Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh look there's a way mo. He just passed a
weymo and the weymo just pulled over and stopped. Isn't

Conway and stang Don with you look at that crash
at that.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, flashes bright. So if he's listening to us right now.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Has anybody ever done that? I love it when they
talk to him talking, you know, when Tim talks to
him and says, hey, if you're let us know.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I don't know if anybody.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm sure people listen because my guess is because Tim
has such a unique audience, and I loved him. I
think he's a hugely talented guy who has a unique show.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Then nothing like it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
If someone that is involved in a high speed chase
a driver would listen to radio, it would be Conway.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay. Now he's pulling into a gas station.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
They're throwing money down to bet on the show. And
it's nice when Tim does the call outs as to
what's going on because he's like, ah, the bad guy
by a nose.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Okay, since I'm not watching it, I'm broadcasting from the
house and I'm not getting old.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Let me see if i can get it up on
the big screen. Eleven.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay, So now he's in alley. He's in an alley.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh, come on, stop it, guys. Until I figure this
out right now, I've got.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
A stolen vehicle and this way, yeah it Willoughby and.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Next up Willoughby.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And if he's head in our way, he going to
be here fast because like you said, and he is
going fast.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That's crazy. This bug me because I'm not getting it.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
No, there were sparks like sparks again spark oh yeah,
because you know the dips in the road. He's not
slowing down for him, and so he's bottoming out.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm seeing it now, by the way, you you understand
it by now. No one is listening to our show anymore?
You know that, don't you.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Totally listening to our show. They're on the roads going.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Up government shut down?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Who cares? I am looking at it now, I got it?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Uh? And there he is, white car, white sedan of
some kind of keeping down the road.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Can you see the front wheel. It looks like it's glowing.
Is that just the yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh no, the right side of his brakes are you
know what? Do you guys understand something.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
That this is radio and they will badly, I might
add very badly.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Okay, So you can talk about Will's shirts.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, but I don't talk about Will's shirt for ten
minutes straight and how part of it is glowing and
part of it is torn and there.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, I'm thinking the wheels glowing because something's going on
with his brakes or has he hit He can't have
hit a spike straight because he couldn't be going that
fast with no tires, right.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, I don't see any comp cars around there either.
He's at least the helicopter shot doesn't show.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Can't they hold back when the driving high.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Speed chases high speed chases, they do hold back, but
they still have to chase him.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
They do, but on these surface streets like this, it
would be so dangerous for them to be right on
his tail, don't you.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Think, Well, yeah, there's been some lost there's been some
lawsuits where people were injured and or killed and the
guy that's why police for the most part don't don't
are not right on top of the guy behind behind him.
Now on open stretches, they'll do the pit maneuver, which
he'll stop the car, but not like this.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Do we know that it's more than just a stolen car.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Just says it's a stolen car, But that's all we
know at this point. Now they're in the mid Wiltshire
District again. Oh, and he almost hit a car that
was trying to parallel park. And he's just on these
super narrow streets, like you know, it's got the cars
parked on both sides, and you still like there's only
(07:20):
a room for one car to go through. There's nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What's Ryan Seacrest doing this morning on his show? Because
I'm gonna go ahead and tune into that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, I think it has something to do with Ryan's roses.
Oh yeah, Ryan's giving away a new car.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
If you happen to have a if your car's in
a chase and you destroy it, just call Ryan and
if you're one of the first three callers, you'll get
a brand new car.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It looks like there's somebody in the passenger seat too.
Oh yeah, it does. Are weep on doing? Are we
gonna keep on doing this?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well, it's your show, bill.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh really, that's news to me. But you can't focus.
You can't even start the first story.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I can't, but we are. We'll keep you apprized of
what's going on. For those of you that are either
paying not paying attention, or somewhere in that area, this
is a pretty good high speed chase.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
This is going on for a while. We'll do that,
but first it is.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Time for handle on the news with Amy Neil and
me lead story.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's shut down, shut down, a high.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Speed chase going on right now along the streets of
Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Shut down our government. Yeah, but the high chase.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Pay the high speed chase, of course, is far more important. Anyway,
the government did shut down, and we are now in
the realm of a shutdown government, but it really isn't
completely shut down. And I'll be talking a whole lot
more about that at seven o'clock because when we say
government shutdown, and that's in quotes, man, that can go
on just explaining that can go on for hours. So
(09:05):
I'm going to hit on the major points when I
come back at seven o'clock. Ow here we go. LAPD
is in pursuit. Now that just keeps on going, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Moving on?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
They've got the night sun out there too. And it's
funny because right before this hit, I'm in the flight
path of LAPD and they came ripping over with a helicopter.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But that's like every day over here, all right, Amy K.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
King, did we really need to meet in person? Defense
Secretary Pete heg Sas speech to top generals was supposed
to be a rallying cry for military exceptionalism, but apparently
it didn't land that way. Several defense officials who watched
senior brass scramble to get to Quantico, Virginia and then
(09:57):
sit through a speech from Hegseeth and President Trump, we're
left wondering why the event had happened at all. One said,
more like a press conference than briefing the generals. Could
have been an email.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, and a lot of them were a little offended
about a guy who is a second lieutenant. I think
it was a major in the reserves telling four five
star admirals generals exactly how the military is going to run,
although in reality that's the job of the Secretary of Defense,
Secretary of War.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now is just oh, the guy is running.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Now and one of them got out.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, there he is running around until this thing is over.
