Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I
am six forty. I know Thanksgiving day and the day
after Thanksgiving it is Neil. I'll tell you exactly, say no,
it's too late to defrost your turkey. Button on, butterball
(00:21):
turkeys aren't worth the damn and do not take your
frozen turkey and put it into a turkey fryer.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Okay, conversation's over.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's your show, and now Handle on the news. Ladies
and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Good good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It is a Wednesday, November twenty sixth Arav Thanksgiving. That's
Hebrew for Arav Thanksgiving. Okay, fair enough. Let me say
good morning because I got a couple of things to
do before we get into the news. Some fun stuff
I want to talk about relating to pastathon as well
(01:03):
as Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
First of all, Neil, good morning, Good morning, Willie Woolf Esquire.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yes, and then Cono, there you are.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'm going around, so.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Good morning, morning, and and good morning, good morning Bill.
And then just below Anne on the monitor is Amy wearing. Uh.
I don't know what you're wearing. I can't read the
logo on your shirt.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's a big D.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
What do you think, big?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
That's a good girl. I don't see Will. Is he around?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
He's not here today. He's taking a couple of days off.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Oh okay, that's why I don't see Will. Fair enough,
Oh all right, the D is.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
For Disneyland bill because we just gave away Moore pack
of tickets.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
No, I understand the days and now as I look
at it, I can see the Disney logo. How they
did the D in such a way as you can
recognize it, but through the camera had a hard time
inside baseball. Okay, a couple of things. First of all,
I'm going to give you news about the auction that
(02:06):
we are holding here for Pastathon. And not only do
we ask you to donate and go to Wendy's go
to Spartan Final and donate there as well as donating
on KFI AM six forty dot com slash Pastathon, but
also the major auction items. And this is where we
all get competitive. Well I don't know, that's not true.
(02:28):
I'm the one that gets competitive here at the station
where if I don't, if I'm not out bid, I
jump off buildings.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Okay, so far I'm going to report.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So far, the backyard barbecue with Bill and Neil private
barbecue that we are going to broadcast and one winter
one winner will be invited to join us and it's
only friends and family, about twenty people there and it'll
be pitmasters and grill masters and food by Anaheim White
(02:59):
House and a seventeen piece set of extraordinary professional chef
knife set. As we're two thousand dollars a years of Zelman's,
I mean it goes on and on. So that has
one bid. Now, I want to make a point here, folks.
I'm the one that bid the one bid just to
get it started. And if you think I'm going to
(03:22):
pay this much money for me to have lunch with me,
you're out of your mind, all right, So let's get started,
all right. And then John Cobelt is doing well. He
has three bids and about ten percent over the initial.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Opening bid, all right, which is pretty good. John's on
his way.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I think last year he did what is it almost
what someone paid seven thousand dollars or nine thousand dollars
for an hour with John Coblt, Garyan Shannon Dodger game.
No busy at Dean and Tina Dodger games. Yes, one
bid coach a coaching meeting with doctor Wendy. No bid,
And I'm surprised that we don't have any bids for
(04:05):
Angel Martinez and her Nazi Sandals.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Okay, now, well you don't have bids for the Nazi Sandals,
but you do have bids for the Nazi Sandals.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It says no bids on the document I have, but
there is a bid. Yeah, oh okay, yeah, I'm just
I'm looking at the website right now. Okay, really early, early,
early days. This thing doesn't heat up until literally the
last few minutes of the auction. So I think the
these initial bids are throwaway bids in the sense of
(04:35):
hoping that no one else gives a damn and people
can get it for the minimum bid. But so far
it's off to a pretty decent start.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
There's a lot of other cool There's the big ones
like your package, which is huge, but there's some other
cool stuff. There's some Taylor Swift signed stuff, and there's
a lot of cool items, so just go on, n I.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Would have put down private dinner with Taylor Swift than
which she will sing after dinner. We should put that
down just for the hell of it and say you know,
and show up, show up and say, you know what,
Taylor Swift canceled unfortunately, but she sends her regrets and
then have her manager handwrite a note that says, I regret.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
How much money do you think that would raise? Huh?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Just still a little bit a Culligan.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Two core water filter.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
M h, there we go.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, but there's some Beats headphones, and there's there's an
Omniplus air Fire which are They're so fun. Looks like
a nice one too. So there's a lot of smaller things.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, and there's some real small stuff, and it's a
way for people to get stuff that they want at
probably below what they would pay, and at the same time,
the money goes to charity.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So it makes it an extraordinary amount.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Of sense, even considering let's say you're in the thirty
percent tax bracket, okay hypothetically, and you're bidding on something
that's one hundred dollars and you are the final bit.
