Here's what I want to do.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
If our friend who was deported is able to show up, Neil,
we have to put her next to him. Rodrigo will
not be showing up. He's already gone. You can call
him in Mexico.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
And now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Story.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Everybody, Bill Handle Morning Crew on a Monday, June night.
That promo, by the way, was a reference to the
dinner that all of us, that is, all of us
on the Morning Crew had with some listeners who won
a contest, and we were at the Anaheim White House.
And for those of us who've been before, we know

(00:57):
how fabulous the food is. For those who've never been H's,
you were introduced to some incredible food. Anyway, that had
to do with one of our win winners, Rodrigo, who
is Hispanic. I have having him sit next to Michelle,
who was a former ice agent, and the two of
them got along, got along beautifully, both telling stories on

(01:19):
either side of the coin. In any case, good morning
to everybody, Neil, good morning.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Good morning, and Latinos hate the term Hispanic. Sorry, I'm
just saying you don't need to put panic in anything
for one.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
And then secondly, oh, the word panic.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
But is that how we're starting the show this morning?

Speaker 5 (01:45):
I'm just saying he's from Mexico or his family's from Mexico.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Okay, I'm already sick of this show and we just
started it. Amy, Good morning, Hi Phil, Hi.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Amy came in with her normal wherever we do an event,
looks like she just came in from her stint in
Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Uh, the glittery top.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
I believe you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
She always wears the glittery top whenever we do anything
she does. She loves blain. It looks great and blaining
it was really nice.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
You know, the normal you know, her boots and her
I mean, it's just it's her uniform.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
And it just works. And good morning.

What Will? Who is the newest member of the team, Will,
good morning? Can't hear you? Will microphone is not on now?

Speaker 6 (02:41):

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Nope, No, Will's microphone is not on. He's doing the
best impression of Helen Keller I've ever seen.

Speaker 5 (02:49):

Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, you can't anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Will he obviously came to the dinner to be introduced
to everybody, and no one knew who he was, and the.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
People who did know who he was ignored him.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
So Will was off in the corner and eating by himself.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
No one would say.

Speaker 7 (03:14):
The funniest thing about Will is that he's our traffic guy.
And guess who was late because of traffic.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
It was our traffic guy.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
And we were celebrating Will, pretending it was in a
helicopter and making all the sound effects at the table
because it's now KFI.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
On the ground.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
And finally, Cono is not here, but Sam is filling
in for Cono this morning.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
And Sam's wearing a hat.

Speaker 1 (03:41):

Kno without his hat most and we.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Didn't recognize him.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
No one knew who he was.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
He comes in with Heather or his wife, and who
the hell is that one of.

Speaker 2 (03:55):

Speaker 4 (04:06):
No hat.

Speaker 7 (04:07):
Yeah, yeah, I literally thought he was one of the guests. Yeah,
looking down the table going who's that guy?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
And Jim Keeney came and Jim did I announced this
that Jim, even though he's an er doc and now
medical director of hospital in Long Beach, actually did his
residency in proctology and he was kind enough to offer
a free exam. So we set up a little area
with curtains in the corner and so that it was

(04:34):
a good time had by all.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Wow, you went back there so many times. I thought,
how many checkups do you need?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I know, I know, And okay, I'm not going to
go down that path anyway. Will, is your microphone not working?

