Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to k I AM six forty the Bill
Handles Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Ladies and gentlemen, here's Wayne Resnick. I AM six forty
five everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good Morning, everybody. It's
the Bill Handles Show. He is back from vacation on Monday.
I'll be here until nine o'clock. The morning crew is here.
We start with running the board in for Kono. It's Robin.

(00:46):
Good morning. I don't believe I have ever even seen
you before.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
I don't think so either.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well, nice to see you. Thank you for your help
earlier with that thing. Just don't say what it was.
There was a thing, and she helped me with it.
It's all anybody needs to know. Hey, Anne is so
heartbroken that I won't be hosting next week that she

(01:14):
couldn't even bear to come in today. Is that what
it is? Yes? And therefore we have the executive producer
of KFI, the former producer of this morning show for
eighty seven years producing the Bill Handle Show, Michelle Cube.
Good morning, Good morning. I am so terribly sorry about

(01:39):
your mets. I am so sorry you're not I'm not
no listen, I can be sorry without myself being upset
about it. I'm not saying I share your sorrow. I'm
saying I'm sorry you're experiencing sorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
All I have to say is that you have to
show up and play. And they're not showing up and
playing a better show up tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well they're gonna Look here's the problem. They showed up
every game. Yeah, so showing up is not.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Enough, But you got to show up and play.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yes, they might have been better off if they had
tried to play not showing up. Wayne.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I think what Michelle was talking about is the universal
sports language of you got to show up. You have
to give one hundred and ten percent. You have to
go for the w. You have to take it to
the paint. I think that's what.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yes, you have to be there. You have to be
there to win. Yeah, not just we're here to win.
It's not about being present. It's about being present in
the fullness of your sports news.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Look, the miracle Mets have shown up before when they
have been down.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, there is a possibility.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Listen, You've lived out here way longer than you lived
in New York. Doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Sake doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Let it go.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Let people be a fan of what they want.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
You know what, the fust thing about New York is,
you can live here twice. As long as you live
in New York, you're still a New Yorker. You go
and then a Californian goes to New York. They lived
there for six months and they're like, I'm a New Yorker.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
No you're not. It's just say it's I just hold on,
I need to say something to Robin. It's not me.
I'm not even connected to what you're having a problem with.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
What the hell's going on?

Speaker 5 (03:27):
There's an echo?

Speaker 3 (03:30):
What what.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Amy? It might be you?

Speaker 5 (03:34):
It's not me.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Oh I couldn't I think it? Yes, it was you, Robin. Everybody,
everybody right now, talk all at the same time. Robin,
let us know if there's still an echo. Everybody start
talking about something sucks with their customer service.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
And that's why no longer legally allowed in Florida.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
This is why I need Anne here, because Michelle doesn't
turn on my little iPad.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Said, Robin is the echo? Gun okay, Amy King the
culprit of the listen. We have all we have all
been the culprit amy. It doesn't it does not in
any way diminish anything, Amo King. Oh, we've all been
the culprit. You just happen to be the culprit now.
Let's oh Neil, good morning.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Good morning. I'd like to see it this way, Wayne.
When there's an echo for Amy, the woman is so nice,
we need to hear her twice.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
That's very good and technically good morning Amy King. Well,
good morning Wayne. Okay, the formalities have been dispensed with,
the technical gremlins have been solved. Michelle has been uh
forced to wrestle with the humanity of being a fan
of a terrible team. And I think we're ready to

(04:52):
start handle on the news with Amy King and Neil
and me, and here we go lead story. Well, Israel
has confirmed that they did in fact kill Hamas leader
ya Ya Sidwar. They didn't even know they had killed
him until later. Here's what happened. How far, Michelle, how

(05:17):
far back do I have to pull out? Let me
pull back all the way. Israel and Hamas have been
fighting each other forever and then October of last year,
Hamas launched a very vicious attack on Israel and killed
a lot of people and took a lot of hostages,
and then Israel launched a massive, massive offensive in Gaza,
which has been going on now for thirteen months. More recently,