The focus of this morning show is not going to
be doing very well. Yeah, it's definitely squirrel. And on
top of that, oh what do we have government shut down?
We have peace going on theoretically, we have all kinds
of issues that certainly Trump is brought up and we're
(10:56):
sitting here with a local stolen car chase.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well, the guy's trying to hide in the bushes. Now
he's jumped offense, but they've got they've got the spotlights
on him.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So yeah, and then they have the thermost you know,
you're just sending the dogs. You have to eat them.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Done.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, those are great. Okay, let's go ahead and take
a break.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And maybe maybe by the time we get back, this
thing is going to be over and we can actually
do the show. What do you think, guys, No, no, no,
no chance?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Bill? All right, Wednesday morning, October one.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I am not here tomorrow, by the way, because tomorrow
is yom Kee Poor.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The holiest of high holy days. I'm not here either. Yeah, exactly,
well said.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And for those of you that are really not familiar
with yam Keep Poor, a lot of it is asking
God's forgiveness for the sins, and so.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You don't want to take the rest of the week.
That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm thinking of taking Thursday and Friday off just to
try to cram as many as I can in there.
By the way, it's not really asking God's forgiveness. There's
a whole world to that, which I'll explain at some point,
but I have no desire to do that right now.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Okay, back we go, though, By the way, shocking news
the driver in that pursuit, Dodger fan got out of
the car.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Dodger.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
You'll be hatocking, don't be hatway?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Wow? Hey, you know what? Okay, So we're off to
a hell of a start this morning.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Right now. I'm the one who put together the whole thing,
so I should be the one who's mad.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Nobody else to do.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But you put together the chase.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I put together handle on the news.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Now's not the time to be lying, girl. We get
together with tomorrow, right Bill?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Do you know have we lost sort of control of
this show? Am I losing somebody here? Like control? Okay?
Why don't we move on? Oh? How's the chase doing?
Oh it's over? Okay? More handt yes, more hands feels
when people don't pay attention during the show. It's Amy
(13:14):
and Neil and me, all right.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
So it looks at at least one point seven million
total paid streamer cancelations for Disney Plus well sort of,
between September seventeenth and twenty third. The total includes Disney Plus,
Hulu and ESPN. But you know they've got two hundred
and seven point four million subscribers.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Fine, yeah, right, one point seven million temporarily by the way,
out of over two hundred million.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
And we don't know what their normal average is between
you know, we have no idea, but it is funny
that that is.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Larger than Jimmy Kimmel's audience. I think what one point
it is.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Actually, I think one point seven is bigger except for
the day that he came back, and that was I think,
what six millions, something that they've never had before.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But yeah, we're going to talk a little bit more
about that. I stood with Jerry, but I stood with
Disney plus two. There you go, of course you did.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Drug prices may finally come down. Pfizer has agreed to
offer significantly discounted prices for some of its prescription drugs,
and has committed to offer medications to Medicaid at lower prices.
President Trump made the announcement yesterday. He said the drugs
are going to be available to purchase online on a
(14:41):
website operated by the federal government, which the White House
said will be called Trump r X.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
What, of course, what else would it be other than
Trump r X slapping his name on everything that's true.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Now, this is great news.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I think this is going to be I give him
a lot of credit for this because other administrationists have
tried this to no avail. It's a little more complicated.
Does it do everything that he says it does? No,
it really doesn't, because there are a lot of holes
or of the devils in the details here. But it
is a philosophical statement that he has made. Oh beyond that,
(15:21):
saying hey, this is we're done with this. It is
time for Americans to get the same break that you
big pharma give other countries. It's the most favored nation clause,
if you will, the most favored nation position that we're
in effectively the government saying, hey, Pfizer, you sell drugs
over in Mexico at a tenth the price you sell
(15:41):
them here. Guess what you're going to match here what
you're selling in Mexico.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
So most of Mexico's here anyways, Yeah, I should get
the prices.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, that's a that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We'll talk more about that later on because Trump has
to be giving credit for that one.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
There's no question.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
All right, So OOPSI californ and you can't do much right.
Californians were mailed inaccurate voter guides about the November special election.
So this was all about redrawing congressional district boundaries. As
we know, it's the single thing on the ballot for
November in this special election, and according to the Secretary
(16:18):
of State's office, the state agency announced that it would
mail postcards correcting the information to voters, a likely costing
millions of dollars because it was inaccurate.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, there is a and that's going to cost a zillions.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Geting us a butt ton of money for special election
as it is.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, I think it's important that we do have one.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And this is a little bit complicated, so I'm going
to spend just a second talking about this. What Texas
is doing is it's redrafting its congressional map, this district
map to basically create more Republican districts. And the way
you do it is by cramming all the Democrats into
one district. So that's a giveaway that's going democratic. But
the ones around that that are swing those voters now
(17:03):
become they draw the map, so it's Republicans in those districts,
which means more Republicans. So Texas can do it, California can't.
California cannot have the legislature redraw its map because what
during I don't know, ten years ago, something like that,
they put it in a commission to make sure this doesn't happen.
(17:24):
I'm sorry, Well, I don't know what Schwarzenegger. It could
have been under Schwarzenegger, but it put an independent commission
to redraft those congression the congressional map every ten years,
which based on the states should all right, yes, However
Texas doesn't have that. Southern states don't have that rule.