Speaker 7 (04:53):
It's not that his microphone isn't working. It's Sam, who's
filling in for Cono hasn't figured out how to turn
him on.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
There.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, here they are right there is all right? Will
you're there, I'm here. Okay, there you are finally it
was so fun.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
It was so fun.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
The other night I got to meet doctor Jim and
Dana was there with the you know.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Oh yeah you didn't shoot anybody? Yeah, Dana? Who is
who is security?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
We have to bring security every event if we announced it,
mainly due to years and years ago, there were one
or two or five or fifteen death threats that were
off in our direction.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
So as a matter of policy, they bring us.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
They bring Dana, who occasionally will shoot someone in the
heart for me, and it is just terrific.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
Nice, Okay, fair enough, you.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Are we done?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh and what did we give out? M Zelman's minte
mouth mints? And I had forgotten them, and so Neil
brought some, uh beautifully packaged I might add in that
plastic bag that used Ralph's.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Produce bad It wasn't a actually is one of the spare.
I have a little tresh container in the back of
my truck and it was one of those.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
One of those. Excellent. Okay, are you guys ready to
do it? I said hello to everybody. I think I did.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Let's do it, guys, It's time for a handle on
the news, Amy Neil me lead story. Well, National Guard
arrives in LA. The fallout from the raids continues, as
you heard Amy this morning with the news that where
we're gonna expect more demonstrations today.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm going to be doing more about that a lot.
Alex Stone is joining us.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
He's here in Los Angeles, ABC News correspondent, and we'll
have his take. We'll talk a little bit about it,
and I've got a comment or two. Because of course
the National Guard has been called in.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Why.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
I have absolutely no idea none, But we're going to
see an aircraft carrier come in pretty soon later on
today and the F fifteen fighter jets will be deployed
over Los Angeles and will be shooting down any demonstrator.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Says the man who lives in a gated community.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
No, general, the overreaction is crazy. I mean it doesn't
have you know, the.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Police can handle it. It is in hundreds of thousands
of people there.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
The police. The LAPD works for Mayor bass. I do
not trust her to take care of this situation.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
But the cop what do you think is just going
to be ignored you. I'm going to go give a
little bit history the National.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
You remember the Black Lives Matter.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
That was hundreds of.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
But you've got people that are causing massive hav it
that are with or not with the protest, doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
No, you're right.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
They should have not only called in several thousand members
of the National Guard, I think forty fifty thousand members
of the Armed Services here to come in too, and
completely surrounded everybody. All I'm saying is is it appropriate.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
For authorities to deal with it? Yes?

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Is there a little bit of a broad brush here, Yes,
and what I think is appropriate, But too much sometimes happen,
especially with this administration. We'll talk more about that, and
then the legal issues, by the way, that are involved
in sending in the National Guard, And I'm going to
talk about that coming up at seven twenty because there

(08:27):
is some issue there too.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
So we've got a lot to cover. Let's do one
more and then we'll take a break.

Speaker 7 (08:33):
Driverless taxis got into way more trouble than they bargained for.

Speaker 6 (08:38):
Waimo trouble, Weymo trouble.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
Yeah, so the protesters took over I want to know
how they got into these things.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Don't they have locks on them?

Speaker 7 (08:49):
They got into several Waimo driverless taxis down town, LA yesterday,
took them over, beat the crap out of them, tagged them,
and then started them on fire, sending thick plumes of
black smoke billowing into the air.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
And isn't that fun because those lithium.

Speaker 7 (09:07):
Batteries just burn and burn and burn, and toxic smoke
emitting from them.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
I've always wondered, what good do these demonstrators think is
coming from blocking the freeways, torching buildings and cars tagging
the buildings.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
U and I guess asking for support from the rest
of us.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, we're we're certlly going to support you as you
torch vehicles and stop freeway traffic.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Country would allow American nationals to fly the American flag
in the middle of the streets and light cars on fire.
What other country would allow that?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Oh well, I don't think we allow it. I mean flying
the American flag, you can. You can do anything you
want with the American flag.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Maybe in another country.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
The demonstrations, No, there's stock you know, you go to
Germany and you see the demonstration.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
No, other countries do stop that.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Uh it's you know, you have riots and uh, you
know the country stopped that with demonstrations.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
We just have more demonstrations than anyplace else.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
And it's a process of protesting. What's a true protest?
But that is guarded by the constitution.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, it's protest is absolutely guarded. Blocking freeways is not,
Torching vehicles is not.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
But what is a protest?

Speaker 5 (10:28):
Does it a peaceful protest?

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Are they do? They have to get a permit for it.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Well marches down the street. Yes, you have to get
you have to get a permit. But if you if
thousands of people line up on the sidewalk and they're protesting,
as long as they're not blocking people from going into
buildings or residents, that's considered a peaceful protest courts of
specific that's blocking.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
That's a touch of blocking traffic.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
This is when you gun your car and you plow
through a few of them. That sort of tells the story.
We'll be right back, all right, I just dropped my phone.
That's all KF I am six forty handle here. Good
morning on a Monday, June Night's could be a nice
day today too, As per the weather report given to

(11:19):
us by our weather girl, Amy, Amy.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Don't you like being called a weather girl?

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
You know that's that was what that used to be
back back. I think who was it that started here
in Los Angeles? Like the first quote weather girl.