(05:43):
there was a training unit out of Israeli soldiers, a
unit that trained soldiers to be like platoon leaders, and
they happened to see three armed men come out of
a building and they fired blam blam, blam, blam blam,
and one of those men ran into a building. So
they sent to dr into that building to look around.
And there's some guy sitting in a chair, and you

(06:06):
know what, he doesn't look like he's in very good
shape at this point. I would also like to point
out that the inside of this building is terrible. I'm
not talking about the decor. I mean it has already
clearly been hit with fire and bombs, and it's all
messing there. And he's sitting in a chair. He kind

(06:27):
of looks like he's already been wounded. And the drone
is looking at him. And this guy he has a
stick in his hand and he looks at the drone
and in an act of defiance that he did not
know would be his final act of defiance, he throws
the stick at the drone. Then blam blam blam. The

(06:48):
building collapses. The next day, Israeli sifting through the rubble.
Here's a body. Who is it?

Speaker 4 (06:56):
You know?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
It kind of looks like the leader of hamas Yah
Yah Sinwar. Hmmm, let's check it against all of the
information that we have on him, like his dental records
and his DNA. Holy smokes, ladies and gentlemen, it is
leader of hamas ya Ya Sinwar, totally dead, right there
in the rubble, right there in front of us. And

(07:19):
that's how it went down. Now at seven, I got
a couple of things for you. One, how did they
have his dental records and his DNA and all of
those things? Well, here comes a classic radio tiss. The
answer will surprise you also. And also what's next because

(07:41):
Israel has two choices now that they can make having
killed the head of Hamas We'll get into all of
the implications and that surprising reason they had all his stuff.
At seven o'clock, were you doing, casey case somebody of
the top forty to the top forty killings this wooding?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Uh wow, that's insane. And the imagery there, the power
of the imagery for a fight that's been going on
for thousands of years technically, uh in one form or
another of a stick against one of the highest technological
advances in war is profound.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
It says. It says a few things. It says, how out,
how how outgunned Hamas has always been, if you will,
it also raises the question, given that how the hell
have they been able to persist for so long?

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Well, terror is a very powerful tool. It's I find
it to be more powerful than weapons of traditional resources. Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Hey, let's get some news from Amy King and then
we will continue. And Michelle, you can excuse yourself from
the next story because I will be upsetting to you.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Let's get back into Handle on the news then, Amy King,
Neil Soy and me.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Well, the boys in Blue are just one win away.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Show.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Hey.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Otani hit a leadoff home run and scored four times
last night. Mookie Betts also drove in four runs, and
the Dodgers routed the New York Mets ten to two.
They take a three games to one lead in the
National League Championship Series. Dave Manager Dave manager Dave Roberts,
the manager said, I love the way our guys haven't

(09:39):
let off the gas. We don't want to give these
guys any momentum.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I agree that mean give them a little give them
a little momentum.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Ka Kay had momentum in game two.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Uh, they did have, but then they were shut out
and then they tend to too. And it's that's when
you get into those games that you see in like
middle school soccer league or something where some team is
up eleven to nothing and you start to feel bad
and you kind of go, just let them, let them
score one or two.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
Why don't you, No, they don't feel bad in the
in the major leagues.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Well, that's fantastic news for Los Angeles baseball fans, we
shall say.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
You know what wasn't fantastic is people who were watching
it on Hulu last night. They had outages. The stream
went them.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, they missed a great game and show. Hey, Otani
is really earning his massive, unprecedented contract. That was a
smart move by those Dodgers. Doesn't always work out. It's
working out big time. Hey, Michelle Cube, you want to
say anything about this story? No, if anybody doesn't know
for whatever reason, Yeah, she's a Mets fans sitting there.

