Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Ladies and gentlemen. Here's Wayne Resnick.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Good Morning, Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Still on holiday vacation, Wayne Resnik here until nine and
this is when we do Handle on the news for you.
Here's who's here today producing the show. Michelle Cube in
for Ann who's taking a holiday vacation. Good morning, Good morning,
(00:53):
Kono is here, Good morning You're You're the only regular
member of the morning crew who cares enough about the
listener work I do.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I care so much about the listener to work.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
In for Amy King, who will be here next week
and therefore should be exempt from my criticism because she
is working on a holiday week next week.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
In for Amy King is Michael Monks. Good morning, Good Morning,
Buenos Dias. Quick correction. She will not be here on
New Year's Day or the day after, so don't give
her too much credit.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Now what, Yeah, I'll be back with you.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I mean that's great, But now really conflicted because I
trashed her. I collectively trashed a group of people and
she was one of them. And then I made a
point of singling her out to be rehabilitated, And now
I find out I have been made a fool.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
She's undeserving. Well, you know, she kind of is.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
But I didn't think i'd ever have such conflicted feelings
about a human being before as I do about Amy King.
Right now now I have a question why bother? But
why didn't she just.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Take the two weeks off like the other three Lasos? Oh,
I'm grateful she didn't die. Love, What are you trying
to prove? What?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
What is she? But who is she trying to fool?
And what is she trying to prove?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
She might be stockpiling vacation days for like a nice
long Caribbean trip later on.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, she works very hard. She does deserve her
time off.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yes, obviously, I'm kidding around and having fun. I don't
actually think ill of Amy King. Okay, but but she
is much more with the group of Lasos than she
is with us.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A hard working holiday folk, and Kno, you really stand
out now.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is the shining star.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Of the morning crew, the one that people should aspire
to be. And I hope that you're getting I hope
every day you're getting the love and the appreciation that
you deserve from the regular morning crew. I just hope
that every single day Bill Handle is on the air
making a point of expressing his gratitude and admiration for
(03:16):
how much you help make the show happen.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, because that's what Bill's about, gratitude and appreciation.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
All right, everybody, let's do some handle on the news
right now with this lead story right.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Know, there was the story about American Airlines calling a
ground stop for an hour for technical problems, which did
cause some delays and hassle for some holiday travelers. But
now it's Mother Nature getting in on the act of
bumming you out. There's a big storm system and it's
a big one and it's a dangerous one. Two states
(03:58):
at least Texas and louise Or under tornado warnings. There
are over four million people under a level three storm threat.
That's three out of five, and it's centering around Houston
right now and also the eastern part of Texas and
into Louisiana. And it'll keep, you know, moving up. But
(04:21):
in any event, ground stops at Dallas Fort Worth International
Dallas love Field.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The Governor of Texas.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Greg Abbott has requested emergency response. And I think you
said earlier, Michael Monks, in your newscast you were talking
about the local weather and you said it's just gonna
get worse. Yeah, the cloudiness or whatever. Well, it's the
same thing for these people that right now they're in
the situation where it's going to get worse before it
(04:51):
gets better. So this is a major storm and lots
and lots of flights are being canceled.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yesterday more than seven hundred flights were canceled.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You know, there were about seven hundred and seven fifty
flights canceled, and several hundred of those were just Dallas
Fort Worth. That's a weird airport for weatherwise, because it's
in an area and I don't understand it. I'm not
trying to be a meteorologist or anything. I just know
for a fact because it was explained to me one
(05:23):
time when I had a flight out of there and
there was this weird They get these weird, localized intense
storm actions sometimes around Dallas Fort Worth International Airport that
aren't necessarily affecting a broader area, and they have to
cancel a bunch of flights and then you have to
get on a bus with a bunch of strangers and
(05:44):
go to a hotel where you're getting where you're not
getting it for free, but you're getting it at some
allegedly special airline negotiated rate. So they're kind of used
to this, but this is affecting a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
If you have any I was just gonna say, have
a one hour grounding of the of the flights earlier
this week caused as many problems as it did.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
What can we expect from something like this?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Sheer hell, bedlam, violence, probably much weeping, lamentations and rending
of garments, and no recompense, because it's that act of God.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's not the airlines screwing up. They can't. They're not.
You know, they don't have to help you too much
when it's the weather.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
They're a victim also, you know, sometimes you're the victim
and they're the victimizer, the airlines. But this time everybody's
a victim, except for the Lord Almighty himself, who half
deigned that this shall be the days of your aunt
Leslie not getting home on time. Poor aunt Leslie right
(06:57):
now on a shuttle bus to a day's in on
the outskirts of Dallas. Think about that, your poor aunt
Leslie with possibly, if she was lucky, a meal voucher
that she can use in the terminal. She can get
an anti en pretzel on the airline's dime if she's lucky.
(07:24):
All right, I think I've run that into the ground a.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Recompense and dained.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I'm getting quite the vocabulary lesson from you today, Wayne,
I do appreciate it. So you know, Governor Newsom is
positioning California to help illegal immigrants as President elect Trump
comes into office with this vow of mass deportation, and
there is apparently a plan developing called the Immigrants Support
Network concept. Political had reported about this, and this would
(07:53):
include regional hubs apparently all across the state that would
connect people in need of help to organized or other
people that can provide that help. We've got a state
senator in California, Scott Wiener, who has proposed legislation looking
for sixty million bucks, including some funds for immigrant detention
representation as well. So a lot of action and moving
(08:16):
parts here in California on behalf of illegal immigrants.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yes, listen, let's get some news and then we have
another related story, but we will get the news right after.