So what California is saying is they're making more congressional
(17:48):
seats for Republicans. We've got to make more democratic seats
to counter what Texas is doing. Well, that's Prop fifty,
the anti Prop fifty, of which Schwarzenegger is all over.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That one says, Oh no, we have to keep it independent.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh no, we can't have legislators decide what congressional maps are.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We've made an independent body to do.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That, completely ignoring that Texas and other states are doing exactly.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Aren't you supposed to set the standard, Not to mention
that democrats did it in New Mexico as well.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Billy.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Setting the standard, and so it's losing congressional seats in
this day and age is something very very different, because
when you're talking about these razor thin majority of two
congress people for congress people, it all makes a lot
of It has to be an even playing field, it's all.
(18:43):
It has to be all or nothing. So that's what's
going on with that, and that's what the election is about.
And I am a firm believer in Prop fifty. If
they're going to do it across southern states, we have
to do it here.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
We have no choice.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't mind, you know, if we have an election
where Republicans win, I get that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But creating congressional districts to make sure.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
More Republicans no outlawed everywhere, that's you're right, But it's
not going to be outlawed because it's state by state.
That's the problem. You're absolutely right, And we don't have
a chase to go to anymore. Let's bets Namara depressing. Yeah,
you know, let's call for people that are in cars
right now listening start to chase somehow.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You know, we really need one for the morning show.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Chunk is quite the Hunk thirty two. Chunk has been
declared the winner of Fat Bear Week. Apparently he's been
the runner up for the past two years. It's a
contest between bears at Catmi National Park and Preserve It
in Alaska. It's held every year to celebrate the bears
of Brooks River as they continue their quest to bulk
(19:53):
up before they go into hibernation. For the winner, Chuck
love you, chill, Yeah, Chunk, ways about or more than
twelve hundred pounds?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Who's gonna win this year? Here?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Neo at our fat fat host.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Call me thirty two Chunk the Champa whoa, I'm gonna
hibernate just like Bill does every day every day.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
So Trump posts what people are calling a racist video
of Hakeem Jeffries Chuck Schumer on the shutdown. Boy he
likes his social media so because don't Trump?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
What's that? Did you see it?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
It is so astoundingly racist. Yeah, it is even to
the point where it's you can't even call it racist
because it's so hyperbolic.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It is crazy over the top.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
So it's it's an AI video of Schumer speaking in
a fake voice and Jeffrey's standing next to him in
a sombrero, a mustache and with Mariacci music playing in
the background. It's like, uh, that sounds like the old
bill handle showed to be.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, I love this stuff. I have to tell you.
I that's one thing that this presidency is all about.
This is entertainment with a big, big capital E. So
I revel in this stuff, absolutely love it. It was
absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Well, first Jews were being targeted. Now the Mormons seem
to be getting the brunt of it. What is going on?
University of Colorado's issued a statement condemning anti Mormon chants
from the stands at a football game that happens Saturday
night was between a Colorado and BYU. Some of the
fans were chanting explotive BYU and exploitive the Mormons. But
(21:46):
BYU prevailed and beat the Colorado Buffalo's twenty four.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So what would you what if a Jew Marry's a
Mormon a Jorman? Yeah, what do you get from that?
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I don't know. It has something.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It has a lot to do with Joseph Smith and
those golden tablets. I'm sure there's something in there that
connects the two.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Those things are heavy. That's the whole point you had
to carry him.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Yeah, moving on, all right, Republicans refuse to swear in
a newly elected Democrat. I know you go, oh, well,
that's not a huge deal, but there's some devil in
the details. You got to Speaker of Mike Johnson, House
Republican leader refusing requests from Democrats swear in their representative
(22:35):
elect on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
The reason why is this will deprive a petition of
the last signature needs to force a vote on a
bill to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Ye, Mike Johnson is making sure Trump doesn't want those
files released. They're not going to be released. Everything Mike
Johnson is doing. If wow, how can that play good
for well for them? Because it's my guy. Actually, man,
the people are pissed off at Trump by this one too.
So it's well, it's Trump calling a messa. Yeah, it's
(23:10):
Trump calling calling Mike Johnson and said this is what
I want you to do this morning, Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Whatever you say, sir is what ends up happening.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
And this could have gone either way because it could
have had the vote, and I think most speakers would
have allowed the vote to go forward, but not under
these circumstances. So this is Mike Johnson just arbitrarily saying no,
we're never going to swear you in.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, of course not. But this has to do with
this vote.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And this was a special election where she was elected
last week to replace her dead father.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Democrat in Arizona.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Wells chimpanzee has well, he's got a new Lisa on life.
The ground breaking collaboration between doctors and veterans rans, not veterans, veterinarians.
I don't know what is going on with my brain today.
Saved a chimp at the Knoxville Zoo. So there's a
thirty four year old chimp. They name it Lou. She
(24:13):
started or he started stumbling, and they were worried about
what was going on. So they did an MRI and
found a tumor pressing on the chimp's spinal cord. So
a veterinary neurologist teamed up with a neuro surgeon and
they performed surgery on the chimp and they removed the
vast majority of the tumor, relieving pressure on the spinal cord,
(24:37):
and Lou is on a path to healing, showing signs
of improvement and getting extra love from its handlers.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, Anne, as much as I love you and think
you do a great job and world working you about
this spot is about the thing, you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
This is a chimp. That's amazing. It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And all you guys do is complain about me putting
too many Trump stories in.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's all there. I'm doing this for you. I's stories.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Okay, you know what she didn't say that when they
got the tumor out, the monkey went.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Oh, thank the Lord, that's wonderful. That's been pushing on
my brain.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
All right, so it started. I want you to do
the next story on a three hummed camel.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Okay, hey, this uh, this is good news. I like
the United States Post Office. I think they do a
fabulous job, and they're going to be modernizing their their lobbies.
