First, hello, and then I want to announce it's a
couple of things coming.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Up, especially for Thanksgiving. First of all, Amy, let's start
with you.

Speaker 8 (02:06):
Good morning, Hi Bill, how are you?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm yeah, okay fine? And good morning? How are you?

home you go all right?

Speaker 6 (02:35):
I just sent because Neil, of course does Thanksgiving he
feels in for me Thanksgiving, well, it does him fill
in for me. He does Thanksgiving morning and helps people
with their cooking tips, etcetera. I just sent him a
New York Times recipe for turkey, which sounded unbelievable, and
so I told him, printed up, look at it.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
If he likes it, co opt it, say.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
It is yours, or I'll say it's yours so you
can take the credit for it.

Speaker 8 (03:02):
Well, so far it's the way I do it. Oh really,
I like to dry.

Speaker 6 (03:07):
Brian, now, did you and look at the way they
do it with whatever pepper? But the difference was and
I know you dry, Brian, but the difference is three
days even versus two days. Three days seems to be
the magic number for some reason.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Don't know why.

Speaker 8 (03:24):
Okay, enough of that, Yeah, because it's chemistry. Okay, chemistry.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I know you're very good at that. You're a very
good chemistry. All right.

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Before we get going on, Michelle sent me an email
about pastathon and it was Bill, read it like this,
because you tend to screw it up. Yesterday I screwed
it up quite a bit. So I am now looking
at what she said.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Okay, so here we go. Two per show. We have
to do fair enough.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
I'll probably end up doing three. Fourteenth annual postathon is here.
Chef Bruno's charity, Katerinas Club, which we got involved with
fourteen years ago, twenty five thousand meals every week to
kids in need. I mean he serves up twenty five
thousand meals a week. When we started, it was two
hundred meals a night, and now it's a twenty five

(04:15):
thousand per week.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
So here's you do.

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Any Smart and Final store walk in, donate any amount
at checkout. As a matter of fact, Saturday, Neil and
I'm going to join him for part of the show
two to five. He's going to be at the Smart
and Final in Lake Forest on El Toro Road in
South Orange County, and you cut by and you donate
any amount at checkout.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
We'd love to have you donate some money.

The other way, you can go to any Wendy's and
go in. And Tim Conway Junior is going to be
broadcasting on Friday his show four to seven, and he'll
be at the brand new Wendy's and Mission Viejo on
Alisiha Parkway. Donate five dollars or more at the Wendy's

That's a Wendy's joke.

Speaker 8 (05:27):
By the way, I just ed garragis who from Wendy's
is going to text me any minute now and tell

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Okay, fair enough.

Speaker 6 (05:39):

out there broadcasting all day. Well we're not broadcast. Every
show is going to be out there. Amy starts at
five am. Make sure you show up. She's going to
have maybe one person show up, and then we're broadcasting
six to nine, maybe three people show up, and then

(05:59):

coffee and it's gonna be good.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Okay, So that's that's all day.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
And then please go to Pastathon, the website where we're
donating kfi AM six forty dot com slash Pastathon. Okay,
there's the plug that was a long plug. I probably
am going to do that only twice. All right, guys,
you're ready to do it. It's Thursday, November twenty once
and it's time for Handle on the News with Amy

(06:44):
with Neil with me lead story.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Okay, what a shocker.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
This one is the House Judiciar Committee, which held that
hearings Investigative Hearings over represented Matt Gates over his Shenanigans,
has decided not to release the findings to the Senate.
Mike Johnson said, oh no, we're not going to release

(07:10):
it because Republicans on the House side are making damn
sure that Gates gets through and anything that could harm
him they're going to stop.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Now. He resigned, I mean quickly from office.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
Which is rather unusual because you don't have to resign
from Congress until you are confirmed a cabinet position. But
he resigned immediately, and Mike Johnson. The speaker said, okay,
then we don't release anything. Investigation stops because he's no.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Longer a member of the House.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
Now usually, okay, now I'm going to go on the
other side. Usually the House does not release reports if
someone is no longer remembered. There are exceptions, and you
can argue depending on what your side you're on. This
is to confirm an Attorney General of the United States.
Do you think the Senate should have all the information?

(08:02):
And Republicans are saying no. President Elect Trump has doubled
down on Gates and he said something interesting yesterday. If
you vote against Gates, you bought yourself a primary as
a senator.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
It's that simple.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
You don't vote on my side, I'm going to what
I'm going to do is try to primary you out
and we'll get someone there that does vote for what
I want. I was talking to some friend of mine
actually who is completely pro Trump, and I said, does
that scare you at all? That you have someone says
I don't care what the Senate does or doesn't do.