I point out to everybody that I saw you Michelle
stifling a giggle when he said the name of that
state senator.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I did see that. I saw it. Well a child
his name was Wiener wh.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Doesn't you guys, you know what it's like hosting a
show in a nursery school.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
In South Korea, there's been an impeachment two weeks after
the president there called for marshal law. We were all
kind of looking at South Korea, like, what exactly is
going on there? North Korea's right there, some weird stuff
is going down. What is happening to this democracy there
in Southeast Asia? Well, apparently the people there didn't like this,
(09:10):
so lawmakers voted today to impeach This guy's name is
Han Duck Sue and this is just two weeks after
he imposed this martial law, and it's it's been a
lot of fallouts since then. It's kind of a crazy
situation in South Korea. It almost makes us look quaint.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
It's actually crazier than you've described because what happened over
there is you had a president Yun Suck Yal, and
that's the person who imposed this martial law for six
hours and was impeached. And that was two weeks ago.
And now two weeks later they've impeached the new guy already,
(09:56):
the Han Duck su guy. So it's two impeachments in
two weeks in South Korea.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
It is, indeed, and my apologies I missed the name
President Yun Suk Yole, but yes, we've had two presidents
that have been in peach So yes, that is why
my note says it makes us look quaint we've impeached
a president before.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Although here's the deal now, is which is better or
worse or crazier? You impeach a president and then in
peach another one. So you that's two impeachments two presidents,
or you in peach one president twice.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Ooh you see.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I think we can give South Korea a run for
their money in the crazy politics department.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Just fine.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
We can don't understand, never under sell the United States
of America if you want to talk about I mean,
we don't. We haven't had people throwing shoes at each
other yet, which you see in some countries in their chambers,
in their legislative chambers, they start throwing shoes at each
other fifth fights have occurred. We have not had a
fistfight in a while anyway to my knowledge. So, but
(11:05):
we got our own quirks.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I mean, we did have a bowel movement left on
the House speaker's former House speakers desk.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Not that.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, but I don't think that was a That was
not a I don't think that was an elected officials leaving.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Not yet give us time. I think you're right, let's
on underestimate ourselves.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
We've got the.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Meanwhile, President elect Trump, remember when he said, ah, God, what.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Was his Christmas message?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Marry Christmas to everybody, including the soldiers, the Chinese soldiers
who are with great love but also against the law
running the Panama Canal. I know, I'm sure I paraphrased it,
but that's the gist of what he said. Well, now,
the president of Panama, whose Raoul Molino, says that is
(11:51):
crazy as wrong, it is nonsense. There is not a
Chinese soldier at the canal, and that you know, Trump
is just making up crazy stuff. But he also said,
we're not giving up the Panama Canal because it belongs
to Panama and we're Panama. It's our canal. Why do
(12:13):
you think it's called the Panama Canal because President Trump
wants to take control of it, because he says, we
spend a lot of money on it somehow, and yet
you know, we don't have anything to say about it,
just like he wants to buy Greenland, and so that
he's over too with the leaders of a thing he
(12:34):
wants to take over, agreeing with him. It's really weird
these people around the world. They don't seem to want
to let the United States take over their stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Have you seen this hot dat alert? Wayne, Well, i've
seen what you're are you subscribed to the heart dat alerts,
I've seen what you're talking about. But it did not
cause blood to move from many parts of my body
to other parts of my body.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, look more closely.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
My friend Elon Musk has apparently dropped some pounds. He
posted on x formerly known as Twitter, that he takes
this supplement called Munjaro. This is something for weight loss,
and he posted a picture of himself looking real lean,
ironically dressed as Santa Claus. So he called himself Ozimpa
(13:28):
Ozimpic Santa. Even though it's not Ozimpic he was taking.
He was, He says, quote technically munjaro, but that doesn't
have the same ring to it, so it's part of
those drugs. Munjaro and Ozimpic are both part of those
drugs people are taking. Wish are meant for other things,
but have been effective in helping people lose weight. So
those shirtless picks of elon musk that circulate every now
(13:51):
and then where he was on the boats, I think
he was starting to feel self conscious or something, because
if his picture is real, and who's to say, he
is a fan of misinformation and altered images, but if
it's real, he does look like he's slimmed down a bit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well, good for him.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
He also is a hilarious jokesmith, so funny saying he said,
I'm ozembic Santa. It's like cocaine bear, but Santa and ozembic.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, all right.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't think Rory Scovel or Andy Kindler or Patton
Oswald have anything to worry about right now.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
No, he's not particularly funny. He tries to be though
a lot.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
And also the fact that he was taking he's taking monjaro,
but he made everything Ozembic is perfectly emblematic of the
level of credibility that his social media platform provides to
the world. So a little conservative on concern vative bickering
(15:03):
going on after Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami, who are
heading the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE, said they need
now I remember they're both like tech bros. They said,
big tech companies desperately need foreign workers because there aren't
(15:27):
enough enthusiastic and talented engineers already here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
We need to bring them in.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
They appear to be talking about the H one B
visas for highly skilled workers, and some Republicans and conservatives
are angry at them, including everybody's favorite Darling, Laura Loomer.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Who accused who accused Elon.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Musko only buying his way into MAGA five minutes ago,
that they're trying to infiltrate the White House even though
they obviously don't support Donald Trump's immigration policies, because they're
talking about let us bring over a bunch of foreign workers.
(16:18):
And these H one B visas are controversial because if
you come over here on one, it's because you have
a job. It doesn't allow you to come over here
and look for a job. It's you have a job.