They've got a bunch of tech stuff coming twenty four
to seven, smart lockers, enhanced self service, Kiosk, rapid drop off,
mobile app, all kinds of stuff, digital streamline stuff. And
(25:45):
I couldn't be more thrilled because I used the Post Office.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
All the time for what certainly not for ropes and
things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
So you use how about the FedEx ups d h oh.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I will tell you when it comes to when it
comes to their flat right packages, you're.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Not going to get a better price.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Okay, they can put tumors in those packages. Okay, all right,
I think we can do one more before we take
our final break.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
We've got a third high school lockdown in two days,
and guess what they're all In southern California, two high
schools in San Bernardino County were put on lockdown yesterday,
a day after an active shooter threat closed a third
high school campus. The rialto Unified school District. So the
first lockdown happened at Carter High School shortly before eleven fifteen.
(26:40):
Then about twenty minutes later, another post from the district
said that Eisenhower High School was on precautionary lockdown. Unclear
what led to the lockdowns. Also unknown if they were
connected in any way to a third lockdown in the
city that happened the day before.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So I have a question, since the police have to
be super cautious and react to virtually everything, how do
they determine whether there is credibility to active shooter call
or do they just send out the forces come hell
or high water and ignore even looking at the veracity
(27:19):
of that call. And I don't know the answer to that,
Amy any idea I do not? Okay, excellent, well said, Uh,
this is this is why Amy gets paid the big
bucks and why she's here. I have no idea either,
And they have to because there has to be there
have to be so many of these calls. Now, Uh,
it's yeah, how do you And if they're wrong, someone
(27:41):
gets killed?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Can you imagine? All right, let's just kind of treat
everyone like it, Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, And look at the swat teams comes out with
a swatting call, and look at the resources that are
used and the intrusion on the educational system and how
it's just horrible.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
All right, all right.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is in talks to buy Occidental
petroleums oxy petro chemical business about ten billion bucks with
a bee there, according to people familiar with it. So
it's kind of a big deal. They're largely known for
their oil and gas operations there and the company has
(28:22):
market value around forty six billion and already counts Berkshire
as its largest shareholder.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Anyway, big deal.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You know when Buffett buys something big, it becomes big news.
And unfortunately, here's La County big news, and this happens
more often than not.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I Amy, Yeah, no amount of money is going to
bring this little boy back. But the La County Board
of Supervisors has approved a twenty million dollar settlement in
the death of Noah Quatro. You may remember him. He's
the little boy from Palmdale who was tortured and murdered
by his parents in twenty nineteen. Well, his great grandmother
(29:03):
filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county in July
of twenty twenty on behalf of Noah's six year old
sister and two brothers who were five and eleven. The
lawsuit says that the Department of Family and Children's Services
failed to carry out an order to remove Quattro from
his parents weeks before he was killed, and that his
murder could have been prevented.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah, and there was evidence there was an order to
remove them, and they just didn't do it. And unfortunately,
well there's all kinds of reasons. They are overloaded, overwork,
social workers, etc. But this was such negligence and of
course we end up those of us who live in
Ally County or those of you who live in Ally
County now end up unfortunately paying The Bill family deserves
(29:46):
every nime, go ahead, he deserves life.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
San Fernando Valley gang members are arrested in a peculiar crime.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It looks like they were allegedly hired.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
For or a murder for a higher plot of an
Armenian organized crime boss. So the Armenian organized crime boss
is forty seven years old, he lives in Hollywood and
has allegedly been in this power struggle going on. And
so it turns out that his wife, I believe, was
(30:21):
actually shot. She's still alive, but she was the one
that was shot and injured in front of their two children.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Authorities saying, yeah, he is crazy. Yeah, here you go.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You have a couple of Armenians and they're screaming at
each other trying to get hold of or trying to
control this district or this area gang area. And one
of them goes, I'm going to kill you the otherwise. No, no,
I'm going to kill you first. No, no, no, I'm
killing you before you kill me. No, that's not true.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You're going to kill me and then I'm going to
kill you. And then I'm going to kill your family.
My family is going to kill you after you kill
my family. What an accent is that? I have no idea?
What the hell I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I have no idea. I just wanted to make a point.
I'm going to what you're bad at. Yeah, I think
we're done, guys. There was a point to that, and
the accent. I should not have used the accent. Probably
it sort of sounded, oh, stopping ray.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Maybe no it was, it wasn't. Amy. Is there a

horrible skin disease on his or her face.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Open shankers, you know, with you can actually just go
to like party city and pick up some stuff. You

lot more fun doing that. Fair enough, Cono, Good Morning's Bill. Yeah,

My heart's going crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Let's bring let's bring Conway in because you know he'll

Oh, he was on the freeway, got off the freeway
and I was just speeding. Look at he got hit

driver's side.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
He's going ninety five right now on a surface street.
He's still Are you still moving?