Speaker 7 (11:33):
On the news, And because it used to be all
men who did it, it.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Did all men, and then they brought in women and
now it's for the most part women or guys who
like to wear dresses one or the other, and they're
all weather girls. Okay, let's do it more. Handle on
the news with Amy Neil and me.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
All right, the ineffectual California Governor Gavin Newsome accused President
Donald Trump of the act of a dictator for deploying
National Guard troops to quell violent protests in Los Angeles.
He accused Trump of inciting and provoking violence, creating mass chaos,
and militarizing the cities.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Not see nothing about yea.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
He it was who created the mass chaos. It wasn't
the demonstrators, right, It wasn't the protesters. They had nothing
to do with the chaos. It was just Newman who
Knewsom woke up in the morning and said, you know what,
let's just start creating mass chaos or the president did, well,
I've got nothing else to do this morning, So that's
kind of insane. But coming up at seven twenty, I

(12:41):
am going to talk about the legal aspects of the
president going outside of what the governor does. Usually it's
a governor who asks the president to nationalize the UH
to actually yeah, nationalized National Guard these businesses eight Guard.
But it's under the it's under the federal auspices and

(13:03):
the president. It's the president who makes the call, but
usually it's because the governor asks them. You can override that,
and that's what happened here. And I'll explain the legal companying.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Pardon because they're army, they're not army, and they are
these they are the Army National Guard.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, I understand, but under these circumstances they are not
considered army. And I'll explain the legality of that letter
because of that phrase, because under the uh Posecomatatas Act,
it is the only exception, or one of the few exceptions.
I know, it's a little bit wonky, but I'll explain it.
He brings a good point. This is the National Guard,

(13:44):
but it only is called, but it's only called when
the governor asks for it. And what governor is in
charge of our national army. None, So it's it's a
little complicated.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
What about the Marines at Pendleton being on scandby right.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Now, that is entirely different. They're on standby, but they're
not actively involved. You can have all the standby in
the world. For example, the army is allowed to provide
support in terms of national turmoil, but not engaging in
police action. It's pretty complicated, but I'll explain that at

(14:19):
seven twenty.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
So there, Neil, you stick your tug out of.

Speaker 4 (14:27):
Me, you wiener.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
Glendale's backed out of a deal.

Speaker 7 (14:32):
Officials announced last night that the city has terminated its
contract with Homeland Security and ICE to hold immigration detainees.
They said that they will no longer house federal immigration
detainees at the Glendale Police Department facility. So here's the
rub though, By offering local access, say Glendale officials, detainees

(14:55):
were given the due process proximity that is too often
lacking in more remote, privately owned detention centers. Nevertheless, despite
the transparency and safeguards, the city recognizes the public perception
of the ICE contract, no matter how limited or carefully managed,
no matter the good, has become divisive.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
So they're shutting it down, even though.

Speaker 7 (15:16):
They're saying that they're actually giving them the due process
that there.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Is no they're helping out illegal migrants who are being charged,
we're being detained, saying to the US government, Okay, we'll
give us a contract, will house them so for far
less money I'm assuming, certainly closer to their legal process.
So they're not way out for forefe in Land having

(15:40):
an impossibility to deal with going to hiring a.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Lawyer, going in front of a judge.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I mean, all of that which you're entitled to due process,
and what Glendale is saying, you know what, we don't
want to deal with it anymore because of public perception.

Speaker 5 (15:55):
That's the worst and most horrible thing I've heard all day.
They are stopping something that could be beneficial because of public.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
That is correct. That is exactly what's happening, the.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Most political garbage.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Yeah, yep, that's what's That's how crazy it is become.
And you didn't know, but Ice has contracts with various
organizations to house people because there is not enough room
and detention centers. They just cut a deal with Costco
for their back room and they get free samples on top.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Of that, they have a back room. I'm in.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
I don't know. I once who it was that I
was talking to.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Uh oh, I was once talking to someone who a
woman who worked in San Diego and they would house
illegal migrants, not on a massive scale, just when they
were caught and processing had to be done. And I
and I asked her she was part of the organization,
and I said, so, you know what do these people eat?
By the way, What do you feed them? You don't