(10:47):
I'll tell you what, man, The people involved in producing
this show have fared poorly this playoff season because Anne
is a huge Padres fan and that didn't work out
for her in the Division series. You're a fan of
the Mets, they're getting hammered. I'm starting to think having
a KFI morning show producer as a fan of your

(11:09):
team is some sort of curse.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah. Last night, Sho Heeo, Tani's old interpreter said, I
bet the show's so mad.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh man, Okay, I get it because he's in trouble
for the gambling and the stealing.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
Yeah, let's move the handle jokes, all right. The scheduled
execution of Texas death Row inmate Robert Robertson man so
nice they nearly named him twice. What a horrible story.
Murder of his two year old daughters. What he's accused of.
His death sentence was halted by the Texas Supreme Court
as they issued a partial stay late last night. So

(11:52):
this has to deal one his death warrant was set
to expire. But this has to deal with the fact
that apparently Robertson's conviction relied specifically on the shaken baby
syndrome diagnosis and his attorneys argue that that has been
discredited and that this potential dirt bag was protected by that.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well, I mean the way the way that you say
it makes me think you think that when they say
shaken baby syndrome has been discredited, that that's not true.
It has been discredited big time.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
No, I'm more simple than that. I'm man dead baby.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Oh I say, it doesn't matter how even if even
if the baby committed suicide, you're gonna still the manager.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
That's not the case.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
But yeah, speaking of fathers and children, Amy, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Keeping it all in the family. Father and his fourteen
year old son have both been indicted by a grand
jury on murder charges tied to the school shooting in
Georgia at Appalachi High School in Winder, Georgia or because
I don't know if it's Wind or Winder, but Cold Gray,
who's fourteen, was indicted on fifty five counts, actually more

(13:15):
than that, because there's a murder killing, the two students,
aggravated assault because there were several students were also injured.
And then dad got indicted too.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
This is there. There's really a PUSHNIW across the country
of prosecutors trying to hold these parents responsible when their
kids go off like this. You have to have something
more than just you're the parent. You know, the case
in Michigan that you remember there were the parents knew
that there were problems for quite some time and not
only didn't do anything, but if I recall correctly, we're

(13:47):
somewhat encouraging of their of their son having guns. And
then here it's the same thing that there were repeated
problems with this kid that were the parents could have
done more, and that's the theory under which they're prosecuted.
Did We'll see how it goes. I don't I feel
the way about this that you feel about when a
father and a baby and the baby dies. There's a

(14:10):
parent and there's a kid, and there's and the kid
does a mass shooting like this, I feel the same
way you feel, which is too bad, so sad for
the parent.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, it's one of those lies you can tell when
they're involved like that. These were very clear cases. It's
not just like get them all, take out the entire
family line and get the dog too. You know when
you're going I know things are rough on you. I
know you've drawn some pretty ugly things and said some
things on the internet. Here's a weapon, and it's like okay, yeah,

(14:39):
it's not like, well, you know, he was a latch
key kid. All righty oh, you're gonna go.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
I was gonna I was gonna transition to the next story,
and you already went to the next story. So you're
anticipating my every need like an attentive lover. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Watch this. You didn't know about this, did you? Alrighty uh?
You know, when you smile, they can be infectious. So
this is what they're finding in a study that it's
like a virus that people smile more when other people
smile at them. But logically, this creates what we refer
to as an infinite regression. Who was the first smile

(15:19):
that created the chain of smiles? Someone has to smile
without being smiled at for the smile to continue to
go viral. So we're looking for I guess the viral
monkey of smiles that started the smile.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Virus Patient zero. Yes, this is a really simple experiment.
They got some people and they said, hey, you're going
to talk to somebody. You're gonna have a conversation with somebody,
and the somebody's were part of the study and the
somebody's The listeners were told, like, you don't smile. You

(15:54):
when that guy's talking to you, smile a lot, you
smile medium amount. And then they looked at how often
the talker, who does not know that the other person's
been told how much to smile, how much did they smile?
And what they saw was if the other person didn't smile,
they didn't smile, and if the other person smiled a lot,
they smiled a lot. So how much we smile depends