Speaker 4 (03:01):

If he's going to crash in mid Woltshire, I'm gonna
recommends Gonzo Desconso restaurant.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Oh look there's a way mo. He just passed a
weymo and the weymo just pulled over and stopped. Isn't
that interesting thing?
Speaker 2 (03:37):

Speaker 1 (03:42):
The listen left. Pretend we're Tim.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Conway and stang Don with you look at that crash
at that.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, flashes bright. So if he's listening to us right now.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Has anybody ever done that? I love it when they
talk to him talking, you know, when Tim talks to
him and says, hey, if you're let us know.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
I don't know if anybody.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm sure people listen because my guess is because Tim
has such a unique audience, and I loved him. I
think he's a hugely talented guy who has a unique show.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Then nothing like it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
If someone that is involved in a high speed chase
a driver would listen to radio, it would be Conway.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay. Now he's pulling into a gas station.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
They're throwing money down to bet on the show. And
it's nice when Tim does the call outs as to
what's going on because he's like, ah, the bad guy
by a nose.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Okay, since I'm not watching it, I'm broadcasting from the
house and I'm not getting old.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Let me see if i can get it up on
the big screen. Eleven.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay, So now he's in alley. He's in an alley.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Oh, come on, stop it, guys. Until I figure this
out right now, I've got.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
A stolen vehicle and this way, yeah it Willoughby and.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Next up Willoughby.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And if he's head in our way, he going to
be here fast because like you said, and he is
going fast.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That's crazy. This bug me because I'm not getting it.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
No, there were sparks like sparks again spark oh yeah,
because you know the dips in the road. He's not
slowing down for him, and so he's bottoming out.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I'm seeing it now, by the way, you you understand
it by now. No one is listening to our show anymore?
You know that, don't you.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Totally listening to our show. They're on the roads going.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Up government shut down?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Who cares? I am looking at it now, I got it?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Uh? And there he is, white car, white sedan of
some kind of keeping down the road.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Can you see the front wheel. It looks like it's glowing.
Is that just the yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh no, the right side of his brakes are you
know what? Do you guys understand something.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
That this is radio and they will badly, I might
add very badly.
Speaker 5 (05:54):
Okay, So you can talk about Will's shirts.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, but I don't talk about Will's shirt for ten
minutes straight and how part of it is glowing and
part of it is torn and there.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Well, I'm thinking the wheels glowing because something's going on
with his brakes or has he hit He can't have
hit a spike straight because he couldn't be going that
fast with no tires, right.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, I don't see any comp cars around there either.
He's at least the helicopter shot doesn't show.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Can't they hold back when the driving high.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Speed chases high speed chases, they do hold back, but
they still have to chase him.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
They do, but on these surface streets like this, it
would be so dangerous for them to be right on
his tail, don't you.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Think, Well, yeah, there's been some lost there's been some
lawsuits where people were injured and or killed and the
guy that's why police for the most part don't don't
are not right on top of the guy behind behind him.
Now on open stretches, they'll do the pit maneuver, which
he'll stop the car, but not like this.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Do we know that it's more than just a stolen car.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Just says it's a stolen car, But that's all we
know at this point. Now they're in the mid Wiltshire
District again. Oh, and he almost hit a car that
was trying to parallel park. And he's just on these
super narrow streets, like you know, it's got the cars
parked on both sides, and you still like there's only
(07:20):
a room for one car to go through. There's nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What's Ryan Seacrest doing this morning on his show? Because
I'm gonna go ahead and tune into that.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Well, I think it has something to do with Ryan's roses.
Oh yeah, Ryan's giving away a new car.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
If you happen to have a if your car's in
a chase and you destroy it, just call Ryan and
if you're one of the first three callers, you'll get
a brand new car.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
It looks like there's somebody in the passenger seat too.
Oh yeah, it does. Are weep on doing? Are we
gonna keep on doing this?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well, it's your show, bill.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh really, that's news to me. But you can't focus.
You can't even start the first story.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I can't, but we are. We'll keep you apprized of
what's going on. For those of you that are either
paying not paying attention, or somewhere in that area, this
is a pretty good high speed chase.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
This is going on for a while. We'll do that,
but first it is.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Time for handle on the news with Amy Neil and
me lead story.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's shut down, shut down, a high.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Speed chase going on right now along the streets of
Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Shut down our government. Yeah, but the high chase.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Pay the high speed chase, of course, is far more important. Anyway,
the government did shut down, and we are now in
the realm of a shutdown government, but it really isn't
completely shut down. And I'll be talking a whole lot
more about that at seven o'clock because when we say
government shutdown, and that's in quotes, man, that can go
on just explaining that can go on for hours. So
(09:05):
I'm going to hit on the major points when I
come back at seven o'clock. Ow here we go. LAPD
is in pursuit. Now that just keeps on going, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Moving on?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
They've got the night sun out there too. And it's
funny because right before this hit, I'm in the flight
path of LAPD and they came ripping over with a helicopter.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
But that's like every day over here, all right, Amy K.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
King, did we really need to meet in person? Defense
Secretary Pete heg Sas speech to top generals was supposed
to be a rallying cry for military exceptionalism, but apparently
it didn't land that way. Several defense officials who watched
senior brass scramble to get to Quantico, Virginia and then
(09:57):
sit through a speech from Hegseeth and President Trump, we're
left wondering why the event had happened at all. One said,
more like a press conference than briefing the generals. Could
have been an email.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, and a lot of them were a little offended
about a guy who is a second lieutenant. I think
it was a major in the reserves telling four five
star admirals generals exactly how the military is going to run,
although in reality that's the job of the Secretary of Defense,
Secretary of War.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Now is just oh, the guy is running.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Now and one of them got out.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, there he is running around until this thing is over.