(08:40):
It's what I want, and if they don't, I'm going
to make sure that those senators are no longer senators.
Doesn't that scare you. Nope, Nope, doesn't scare me at all.
You're okay with a president who controls the executive branch
as well as the legis legislative brands.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yep, I'm fine with that. Okay.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
So anyway, I realized last night, Uh it's going I mean,
you know where I sit, and I'm I'm I and
I'm going to give Trump credit where credit is due
in my opinion, So you're going to hear that.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
But it is now my job for the next four years.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
To point out stuff like this, truly, you know, it
is my job to say we have a constitution and
uh so anyway, okay, so we might. I don't know,
people are upset, you know they're upset with me anyway?

Speaker 8 (09:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Are we still getting emails and calling me an ass
and saying or just you know, just people know where.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
I am and they're probably ignore them. Okay, we don't
care what they think.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Okay, too much to go through, Yeah it is, So
please send me emails everybody, because here's the good news.
The ones that you say you like my show, we
throw away immediately anyway.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
And the ones where you attack me, which I usually
paid attention to. I no longer do so.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
The only difference is knowing you for all these years,
is you've never been more hyperbolic about anyone than Trump.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I don't know how hyperbolic I am. That's the problem.
What did I just say? What did I just say?
I quoted him?

Speaker 8 (10:19):
He was in office. What happened? What happened? That gives
you all this?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
Two things? Okay? What two things?

Speaker 6 (10:27):
Number One, he didn't do what he wanted to do
because he didn't know what he was doing. Because he
put people in positions, cabinet positions that wouldn't do what
he wanted to do. That she joint chiefs of staffs
refused to do what he wanted to do. Sessions, Jeff Sessions,
the Attorney General, refused to and he resigned. Bill Barr,
the next Attorney General.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Refused to do what he asked to do.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
So this time around, as he and his transition team
have said, we are not going to make the same
mist We are only going to put in loyalists ahead.

Speaker 8 (11:03):
He was going to build the wall.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Well he's what he built part of it, and you watch.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
I think, okay says what other politicians.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
No, I don't buy that. I don't buy that. Okay,
we'll see.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
You know, we got four years, Neil, You and I
have four years to scream at each other.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
Okay, I don't know that you're going to make it
four years.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Bub All right, let's take a break and we're done
with that.

Speaker 6 (11:24):
I'm going to get off my high horse or my
soapbox or the soap box it takes to put on.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, no, not really. You know, it's not like I've
been wrong before.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
I'm his. I'm just I refuse to make videos of
myself crying.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Okay, well I cry.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Democrats are shoring up the judiciary before the Republicans take
over in January. Senate Democrats have confirmed some of President
Biden's picks for the federal bench this week in the
face of President Elect Trump's calls for a total Republican
blockade of judicial nominations. But it didn't work because some
of the books didn't show up for the votes, including

(12:03):
Jdvan Veritz.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
So here is a geography lesson to any senator.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
If you are not there at the Senate when these
votes come in, and you are at Mara Lago, for example,
you can't vote.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Black Friday is coming.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
And for the adults in your life.

Speaker 9 (12:20):

Speaker 3 (13:18):
So pick pick your poison.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
You're at mar A Lago to shore up your president,
or you are voting against a perspective federal.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Judge were not that's all of them there, and that's
what happened.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
You know what the advance was there. I think a
few others were there, just like you know what ended
up happening.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Uh.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
This was when the you know, the UN, for example,
in the Korean War, and there was a UN resolution
a police action what they call it, not a war
to fight North Korea, and the Russians, who have complete
and total veto power because you have the five Great powers,
can veto anything. They will, walked out of the UN

(14:01):
in protest, and the vote went through to fight the
Korean War because remember their allies were North Koreans. Well,
they're never going to make that mistake again. Now they
veto everything, or the United States veto's everything, and it
believes in so nothing gets done with the UN at all.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
And the same thing here is you.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Want to block appointments, which of course you can do
if it's the other side of the aisle. You gotta
be there. You can't quote walk out and go to
mar A Lago. So hey, you take your choice. Who's
better at mar Alago? I might add, by the way,
I'm sure I'm just guessing, Big Max.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
No, I'm sure it's better than that.