(16:17):
on how much everybody around us is smiling. I have
one more question on this story. If you break the
smile chain, do you then experience terrible bad luck? Ooh
like a smile chain letter. M yes, let's hang a
light on that joke. Let's hang a big old kleag

(16:38):
light right on that joke and throw a spotlight on
it in fifty Fronel's as well. And I set all
of that just for the theater nerds out there. Then go,
he knows the different theater lights.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Oh my gosh, you talked about snoops and barn doors
and a gobo.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
It's the Bill Hand Show. And he's on vacation and
he's back Monday, and I'm Wayne Resnik and we're doing
Handle on the News. By the way, I did give
out the real call in numbers, but nobody's going to don't.
Nobody's going to answer them. They will ring and ring
and ring and ring, So don't bother.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Neil Savatre is here, Amy King is here. Robin is
in today on the board. Not Robin Bertalucci.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
That'd be fun. We should invite her to do that
one day.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Well, I like Robin Berdelucci very much, but I am
fairly certain that she does not know the first thing
about controlling all of that complicated equipment. But Robin, is
it made Barretto? Is that I always say your name
Berto Maid? Okay, sorry, I reversed the hyphenitz, but I was.
But at least I knew what they were, So that's

(17:45):
pretty good. It's better listen. It's better than you'll get
from Bill. And everybody knows I'm right anyway, you know
everything about how to control the stuff. Michelle Cube is
here producing the show in for Ann. Let's continue with
Handle on the News for all you loved ones out there.
A man has been charged by the Feds. These are

(18:06):
federal charges distributing drugs resulting in death because he did
deliver drugs to somebody and a woman died of an
od in Lancaster. But there's a wrinkle here. The drugs
were delivered by a drone, and so Christopher Patrick Laney,
whose nickname is Craney, also faces four counts of knowing

(18:31):
and wilfully operating an unregistered aircraft and further into a
felony narcotics crime that is a wildly specific statute, and
some other drug stuff, and also one of these possessing
a firearm in further into a drug trafficking crime, which
we used to just call those ninety four seas because

(18:52):
it's EIGHTENUSC ninety four seed and that right there, that
all by itself is a prison, mandatory prison consecutive to
what whatever else might happen to you. So this is
these are these are freedom ending charges for this guy.
Should he be convicted of everything, And I mean, I
don't know what else to say about it, except it's

(19:12):
not unusual anymore for drug traffickers to use drones to
deliver drugs. I have a question. He should have just
registered the drone and he wouldn't have those charges hanging
over his head. Yes, I will accept your question.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
What if did they see him flying the drone? I
mean could His defense attorney argued that nobody saw him
flying the drone, that it may have been owned by him,
but no one saw him flying it.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Well, the problem is that they seized the authority seized
the drone and can use the video that the drone
recorded ok as part of their evidence. So not to mention.
Then they went to his house and there was a
fentanyl and methmphetamine there and he had an AR fifteen

(19:57):
style rifle. Two handguns, oh, which they say were who's
gonna fill in the blank. The two handguns they found
were what guns? Blank guns? Yes, Neil ding Ding Yeah,
this is not this is I'm just gonna say, this
is not a good guy. You know why these allegations.

(20:19):
I feel he's not a good guy?

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Hey, Wayne, Hey Wayne? Hey Wayne? You know why I
said ghost guns?