Somebody is hiring you, so you get to come and
they the employer. They have a lot of control over
your life. You can't go work for anybody else. And
(16:40):
if for some reason you lose that job that allowed
you to come over here, you're in big trouble. You
could be deported. So some people feel that these H
one B visas are exploitive in some way. I don't
know how Laura Lumer feels specifically about them. I think
she's just mad because she was the inside, she had
his ear and probably other appendages, and now she's on
(17:04):
the outside and they're on the inside.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
She doesn't like it, and I please lose.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Can we turn this into a three person octagon situation?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
What do you think this says about that winner gets
the immigration policy of their choice. Well, yeah, that's what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Like, there's so many different positions to be taken in
that Trump coalition. How fragile do you think it is
as he gets set to take office again?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Eh?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I mean, the bottom line is he's he put it
this way, He's appointed two people to be an important
part of the government and someone else he hung around
with briefly. So you tell me whose side he's most
likely on or who most likely has his ear.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, if you are somebody who has long wanted to
buy a politician a president of your own, you can
be a billionaire a little bit later. Tonight, the Mega
Millions jackpot has climbed to over a billion dollars one
point one five billion to be exact. So thirty straight
drawings of the Mega Millions, no winners, the ninth largest
(18:15):
lotto jackpot in US history.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's a big one. You got two bucks to spare. Wayne, Well,
the KFI Pol's gonna win it. So just so you
know that'd Michelle manages that for us. She does a
great job. And we tell who's.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Gonna be here, who's gonna be here on Monday. If
that happens, well not the people who have taken off.
I can tell you that maybe we can keep a
little secret, Michelle.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Ooh yeah, maybe, except I sent everybody out of the tickets.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh, you're so bad at fraud, I know.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
So it's a lot of money, the cash equip If
you just want the lump sum right now and not
in payments, it's still over half a billion dollars in
your pocket right away.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You're gonna need bigger pants. And I have to wonder pockets.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I have to wonder what's going to happen in April,
because April that Mega Million's tickets go from two dollars
a ticket to five dollars a ticket. Well, that means
the jackpots are going to get even bigger. If there's
longer and longer between people winning.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
It won't be long till there's a two billion dollar jackpot.
And someday in the future, when there are no recognizable
human beings and life on earth are a series of
brightly colored orbs, that those orbs will be buying lotto
tickets for trillion dollar jackpots.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's an unfathomable amount of money. I've often thought, if
you make one hundred thousand dollars, think of what you
can buy, think of how your you know, how your
money is spent, how much you can buy. Then double
it to just two hundred thousand, and think how different
your life could be. Then double that again to four
hundred and double that again.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I mean, are we going to go all the way
to it?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
We're gonna get with this double we get to one
point one five billion with this doubling. Just bear with me, No,
I'm just saying. I mean it's really unfathomable when you
catch a like that.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Do you want to do the do you want to
do the if you had one point one five billion
dollar bills, how far would they stack up to? How
many times would they go around the Earth or the Moon?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I don't have that readily available to you.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Okay, no, hey, get ready, if you want to make
some sweet Popeye porn, you'll be able to without any
legal repercussions starting January one, when the now be careful,
the original Popeye will go into the public domain, as
(20:35):
will Tintin, the beloved Belgian cartoon character.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Tintin's had like a reporter, right, yeah, I think so.
And he's got that little dog.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
He's got the little dog and a bunch of there's
like twins. I forgot what they're called, but there's these
two like gentlemen monopoly gentlemen looking twins that are part
of Tintin.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
They go into the public domain.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
As does a Mickey Mouse cartoon, The Carnival Kid, where
Mickey Mouse speaks for the first time. The Marx Brothers
first feature film goes into the public domain. Alfred Hitchcock's
first sound movie, Blackmail public domain. Feel free to mix
it up and the song's an American in Paris, and
(21:21):
this is the big one, singing in the rain. Wow
becomes public domain, meaning you can record it, you don't
have to pay anybody, you can mash it up, you
can do parody it, do whatever you want with no fear,
not even having to prove that what you did is parody.
(21:42):
Pretty good, and this is apparently trueay at least according
to this article from Axios. Remember when Winnie the Pooh
went public domain and then you had that horror movie
Blood and Honey or whatever, and then already a sequel.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
According to Axios.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Three separate popa horror movies are already in the worst.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh no, oh, no oh. What have we come to
as a society and a culture? All right? How did
how did the Netflix NFL games?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Oh? Yes, of course, look they threw some NFL games
on the streamer. Question was could they handle it? Netflix?
Were they ready? We saw some problems with that boxing
match a little earlier this month, and it turns out
that it was a little shaky. It wasn't great, but
people tuned in in droves. Twenty four point three million
(22:35):
viewers on Wednesday for the Ravens Texans game and twenty
four point one million for the Chiefs Steelers game. That's
according to Nielsen that reviewed this data. That's a lot,
and I mean it was a big deal because Beyonce
put on a halftime show that looked like it could
have been at the Super Bowl. I mean, they really
put a lot into the production here. Of course, the
(22:57):
broadcast was produced I believe by a team from CBS,
because Netflix doesn't have that kind of capability in house.
But still they went all out for these two football
games on Netflix and people sat down and watched.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And a big, big fire did a lot of damage
to a building in downtown LA with quite a history,
a rock and roll history. This building used to house
the Morrison Hotel, made famous by the rock band The
Doors on the cover of their album Morrison Hotel. There's
(23:34):
the band posing under the sign anybody over I don't
know sixty five maybe has the image burned in your
burned in your brain, unless you burned it out with
all that skunk weed.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Anyway, it was.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
A pretty big fire and they did finally get it
under control. No no injuries reported, no other structures were damaged,
and they're still working on determining the cause of the fire.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Pretty massive fire down there. Check out the videos if
you haven't seen them. Quite quite a big fire. Can
you imagine throwing back a cocktail of this holiday season,
especially on New Year's ringing in the New year, only
to find yourself still sober? Apparently there's a lot of fat,
fake booze out there. You can't even drown your sorrows
(24:30):
in this country anymore. Apparently, according to some experts at
Harriet Watt University, as much as forty percent of what
people are drinking in some parts of Europe, of all places,
they're not real.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay, I did. I didn't take it that.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
It's a counterfeit booze, meaning it doesn't have any alcohol
in it.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They're just not what, you know, what you paid for.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yes, you know it's not it's not.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Real Rolex whiskey. Yeah, So what is that?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
That's a cheap knockoff that you bought down in santi Alli.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well, I live near santi Alli, and I can tell
you if I bought the knockoff there, I don't know
if i'd feel it. You know, if I wanted Kentucky
bourbon and you gave me some sort of like US
Virgin Islands Bourbon. I don't know, I'm gonna feel that.