(16:56):
have kitchens in these detention centers. What do you feed them?
And she said that's classified. I said, that's classified.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
What you feed them? Give me a break, don't give
me that crap.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
And she said, okay, burger King. We have a contract
with a burger King down the street for their croissants
in the morning to feed the illegal migrants.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Picked up.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
That was a fun interview.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Okay, that sounds delicious, it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's almost that's almost worth getting arrested for for illegal immigration. No,
they would provide their breakfast croissants.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Not bad. We'll be back, Amy, classified. I swear that's classified.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
All right, Amy, remember the interview.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Yeah, you're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf
I AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Has any doubts this is live radio. Do not for
a moment doubt this? Okay? All right? Hand here morning crew. Yes,
June ninth.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
And we continue would Handle on the news, Amy and
Neil Emmy.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
Israeli forces seized a Gaza bound aid boat and detained
Greta thunberg Uh and other activists who were on board
on Monday, enforcing a long standing blockade. Of course, and
this group said that they had they were kidnapped by
Israeli forces. They called it the Freedom Float Flotilla Coalition,

(18:31):
although Israeli's Foreign minister referred to it as the selfie yacht.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah, celebrities now kidnapped, I mean, give you a break.
They boarded it or then they went into it illegally
boarded it.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, well legally boarded it and now ac courting Israel.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
You know, it's I don't know if they did it
within Israeli waters or it would be off Gaza, but
the Israeli.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Kill international waters at the time.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
So they board it and granted should they have I
don't know, probably not. And this was AID and I
assume it's not weaponry, but Israel controls all AID. And
you don't bring a to uh Palestinians in Gaza.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
You haven't starve photo op.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, you have them starve because and no one's going
to get in the way of those starving people as
far as we're concerned.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Right, we haven't heard whether it was a rowboat or not,
because now you know it all those toxic fumes and
batter environment.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Well said, yeah, it's what is there Israel is doing,
I mean stopping aid literally AID, not weaponry aid.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
As soon as they bored.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I mean, I think it's okay for them to board
to make sure that arms are not going. But once
they determine arms are not going, okay, you're on your
way now humanitarian aid. And that's what I don't doubt
that was the case.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Yeah, but this is not like a massive amount of food.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
No, no, but it's some.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Some food.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Someone's going to have a real.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
But I'm just saying this was a photo op.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Okay, I don't disagree.

Speaker 7 (20:08):
People from nineteen countries cannot come in anymore, at least
mostly not. A new travel ban from the President kicked
in this morning at midnight. It fully bans travelers from
a dozen countries and partially restricts those from another seven.
Administration officials say they're targeting countries that have ties to terrorism,

(20:30):
lacks sufficient vetting for passports, and have high rates of
citizens who overstay their US VISUS.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I'm going to talk more about that because this has
a lot to do with what does the band mean
for the World Cup which is next year and the
twenty twenty eight Olympics and the ban you know, for example, Chadonians,
people from chad is one of the group, or is
that Chadden's.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
Chadians, Chadonians, Yeah, Chetdeville's Yeah. Yeah, Like that's the only
problem we have about having the Summer Olympics in twenty
twenty years.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
What to call we are not.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Ready is what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
That's correct, what to call them? Yes?

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
Terry Moran, a senior national correspondent for ABC News, has
been suspended because social media never fails. Put a social
media post about Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump's Deputy chief
of Staff for policy. He said on x a man

(21:38):
who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred, and
then referred to Trump as a world class hater.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, you can't do that as a national news correspondent.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Isn't just a supposedly objective national courts.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Particularly objective, And he was rightly suspended. If you're going
to be a news correspondent for a legitimate and I'll
use the word legitimate, fairly objective news operation, no, you
and I can rant about almost anything. Amy is not
allowed to give her and shouldn't give her opinions about

(22:15):
the President and Democrats and Republicans. She just can't do
it because she is a newsperson, and that's exactly what
Terry Moran is. National correspondent. Cannot do that. Suspension works.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I'm okay with that.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
When ABC News starts to sound like this garbage we
do for an hour, that's the problem.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
Yeah, the price of politics could be your life. A
presidential candidate in Colombia is in intensive care. He was
shot three times, two times in the head at a
campaign event in the capital city of Bogata. He was
addressing supporters at a park when he was shot. It's

(22:55):
Miguel Eribe Turbe and he's arrested. A fifteen year old
suspect at the scene.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
Oh hell, arive was rushed.