Even if it's worth one hundred and thirty dollars, Well, okay,
you sort of break even. No, it's a deduction. You're
ahead of the game. Okay, somewhere over the rainbow. I
have no idea what that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Means, I don't know, but you make it all gross.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
No, I don't, No, I don't don't. Butterflies, jewels, garden.
I have no idea butterflies have jewels yet very very
small ones, right, I mean they have to just really
almost microscopic.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I would think. Okay, we're done with that, all right,
and so we're going to.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Report on this, especially mine, because I'm about to be
hugely embarrassed. So it's a private barbecue, I hope so. Well,
you're part of it, Neil, private barbecue, Neil and I.
He's broadcasting my house, Reill Masters, pitt Masters, a lot
of food, Anaheim White House, lots of goodies, and wheill
spend the afternoon together and just be the winning bidder?
(07:00):
Bid right now?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'm the winning bidder? Now, how embarrassing is that going
to be?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That I'm the only one willing to pay to spend
the afternoon with me.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It's very depressing.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You didn't bid on that, did you? Of course I did?
Who do you think would bid? Do you think anybody
else would bid for that? You think anybody would spend
real money to spend the afternoon with us?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I would? I'm fun Okay, anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You can go to positive, you can go to kfi
A M six forty dot com and I think there's
a link to pasta fond.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
All right, guys, are you ready to do it?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yes, that's a yes. By the way, that is that
is thank you, it's a yes.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Handle on the news on a Wednesday morning, Amy Neil
and me lend Sorry, it's not a homeless night, it's
just a homeless than a lawsuit Attorney General Rob Bonta,
California Attorney General issuing the Trump administration. Shocker shocker uh,
because the administration is about to or wants to stop
(08:04):
a federal policy change, and the advocates are saying that
could force one hundred and seventy thousand formerly homeless Americans
back on the streets or into shelters. I think the
bottom line, if it's the same money that's being spent,
and it's just being transferred over to another to another
agency or another program, and that is what the administration
(08:26):
says for the most part. There's two kinds of Trump
administration moves. One is waste and fraud, and we're moving
the money over much like the Department of Education that
sort of thing, and then the other one is we
are going to cut stuff like crazy EPA regulations, regulations, volume,
fossil fuels, that sort of thing, OSHA rules, those they
(08:48):
want to just get rid of.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
This is simply this program.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And this is the Continuum of Care program that sends
money to local governments and nonprofits to fight homelessness.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And the administration wants to.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Do away with that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And we don't know if the money is.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Just simply going to disappear or parts of it, or
just policy changes, or it's going to be cut. Oh
here's one amy.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Lifeline. Maybe on the way. The White House is circulating
a proposal to extend Obamacare subsidies for two years. Of
course they're supposed to run out. The subsidies were what
the Democrats dug their heels in. That's why they said
that they were behind that government shutdown. They didn't get
(09:38):
those subsidies extended. But now the White House is saying, yeah,
we might extend them while we work at looking, you know,
on ways to fix Obamacare.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, can you imagine the shutdown? Sorry about that, phone drops.
The shutdown would have been for nought. The Dems said,
we are there, We're willing to shut down the government
based on the fact that we want those Obamacare extensions
and Republicans though, we're not going to talk about it
until we get the shut down.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, in reality, maybe the Republicans are right.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
They're being forced to talk about it and extend the
Obamacare subsidies. This is where I think the Trump administration
Republicans are realizing they've got an uphill battle. They allow
these subsidies to fall apart or they are going to
sunset at the end of the year, and if there
isn't a replacement, the political backlash is going to be
(10:32):
extraordinary and it's going to cost them real strong politically.