That's oh boy, Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So here's the thing, right, it's if we're just gonna
tell the people, hey man, there's a lot of fake
booze going around.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
They were not helping anybody. Oh, I see what you're saying.
So it's a knockoff brand, is what you want me
to emphasize?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
No, no, no, no, no no no. I'm good.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I'm trying to get to I'm trying to get to
the positive. I'm trying to get to the positive. News
is n Oh god, Michelle, here I go.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Uh oh what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Here?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I go?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I could probably stop myself, but I'm not gonna News
for some time has been unrelentingly negative and upsetting and despairing.
And I have noticed a trend that even in stories
(26:15):
where there's something in it that's positive or hopeful, it
is left out.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I don't know if this is by design. We all
know the old phrase, if it bleeds, it leads. So
this issue has been around for a long time, that
news agencies, and I'm criticizing every single one of them,
every one of them. You understand what I'm saying, Michelle,
(26:41):
every everyone one of them seems to want to tell
you about murders and rapes and fires, and we just
did it. But at least there's an angle, and a
lot of times there's.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Like no no.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
On the other hand, so here's the On the other hand,
science is coming to the rescue to protect people from
buying the counterfeit booze because they're going to put together
the equivalent of DNA.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
For booze.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
It's the specific chemical fingerprint of each spirit. And they
say they will have a way for you to tell
without needing a bunch of bulky testing equipment or anything
like that. There will be a way to quickly verify
the authenticity of a bottle of booze without even opening
(27:37):
the bottle.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
That's fantastic news.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
So you if you're going to counterfeit that Pappy van
Winkles or whatever, you better do it while you can
because science is coming for you.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Oh okay, this is my favor. It's the best one.
This is the best one, my favorite.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I've tried to find a booking photo of this of
the person who is the subject of this story.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I cannot find one.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Because I really I want to know how outrageous her
gambit was.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Here's what happened anywhere in this country, you could say.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
And there've been a series of thefts recently, and that
is true in Sonoma County. So one day, a couple
of Shares's deputies are out, they see this car, the
headlights are out, the registration is expired, and they recognize
it from some previous theft. So they pull the car
over and there's a driver in a passenger and the
(28:39):
passenger gives a name and says, oh, and my date
of birth is something something twenty twelve. So we have
a twelve year old, Ladies and gentlemen, a twelve year
old riding around with an adult woman stealing stuff. Because
the car was full of stuff. I think it was
(29:02):
mostly beauty products and booze. And I think that we
all can agree that involving a twelve year old in
organized retail theft is as despicable as it gets, except
for one thing.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's not twelve twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
A twenty nine year old tried to tell the cops
that she was twelve. Now do you think either of
these deputies thought for one second that she was actually twelve?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Now, they did not.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And the reason I want to see the booking photo
is because I want to know if there's any possibility
that if she had said she was seventeen, that maybe
possibly it could have worked and she overshot her goal.
But in any event, Coronicia Brooks of Antioch is now
looking if ive fell in each other charges organize retail
(30:01):
theft and impersonating a child because.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You're not allowed to do that. That's a charge, My goodness,
it is. That is a charge. You're right, it's a charge.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
They're out on bail, thirty thousand bail each, which is
why when I did search the Sonoma County Jail inmate locator,
she was not in.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
There, because she's not in there right now. But man,
oh man, if.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
You're gonna tell a lie, you've got to at least
you have to learn how to lie with plausibility.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Man oh man, I wouldn't want to go on a
date with her.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
You can spin off your own scenario specifically, why, Okay,
at least it wasn't the other way around way, which
is dumber, Which is dumber a twenty nine year old
saying they're twelve, or a twelve year old saying they're
twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
A twenty nine year old saying they're twelve. Who would
have a better shot at buying some fake liquor.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
A twelve year old with a fake ID saying they're
twenty nine or a twenty Well, a twenty nine year
old just would use their real ID, I would hope.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
But if they look young, would they get carded? Questioned, Oh, yeah,
you're supposed to get carded.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Isn't it.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
They Well, I know some stores have signs that say
we card anybody who looks like they might be under thirty.
Then other stores say we card everybody. And I did
buy subooz the other day and I had to show
my ID and I look at this beard that is gray,
and I there's no way in hell I'm under twenty one.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Me neither.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
But I just know when I go like to Bevmo,
they actually scan the ID now, and a grocery store.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
They scan them place.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yes, grocery stores in particular are doing that now or there,
or somebody comes over if you're at the self checkout.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
If you're at the self checkout you're trying to buy booze,
I don't think you're supposed to or well.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
It depends on what state you're in, and as you know,
sometimes I'm not in California. If you go to self
check oops, if you go if you go to the
self checkout and you scan booze, the thing goes bid required.
Somebody runs over and you have to show me your ID,
and they typed something into the keypad. I think they
(32:20):
type your date of birth into the to the keypad.
So there you go. Hey, what did we just learn
a lot that I that I that I know that
I know more about different states self checkout alcohol buying
laws than Michelle does. Let's get something very late new.
(32:41):
I'm so sorry, Michael Monks.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
All right, man, I'm this is not something that has
happened in a while, but this is terrible. Now. I
don't know what the new procedure is.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
There used to be a procedure that I didn't think
was fair that if the host like me blabbed and
blabbed and went super super insanely late, that news would
have to try to cut their newscast. I hope that's
not the current policy.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I do not cut my newscasts. All right, fantastic And
there that's read every word.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
K IF I am six forty Live Ever in the
ir app, you've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
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 kf I
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Ladies and gentlemen. Here's Wayne Resnick.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Good Morning, Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Still on holiday vacation, Wayne Resnik here until nine and
this is when we do Handle on the news for you.
