The family, every part of the family wanted some of
the dead ashes or some of the ashes, and one
of the sister had them all and she said, I
don't know what to do. They're threatening lawsuits. I don't

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Good morning everybody. It's a us.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Amy would say, a miserable Monday, August eleventh.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We have a new description of.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Monday, and we have give Amy the credit for that one.
So the only thing we have left is figuring out
what Thursday is. Miserable Monday, Taco Tuesdayday, Wednesday, foody Friday.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Oh, somebody sent me a note on Instagram too, with
a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You can't remember what can you remember? What the suggestion was?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
To find it?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
All right? All right, big deal, fair enough, All right, morning, Amy.
There you are with your Dodgers. It's not a jersey,
it's like a T shirt thing, right, Yeah, we're Nike.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, you got it, all right, And.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There con O morning, Cono, good morning, and there is
a Neil good morning, but you can't hear it Neil,
all right, well he gets that together. It's a glitch
city coming in. Is that me that's the problem here?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
No, we hear you fun okay, so.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's Neil all right, fair enough. Well he's trying to
figure that out. Will Cole Schreiber, good morning, Good morning, sir,
and and producer extraordinaire. Yes, okay, and I already forgot
whether or not. I asked Kno if he was doing
okay this morning. No, you didn't, but I'm doing okay.
We got a little early yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Because your kid or what Neil, are you bet? Are
you on?
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Now?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah? Okay? Good? Figured it out? All right.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I want to make a point here before we start
our program today, and that is that we announced that
there is going to be a big announcement today, right,
and that was the promo, and Neil, making fun of me, said,
it's just because we couldn't figure out anything to say
(02:51):
or to announce, because we always do a promo, as
you know, for the next.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Day, which is true, right, which is what true?
Speaker 6 (02:58):
The promo that you didn't know what you were talking
about today, which is why you did it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Neil, Neil, let me tell you something. Okay, right now
here we go that that's basically correct, went in doubt,
just announce a big announcement, get everybody hyped up so
they tune in. Now, did everybody now leave the show?
I did I know you did. I could hear it.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Okay, did we get in trouble or something? Can we
get in trouble? Did we for? What for announcing that
we had an announcement without having an announcement?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Why would we? Why you bring it up? I just
thought i'd may bring it out because.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I was listening to the promo as I was preparing
the show. We don't get we don't get in trouble
if we all announced simultaneously that we picked up STDs
at the same KFI event, all right, we just don't
get in trouble.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
No, we didn't get in trouble because once again I
swooped in and corrected you live on the air and said,
this is bull crap.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You're welcome. Okay.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Watch Anne's face and when it looks displeased, I jump in.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Right, does anybody had notes that watch football at all
and the end had to no, that's right. And you
did two days right back to back games that rat
football is back. Okay, so you worked last night.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I worked yesterday and the day but okay.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yesterday was a day thing, right, Okay, okay, so that's
not bad. And I know sometimes you work till midnight
on concerts and then you jump in the car and
you sleep on the way over here because you get
no sleep.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I really do.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Actually, does anybody get excited about these exhibition games?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And why do they use the football?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
The class A football players are the most expensive or
the best football players.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They normally don't. Those guys are all in their street
clothes on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, I would think, but aren't they doing Aren't they
using their premier players in the exhibition games? I didn't watch.
I generally don't watch exhibition games. Okay, nope, Well I'll
become a football fan. So here we go. All right,
anything new to add before we start?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I have a quick story bill that I think you
might appreciate. So on Saturday, we did a live program
m HM, and two listeners came up, husband and wife.
The wife was from Colombia born and raised, came here,
did not speak English, listens to the Bill Handle show
(05:38):
every day to learn English. Driving down downtown Los Angeles
with her husband, who's Latino but born here, there was
a building on fire and she points and she goes
Jewish likening and her husband goes, no, no, no, no, no,
you can't say that. That is not okay. And and
(06:02):
she learned that from you.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, no, I know that. And he's like, honey, no,
that's not okay. That's not what it's called. Yes it
is because of you. Yes it is. And for those
of you that don't know what Jewish lightning is, it is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It came out of the It came out of the
clothing business in US schmatawata being rags in Yiddish, and
so out of that people that were in the clothing business,
that were in the textile business. It is very vultiple business,
very volatile business. So in business was way down. People
(06:35):
were going to lose their shirts. All of a sudden,
They're building caught on fire. And that was called Jewish
lightning because a vast, vast majority of the owners of
those buildings were Jewish.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
And I would refer to it as Jewish lightning.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And then I had the Anti Defamation League come in
and have a meeting with me. The Anti Defamation League
works with anti it works against anti Semitism, et cetera.
And they came in and demanded that I stopped doing that.