The focus of this morning show is not going to
be doing very well. Yeah, it's definitely squirrel. And on
top of that, oh what do we have government shut down?
We have peace going on theoretically, we have all kinds
of issues that certainly Trump is brought up and we're
(10:56):
sitting here with a local stolen car chase.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Well, the guy's trying to hide in the bushes. Now
he's jumped offense, but they've got they've got the spotlights
on him.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So yeah, and then they have the thermost you know,
you're just sending the dogs. You have to eat them.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Done.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, those are great. Okay, let's go ahead and take
a break.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And maybe maybe by the time we get back, this
thing is going to be over and we can actually
do the show. What do you think, guys, No, no, no,
no chance?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Bill? All right, Wednesday morning, October one.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I am not here tomorrow, by the way, because tomorrow
is yom Kee Poor.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The holiest of high holy days. I'm not here either. Yeah, exactly,
well said.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And for those of you that are really not familiar
with yam Keep Poor, a lot of it is asking
God's forgiveness for the sins, and so.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You don't want to take the rest of the week.
That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I'm thinking of taking Thursday and Friday off just to
try to cram as many as I can in there.
By the way, it's not really asking God's forgiveness. There's
a whole world to that, which I'll explain at some point,
but I have no desire to do that right now.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Okay, back we go, though, By the way, shocking news
the driver in that pursuit, Dodger fan got out of
the car.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Dodger.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
You'll be hatocking, don't be hatway?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Wow? Hey, you know what? Okay, So we're off to
a hell of a start this morning.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Right now. I'm the one who put together the whole thing,
so I should be the one who's mad.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Nobody else to do.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
But you put together the chase.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I put together handle on the news.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Now's not the time to be lying, girl. We get
together with tomorrow, right Bill?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Do you know have we lost sort of control of
this show? Am I losing somebody here? Like control? Okay?
Why don't we move on? Oh? How's the chase doing?
Oh it's over? Okay? More handt yes, more hands feels
when people don't pay attention during the show. It's Amy
(13:14):
and Neil and me, all right.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
So it looks at at least one point seven million
total paid streamer cancelations for Disney Plus well sort of,
between September seventeenth and twenty third. The total includes Disney Plus,
Hulu and ESPN. But you know they've got two hundred
and seven point four million subscribers.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Fine, yeah, right, one point seven million temporarily by the way,
out of over two hundred million.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
And we don't know what their normal average is between
you know, we have no idea, but it is funny
that that is.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Larger than Jimmy Kimmel's audience. I think what one point
it is.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Actually, I think one point seven is bigger except for
the day that he came back, and that was I think,
what six millions, something that they've never had before.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
But yeah, we're going to talk a little bit more
about that. I stood with Jerry, but I stood with
Disney plus two. There you go, of course you did.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Drug prices may finally come down. Pfizer has agreed to
offer significantly discounted prices for some of its prescription drugs,
and has committed to offer medications to Medicaid at lower prices.
President Trump made the announcement yesterday. He said the drugs
are going to be available to purchase online on a
(14:41):
website operated by the federal government, which the White House
said will be called Trump r X.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
What, of course, what else would it be other than
Trump r X slapping his name on everything that's true.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Now, this is great news.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I think this is going to be I give him
a lot of credit for this because other administrationists have
tried this to no avail. It's a little more complicated.
Does it do everything that he says it does? No,
it really doesn't, because there are a lot of holes
or of the devils in the details here. But it
is a philosophical statement that he has made. Oh beyond that,
(15:21):
saying hey, this is we're done with this. It is
time for Americans to get the same break that you
big pharma give other countries. It's the most favored nation clause,
if you will, the most favored nation position that we're
in effectively the government saying, hey, Pfizer, you sell drugs
over in Mexico at a tenth the price you sell
(15:41):
them here. Guess what you're going to match here what
you're selling in Mexico.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
So most of Mexico's here anyways, Yeah, I should get
the prices.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, that's a that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We'll talk more about that later on because Trump has
to be giving credit for that one.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
There's no question.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
All right, So OOPSI californ and you can't do much right.
Californians were mailed inaccurate voter guides about the November special election.
So this was all about redrawing congressional district boundaries. As
we know, it's the single thing on the ballot for
November in this special election, and according to the Secretary
(16:18):
of State's office, the state agency announced that it would
mail postcards correcting the information to voters, a likely costing
millions of dollars because it was inaccurate.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, there is a and that's going to cost a zillions.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Geting us a butt ton of money for special election
as it is.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, I think it's important that we do have one.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And this is a little bit complicated, so I'm going
to spend just a second talking about this. What Texas
is doing is it's redrafting its congressional map, this district
map to basically create more Republican districts. And the way
you do it is by cramming all the Democrats into
one district. So that's a giveaway that's going democratic. But
the ones around that that are swing those voters now
(17:03):
become they draw the map, so it's Republicans in those districts,
which means more Republicans. So Texas can do it, California can't.