Here's who's here today producing the show. Michelle Cube in
for Ann who's taking a holiday vacation. Good morning, Good morning,
(00:53):
Kono is here, Good morning You're You're the only regular
member of the morning crew who cares enough about the
listener work I do.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I care so much about the listener to work.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
In for Amy King, who will be here next week
and therefore should be exempt from my criticism because she
is working on a holiday week next week.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
In for Amy King is Michael Monks. Good morning, Good Morning,
Buenos Dias. Quick correction. She will not be here on
New Year's Day or the day after, so don't give
her too much credit.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Now what, Yeah, I'll be back with you.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I mean that's great, But now really conflicted because I
trashed her. I collectively trashed a group of people and
she was one of them. And then I made a
point of singling her out to be rehabilitated, And now
I find out I have been made a fool.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
She's undeserving. Well, you know, she kind of is.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
But I didn't think i'd ever have such conflicted feelings
about a human being before as I do about Amy King.
Right now now I have a question why bother? But
why didn't she just.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Take the two weeks off like the other three Lasos? Oh,
I'm grateful she didn't die. Love, What are you trying
to prove? What?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
What is she? But who is she trying to fool?
And what is she trying to prove?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
She might be stockpiling vacation days for like a nice
long Caribbean trip later on.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, she works very hard. She does deserve her
time off.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Yes, obviously, I'm kidding around and having fun. I don't
actually think ill of Amy King. Okay, but but she
is much more with the group of Lasos than she
is with us.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
A hard working holiday folk, and Kno, you really stand
out now.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is the shining star.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Of the morning crew, the one that people should aspire
to be. And I hope that you're getting I hope
every day you're getting the love and the appreciation that
you deserve from the regular morning crew. I just hope
that every single day Bill Handle is on the air
making a point of expressing his gratitude and admiration for
(03:16):
how much you help make the show happen.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, because that's what Bill's about, gratitude and appreciation.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
All right, everybody, let's do some handle on the news
right now with this lead story right.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Know, there was the story about American Airlines calling a
ground stop for an hour for technical problems, which did
cause some delays and hassle for some holiday travelers. But
now it's Mother Nature getting in on the act of
bumming you out. There's a big storm system and it's
a big one and it's a dangerous one. Two states
(03:58):
at least Texas and louise Or under tornado warnings. There
are over four million people under a level three storm threat.
That's three out of five, and it's centering around Houston
right now and also the eastern part of Texas and
into Louisiana. And it'll keep, you know, moving up. But
(04:21):
in any event, ground stops at Dallas Fort Worth International
Dallas love Field.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
The Governor of Texas.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Greg Abbott has requested emergency response. And I think you
said earlier, Michael Monks, in your newscast you were talking
about the local weather and you said it's just gonna
get worse. Yeah, the cloudiness or whatever. Well, it's the
same thing for these people that right now they're in
the situation where it's going to get worse before it
(04:51):
gets better. So this is a major storm and lots
and lots of flights are being canceled.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yesterday more than seven hundred flights were canceled.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You know, there were about seven hundred and seven fifty
flights canceled, and several hundred of those were just Dallas
Fort Worth. That's a weird airport for weatherwise, because it's
in an area and I don't understand it. I'm not
trying to be a meteorologist or anything. I just know
for a fact because it was explained to me one
(05:23):
time when I had a flight out of there and
there was this weird They get these weird, localized intense
storm actions sometimes around Dallas Fort Worth International Airport that
aren't necessarily affecting a broader area, and they have to
cancel a bunch of flights and then you have to
get on a bus with a bunch of strangers and
(05:44):
go to a hotel where you're getting where you're not
getting it for free, but you're getting it at some
allegedly special airline negotiated rate. So they're kind of used
to this, but this is affecting a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
If you have any I was just gonna say, have
a one hour grounding of the of the flights earlier
this week caused as many problems as it did.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
What can we expect from something like this?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Sheer hell, bedlam, violence, probably much weeping, lamentations and rending
of garments, and no recompense, because it's that act of God.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
It's not the airlines screwing up. They can't. They're not.
You know, they don't have to help you too much
when it's the weather.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
They're a victim also, you know, sometimes you're the victim
and they're the victimizer, the airlines. But this time everybody's
a victim, except for the Lord Almighty himself, who half
deigned that this shall be the days of your aunt
Leslie not getting home on time. Poor aunt Leslie right
(06:57):
now on a shuttle bus to a day's in on
the outskirts of Dallas. Think about that, your poor aunt
Leslie with possibly, if she was lucky, a meal voucher
that she can use in the terminal. She can get
an anti en pretzel on the airline's dime if she's lucky.
(07:24):
All right, I think I've run that into the ground a.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Recompense and dained.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I'm getting quite the vocabulary lesson from you today, Wayne,
I do appreciate it. So you know, Governor Newsom is
positioning California to help illegal immigrants as President elect Trump
comes into office with this vow of mass deportation, and
there is apparently a plan developing called the Immigrants Support
Network concept. Political had reported about this, and this would
(07:53):
include regional hubs apparently all across the state that would
connect people in need of help to organized or other
people that can provide that help. We've got a state
senator in California, Scott Wiener, who has proposed legislation looking
for sixty million bucks, including some funds for immigrant detention
representation as well. So a lot of action and moving
(08:16):
parts here in California on behalf of illegal immigrants.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yes, listen, let's get some news and then we have
another related story, but we will get the news right after.