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know? You further that myth?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And I said, tell you what, why don't we pull
the records of insurance claims in the last five years
on fires in those buildings and see how many Jewish
names are on those claims? Well, at least downplay it,
would you, Bill? Please don't talk so much of it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
In the meeting. They were very lovely people, and they
were very reasonable.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
They're just they were. They understood your humor. But here's
a case in point. What humor tell me is not
fash I understand. So you know what, I thought, maybe
there should be a disclaimer. Please do not use the
bill handle shows. Oh no, no, English your second language. Absolutely,
absolutely not, absolutely not. That's what makes the show so
(07:48):
wonderful when people do that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Silvano of White House, the White House Restaurant, told me
that some lady ordered Escargo because she heard me talking
about it. Having never had scargo. Did you, all of
us know it was a huge mistake by one and all. Okay,
let's do it, guys, it's time for handle on the news,
(08:10):
Amy King, Nilsavadra and me late story. Well, today it's
a face off to determine whether the president violated a
one and forty seven year old law when he deployed
the National Guard here in Los Angeles to quell the
(08:33):
I guess, the invasion, the overwhelming fear that America was
to be overthrown by the demonstrators. And now he had federalized,
deployed four thousand National Guard, and he brought in Marines,
and he invoked the law that allows president to federalize
(08:56):
National Guard if there is actual or threatened rebellion or
invasion of the country and when regular forces cannot enforce
US law, and of course are if they go to court,
and we'll see what the court has to say.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
How can you prove that it didn't help. No, it's
it's not a question of helping.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
It's a question of declaring whether or not there really
was an invasion or rebellion, and that's going to be
up to the courts. Now. The president does have a
lot of leeway in declaring that unless it is completely insane,
and will the court view a demonstration of the demonstration
in terms of rebellion is completely insane?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I mean I had extrapolated and hyper hyperbolically made a
statement that let's say there were a dozen protesters and
the president brought out the national gardens, that it was
a rebellion or an invasion, that is ludicrous. If there
were one hundred thousand people that were attacking federal buildings,
(09:58):
that is no one's going to argue that that's not
reasonable for the president to do that.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
It's just where is that line? Where is that line with.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
The president getting a lot of leeway because the law
allows the president to make that decision and the courts
don't like to overrule what is considered it an administrative decision.
And that's what this is. All these lawsuits, I mean,
it doesn't stop. Well, we got four years of these
lawsuits coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Emre, like thirty seven already. Can you imagine how many
there's going to be after four years.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It's going to be insane.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Was it a case of mistaken identity?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Israel's military said it killed a hamas Sell leader who
was just posing as an Al Jazeera journalist. It was
part of an airstrike on Sunday. Advocates say that the
guy was targeted for his frontline reporting of the war
in Gaza. He was among a group of four Al
Jazeera journalists and assistants who were killed in the airstrike
(11:00):
on a tent near Shifa Hospital in eastern Gaza City.
The guy was, according to the Israeli military, the head
of a Hamas cell and was responsible for advancing rocket
attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Who do you believe at this point, I don't know.
I think both sides are lying through their teeth, is
what I think is happening. And I love Netanyahu's saying, oh,
there is no starvation. Someone just told me that, A
very pro Israeli person said, you know, that's all fake.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I go, how do you fake.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Hundreds of thousands of people who have been moved and
the rush and people dying of malnutrition?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
What fake news?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And at the same time, how do you well that's
a fake I mean, where is Hamas? When they argue
they are embedded, how many firefights are out there in
open ground?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Of course they're embedded.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So I.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It's just horrible. What did we know? I mean, can't
you see whether food is going in or out? Of
course you can't. Can you fish?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You can because it's just a political position that is
for the far right. All the problem that he has
to say, there is no starvation, we are being attacked.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
We are not killing civilians, I mean just one or not.
It's just this crapple.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And in the meantime you've got Hamas that is not
cutting loose of the hostages, and they're prepared to let
every single palaced Indian in that country die or in
that area die.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I said, great, both sides. How's that for coming to
the table. Oh, right, as you've been.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Hearing Amy King talk about this morning Granada Hills Port
of Ranch, all of the problems they've been having there
with their water service, the LADWP has fixed. It's restored
water service through all the to all the customers out
there impacted by that. So right now you can use
the tap water, take showers, flush toilets, you know, landscape
(13:03):
and all that stuff. But if you're going to use
it for consumption, you have to boil the water. Still
now they're talking about this being for days still, so
until you get that clearance, you still have to boil
the water.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Unless you happen to have huh ready for this. You
don't know that though, but I'm guessing you know what.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You're right, it's a fact that I don't know, but
I'm guessing that.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah. I'm not even gonna mention the name of the company, Okay, life.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Source, but I am going to say that I'm willing
to guess that it would work at this point we
have and we have to now call the Life Source
folks and say if they have a life Source system
to work out there, I would have to guess. And
by the way, if it doesn't work out there, we
don't bring it up again. Okay, we just let it
(13:56):
sink into oblivion.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Can we call Mondays? And not amused? Mondays? That also?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
That's what I'm getting. That's the vibe that I'm biking
up over there.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Here is a story close to home, Amy's we talk
about it all morning.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, and if you've listened to KFI over the last
three or four days at all, you probably have heard
that our very own stuff. Fushe Stefan, who is the
technical director for both Tim Conway Jr.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
And later with mo Kelly was in a.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Horrific car crash on the one oh five on Thursday,
and they found out about it because he didn't show
up for work, which is not like push and they
didn't know for eight hours where he was that it
was him because his id burned up in the car
crash on the one oh five, and his mom only
(14:47):
found him by calling all the hospitals, Hey.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Do you have somebody in there? You have my son there?
Speaker 6 (14:53):
And you know what's crazy, Amy, as I was talking
to Sharon Bellio and they were using all these resources
at the station Angel Martinez looking for accidents that took place,
you know, kind of on the route. They were all
working together along with his mother to kind of narrow
and triangulate to see where he might be. Yea, And
(15:17):
I remember her saying, there's two accidents in that area
and one the car rolled over and was on fire.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
And I'm like, geez, I hope that wasn't the one.
And they found out that was the one. Did you
see the video of that car on fold? Yeah? Crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
If it weren't for the good Samaritans that pulled him
out of the car, he would have been completely in centered.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Tim found one of them, and he's going to be
on Tim Conway Junior tonight to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, that's right. At four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, I got a text from Tim explaining what happened.
We're telling me what happened.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I went, Yeah, the good news is that Fush is
going to be okay.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
He's he's up and he's you know, he's conscious, and
he got a shower yesterday. He's got some surgery scheduled.
It's its third surgery is scheduled for today because his
arm was outside the vehicle and so his arm was
just well made.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
They call it. They call it de gloved, which basically means.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
That, oh, there's nothing there.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
But they're doing skin grafts and stuff to put that back.