Speaker 7 (23:06):
To the hospital. He had surgery and he's still in
extremely serious.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
How old was the young young man who shot at
President well candidate at that time, former President Trump, who
could have been another inch and President Trump would have
been dead.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
I don't recall he was young.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
He was early twenties, I believe.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, all right, let's go ahead and take a break
and we'll come back and finish up Handle on the
news on this Monday morning. Yeah, bye, Bill Handle, Yet
he is a Monday morning, June ninth, we finished handle
on the news on this lovely morning with Amy and
Neil and Me.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Sometimes, Hey, do you want a massive four foot long,
ten pounds plus lizard running around that's not supposed to.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Be there, Liz, I thought you were talking about you,
oh you know starting I thought you were bragging.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Uh No, an invasive creature.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
It's a native to South America, has.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Been spotted in northern California in a park, prompting a
search of rangers and the like. Hikers found this Argentinian
black and white tigu. It's pretty, but apparently it eats
bird eggs, small birds, small lizards, various small mammals and invertebrates.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Toddlers.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, no, actually don't want this thing around.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Apparently they're pretty docile and they don't they won't harm people,
but they're not supposed to be here, so.

Speaker 6 (24:47):
They can be up to four feet long.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Yeah, that's a hell of I was like, I don't
know what I would do if I came. You know,
I used to love lizards and snakes as a kid,
but you come across a four foot long lizard.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, it's something, although and the problem is invasive. It'd
be great, but it eats what's indigenous to us without it,
and it shouldn't be here.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
So it really screws up the ecology.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Damn colonizers, damn right.

Speaker 7 (25:21):
The gentrification of the parks. Okay, Yeah, Yang wants to
play ball with Elon. Remember Andrew Yang he wanted to
do the guaranteed income he run for president. Well, he
said he has reached out to Elon Musk and wants
to collaborate to create a new political party. He says
he believes the Tesla CEO has what it takes to

(25:42):
form a new faction that propels America's strongest leaders. He
says he's been thinking about it, wanting to do it
for a long time, and says we have been of
the opinion that America needs a new political party for
years now.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, we are a two party system, you know.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
In the last the last time, there's only been one
legitimate third party that has not legitimate in terms of
its own legitimacy, but in terms of.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
As a political force.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Once it's happened in the United States, and that was
nineteen twelve with.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
The Bull Moose Party with Theodore Roosevelt.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Now there's been a couple of them. George Wallace as
a third party. If you remember him when he ran
for president, got nineteen percent of the vote, which is
pretty impressive. But ain't gonna happen. It just isn't happen.
We just don't have that system in the United States.
It is a two party system. That's what it is,
and certainly that's the way it's going to remain in
our lifetime.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
And that's why it has such a wide spectrum. Now
on both parties. You know, you have wing nuts on
the far left and you have the wing nuts on
the right.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
But how do they then combine to make it a
legitimate third party. What happened was in nineteen twelve of
the Bull Moose Party, and at the convention it was
split between William Howard Taff the president who was running
for a second term. You had Teddy Roosevelt who came

(27:08):
back to run for president, split.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
The vote right down the middle.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
So Woodrow Wilson comes in and just with a landslide,
comes in and wins.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
There you go a.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Little bit of history there.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I thought I'd throw it at you.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
I like it, well, all right.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has signed a roughly fourteen
billion dollar budget for fiscal year of twenty five and
twenty twenty six. This, you know, they've been going back
and forth with the city council and everything else because
we're a million or a billion dollars in the hole, and.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
Probably a little bit more than that after the protests.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Yeah you think, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Yeah, I'm going to do more about this at seven thirty.
Oh no, no, I'm doing seven to fifty. I'm going
to talk about the budget and how Karen Bass is
trying to put it together but it becomes insurmountable.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
I'm just worried about how, you know, how bad for
the environment those cars burning and the way moos burning
and is that gonna is the ozone or the bezone.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, I don't think they're that. With five cars burned,
do I have that right?

Speaker 6 (28:18):
There were? Yes, five were set on set on fire.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
You never know what five cars on fire does? No,
it is It is lithium batteries and they just don't
stop burning.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Granted, you don't believe that. You don't believe in global warming?
Do you?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Dare you?

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I don't, but yeah, I don't care about me fire.
I'm going to be shitzing and it's ninety degrees out.

Speaker 7 (28:42):

bad eggs.