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
It's almost Halloween.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Oh that Halloween might look a little different this year,
at least in one aspect. Isn't that right? Amy King?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
Move over, Hershey's in Milky Way and Snickers. According to experts,
you're gonna see more tart fruity sweets for trig or
treaters this Halloween. Halloween treats of the non chocolate confection
category are showing up. Part of it's because cocoa prices
are higher, so candymakers are putting out other stuff that's

(20:59):
less expensive. So we can expect to see Twizzlers, ghosts, rocks,
mellow cream out of leaves, sour patch kids, apple harvest, nerds,
candy corn, and Skittles shriekers. I agree, give me a
Reese's peanut buttercut butterfinger.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
We've gotten soft Wayne, thanks Obama. You know it's not
only though.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
There's another reason besides the higher prices of cocoa. It's
the kids, because apparently, like gen Z, they are more
into the sour and fruity candies.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
Well, they've been taught wrong.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
That's what it is.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Dumb generation.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Every generation thanks the youngins to have it wrong. And
here we go again. Let's get some news from Amy
King and then, speaking speaking of candy that is not chocolate,
when we come back, Neil's going to tell you about
what happened to some kids at the middle school in
Studio City.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
You're listening to Bill Handle on Demand from KFI AM
six four.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
We're going to finish up Handle on the news.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
You know, you can't get a toy gun these days
without having some sort of bright orange tip, but you
could make bad stuff and make it look like candy.
As many as seventeen students at a middle school in
Studio City, walter Reed Middle School to be exact, were
medically evaluated after possibly consuming a banned substance in the

(22:26):
shape of a gummy bear. So it's unclear, although I
think we all have a pretty good idea exactly what
the substance was that was consumed. It was not fentanyl,
thank god. But the fire officials reported a total of
seventeen patients too were transported to the hospital. The rest
were released to their parents where they ate tons and

(22:49):
tons of doritos.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
I am agine, listen, I guess the police and the
fire depart man and they have to be circumspect. But
somebody got a hold of mom or dad's pot gummies
and brought them to school, and then the kids ate them,
and then boy did they wish they hadn't eaten them.
That's what happened, and it happens a lot. Well, if
you're gonna sell a heavy duty intoxican that looks like candy,

(23:19):
this is what's gonna happen. And here's the thing. Do
we agree. Let's let's see if we can reach an
agreement here so everybody can say, uh, give me you
know the a's or the or the na's. Is that
how they do it in cous Does everybody agree that
cannabis should be for adults only? Yes? Yes, all right, yay?

(23:42):
Does everybody agree that an adult an adult person doesn't
need their their medicine or their fun, whatever it is.
They don't need it to look like candy to get
them to take it. Yeah boom, No need for pot gummies.
There don't need to be pot gummies. What what thirty
five year old investment banker is like, I really want

(24:05):
to get high this weekend, but uh, it's got to
be in the form of a gummy or I'm not
gonna do it.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
It reminds me of those Harribou gummy commercials, you know what,
the adults that chocolate kids.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Oh yeah whatever. I'm not trying to be a I'm
not puritanical about it at all. I think pot is great,
but I get in the shape of a pot leaf.
Then it doesn't need to be in gummy for listen,
you have the plant itself that you can what roll
in a joint, or you can use a bong, or
you can use a vaporizer. You have edibles in the

(24:44):
form of capsules that you can take if you don't
want to smoke or put any kind of vapor into
your lung. And speaking of vaping, you can vape cartridges
with cannabis oil in them. There are lutions that you
can rub on yourself and cannabis will see will seep
into your skin. There's many ways to ingest cannabis. We

(25:04):
don't need ways that look like food. Thank you. So
a super secretive spaceship is going to go above our
heads and do some interesting and crazy things. We are
talking about an X thirty seven b orbital test vehicle.