And now they need to check and make sure the
tendons are where they're supposed to be and they've got
blood float. But so he's he's got a long road ahead,
but he's he's doing well good.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Oh all right Trump, as you heard Amy say earlier
as well, around seven am our time, Amy, Yep, there's
going to be a news conference with Trump. Obviously, he's
going balls to the wall with protecting what he says
protecting Washington, d C. In this beautiful capital that has
(16:51):
been left to rot. In his eyes, he says, the homeless.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Have to move out immediately.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
We will give you places to stay, but far from
the capitol. The criminals, you don't have to move out.
We're going to put you in jail where you belong.
Even though the Metropolitan Police Department there in Washington says
overall crime in DC has decreased by seven percent, which
is probably not true. Since last year violent crime down
(17:21):
twenty six percent and property crime reduced by five percent,
you have him saying essentially we're just going to stop
violent crime.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Indeed, yeah, I mean, and the crime is out of control.
I mean, the man does.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Let's say he gets a little hyperbolic at times, for example,
inheriting the most crime ridden administration in the history of
the United States, the worst economy in the history of
the United States.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You know, there's a little exaggeration there. Do you not
like Trump because you guys are so similar?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, that's true. I don't like Trump because we are
so similar. The problem is, I know, just said, hey,
I know here here is the difference. I've got a
group of people in the morning that call me on
it every morning who calls Trump on it around him?
(18:17):
That's correctly, that is my point. And unfortunately I can't
fire you guys because you're all under contract.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
But I really admired Trump for being able to do that.
I'm not fire away, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh, okay, all right, Neil, all right, we are not
going to have Ann and Neil tomorrow morning with us.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
But that's okay. I don't mind, I don't mind, all right.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
COVID made him do it. The guy who.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Opened fire at a CDC campus late Friday blamed COVID
actually the vaccine for making him sick and depressed.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
The guy's apparently been having issues since he got the
vaccine and had become increasingly fixated on the COVID nineteen
vaccine as a source of his problems and grievances.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Hey, have we had these mass shootings?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I think anybody over four people either injured or kill
is considered a mass shooting. Doesn't it seem like every
day the last couple of weeks there is one.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Am I missing something here?
Speaker 6 (19:26):
No, it has seemed that there's I think there's been
at least three that come to mind.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Maybe four last week. Yeah, it has two weeks. Yeah,
I mean it's really crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And this is one of those here's and this is
one of those where they knew this guy had a
mental problem. He had been going up and down the
street talking about vaccine conspiracy, so people knew he had
a real problem. Now what do you do with that?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
There are a lot him head of the health department.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, good point, excellent, excellent way of talking of describing
that one.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
All right, So Netanyaho is defending his decisions. He obviously
the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netting Yah who he is
talking that even though people were concerned about his earlier statements,
his military offensive in Gaza is even more sweeping than
he previously announced, it seems. And his statement really that
(20:29):
puts it in a nutshell, says he has no choice
but to finish the job and to complete the defeat
of Hamas.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, that's two months.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
We've been going through all this, watching the horrors that
are going on.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And he's talking about occupying Gaza Israel as an occupying force.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Boy, that's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Well, when you're sitting in an occupy in a population
that effectively is determined to get you out. Now we
have occupied before. We occupy Germany, for example, we occupied
Japan after World War Two, but they were ready. I mean,
they open arms, come on and occupy us. A little
(21:09):
bit different in Gaza.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
And it's too bad because they're in the right to
defend themselves. Israel's in the right to defend themselves.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Now the question right understood? Now here is an argument. Okay,
Israel came back and kicked the crap out of Kamas
and certainly made the Palestinian people suffer, and boy, the
payback was big. Twelve hundred Israelis or killed so far,
sixty thousand Palestinian has been killed, about third of them militants,
(21:36):
which really doesn't count. They're not really people. But you're
talking about, you know, thousands, tens of thousands of men
and women, children who are innocent. Don't you think at
this point a lot of people has said it. Hamas
is basically decimated. There ain't much left of Kamas. Are
they going to do this again? Considering the kind of
(21:57):
defense Israel now knows to put up. They figured the
defense was a complete failure and heads did roll.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
So does Hamas have the ability to do this again?
I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
And they haven't won the war in marketing though, Waite Hamas.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
No, Israel has lost the wars, not so much. Hamas
has won the war. That's fair, that's fair. But there
was early on. People didn't even mention October seven.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Actually they did early on, and then it faded and
you had all these protests, right, they didn't even mention.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
No, this war started October eighth.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
As far as a good part of the world is concerned,
and certainly the Palestinian those and that are on the
Palestinian side, nothing happened before October eighth when Israel woke
up and said, oh, let's do this, let's invade and
kick the crap out of Gaza. So he's nuts. He
is nuts, and I believe he's doing all this just
(22:58):
to stay in power. It's even worse. Rights, do one
more and we will take a break.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Ironic that a fire knocked out nine to one one.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Redondo Beach's nine one system was kicked offline for a
while on Sunday yesterday because of a fire at an
AT and T communications center. A trash fire spread to
the AT AT and T facility in Gardena and burned
for about five hours. The fire spread to a three
(23:29):
hundred to two hundred square foot communications building that had
lead acid batteries stored in it, so they had to
call out the hazmat team. People were told to shelter
in place. Nine to one one was knocked out, but
nine to one one service apparently has been restored.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Well that's good news.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So you now can call nine one one so they
can ignore you, so you can be put on hold
for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So it all works out very well. At least they'll
be a good connection.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Kind of getting bored with these children being eaten by
by mountain right.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Well, I thought at first I was. I took a
double take this morning. Another child bitten by an animal,
in this particular cases outside of a Malibu home this
past Sunday, just yesterday, eleven year old was playing outside
actually possibly feeding chickens, and a mountain lion came and
(24:20):
bit them, bit him on the arm apparently, But when
it started, he grabbed the child by the head and
then started running. Crowds of people that were there started
to scare him and all that.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
But why didn't he go after the chickens? Maybe he
thought he was the biggest of the chicken.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Maybe he did, but they you know, you had fish
and wildlife out there, and they found the animal.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And him because.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It's because it's illegal, of course to ethanize mountain lions
or protected, they ethanized the kid instead.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
He was so badly hurting.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
But we don't we actually don't know how bad things are.