For example, the administration's position prices have dropped. You're paying
less money to live than you were when Joe Biden
was president.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Why was the sunset written into it? Anyways, A lot.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Of laws have sunsets. A lot of laws have sunsets
because they just do. Because what happens is.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So it was written with the knowledge that if yeah,
well now with two things.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
When we're written with a knowledge that it does sunset,
but it never does sunset. Laws have a way of
being extended. And then there are parts of the legislators
Republicans that didn't like it in the first place, but
they voted in favor of it. If it's sunset, it say, Okay,
we don't like it, but as long as it's only
good for two years, or three years, or five years,
sometimes ten years, will allow it to happen. So those
(11:24):
are the reasons that sunset laws are passed for political purposes,
and so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
There are some exceptions here.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
In terms of the amount of money that you have
to earn in order to qualify for Obamacare subsidies. But
for the most part, it looks like the Republicans are
realizing this is one hot hot potato that if twenty
million people lose their insurance, that's not going to be
a good thing, especially for the midterms.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Hey, something Trump doesn't like.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You might get probed ew FBI probing Democrats ew so
lawmakers who appear in social media videos. We talked about
this a little bit yesterday, as far as Democratic Senator
Mark Kelly of Arizona that the FBI has contacted them
(12:17):
and begins scheduling interviews and inqurees into the matter. Of course,
President Donald Trump accused the lawmakers of sedition and said
it is punishable by death.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, now that's an interesting one. First of all, the
FBI and the Pentagon are investigating them, and I don't
know what they're to investigate.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Did you do this, yep, I sure did. Here's the
video that I did. You say that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Members of the military should not follow orders that are illegal?
Yep I said that. Okay, in investigation over, I don't
know what else they can do. Now this one gets
really interesting and I want to spend just a minute
talking about it. They are accused of sedition, which is
aiding or betting the overthrow of the United States of
(13:03):
America right or becoming well, are accused of aligning themselves
with the enemy of the United States.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And so what they said is do.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Not follow You cannot follow orders if you're in the military,
if they are illegal orders. It's all they said. Didn't
say anything else. So they're being prosecuted your honor. I
don't know if they call military judges your honor, but
your military board. And you have an army who is
now prosecuting only Mark Kelly because he's the one that
(13:38):
can be brought up because he can be reinstated. But
he's the only one that would be subject to a
court martial.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Did you say this? Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I did?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And is this sedition? O?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, let me quote from the Uniform Code of Military Justice,
which is law which says that a soldier must not
follow in illegal order. They quoted from the Uniform Code
of Military Justice.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Now, what does the judge say to that. I don't
believe the quote? Well here it is right here. See
on the board. It's going to be a tough row.
Are they going to court martial him? Of course not.
And the argument is going to be if you say anything,
no matter if it's legal or not, and you're against
(14:27):
the president or the administration, you are going to get
nailed if you do overthrow the government or try to
for the purpose of putting in administration without elections. That works, fine,
That is not sedition. But telling people legally, for example,
you must follow the constitution and in this case, if
(14:48):
you are ordered to do something illegal by the military,
you must not do it. Now, the devil's in the details.
Who decides what's illegal and what is not? And can
you be tried for doing something that should be illegal
or has been determined to be Yeah, But simply saying
simply quoting from the law that sedition anyway, that's I
(15:14):
find this fascinating. So this is all going to go
no place. By the way, it's all political posturing. I
guarantee you all right, moving ahead. Sorry, I took a
lot of time on that.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It's about to cost a lot more to spend the
day out in nature. Starting January first, non residents without
an annual pass are going to pay one hundred dollars
per person fee to get into eleven of the most
visited national parks, in additional to the standard entrance fee.
Interior Secretary Doug Bergham says these policies ensure that US taxpayers,
(15:50):
who already support the national park system continue to enjoy
affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to
maintaining and improving our parks for future generations.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Well, it's going to be a little stiff for a
lot of people. Big sign up there, one hundred dollars feet.