(25:27):
I just call him Henry. This is an experimental space
plane operated by guess which branch of the military operates
the space plane. Come on, that's easy, Space Force, Yes,
thank you, Amy. Now we don't really know what it's for.
It looks cool and it's gonna do a cool thing

(25:47):
when it goes on this test flight. It's gonna do
what they call aerobraking, and this is where you make
some passes around the planet and you use the drag
of Earth's atmosphere. The resis distance of Earth's atmosphere to
change your orbit, so you don't have to use in
much fuel to move around and steer yourself. Space force

(26:11):
Tokyo drift. Yeah, they're saying it might have something to
do with satellites. But we might maybe helping satellites or
maybe going up and disengaging certain satellites that we don't
want to be operating. It's just not clear why. That's
why it's secretive. By the way, if I set a
secretive space plane operated by space forces going up and

(26:35):
here's exactly what it does, then it wouldn't be secretive,
would it.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
It looks like they told a ten year old this
is one of our previous space shuttles. Redraw it make
it look spacier. Yes, I got two fins on the back,
still the same colors.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
It looks like a toy blown up to size. It
definitely does meow a good kiddie.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
A little team of animal scientists at Azabu University in
Japan has found that house cats can associate human words
with images without giving them a treat. Apparently so. In
their study, the group tested volunteer cats. How do they
know the cats volunteered, did they raise their path? They

(27:26):
looked at images on a computer screen to see if
they form association between the images and spoken words. And
then other research has shown that cats know when a
human is speaking their name, and they respond different when
they hear than when they.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Hear other words. How do they dogs?

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Well, dogs are smarter.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Ouch.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
Yes, I'm a cat person, but I mean as far
as like smarter, as as meaning like how they react
to people.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
My question was, how do you know when they ignore
you that they're ignoring the name versus the other words?
Because again, cats don't care what you call them. They're
gonna do what they want.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
They are they do. Mine does come when I call
her name one hundred times?

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Though, Michelle, what are what are cats? I will demons
that steal the breath of children while they sleep.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, all right, let's see if possibly we we can
instead of fighting about an animal, let's see if we
can agree on a different kind of animal.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Well, uh, so you're you know, stomping around in the
jungles of Madagascar, and you got your research team and
you go, hey, here's seven new species of frogs. What
are we ever gonna name them? And then one goes
and you think. One guy in the back goes, let's
name him Theremon And they go, no, that's stupid. What

(28:52):
show theme had a theremon in it? And they said,
how about that sci fi show star Trek. Yeah, let's
name them after people from that show. So you got
Kirk Picard, Cisco, I guess, Jane way Archer, Burnham Pike.
And now these seven frogs have sci fi names. And
the thereman continues to go underappreciate it.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
Oh, oh, we are going to finish with this story.
Love the story. Now I'm gonna be pedantic for a second. Okay,
just whatstand because there's some people who are very pedantic
about things I want to get out of the way
that I want to get something out of the way
for the pedance out there. I know that irony refers

(29:38):
to language, so speaking something or conveying something through language
that is the opposite of what you really mean, and
that therefore, technically circumstances or events are not ironic. Having
acknowledged that this is a great example of irony, as

(30:00):
we use it loosely in society. They built a brand
new fire station in Germany, in Stateleedorf, and it burned
down twenty million dollars in damage. And the reason this happened,

(30:20):
first of all, there were lithium ion batteries on one
of the vehicles and they were plugged in and they
and it blened down. But the reason it burned all
the way down because the fire station didn't have a
fire alarm system. And you want to know why it

(30:43):
didn't have one.

Speaker 5 (30:44):
Why didn't have one?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Because you might think, oh, they just built it, right,
it was new, and they didn't have they were it
was pending, they didn't put it in yet. No, here's
why it didn't have one, because the experts that built
the fire station didn't think a fire alarm system was necessary.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
Well, well, who would what are you gonna do? Is
it gonna go off? And then a fire team from
somewhere else come? You have the fire team right that
they're already there.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Oh man, all right, Well that's that's a thing that happened.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
The place you'd think you didn't need it.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
I don't know why you're on the side of these
dumb Germans. You know how garious it's. It's it's patently wrong,
no matter what that you don't have a fire alarm system,
you know, in any building, a firehouse, stop it, it's
an alarm, just a clock. All right, Let's get some
news from Amy King and then yes, the leader of

(31:49):
Hamas is very very dead. Right now, how did it happen?
And what would Israel's next best step?