But he was taking in the It's no fun. I
have bobcats in my neighborhood. Eh, they're not you know,
they don't attack anybody.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And certainly what else we have, Oh I should clif
by some raccoons?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
What I should clarify.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Actually the crowd scaring the animal was last year of
five year old was attacked by a mountain lion in
Malibu Creek State Park and then there was an OHI trail.
It's just these things do happen because we lived near wildlife,
but still scary.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Millions are getting more than drenched. More than ten million
people across the Midwest are under flood alerts as heavy
rainfall continues to pound parts of Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.
Flash flooding in Milwaukee forced the Wisconsin State Fair to
cancel it's last day. Fourteen and a half inches of
rain fell in twenty four hours in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Now you've been reporting on the news, Amy for a
very long time. Yes, actually, way way long a time. Actually, yes,
you're welcome. It used to be where one inch of
rain was considered a monumental amount of rain. That would
be big news. One inch of rain. I remember that.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Maybe you think an inch of rain was a lot.
I don't think it's I think it was an inch.
But when it's an inch an hour for a long
period of.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Time, No, I'm talking about years and years ago when
rain in was a pretty Yeah, inch was that was
reportable an inch of rain.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Go with it. When it comes to inches.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
He kind of all right, thank you very much. But
it's now it's just rain. Now it's yeah, thank you.
Now that's the average, isn't it six inches?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Depending on where you live.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Sometimes it's four inches the.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Amount of rain.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Now it's feet per per day. I mean, it's just
it's a big deal. And of course this much rain,
just that the flooding is just is catastrophic.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
So here's my question, because this is like what a
monsoon would be, right, but it's happening in the Midwest
where they didn't used to get those did like were
monsoonal rains like in the tropics and stuff Here's that
so did the weather patterns shift.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I think there's just.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Weather has become more it's been exacerbated that it's still
rains in the Midwest, it's just far worse and the
droughts here.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Are longer and they are hotter. I mean it just
the weather.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
The climate just is changing, exacerbating it's getting It's not
changing in terms of where it's raining.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I don't think. I think it's sort of still in
the same area. Maybe not. Maybe it's expanded.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Maybe it has.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Cono and I bought a bunch of wood and as
soon as we find out what a cubit is, we're
going to build an arc. We got this bro. We
got this bro, all right. If you remember backing, whether
they twenty twelve or something like that, you had Walmart
having they were sued for overcharging customers back then, Well
it happened again. State officials announced Friday this past Friday
(28:18):
at Walmart, which is massive. I mean they have two
hundred and eighty stores just here in California. They're going
to pay five point six million, which is couch change
to settle a consumer protection lawsuit. So they say they
were overcharging. What they were doing was the scanned price
and weight on things like produce or baked goods or
(28:41):
these types of things were not the same, so the
weight was wrong. So people were being overcharged. But I
don't see how five point six million is a penalty
to No.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
No, it's not it's like a two dollars fine for us. No,
it's less mean and it means absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
This means something. How's this first statistic? Every eight minutes
for five years. I'll let you do the math. Well,
I tell you what that is. Uber got reports of
sexual assault or sexual misconduct in the US nearly every
eight minutes between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty two. Of course,
uber is promoted itself as one of the safest transportation options.
(29:24):
But these newly unsealed records, which are part of a
large scale lawsuit against the company, show that Uber logged
four hundred thousand, one hundred and eighty one reports of
sexual assault or misconduct in a five year span.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Now, what I'm going to do is, I'm doing this
story at seven fifty and then I'm going to give
you some stats, some of which are horrific going this
way in terms of the number of complaints, and some
of them defending uber in terms of the same stats.
And I'll share that with you at seven fifty, because
(29:59):
that real is a fascinating story.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
All right.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
One more almost a million more deaths than births recorded
in Japan last year, and it's like going on for
sixteen years, the sixteenth consecutive year of population decline there.
They've been trying all kinds of things, but the reality
is they have what they call a quite emergency of
Japan's aging population, and the fact that they anything they
(30:29):
do to make the population grow is not happening. I
think they're at the point where they're looking to bring
in more Catholics, Mormons, and Latinos.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
So now if they're doing anything, because it's not just
a statistic when you have a declining population, it's that
there aren't enough people coming in to support the old people,
and so all of a sudden, you have more old people,
fewer people paying for the old people, because that's how
they support the elderly. You have to have a population
(30:59):
based at work that creates taxes, et cetera. And in Japan,
they live forever and population is going way down. So
that's not good news.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
No, we understand it. It takes five of us to
support you every morning.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Every morning.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And on top of that, even we have a birth
rate that is not keeping up. But we have immigration,
and we're really and we do. We used to have immigration.
We still do to some extent. And Japan they don't
leant many people in to live. I mean, you talk
about a a homogeneous society. I'll even say racist. They
(31:38):
just don't want people in the door. Not interested. Well,
they're gonna have to change their view and their policies
fairly quickly. Okay, KFI am sixty.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
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 and.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
The family, every part of the family wanted some of
the dead ashes or some of the ashes, and one
of the sister had them all and she said, I
don't know what to do. They're threatening lawsuits. I don't
like them, so you know what do I do?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Said, do you have a fireplace? Give them all the
all the ashes.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
They want, and now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Good morning everybody. It's a us.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Amy would say, a miserable Monday, August eleventh.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
We have a new description of.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Monday, and we have give Amy the credit for that one.