I point out to everybody that I saw you Michelle
stifling a giggle when he said the name of that
state senator.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I did see that. I saw it. Well a child
his name was Wiener wh.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Doesn't you guys, you know what it's like hosting a
show in a nursery school.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
In South Korea, there's been an impeachment two weeks after
the president there called for marshal law. We were all
kind of looking at South Korea, like, what exactly is
going on there? North Korea's right there, some weird stuff
is going down. What is happening to this democracy there
in Southeast Asia? Well, apparently the people there didn't like this,
(09:10):
so lawmakers voted today to impeach This guy's name is
Han Duck Sue and this is just two weeks after
he imposed this martial law, and it's it's been a
lot of fallouts since then. It's kind of a crazy
situation in South Korea. It almost makes us look quaint.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
It's actually crazier than you've described because what happened over
there is you had a president Yun Suck Yal, and
that's the person who imposed this martial law for six
hours and was impeached. And that was two weeks ago.
And now two weeks later they've impeached the new guy already,
(09:56):
the Han Duck su guy. So it's two impeachments in
two weeks in South Korea.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
It is, indeed, and my apologies I missed the name
President Yun Suk Yole, but yes, we've had two presidents
that have been in peach So yes, that is why
my note says it makes us look quaint we've impeached
a president before.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Although here's the deal now, is which is better or
worse or crazier? You impeach a president and then in
peach another one. So you that's two impeachments two presidents,
or you in peach one president twice.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Ooh you see.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I think we can give South Korea a run for
their money in the crazy politics department.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Just fine.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
We can don't understand, never under sell the United States
of America if you want to talk about I mean,
we don't. We haven't had people throwing shoes at each
other yet, which you see in some countries in their chambers,
in their legislative chambers, they start throwing shoes at each
other fifth fights have occurred. We have not had a
fistfight in a while anyway to my knowledge. So, but
(11:05):
we got our own quirks.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I mean, we did have a bowel movement left on
the House speaker's former House speakers desk.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Not that.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, but I don't think that was a That was
not a I don't think that was an elected officials leaving.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Not yet give us time. I think you're right, let's
on underestimate ourselves.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
We've got the.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Meanwhile, President elect Trump, remember when he said, ah, God, what.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Was his Christmas message?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Marry Christmas to everybody, including the soldiers, the Chinese soldiers
who are with great love but also against the law
running the Panama Canal. I know, I'm sure I paraphrased it,
but that's the gist of what he said. Well, now,
the president of Panama, whose Raoul Molino, says that is
(11:51):
crazy as wrong, it is nonsense. There is not a
Chinese soldier at the canal, and that you know, Trump
is just making up crazy stuff. But he also said,
we're not giving up the Panama Canal because it belongs
to Panama and we're Panama. It's our canal. Why do
(12:13):
you think it's called the Panama Canal because President Trump
wants to take control of it, because he says, we
spend a lot of money on it somehow, and yet
you know, we don't have anything to say about it,
just like he wants to buy Greenland, and so that
he's over too with the leaders of a thing he
(12:34):
wants to take over, agreeing with him. It's really weird
these people around the world. They don't seem to want
to let the United States take over their stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Have you seen this hot dat alert? Wayne, Well, i've
seen what you're are you subscribed to the heart dat alerts,
I've seen what you're talking about. But it did not
cause blood to move from many parts of my body
to other parts of my body.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Well, look more closely.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
My friend Elon Musk has apparently dropped some pounds. He
posted on x formerly known as Twitter, that he takes
this supplement called Munjaro. This is something for weight loss,
and he posted a picture of himself looking real lean,
ironically dressed as Santa Claus. So he called himself Ozimpa
(13:28):
Ozimpic Santa. Even though it's not Ozimpic he was taking.
He was, He says, quote technically munjaro, but that doesn't
have the same ring to it, so it's part of
those drugs. Munjaro and Ozimpic are both part of those
drugs people are taking. Wish are meant for other things,
but have been effective in helping people lose weight. So
those shirtless picks of elon musk that circulate every now
(13:51):
and then where he was on the boats, I think
he was starting to feel self conscious or something, because
if his picture is real, and who's to say, he
is a fan of misinformation and altered images, but if
it's real, he does look like he's slimmed down a bit.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well, good for him.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
He also is a hilarious jokesmith, so funny saying he said,
I'm ozembic Santa. It's like cocaine bear, but Santa and ozembic.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
All right, all right.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I don't think Rory Scovel or Andy Kindler or Patton
Oswald have anything to worry about right now.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
No, he's not particularly funny. He tries to be though
a lot.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
And also the fact that he was taking he's taking monjaro,
but he made everything Ozembic is perfectly emblematic of the
level of credibility that his social media platform provides to
the world. So a little conservative on concern vative bickering
(15:03):
going on after Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami, who are
heading the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE, said they need
now I remember they're both like tech bros. They said,
big tech companies desperately need foreign workers because there aren't
(15:27):
enough enthusiastic and talented engineers already here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
We need to bring them in.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
They appear to be talking about the H one B
visas for highly skilled workers, and some Republicans and conservatives
are angry at them, including everybody's favorite Darling, Laura Loomer.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Who accused who accused Elon.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Musko only buying his way into MAGA five minutes ago,
that they're trying to infiltrate the White House even though
they obviously don't support Donald Trump's immigration policies, because they're
talking about let us bring over a bunch of foreign workers.
(16:18):
And these H one B visas are controversial because if
you come over here on one, it's because you have
a job. It doesn't allow you to come over here
and look for a job. It's you have a job.