Speaker 8 (14:42):
All right, twenty six year old migrant if he came.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Here, illegal alien migrant.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
From Venezuela was convicted just yesterday of murdering Lincoln Riley.
Of course, she's the Georgia nursing student who was killed.
And this particular individual repeatedly cited by President elect Donald
Trump and is pushed for mass deportations of millions of

(15:12):
undocumented people. This guy has kind of been the poster boy,
right and by the.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
Way, that's the first time. It's this is not the
first time something like this has happened. And this helped
propel Trump because it's the argument about illegal aliens, look
what they can do. The same thing happened with Ducaccas
when he ran with Willie Horton, who was let out
of jail when Dutakas was governor, and he went on
to kill someone, and that became look at this, look

(15:39):
at you know, this guy is a light on crime.
He lets these killers out of jail, He let him
out on parole, so that ends up happening.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
I mean, it's a horrible, horrible crime.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
I mean, of course, the argument Bill b if there
are bad ones that shouldn't be here, there are some
there are good ones.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
That should except that if you no, no, because all
illegal immigrants don't help us. Okay, as far as the
anti immigrant people, and there's a whole world of that. Financially,
what happens to the economy people under the table, entire
factory is going to be shut down because they hire
nothing but illegals. I mean, there's a lot to that argument.

(16:20):
But and this was the Republican this was Trump's position.
If no illegal immigrants are brought in, this would never happen.

Speaker 8 (16:28):
No, they would be killed by an American, Americans killed
by Americans.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Forum.

Speaker 6 (16:34):
That's okay, Well that's the next story, and that one
you can't use for immigration, and this one you extrapolate.
No one should be a mother and amy do this story.

Speaker 7 (16:44):
Well we know is thirty years was not enough. Susan Smith,
who is the mom in South Carolina who had her
young children strapped in the back state of her car
and rolled it into the water and killed them thirty
years ago.

Speaker 8 (16:58):
That was an eighteen ninety four.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
I remember that.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
I remember that doing that story and it was just heartbreaking,
and you just stunned home mother could do that.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
So she's up thirty years.

Speaker 7 (17:08):
And the pear board said, uh, uh no, three years
enough for you.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
Right, She says, I know what I did was horrible
in front of the parole board.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Quote. Now, I am a Christian and God is a
big part of my life.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
I know He has forgiven me, and I know by
his grace and murray mercy. I just asked you show
that same kind of mercy as well, the hutzpah saying
God has forgiven me. I know that, therefore you should
forgive me too.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Well, maybe she'll find out after she leaves, is there
whether he did or not. But that doesn't mean we
have to.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
Uh that is correct. Let her decide.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
You can find go ahead and find God all you want,
but you're gonna be in prison while you're doing that.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
What kind of mercy did she show her children?

Speaker 8 (17:52):
Yeah? They should put her in a special prison that's underwater.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, they should water boarder every day. Yeah. How do
you feel about this one? Huh? And just whisper the
kid's names every day.

Speaker 8 (18:03):
It's some confusion as to recognizing what kind of bomb
is that. Ukraine's military says, Russian ICBM striked Ukraine's southeast,
but we here on the west. At least some have said, no,
that was just a ballistic missile that struck.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
Right.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
The difference between an ICBM.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
ICBM goes up into the atmosphere, it goes into space
and then comes right down again, and it's impossible to defend.
A ballistic missile gets shot off and under its own power,
it goes ahead and it's guided in all of that.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
So the ICBM is the big one.

Speaker 7 (18:40):
They said that they shot down six of eight missiles
that were fired.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
Yeah, but there, you know, I don't even if you
can shoot down an ICBM.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Maybe it can.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
I mean, so maybe it wasn't an ICBM.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
That's what that's the argument is that it was it was,
it was it not? That's you know, we don't know
at this point, and everybody is saying something different.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
Well, Israel is sticking to its guns quite literally. The
United States has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that
called for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire in Gaza
on the grounds that it would not have secured the
release of hostages.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, there's two things. The US.

Speaker 6 (19:21):
Well, I just told you about how the big five
powers I have absolute veto power. They can just you
can have virtually entire Security Council vote and then one
either China or Russia or Great Britain or France just
straight out vetos it.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Nope, We're not going to do it. In the US.
Veto's more than anybody. And here's why.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
Because the UN resolution says immediate ceasefire, does not say
Hamas started this thing, and there was terrorism that only
calls Israel the bad guys, and the hostage release is
not part of it. They just want to cease fire.
So the US said, no, not doing it. So this
happens all the time. And so at first glance, why why.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Would the US vote against a cease fire resolution? Because
of that?

Speaker 8 (20:07):
All right? The US regulators want a federal judge to
break up Google. They say that they want to prevent
the company from continuing to squash competition. It's a dominant
force because of its search engine. Of course, that's chrome,
and the court found that it had maintained an abusive
monopoly over the past decade. Yeah, and they want them

(20:29):
to stop.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Now.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
The Justice Department is going crazy against it.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
And by the way, it is and I'm going to
do this story at seven twenty and dive into it
a little bit deeper.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Boys only in the boys' bathroom, girls only in the
girls bathroom, so says HOWSE Speaker Mike Johnson. On Wednesday,
he announced a policy banning trendsgender people from using restrooms
in parts of the Capitol that correspond with their gender.
And this is all because Representative elect Sarah McBride from Delaware.