So the only thing we have left is figuring out
what Thursday is. Miserable Monday, Taco Tuesdayday, Wednesday, foody Friday.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Oh, somebody sent me a note on Instagram too, with
a suggestion.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
You can't remember what can you remember? What the suggestion was?
Speaker 5 (01:16):
To find it?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
All right? All right, big deal, fair enough, All right, morning, Amy.
There you are with your Dodgers. It's not a jersey,
it's like a T shirt thing, right, Yeah, we're Nike.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Swoosh on it.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Just do it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, you got it, all right, And.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There con O morning, Cono, good morning, and there is
a Neil good morning, but you can't hear it Neil,
all right, well he gets that together. It's a glitch
city coming in. Is that me that's the problem here?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
No, we hear you fun okay, so.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's Neil all right, fair enough. Well he's trying to
figure that out. Will Cole Schreiber, good morning, Good morning, sir,
and and producer extraordinaire. Yes, okay, and I already forgot
whether or not. I asked Kno if he was doing
okay this morning. No, you didn't, but I'm doing okay.
We got a little early yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Because your kid or what Neil, are you bet? Are
you on?
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Now?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah? Okay? Good? Figured it out? All right.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I want to make a point here before we start
our program today, and that is that we announced that
there is going to be a big announcement today, right,
and that was the promo, and Neil, making fun of me, said,
it's just because we couldn't figure out anything to say
(02:51):
or to announce, because we always do a promo, as
you know, for the next.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Day, which is true, right, which is what true?
Speaker 6 (02:58):
The promo that you didn't know what you were talking
about today, which is why you did it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Neil, Neil, let me tell you something. Okay, right now
here we go that that's basically correct, went in doubt,
just announce a big announcement, get everybody hyped up so
they tune in. Now, did everybody now leave the show?
I did I know you did. I could hear it.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Okay, did we get in trouble or something? Can we
get in trouble? Did we for? What for announcing that
we had an announcement without having an announcement?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Why would we? Why you bring it up? I just
thought i'd may bring it out because.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I was listening to the promo as I was preparing
the show. We don't get we don't get in trouble
if we all announced simultaneously that we picked up STDs
at the same KFI event, all right, we just don't
get in trouble.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
No, we didn't get in trouble because once again I
swooped in and corrected you live on the air and said,
this is bull crap.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
You're welcome. Okay.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
Watch Anne's face and when it looks displeased, I jump in.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Right, does anybody had notes that watch football at all
and the end had to no, that's right. And you
did two days right back to back games that rat
football is back. Okay, so you worked last night.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
I worked yesterday and the day but okay.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yesterday was a day thing, right, Okay, okay, so that's
not bad. And I know sometimes you work till midnight
on concerts and then you jump in the car and
you sleep on the way over here because you get
no sleep.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I really do.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Actually, does anybody get excited about these exhibition games?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
And why do they use the football?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
The class A football players are the most expensive or
the best football players.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
They normally don't. Those guys are all in their street
clothes on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, I would think, but aren't they doing Aren't they
using their premier players in the exhibition games? I didn't watch.
I generally don't watch exhibition games. Okay, nope, Well I'll
become a football fan. So here we go. All right,
anything new to add before we start?
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
I have a quick story bill that I think you
might appreciate. So on Saturday, we did a live program
m HM, and two listeners came up, husband and wife.
The wife was from Colombia born and raised, came here,
did not speak English, listens to the Bill Handle show
(05:38):
every day to learn English. Driving down downtown Los Angeles
with her husband, who's Latino but born here, there was
a building on fire and she points and she goes
Jewish likening and her husband goes, no, no, no, no, no,
you can't say that. That is not okay. And and
(06:02):
she learned that from you.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yeah, no, I know that. And he's like, honey, no,
that's not okay. That's not what it's called. Yes it
is because of you. Yes it is. And for those
of you that don't know what Jewish lightning is, it is.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
It came out of the It came out of the
clothing business in US schmatawata being rags in Yiddish, and
so out of that people that were in the clothing business,
that were in the textile business. It is very vultiple business,
very volatile business. So in business was way down. People
(06:35):
were going to lose their shirts. All of a sudden,
They're building caught on fire. And that was called Jewish
lightning because a vast, vast majority of the owners of
those buildings were Jewish.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
And I would refer to it as Jewish lightning.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And then I had the Anti Defamation League come in
and have a meeting with me. The Anti Defamation League
works with anti it works against anti Semitism, et cetera.
And they came in and demanded that I stopped doing that.