Somebody is hiring you, so you get to come and
they the employer. They have a lot of control over
your life. You can't go work for anybody else. And
(16:40):
if for some reason you lose that job that allowed
you to come over here, you're in big trouble. You
could be deported. So some people feel that these H
one B visas are exploitive in some way. I don't
know how Laura Lumer feels specifically about them. I think
she's just mad because she was the inside, she had
his ear and probably other appendages, and now she's on
(17:04):
the outside and they're on the inside.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
She doesn't like it, and I please lose.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Can we turn this into a three person octagon situation?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
What do you think this says about that winner gets
the immigration policy of their choice. Well, yeah, that's what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Like, there's so many different positions to be taken in
that Trump coalition. How fragile do you think it is
as he gets set to take office again?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Eh?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I mean, the bottom line is he's he put it
this way, He's appointed two people to be an important
part of the government and someone else he hung around
with briefly. So you tell me whose side he's most
likely on or who most likely has his ear.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, if you are somebody who has long wanted to
buy a politician a president of your own, you can
be a billionaire a little bit later. Tonight, the Mega
Millions jackpot has climbed to over a billion dollars one
point one five billion to be exact. So thirty straight
drawings of the Mega Millions, no winners, the ninth largest
(18:15):
lotto jackpot in US history.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's a big one. You got two bucks to spare. Wayne, Well,
the KFI Pol's gonna win it. So just so you
know that'd Michelle manages that for us. She does a
great job. And we tell who's.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Gonna be here, who's gonna be here on Monday. If
that happens, well not the people who have taken off.
I can tell you that maybe we can keep a
little secret, Michelle.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Ooh yeah, maybe, except I sent everybody out of the tickets.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh, you're so bad at fraud, I know.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
So it's a lot of money, the cash equip If
you just want the lump sum right now and not
in payments, it's still over half a billion dollars in
your pocket right away.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You're gonna need bigger pants. And I have to wonder pockets.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I have to wonder what's going to happen in April,
because April that Mega Million's tickets go from two dollars
a ticket to five dollars a ticket. Well, that means
the jackpots are going to get even bigger. If there's
longer and longer between people winning.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
It won't be long till there's a two billion dollar jackpot.
And someday in the future, when there are no recognizable
human beings and life on earth are a series of
brightly colored orbs, that those orbs will be buying lotto
tickets for trillion dollar jackpots.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
It's an unfathomable amount of money. I've often thought, if
you make one hundred thousand dollars, think of what you
can buy, think of how your you know, how your
money is spent, how much you can buy. Then double
it to just two hundred thousand, and think how different
your life could be. Then double that again to four
hundred and double that again.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I mean, are we going to go all the way
to it?
Speaker 4 (19:54):
We're gonna get with this double we get to one
point one five billion with this doubling. Just bear with me, No,
I'm just saying. I mean it's really unfathomable when you
catch a like that.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Do you want to do the do you want to
do the if you had one point one five billion
dollar bills, how far would they stack up to? How
many times would they go around the Earth or the Moon?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I don't have that readily available to you.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Okay, no, hey, get ready, if you want to make
some sweet Popeye porn, you'll be able to without any
legal repercussions starting January one, when the now be careful,
the original Popeye will go into the public domain, as
(20:35):
will Tintin, the beloved Belgian cartoon character.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Tintin's had like a reporter, right, yeah, I think so.
And he's got that little dog.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
He's got the little dog and a bunch of there's
like twins. I forgot what they're called, but there's these
two like gentlemen monopoly gentlemen looking twins that are part
of Tintin.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
They go into the public domain.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
As does a Mickey Mouse cartoon, The Carnival Kid, where
Mickey Mouse speaks for the first time. The Marx Brothers
first feature film goes into the public domain. Alfred Hitchcock's
first sound movie, Blackmail public domain. Feel free to mix
it up and the song's an American in Paris, and
(21:21):
this is the big one, singing in the rain. Wow
becomes public domain, meaning you can record it, you don't
have to pay anybody, you can mash it up, you
can do parody it, do whatever you want with no fear,
not even having to prove that what you did is parody.
(21:42):
Pretty good, and this is apparently trueay at least according
to this article from Axios. Remember when Winnie the Pooh
went public domain and then you had that horror movie
Blood and Honey or whatever, and then already a sequel.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
According to Axios.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Three separate popa horror movies are already in the worst.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh no, oh, no oh. What have we come to
as a society and a culture? All right? How did
how did the Netflix NFL games?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Oh? Yes, of course, look they threw some NFL games
on the streamer. Question was could they handle it? Netflix?
Were they ready? We saw some problems with that boxing
match a little earlier this month, and it turns out
that it was a little shaky. It wasn't great, but
people tuned in in droves. Twenty four point three million
(22:35):
viewers on Wednesday for the Ravens Texans game and twenty
four point one million for the Chiefs Steelers game. That's
according to Nielsen that reviewed this data. That's a lot,
and I mean it was a big deal because Beyonce
put on a halftime show that looked like it could
have been at the Super Bowl. I mean, they really
put a lot into the production here. Of course, the
(22:57):
broadcast was produced I believe by a team from CBS,
because Netflix doesn't have that kind of capability in house.
But still they went all out for these two football
games on Netflix and people sat down and watched.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And a big, big fire did a lot of damage
to a building in downtown LA with quite a history,
a rock and roll history. This building used to house
the Morrison Hotel, made famous by the rock band The
Doors on the cover of their album Morrison Hotel. There's
(23:34):
the band posing under the sign anybody over I don't
know sixty five maybe has the image burned in your
burned in your brain, unless you burned it out with
all that skunk weed.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Anyway, it was.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
A pretty big fire and they did finally get it
under control. No no injuries reported, no other structures were damaged,
and they're still working on determining the cause of the fire.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Pretty massive fire down there. Check out the videos if
you haven't seen them. Quite quite a big fire. Can
you imagine throwing back a cocktail of this holiday season,
especially on New Year's ringing in the New year, only
to find yourself still sober? Apparently there's a lot of fat,
fake booze out there. You can't even drown your sorrows
(24:30):
in this country anymore. Apparently, according to some experts at
Harriet Watt University, as much as forty percent of what
people are drinking in some parts of Europe, of all places,
they're not real.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Okay, I did. I didn't take it that.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
It's a counterfeit booze, meaning it doesn't have any alcohol
in it.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They're just not what, you know, what you paid for.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yes, you know it's not it's not.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Real Rolex whiskey. Yeah, So what is that?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
That's a cheap knockoff that you bought down in santi Alli.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well, I live near santi Alli, and I can tell
you if I bought the knockoff there, I don't know
if i'd feel it. You know, if I wanted Kentucky
bourbon and you gave me some sort of like US
Virgin Islands Bourbon. I don't know, I'm gonna feel that.