California cannot have the legislature redraw its map because what
during I don't know, ten years ago, something like that,
they put it in a commission to make sure this doesn't happen.
(17:24):
I'm sorry, Well, I don't know what Schwarzenegger. It could
have been under Schwarzenegger, but it put an independent commission
to redraft those congression the congressional map every ten years,
which based on the states should all right, yes, However
Texas doesn't have that. Southern states don't have that rule.
So what California is saying is they're making more congressional
(17:48):
seats for Republicans. We've got to make more democratic seats
to counter what Texas is doing. Well, that's Prop fifty,
the anti Prop fifty, of which Schwarzenegger is all over.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
That one says, Oh no, we have to keep it independent.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Oh no, we can't have legislators decide what congressional maps are.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We've made an independent body to do.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That, completely ignoring that Texas and other states are doing exactly.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Aren't you supposed to set the standard, Not to mention
that democrats did it in New Mexico as well.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Billy.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Setting the standard, and so it's losing congressional seats in
this day and age is something very very different, because
when you're talking about these razor thin majority of two
congress people for congress people, it all makes a lot
of It has to be an even playing field, it's all.
(18:43):
It has to be all or nothing. So that's what's
going on with that, and that's what the election is about.
And I am a firm believer in Prop fifty. If
they're going to do it across southern states, we have
to do it here.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
We have no choice.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't mind, you know, if we have an election
where Republicans win, I get that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
But creating congressional districts to make sure.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
More Republicans no outlawed everywhere, that's you're right, But it's
not going to be outlawed because it's state by state.
That's the problem. You're absolutely right, And we don't have
a chase to go to anymore. Let's bets Namara depressing. Yeah,
you know, let's call for people that are in cars
right now listening start to chase somehow.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You know, we really need one for the morning show.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Chunk is quite the Hunk thirty two. Chunk has been
declared the winner of Fat Bear Week. Apparently he's been
the runner up for the past two years. It's a
contest between bears at Catmi National Park and Preserve It
in Alaska. It's held every year to celebrate the bears
of Brooks River as they continue their quest to bulk
(19:53):
up before they go into hibernation. For the winner, Chuck
love you, chill, Yeah, Chunk, ways about or more than
twelve hundred pounds?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Who's gonna win this year? Here?
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Neo at our fat fat host.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Call me thirty two Chunk the Champa whoa, I'm gonna
hibernate just like Bill does every day every day.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
All right.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
So Trump posts what people are calling a racist video
of Hakeem Jeffries Chuck Schumer on the shutdown. Boy he
likes his social media so because don't Trump?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
What's that? Did you see it?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
It is so astoundingly racist. Yeah, it is even to
the point where it's you can't even call it racist
because it's so hyperbolic.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
It is crazy over the top.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
So it's it's an AI video of Schumer speaking in
a fake voice and Jeffrey's standing next to him in
a sombrero, a mustache and with Mariacci music playing in
the background. It's like, uh, that sounds like the old
bill handle showed to be.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, I love this stuff. I have to tell you.
I that's one thing that this presidency is all about.
This is entertainment with a big, big capital E. So
I revel in this stuff, absolutely love it. It was
absolutely hilarious.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Well, first Jews were being targeted. Now the Mormons seem
to be getting the brunt of it. What is going on?
University of Colorado's issued a statement condemning anti Mormon chants
from the stands at a football game that happens Saturday
night was between a Colorado and BYU. Some of the
fans were chanting explotive BYU and exploitive the Mormons. But
(21:46):
BYU prevailed and beat the Colorado Buffalo's twenty four.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So what would you what if a Jew Marry's a
Mormon a Jorman? Yeah, what do you get from that?
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I don't know. It has something.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
It has a lot to do with Joseph Smith and
those golden tablets. I'm sure there's something in there that
connects the two.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Those things are heavy. That's the whole point you had
to carry him.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Yeah, moving on, all right, Republicans refuse to swear in
a newly elected Democrat. I know you go, oh, well,
that's not a huge deal, but there's some devil in
the details. You got to Speaker of Mike Johnson, House
Republican leader refusing requests from Democrats swear in their representative
(22:35):
elect on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
The reason why is this will deprive a petition of
the last signature needs to force a vote on a
bill to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Ye, Mike Johnson is making sure Trump doesn't want those
files released. They're not going to be released. Everything Mike
Johnson is doing. If wow, how can that play good
for well for them? Because it's my guy. Actually, man,
the people are pissed off at Trump by this one too.
So it's well, it's Trump calling a messa. Yeah, it's
(23:10):
Trump calling calling Mike Johnson and said this is what
I want you to do this morning, Yes, sir, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Whatever you say, sir is what ends up happening.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
And this could have gone either way because it could
have had the vote, and I think most speakers would
have allowed the vote to go forward, but not under
these circumstances. So this is Mike Johnson just arbitrarily saying no,
we're never going to swear you in.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
No, of course not. But this has to do with
this vote.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And this was a special election where she was elected
last week to replace her dead father.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Democrat in Arizona.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Wells chimpanzee has well, he's got a new Lisa on life.
The ground breaking collaboration between doctors and veterans rans, not veterans, veterinarians.
I don't know what is going on with my brain today.