(21:02):
She's the first openly transgender person elected to Congress, and
people are freaking out that she might be using the
women's restroom. So Johnson said things like restrooms, changing rooms,
locker rooms are reserved for individuals of that biological sex.
And then he did go on to say, though, it's
important to note that each member office has its own

(21:24):
private restroom and there are unisex restrooms available around the capital.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
So it's not an issue of whether she is going
to be able to go to the bathroom. It's not
like she could have to run down the hall to
the other bathroom. It's a political statement. It's that simple,
and it was issued on transgender date of remembrance.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
I mean, you talk about politics.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
By the way, do we know whether she has had
her junk removed?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Is she junkless?

Speaker 7 (21:48):
We do not, Although she has said, she disagrees with
Johnson's kind of ruling, but she'll follow it. And she said,
I'm not here to get in a fight out bathrooms.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Yeah, that makes sense if you're a a neophyte, brand
new congress person, so you have to sort of play
the rules. But I'd like to know if she has
had her junk removed and has become a biological woman.
How do you, for example, piet a urinal when you
don't have the equipment to pi at a urinal. Now

(22:21):
I understand their stalls, et cetera, but it's I think
it's important to find out whether she still has a
Johnson or not.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Oh no, my I'm sorry, Mike Johnson has a Johnson.

Speaker 8 (22:31):
Yeah. They call this the Johnson No Johnson Act. Yes,
why don't they just have Why don't instead of male female,
why don't they just have D and rs on there?
So Democrats can all pee in one place and the
Republicans can all pe in the other gene.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
But they want to pee on each other because they
hate each other. So they've got to figure out another
way of doing the bathrooms. All right, let's do one
more and we'll take a break. All right, The tech entrepreneurs.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
Wait is this me? Are you gotcha? Tech entrepreneurs Elon
Musk and Vivek Ramaswami said Wednesday that their brand new
government agency, of course, DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency, Their
new panel is they're identifying thousands of regulations for President

(23:17):
elect Trump to eliminate that they argue will justify mass
headcount reduction.

Speaker 6 (23:25):
And the argument is that because these are many of
these jobs are protected by civil service, and they're doing
end arounds saying that the statutes alle at the federal
statutes because a lot of civil service people are gone
to wait a minute, you can't do that to the president.
And what Musk and Ramaswami are saying, the statute allows

(23:48):
for reductions in force that don't target specific employees. So
that's what they're going to do. By the way, I
don't disagree with that. There is a lot of not fraud,
but there's a lot of waste in several fat.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, there is a lot of fat.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
Now is there two trillion dollars out of a six
trillion dollar budget?

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (24:08):
That may be a little difficult, but there's certainly tens
of billions of dollars.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
So we'll see how far these guys.

Speaker 6 (24:13):
Go, and we'll see if it's only if there, if
it's a political move, we'll see, or it's uniform.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Across the board, we have to see that too.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
But uh, you know, I mean there's simplidity to what
they're saying. I'm not arguing one percent. No no, no, no, no,
which I'm very good at doing because I tend to be,
uh one sided unless I'm two sided. Uh, then then
I look at both sides of the same coin, even
when that's three less three sided.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah, let's the three sided.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
And then and then we take a break because I
don't even know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 8 (24:46):
Now, well, you're gonna get a charge out of this one.

Speaker 7 (24:48):
California is first wireless charging roadway is coming to UCLA.
It's being built with a nearly twenty million dollar grant
and so basically what they're going to do is they're
going to install inductive charging coils underneath the roadway along
transit routes on CHARLESY. Young Drive on the UCLA campus

(25:10):
between Westwood Plaza and Murphy Hall. It's about three quarters
of a mile long. The installation will allow electric passenger
shuttles and heavy duty buses to charge wirelessly while the
vehicle drives down the road.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Can you imagine? This is this is the future. You
don't need any charging stations.

Speaker 6 (25:30):
You just charge while you drive your electric vehicles, because
that all that would change everything. Yeah, Now, the problem
is twenty million dollars to build what did you say?

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Eight yards?