How dare you?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
You know? You further that myth?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And I said, tell you what, why don't we pull
the records of insurance claims in the last five years
on fires in those buildings and see how many Jewish
names are on those claims? Well, at least downplay it,
would you, Bill? Please don't talk so much of it.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
In the meeting. They were very lovely people, and they
were very reasonable.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
They're just they were. They understood your humor. But here's
a case in point. What humor tell me is not
fash I understand. So you know what, I thought, maybe
there should be a disclaimer. Please do not use the
bill handle shows. Oh no, no, English your second language. Absolutely,
absolutely not, absolutely not. That's what makes the show so
(07:48):
wonderful when people do that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Silvano of White House, the White House Restaurant, told me
that some lady ordered Escargo because she heard me talking
about it. Having never had scargo. Did you, all of
us know it was a huge mistake by one and all. Okay,
let's do it, guys, it's time for handle on the news,
(08:10):
Amy King, Nilsavadra and me late story. Well, today it's
a face off to determine whether the president violated a
one and forty seven year old law when he deployed
the National Guard here in Los Angeles to quell the
(08:33):
I guess, the invasion, the overwhelming fear that America was
to be overthrown by the demonstrators. And now he had federalized,
deployed four thousand National Guard, and he brought in Marines,
and he invoked the law that allows president to federalize
(08:56):
National Guard if there is actual or threatened rebellion or
invasion of the country and when regular forces cannot enforce
US law, and of course are if they go to court,
and we'll see what the court has to say.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
How can you prove that it didn't help. No, it's
it's not a question of helping.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
It's a question of declaring whether or not there really
was an invasion or rebellion, and that's going to be
up to the courts. Now. The president does have a
lot of leeway in declaring that unless it is completely insane,
and will the court view a demonstration of the demonstration
in terms of rebellion is completely insane?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I mean I had extrapolated and hyper hyperbolically made a
statement that let's say there were a dozen protesters and
the president brought out the national gardens, that it was
a rebellion or an invasion, that is ludicrous. If there
were one hundred thousand people that were attacking federal buildings,
(09:58):
that is no one's going to argue that that's not
reasonable for the president to do that.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
It's just where is that line? Where is that line with.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
The president getting a lot of leeway because the law
allows the president to make that decision and the courts
don't like to overrule what is considered it an administrative decision.
And that's what this is. All these lawsuits, I mean,
it doesn't stop. Well, we got four years of these
lawsuits coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Emre, like thirty seven already. Can you imagine how many
there's going to be after four years.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It's going to be insane.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Was it a case of mistaken identity?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Israel's military said it killed a hamas Sell leader who
was just posing as an Al Jazeera journalist. It was
part of an airstrike on Sunday. Advocates say that the
guy was targeted for his frontline reporting of the war
in Gaza. He was among a group of four Al
Jazeera journalists and assistants who were killed in the airstrike
(11:00):
on a tent near Shifa Hospital in eastern Gaza City.
The guy was, according to the Israeli military, the head
of a Hamas cell and was responsible for advancing rocket
attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Who do you believe at this point, I don't know.
I think both sides are lying through their teeth, is
what I think is happening. And I love Netanyahu's saying, oh,
there is no starvation. Someone just told me that, A
very pro Israeli person said, you know, that's all fake.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
I go, how do you fake.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Hundreds of thousands of people who have been moved and
the rush and people dying of malnutrition?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
What fake news?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And at the same time, how do you well that's
a fake I mean, where is Hamas? When they argue
they are embedded, how many firefights are out there in
open ground?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Of course they're embedded.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So I.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
It's just horrible. What did we know? I mean, can't
you see whether food is going in or out? Of
course you can't. Can you fish?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
You can because it's just a political position that is
for the far right. All the problem that he has
to say, there is no starvation, we are being attacked.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
We are not killing civilians, I mean just one or not.
It's just this crapple.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And in the meantime you've got Hamas that is not
cutting loose of the hostages, and they're prepared to let
every single palaced Indian in that country die or in
that area die.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I said, great, both sides. How's that for coming to
the table. Oh, right, as you've been.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Hearing Amy King talk about this morning Granada Hills Port
of Ranch, all of the problems they've been having there
with their water service, the LADWP has fixed. It's restored
water service through all the to all the customers out
there impacted by that. So right now you can use
the tap water, take showers, flush toilets, you know, landscape
(13:03):
and all that stuff. But if you're going to use
it for consumption, you have to boil the water. Still
now they're talking about this being for days still, so
until you get that clearance, you still have to boil
the water.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Unless you happen to have huh ready for this. You
don't know that though, but I'm guessing you know what.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You're right, it's a fact that I don't know, but
I'm guessing that.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah. I'm not even gonna mention the name of the company, Okay, life.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Source, but I am going to say that I'm willing
to guess that it would work at this point we
have and we have to now call the Life Source
folks and say if they have a life Source system
to work out there, I would have to guess. And
by the way, if it doesn't work out there, we
don't bring it up again. Okay, we just let it
(13:56):
sink into oblivion.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Can we call Mondays? And not amused? Mondays? That also?
Speaker 6 (14:02):
That's what I'm getting. That's the vibe that I'm biking
up over there.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Here is a story close to home, Amy's we talk
about it all morning.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, and if you've listened to KFI over the last
three or four days at all, you probably have heard
that our very own stuff. Fushe Stefan, who is the
technical director for both Tim Conway Jr.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
And later with mo Kelly was in a.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Horrific car crash on the one oh five on Thursday,
and they found out about it because he didn't show
up for work, which is not like push and they
didn't know for eight hours where he was that it
was him because his id burned up in the car
crash on the one oh five, and his mom only
(14:47):
found him by calling all the hospitals, Hey.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Do you have somebody in there? You have my son there?
Speaker 6 (14:53):
And you know what's crazy, Amy, as I was talking
to Sharon Bellio and they were using all these resources
at the station Angel Martinez looking for accidents that took place,
you know, kind of on the route. They were all
working together along with his mother to kind of narrow
and triangulate to see where he might be. Yea, And
(15:17):
I remember her saying, there's two accidents in that area
and one the car rolled over and was on fire.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
And I'm like, geez, I hope that wasn't the one.
And they found out that was the one. Did you
see the video of that car on fold? Yeah? Crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
If it weren't for the good Samaritans that pulled him
out of the car, he would have been completely in centered.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Tim found one of them, and he's going to be
on Tim Conway Junior tonight to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yeah, that's right. At four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, I got a text from Tim explaining what happened.
We're telling me what happened.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
I went, Yeah, the good news is that Fush is
going to be okay.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
He's he's up and he's you know, he's conscious, and
he got a shower yesterday. He's got some surgery scheduled.
