubs and the enforcement or lack
of I mean, if anybody is smart, if I were
in office, I would do one of two things. Not
let a family member have anything to do with the city,
(25:38):
or say, my brother is bidding on this and I'm
recusing myself and make it as public as you possibly can.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's the only way around. So you're gonna find out.
I'm convinced there's all kinds of wrongdoing. And he quit.
He just said I'm going to be.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
A distraction if he were innocent, If I were innocent,
I'd fight this all the way down the line, unless
Eric Adams forces me to resign and fires me, which
didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Okay, ready to jump back in the game.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
Buy a house hold on Mortgage rates this week have
fallen to their lowest point since February of twenty twenty three.
The thirty year fixed rate averaged six point two percent,
down from a twenty year high of seven point seventy
nine percent in October of last year.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, that's a healthy jump until you realize we used
to have three percent money, and this still seems astronomically high.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
We're not going back to that three percent, no, never.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
I think I bought my last house at five and
a half percent in thought, Wow, that's a good rate.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, that's about right. Five and a half percent is
a decent regular rate.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
But you know, you get twenty years of three percent
money and all of a sudden, you that's what you're
used to. And the unfortunate part is that that's aberrational.
That is. Yeah, you know what you would pay, by
the way, during the Civil War or right after the
Civil War, when you would mortgage a peace property, you
(27:05):
know how much interest you'd pay?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
About five and a half percent.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Really, yeah, yeah, it's about right.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, that seems it's about right.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So the three percent is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And the nine percent, I don't know if you were
around during Jimmy Carter years that hit seventeen.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Percent mortgage rates.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
I mean that was insanity, but that was inflation that
was truly beyond control.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I think my parents bought a house when it was
that high.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Just crazy, and then they had to do quote some
kind of creative financing. I don't even know what.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
That was, but it was just completely insane.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
You got good prices, though, if you could buy a
place for cash, you got a great deal.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
All right, we kind of expected this. An Israeli intelligence commander,
a lot of critics were coming after or him, saying
that he played a pivotal role in failing to prevent
the October seventh attacks. He is residing and he says
I did not fulfill the task. I was as I
(28:15):
expected of myself, those at my command and commanders expected me,
and the citizens of the state that I love so much.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
So what you're not finding in Israel is anybody pointing
the fingers and saying it's not my fault, it's that
person's fault over there. It wasn't me, it was my underlings,
it was everybody is coming to the.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Table said yep, I failed.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I failed, including Natanyahu by the way, he said we failed,
and he won't resign.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
There's no chance.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Okay, this pilot gets some kudos because he stopped what
could have been a really really now crash. There was
pilots on an Alaska air flight Airlines flight in Nashville.
We're taking off and a Southwest flight crossed the runway,
so they quick thinking slammed on the brakes and averted
(29:15):
a crash. And everybody's okay, But wow, how scary it's now.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
How many close calls have we had in recent months.
I mean, every day there's another close call and just
just waiting for one of those catastrophes that happened. Not
so much mid air collisions, but stuff on the runway
is just completely crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Do you think it's because of more flights or the
or is there something I think there?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Well, first of all, there are fewer flights than there
were because airlines have in fact consolidated their flights into
fewer airplanes and fuller airplanes. I you know what, it's
just I think there's the air traffic controllers are working
too hard.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
There's not enough of them.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You know. The worst air does master in history were
two airplanes on the runway crashing into each other, two
fully loaded seven forty sevens.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
That was in tenor Reef off of Spain.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
They crashed at full tilt to seven forty sevens.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 4 (30:18):
So they were all off at the same time.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I either they were taking off, they could have been,
but they ran into each other almost head on.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, or at least one was at speed.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Going to another runway. I don't remember the exact circumstances,
but there were. Do you remember that, Amy, I don't
remember that one.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Oh yeah, that's because you're not one hundred and fifty
years old.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Okay, what speed are they going before takeoff? Before you?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
One hundred and eighty two hundred miles an hour?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
All right? Southern California teachers under investigation. The allegations here
are that he fathered a child with one of his
students back in the eighties, and there is the possibility
that he had a sexual relationship with another student around
the same time. This was an Anaheim and they are
looking into this. The authorities are looking into this to
(31:10):
see if there is anything that can be I don't
think I prosecuted.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
There has to be a statute issue here because this
is forty years ago. Now, might there be a lawsuit
with the student against the teacher.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I think that is. I think that statute has rolled up.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
First, there was a period of time where the statute
was open and you could sue for any allegation like
this at any time. That's we're talking of civilly. But
I think that rolled up. There was a time limit
on that one too.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Steve Graves is the name of the teacher who has
been identified sixty one and was still working in Anaheim
Union High School District.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, so he was in his early twenty He was
in his early twenties.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I guess he would have had to been if he's one.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Now and the kids are now in forty in their forties. Yeah,