Speaker 7 (25:42):
It's three quarters of a mile. And I'm like, how
much of a charge can you get? Oh?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
I think you can get about thirty seconds. Oh yeah, no,
I understand that. But I mean it's full charging.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
Right, it's just a pilot program, and it's what's going
to happen, you know, one hundred years from now or
fifty years from now. It's well, rest of all, all
these charging roads are gonna be underwater. That's for starters,
and nothing's gonna work. But besides that, the technology is exploding.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's wonderful to see.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Oh, here's an advertisement for a duct tape.

Speaker 8 (26:14):
Yeah, you gotta love. Is there anything duct tape can't do? All? Right?
A group of passengers sprung into action just tuesday to
stop a man who allegedly tried to open the cabin
door mid flight during a trip to Dallas. This and
I love that they put this in here. This was

(26:35):
an American Airlines flight, but the guy was a Canadian national. Bastards.
I knew they're not as nice as they come off.
So he allegedly approached the flight attendant and said, you know,
open the door, open the door, and then grew more
agitated as they say, no, you can't open the door.
We're in a plane, you jackass, And he was denied,

(26:58):
and he started to rush towards the door, striking the
flight attendant who was blocking it, and then the passengers
went and grabbed him. They got some duct tape from
because that's all they carry. I guess on those planes
they don't even have they have.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
I think they have zip ties. I just think they
I think they do. I think they obviously in this
time feet and hands. You ever been on a flight
with a screaming toddler or a kid and you go
take them outside for God's sake and they.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
Won't do it.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
Yeah, there's a pressure.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
You can't open those doors now.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
I don't think you can open those doors anyway, because
I think they have to be the pilot has to.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Can you open the door mid flight?

Speaker 6 (27:44):
Don't they have to be armed or whatever they they
They say, I don't know. Can you open the door
mid flight at thirty five thousand feet?

Speaker 8 (27:54):
I don't think he can.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
No, I don't think so either. They need to.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Start putting prisons planes.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
Need a little jail, yeah, oh, a little jail cell
instead of that third bathroom.

Speaker 8 (28:05):
Yeah, and then they could lock your hands and your
head in there like knots Berry Farm or something. A
photo while.

Speaker 7 (28:10):
Yeah, a dog bite apparently is worth a million dollars.
A woman you're gonna love this, whose shoplifted thousands of
dollars worth of cosmetics from an alta in northern California,
has been awarded a nearly one million dollars settlement from
a city in northern California. So here's what happened. The woman, apparently,

(28:31):
according to Brentwood Police Brentwood in Northern California, not our Brentwood,
was out on probation. She and two other women went
into an alta, stole about ten thousand dollars worth of
merchandise and took off. Officers tried to stop her or
stop them, but they drove off and then the driver
ended up crashing into their patrol car. The three women

(28:53):
inside the car tried to run off, and they followed
one of them and they released a canine to go
get her. Right well, she says that the canine bid
her skull and took off like part of her scalp,
and so she sued and she gets a million dollars.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
Yeah, there's more to the story here, because An and
I got into it this morning. Here is what the
allegation is is that she's hiding behind a bush and
the cop did not tell her to get out, did
not say surrender, just sicked the dog on her.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
That is the allegation.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
And the city is not willing to go to trial
because they'd rather pay a million dollars because the cost
of litigation may be.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Far more than a million dollars, which happens all the time.

Speaker 8 (29:38):
By the way, did she have peanut butter in her hair?

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Okay, there you go.

Speaker 8 (29:43):
I just I want the facts.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Yeah, and I don't. I don't know. All we know
is allegations. If it's true. I mean, when.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
If you show up, if a cop shows up with
a dog and someone's hiding and you just go here,
dog go eat that person, as opposed to saying please surrender,
not please, but surrender.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Put your hands up, get behind the bush or get
out of the bush. You know, so, I don't know,
you know what's crazy.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
I've had on three occasions at my home heard the
helicopters at night overhead with bullhorns or their you know
pa system. Tell you please, if you are outside, go
in your homes. We are releasing canines to find a suspect. Really, yeah,

(30:28):
it's the craziest thing. About three times in the decade
and a half or whatever i've been here. That nuts. Okay, giraffes,
they may be going the way of the Dodo bird.
That's hope off. They're beautiful. Giraffe populations are declining at
an alarming rate. Habitat loss, poaching, urbanization, of course, climate change,

(30:50):
fuel drought, and one kissed handle once, and I think
that has something to do with it.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
I've been kissed before by giraffes.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
I know. I've seen the pictures.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
I know in tongue, I do. They've really long time sucks.

Speaker 8 (31:02):
I was surprised how much you could take too.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Yes, I know, yeah, they can get pretty sexy, those drafts.

Speaker 8 (31:08):
Okay, that doesn't that suck. They're such beautiful, ruler.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
They're gorgeous they're absolutely gorgeous. All right, We're done, guys.