It's its third surgery is scheduled for today because his
arm was outside the vehicle and so his arm was
just well made.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
They call it. They call it de gloved, which basically means.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
That, oh, there's nothing there.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
But they're doing skin grafts and stuff to put that back.
And now they need to check and make sure the
tendons are where they're supposed to be and they've got
blood float. But so he's he's got a long road ahead,
but he's he's doing well good.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Oh all right Trump, as you heard Amy say earlier
as well, around seven am our time, Amy, Yep, there's
going to be a news conference with Trump. Obviously, he's
going balls to the wall with protecting what he says
protecting Washington, d C. In this beautiful capital that has
(16:51):
been left to rot. In his eyes, he says, the homeless.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Have to move out immediately.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
We will give you places to stay, but far from
the capitol. The criminals, you don't have to move out.
We're going to put you in jail where you belong.
Even though the Metropolitan Police Department there in Washington says
overall crime in DC has decreased by seven percent, which
is probably not true. Since last year violent crime down
(17:21):
twenty six percent and property crime reduced by five percent,
you have him saying essentially we're just going to stop
violent crime.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Indeed, yeah, I mean, and the crime is out of control.
I mean, the man does.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Let's say he gets a little hyperbolic at times, for example,
inheriting the most crime ridden administration in the history of
the United States, the worst economy in the history of
the United States.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You know, there's a little exaggeration there. Do you not
like Trump because you guys are so similar?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Yeah, that's true. I don't like Trump because we are
so similar. The problem is, I know, just said, hey,
I know here here is the difference. I've got a
group of people in the morning that call me on
it every morning who calls Trump on it around him?
(18:17):
That's correctly, that is my point. And unfortunately I can't
fire you guys because you're all under contract.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
But I really admired Trump for being able to do that.
I'm not fire away, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Oh, okay, all right, Neil, all right, we are not
going to have Ann and Neil tomorrow morning with us.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
But that's okay. I don't mind, I don't mind, all right.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
COVID made him do it. The guy who.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Opened fire at a CDC campus late Friday blamed COVID
actually the vaccine for making him sick and depressed.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
The guy's apparently been having issues since he got the
vaccine and had become increasingly fixated on the COVID nineteen
vaccine as a source of his problems and grievances.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Hey, have we had these mass shootings?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I think anybody over four people either injured or kill
is considered a mass shooting. Doesn't it seem like every
day the last couple of weeks there is one.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Am I missing something here?
Speaker 6 (19:26):
No, it has seemed that there's I think there's been
at least three that come to mind.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Maybe four last week. Yeah, it has two weeks. Yeah,
I mean it's really crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And this is one of those here's and this is
one of those where they knew this guy had a
mental problem. He had been going up and down the
street talking about vaccine conspiracy, so people knew he had
a real problem. Now what do you do with that?
Speaker 3 (19:55):
There are a lot him head of the health department.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, good point, excellent, excellent way of talking of describing
that one.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
All right, So Netanyaho is defending his decisions. He obviously
the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netting Yah who he is
talking that even though people were concerned about his earlier statements,
his military offensive in Gaza is even more sweeping than
he previously announced, it seems. And his statement really that
(20:29):
puts it in a nutshell, says he has no choice
but to finish the job and to complete the defeat
of Hamas.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Yeah, that's two months.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
We've been going through all this, watching the horrors that
are going on.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
And he's talking about occupying Gaza Israel as an occupying force.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Boy, that's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Well, when you're sitting in an occupy in a population
that effectively is determined to get you out. Now we
have occupied before. We occupy Germany, for example, we occupied
Japan after World War Two, but they were ready. I mean,
they open arms, come on and occupy us. A little
(21:09):
bit different in Gaza.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
And it's too bad because they're in the right to
defend themselves. Israel's in the right to defend themselves.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Now the question right understood? Now here is an argument. Okay,
Israel came back and kicked the crap out of Kamas
and certainly made the Palestinian people suffer, and boy, the
payback was big. Twelve hundred Israelis or killed so far,
sixty thousand Palestinian has been killed, about third of them militants,
(21:36):
which really doesn't count. They're not really people. But you're
talking about, you know, thousands, tens of thousands of men
and women, children who are innocent. Don't you think at
this point a lot of people has said it. Hamas
is basically decimated. There ain't much left of Kamas. Are
they going to do this again? Considering the kind of
(21:57):
defense Israel now knows to put up. They figured the
defense was a complete failure and heads did roll.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
So does Hamas have the ability to do this again?
I don't think so.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
And they haven't won the war in marketing though, Waite Hamas.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
No, Israel has lost the wars, not so much. Hamas
has won the war. That's fair, that's fair. But there
was early on. People didn't even mention October seven.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Actually they did early on, and then it faded and
you had all these protests, right, they didn't even mention.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
No, this war started October eighth.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
As far as a good part of the world is concerned,
and certainly the Palestinian those and that are on the
Palestinian side, nothing happened before October eighth when Israel woke
up and said, oh, let's do this, let's invade and
kick the crap out of Gaza. So he's nuts. He
is nuts, and I believe he's doing all this just
(22:58):
to stay in power. It's even worse. Rights, do one
more and we will take a break.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Ironic that a fire knocked out nine to one one.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Redondo Beach's nine one system was kicked offline for a
while on Sunday yesterday because of a fire at an
AT and T communications center. A trash fire spread to
the AT AT and T facility in Gardena and burned
for about five hours. The fire spread to a three
(23:29):
hundred to two hundred square foot communications building that had
lead acid batteries stored in it, so they had to
call out the hazmat team. People were told to shelter
in place. Nine to one one was knocked out, but
nine to one one service apparently has been restored.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Well that's good news.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So you now can call nine one one so they
can ignore you, so you can be put on hold
for twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So it all works out very well. At least they'll
be a good connection.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Kind of getting bored with these children being eaten by
by mountain right.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Well, I thought at first I was. I took a
double take this morning. Another child bitten by an animal,
in this particular cases outside of a Malibu home this
past Sunday, just yesterday, eleven year old was playing outside
actually possibly feeding chickens, and a mountain lion came and
(24:20):
bit them, bit him on the arm apparently, But when
it started, he grabbed the child by the head and
then started running. Crowds of people that were there started
to scare him and all that.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
But why didn't he go after the chickens? Maybe he
thought he was the biggest of the chicken.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Maybe he did, but they you know, you had fish
and wildlife out there, and they found the animal.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And him because.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It's because it's illegal, of course to ethanize mountain lions
or protected, they ethanized the kid instead.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
He was so badly hurting.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
But we don't we actually don't know how bad things are.