That's oh boy, Okay.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
So here's the thing, right, it's if we're just gonna
tell the people, hey man, there's a lot of fake
booze going around.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
They were not helping anybody. Oh, I see what you're saying.
So it's a knockoff brand, is what you want me
to emphasize?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
No, no, no, no, no no no. I'm good.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I'm trying to get to I'm trying to get to
the positive. I'm trying to get to the positive. News
is n Oh god, Michelle, here I go.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Uh oh what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Here?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
I go?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I could probably stop myself, but I'm not gonna News
for some time has been unrelentingly negative and upsetting and despairing.
And I have noticed a trend that even in stories
(26:15):
where there's something in it that's positive or hopeful, it
is left out.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
I don't know if this is by design. We all
know the old phrase, if it bleeds, it leads. So
this issue has been around for a long time, that
news agencies, and I'm criticizing every single one of them,
every one of them. You understand what I'm saying, Michelle,
(26:41):
every everyone one of them seems to want to tell
you about murders and rapes and fires, and we just
did it. But at least there's an angle, and a
lot of times there's.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Like no no.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
On the other hand, so here's the On the other hand,
science is coming to the rescue to protect people from
buying the counterfeit booze because they're going to put together
the equivalent of DNA.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
For booze.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
It's the specific chemical fingerprint of each spirit. And they
say they will have a way for you to tell
without needing a bunch of bulky testing equipment or anything
like that. There will be a way to quickly verify
the authenticity of a bottle of booze without even opening
(27:37):
the bottle.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
That's fantastic news.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
So you if you're going to counterfeit that Pappy van
Winkles or whatever, you better do it while you can
because science is coming for you.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Oh okay, this is my favor. It's the best one.
This is the best one, my favorite.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
I've tried to find a booking photo of this of
the person who is the subject of this story.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I cannot find one.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Because I really I want to know how outrageous her
gambit was.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Here's what happened anywhere in this country, you could say.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
And there've been a series of thefts recently, and that
is true in Sonoma County. So one day, a couple
of Shares's deputies are out, they see this car, the
headlights are out, the registration is expired, and they recognize
it from some previous theft. So they pull the car
over and there's a driver in a passenger and the
(28:39):
passenger gives a name and says, oh, and my date
of birth is something something twenty twelve. So we have
a twelve year old, Ladies and gentlemen, a twelve year
old riding around with an adult woman stealing stuff. Because
the car was full of stuff. I think it was
(29:02):
mostly beauty products and booze. And I think that we
all can agree that involving a twelve year old in
organized retail theft is as despicable as it gets, except
for one thing.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It's not twelve twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
A twenty nine year old tried to tell the cops
that she was twelve. Now do you think either of
these deputies thought for one second that she was actually twelve?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Now, they did not.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
And the reason I want to see the booking photo
is because I want to know if there's any possibility
that if she had said she was seventeen, that maybe
possibly it could have worked and she overshot her goal.
But in any event, Coronicia Brooks of Antioch is now
looking if ive fell in each other charges organize retail
(30:01):
theft and impersonating a child because.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You're not allowed to do that. That's a charge, My goodness,
it is. That is a charge. You're right, it's a charge.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
They're out on bail, thirty thousand bail each, which is
why when I did search the Sonoma County Jail inmate locator,
she was not in.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
There, because she's not in there right now. But man,
oh man, if.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
You're gonna tell a lie, you've got to at least
you have to learn how to lie with plausibility.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Man oh man, I wouldn't want to go on a
date with her.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
You can spin off your own scenario specifically, why, Okay,
at least it wasn't the other way around way, which
is dumber, Which is dumber a twenty nine year old
saying they're twelve, or a twelve year old saying they're
twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
A twenty nine year old saying they're twelve. Who would
have a better shot at buying some fake liquor.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
A twelve year old with a fake ID saying they're
twenty nine or a twenty Well, a twenty nine year
old just would use their real ID, I would hope.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
But if they look young, would they get carded? Questioned, Oh, yeah,
you're supposed to get carded.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Isn't it.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
They Well, I know some stores have signs that say
we card anybody who looks like they might be under thirty.
Then other stores say we card everybody. And I did
buy subooz the other day and I had to show
my ID and I look at this beard that is gray,
and I there's no way in hell I'm under twenty one.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Me neither.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
But I just know when I go like to Bevmo,
they actually scan the ID now, and a grocery store.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
They scan them place.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Yes, grocery stores in particular are doing that now or there,
or somebody comes over if you're at the self checkout.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
If you're at the self checkout you're trying to buy booze,
I don't think you're supposed to or well.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
It depends on what state you're in, and as you know,
sometimes I'm not in California. If you go to self
check oops, if you go if you go to the
self checkout and you scan booze, the thing goes bid required.
Somebody runs over and you have to show me your ID,
and they typed something into the keypad. I think they
(32:20):
type your date of birth into the to the keypad.
So there you go. Hey, what did we just learn
a lot that I that I that I know that
I know more about different states self checkout alcohol buying
laws than Michelle does. Let's get something very late new.
(32:41):
I'm so sorry, Michael Monks.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
All right, man, I'm this is not something that has
happened in a while, but this is terrible. Now. I
don't know what the new procedure is.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
There used to be a procedure that I didn't think
was fair that if the host like me blabbed and
blabbed and went super super insanely late, that news would
have to try to cut their newscast. I hope that's
not the current policy.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
I do not cut my newscasts. All right, fantastic And