Saved a chimp at the Knoxville Zoo. So there's a
thirty four year old chimp. They name it Lou. She
(24:13):
started or he started stumbling, and they were worried about
what was going on. So they did an MRI and
found a tumor pressing on the chimp's spinal cord. So
a veterinary neurologist teamed up with a neuro surgeon and
they performed surgery on the chimp and they removed the
vast majority of the tumor, relieving pressure on the spinal cord,
(24:37):
and Lou is on a path to healing, showing signs
of improvement and getting extra love from its handlers.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, Anne, as much as I love you and think
you do a great job and world working you about
this spot is about the thing, you guys.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
This is a chimp. That's amazing. It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And all you guys do is complain about me putting
too many Trump stories in.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's all there. I'm doing this for you. I's stories.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Okay, you know what she didn't say that when they
got the tumor out, the monkey went.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Oh, thank the Lord, that's wonderful. That's been pushing on
my brain.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
All right, so it started. I want you to do
the next story on a three hummed camel.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Okay, hey, this uh, this is good news. I like
the United States Post Office. I think they do a
fabulous job, and they're going to be modernizing their their lobbies.
They've got a bunch of tech stuff coming twenty four
to seven, smart lockers, enhanced self service, Kiosk, rapid drop off,
mobile app, all kinds of stuff, digital streamline stuff. And
(25:45):
I couldn't be more thrilled because I used the Post Office.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
All the time for what certainly not for ropes and
things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
So you use how about the FedEx ups d h oh.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
I will tell you when it comes to when it
comes to their flat right packages, you're.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Not going to get a better price.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Okay, they can put tumors in those packages. Okay, all right,
I think we can do one more before we take
our final break.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
We've got a third high school lockdown in two days,
and guess what they're all In southern California, two high
schools in San Bernardino County were put on lockdown yesterday,
a day after an active shooter threat closed a third
high school campus. The rialto Unified school District. So the
first lockdown happened at Carter High School shortly before eleven fifteen.
(26:40):
Then about twenty minutes later, another post from the district
said that Eisenhower High School was on precautionary lockdown. Unclear
what led to the lockdowns. Also unknown if they were
connected in any way to a third lockdown in the
city that happened the day before.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
So I have a question, since the police have to
be super cautious and react to virtually everything, how do
they determine whether there is credibility to active shooter call
or do they just send out the forces come hell
or high water and ignore even looking at the veracity
(27:19):
of that call. And I don't know the answer to that,
Amy any idea I do not? Okay, excellent, well said, Uh,
this is this is why Amy gets paid the big
bucks and why she's here. I have no idea either,
And they have to because there has to be there
have to be so many of these calls. Now, Uh,
it's yeah, how do you And if they're wrong, someone
(27:41):
gets killed?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Can you imagine? All right, let's just kind of treat
everyone like it, Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, And look at the swat teams comes out with
a swatting call, and look at the resources that are
used and the intrusion on the educational system and how
it's just horrible.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
All right, all right.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is in talks to buy Occidental
petroleums oxy petro chemical business about ten billion bucks with
a bee there, according to people familiar with it. So
it's kind of a big deal. They're largely known for
their oil and gas operations there and the company has
(28:22):
market value around forty six billion and already counts Berkshire
as its largest shareholder.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Anyway, big deal.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You know when Buffett buys something big, it becomes big news.
And unfortunately, here's La County big news, and this happens
more often than not.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I Amy, Yeah, no amount of money is going to
bring this little boy back. But the La County Board
of Supervisors has approved a twenty million dollar settlement in
the death of Noah Quatro. You may remember him. He's
the little boy from Palmdale who was tortured and murdered
by his parents in twenty nineteen. Well, his great grandmother
(29:03):
filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the county in July
of twenty twenty on behalf of Noah's six year old
sister and two brothers who were five and eleven. The
lawsuit says that the Department of Family and Children's Services
failed to carry out an order to remove Quattro from
his parents weeks before he was killed, and that his
murder could have been prevented.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah, and there was evidence there was an order to
remove them, and they just didn't do it. And unfortunately,
well there's all kinds of reasons. They are overloaded, overwork,
social workers, etc. But this was such negligence and of
course we end up those of us who live in
Ally County or those of you who live in Ally
County now end up unfortunately paying The Bill family deserves
(29:46):
every nime, go ahead, he deserves life.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
San Fernando Valley gang members are arrested in a peculiar crime.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It looks like they were allegedly hired.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
For or a murder for a higher plot of an
Armenian organized crime boss. So the Armenian organized crime boss
is forty seven years old, he lives in Hollywood and
has allegedly been in this power struggle going on. And
so it turns out that his wife, I believe, was
(30:21):
actually shot. She's still alive, but she was the one
that was shot and injured in front of their two children.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Authorities saying, yeah, he is crazy. Yeah, here you go.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You have a couple of Armenians and they're screaming at
each other trying to get hold of or trying to
control this district or this area gang area. And one
of them goes, I'm going to kill you the otherwise. No, no,
I'm going to kill you first. No, no, no, I'm
killing you before you kill me. No, that's not true.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You're going to kill me and then I'm going to
kill you. And then I'm going to kill your family.
My family is going to kill you after you kill
my family. What an accent is that? I have no idea?
What the hell I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I have no idea. I just wanted to make a point.
I'm going to what you're bad at. Yeah, I think
we're done, guys. There was a point to that, and
the accent. I should not have used the accent. Probably
it sort of sounded, oh, stopping ray.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Maybe no it was, it wasn't. Amy. Is there a
car chase out there we can talk about?
Speaker 3 (31:25):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