But he was taking in the It's no fun. I
have bobcats in my neighborhood. Eh, they're not you know,
they don't attack anybody.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
And certainly what else we have, Oh I should clif
by some raccoons?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
What I should clarify.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Actually the crowd scaring the animal was last year of
five year old was attacked by a mountain lion in
Malibu Creek State Park and then there was an OHI trail.
It's just these things do happen because we lived near wildlife,
but still scary.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Millions are getting more than drenched. More than ten million
people across the Midwest are under flood alerts as heavy
rainfall continues to pound parts of Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.
Flash flooding in Milwaukee forced the Wisconsin State Fair to
cancel it's last day. Fourteen and a half inches of
rain fell in twenty four hours in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Now you've been reporting on the news, Amy for a
very long time. Yes, actually, way way long a time. Actually, yes,
you're welcome. It used to be where one inch of
rain was considered a monumental amount of rain. That would
be big news. One inch of rain. I remember that.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Maybe you think an inch of rain was a lot.
I don't think it's I think it was an inch.
But when it's an inch an hour for a long
period of.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Time, No, I'm talking about years and years ago when
rain in was a pretty Yeah, inch was that was
reportable an inch of rain.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Go with it. When it comes to inches.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
He kind of all right, thank you very much. But
it's now it's just rain. Now it's yeah, thank you.
Now that's the average, isn't it six inches?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Depending on where you live.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Sometimes it's four inches the.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Amount of rain.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Now it's feet per per day. I mean, it's just
it's a big deal. And of course this much rain,
just that the flooding is just is catastrophic.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
So here's my question, because this is like what a
monsoon would be, right, but it's happening in the Midwest
where they didn't used to get those did like were
monsoonal rains like in the tropics and stuff Here's that
so did the weather patterns shift.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
I think there's just.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Weather has become more it's been exacerbated that it's still
rains in the Midwest, it's just far worse and the
droughts here.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Are longer and they are hotter. I mean it just
the weather.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
The climate just is changing, exacerbating it's getting It's not
changing in terms of where it's raining.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I don't think. I think it's sort of still in
the same area. Maybe not. Maybe it's expanded.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Maybe it has.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Cono and I bought a bunch of wood and as
soon as we find out what a cubit is, we're
going to build an arc. We got this bro. We
got this bro, all right. If you remember backing, whether
they twenty twelve or something like that, you had Walmart
having they were sued for overcharging customers back then, Well
it happened again. State officials announced Friday this past Friday
(28:18):
at Walmart, which is massive. I mean they have two
hundred and eighty stores just here in California. They're going
to pay five point six million, which is couch change
to settle a consumer protection lawsuit. So they say they
were overcharging. What they were doing was the scanned price
and weight on things like produce or baked goods or
(28:41):
these types of things were not the same, so the
weight was wrong. So people were being overcharged. But I
don't see how five point six million is a penalty
to No.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
No, it's not it's like a two dollars fine for us. No,
it's less mean and it means absolutely nothing.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
This means something. How's this first statistic? Every eight minutes
for five years. I'll let you do the math. Well,
I tell you what that is. Uber got reports of
sexual assault or sexual misconduct in the US nearly every
eight minutes between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty two. Of course,
uber is promoted itself as one of the safest transportation options.
(29:24):
But these newly unsealed records, which are part of a
large scale lawsuit against the company, show that Uber logged
four hundred thousand, one hundred and eighty one reports of
sexual assault or misconduct in a five year span.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Now, what I'm going to do is, I'm doing this
story at seven fifty and then I'm going to give
you some stats, some of which are horrific going this
way in terms of the number of complaints, and some
of them defending uber in terms of the same stats.
And I'll share that with you at seven fifty, because
(29:59):
that real is a fascinating story.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
All right.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
One more almost a million more deaths than births recorded
in Japan last year, and it's like going on for
sixteen years, the sixteenth consecutive year of population decline there.
They've been trying all kinds of things, but the reality
is they have what they call a quite emergency of
Japan's aging population, and the fact that they anything they
(30:29):
do to make the population grow is not happening. I
think they're at the point where they're looking to bring
in more Catholics, Mormons, and Latinos.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
So now if they're doing anything, because it's not just
a statistic when you have a declining population, it's that
there aren't enough people coming in to support the old people,
and so all of a sudden, you have more old people,
fewer people paying for the old people, because that's how
they support the elderly. You have to have a population
(30:59):
based at work that creates taxes, et cetera. And in Japan,
they live forever and population is going way down. So
that's not good news.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
No, we understand it. It takes five of us to
support you every morning.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Every morning.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And on top of that, even we have a birth
rate that is not keeping up. But we have immigration,
and we're really and we do. We used to have immigration.
We still do to some extent. And Japan they don't
leant many people in to live. I mean, you talk
about a a homogeneous society. I'll even say racist. They
(31:38):
just don't want people in the door. Not interested. Well,
they're gonna have to change their view and their policies
fairly quickly. Okay, KFI am sixty.