Pretend it's just a cheaper Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
But so it's not for US residents. It's really international
foreign residents.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But foreign residents are still going to pay one.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Hundred bucks a person to get into a national parks.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, that's for that's for non residents.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's for people who are not I think is it
non residence I guess of the United States. Yeah, yeah,
I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I thought it was like non residents of states. But
it looks like in region international parks.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, these are national parks in certain parks in some
parts doesn't don't don't cost you a dying to get in.
Only the ones that are the most the most popular
are the ones that cost you money to get in.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Some parts you need reservations to get into.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I think you still do. Are you at one point
needed to have reservations for Yosemite?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Uh? I think there are, Well, there are several parks
that you do need reservations that are overrun with people.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
All right, So fifteen dollars or fifteen percent rather budget
increases what the LA Fire Department is requesting. They're looking
over to their budget of more than one billion for
the coming year, and they have a legitimate argument they
need the additional fund funding because wildfires. It's like the
(17:22):
one that we saw in January with Pacific Palisades and
of course eatn Area.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's basically insurance. You pay for insurance and a billion
dollars extra, I mean, is a bucket of money. Well,
they want a billion total for the coming year, and
that includes a fifteen percent increase. A lot of money
can afford it until a fire hits. Then all of
a sudden, gee, we wish we had always.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Going to be more expensive. If you don't have it,
no kidding.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You spend a fortune on your home insurance, fire insurance,
a lot of money until your house burns down. Then
it's not a lot of money. And that's the case.
Although where is the city got to get the money?
There ain't no money to get here, so it's a
you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Well, there's tons of money for the homeless that haven't
been spent properly.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
So can't we dig into that. Well, you say it
hasn't been spent properly? Are you talking?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Has been spent properly?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You talk to the homeless advocates and the only issue
with the issue the homeless population is you haven't spent
enough money.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
That's the only problem. Not to mention they're lighting a
good number of the fires.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Uh went only for heat.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Because they're not getting enough money for their heating systems.
Because you know how expensive to heat up a tent
is in the winter.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Oh and it's my turn. Okay, so poor people apparently
love soup. This is interesting. So Robert Garza was a
cybersecurity analyst for the Campbell Suit Company. It's now Campbell's company.
It used to be Campbell Soup Company. He filed a
racial discrimination and racial harassment lawsuit. He alleges that during
(19:10):
a meeting last November with a company's vice president of
information technology that Martin Bally, the executive, said that Campbell's
food is highly processed food for poor people. And then
he went on and apparently said some expletives and said
I don't eat that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, that's the lawsuit. But there's a recording. There's a recording.
I wait a second, I don't get it. How is
that racist?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Well, because it says it's for poor people, so apparently
they assume that all poor people.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Okay, the racism is about Indian workers at the company.
He made a reference to Indian workers.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh, he called them idiots, yeah, and said he didn't
like working with Indians.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Right, Ah, Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
He said, I don't buy efine Campbell's products barely anymore.
And I love this. He went on to say, when
he looks at a can of Campbell's soup, he thinks
it contains bio engin near meat. Best quote I have
heard in a long time. I don't eat an f
n piece of chicken that came from a three D printer?
Do you now? That is? If you look at a
(20:11):
can of campbell soup under ingredients there it is parts
of a three D printer right on the soup. So
at least they're being honest about it. They're not coming
from a three D printer.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Also, it's is this soup regional?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know certain parts of the country, like Costco sells
regional soup, So in the South, for example, it's a
possum soup, but the possum is past its due date.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Road kill possum. Never mind, that didn't work.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, like a regular like fresh fresh possum.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, fresh road kill possum is allowed, but three week
old road kill possum is not. Moving on.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
We have slowly moved ourselves away from the addiction of tobacco,
only to be let down another path. And this is
meta YouTube, TikTok and snapchat apparently knew exactly how addictive
their platforms can be to teens, and they target the
teams anyway. So these allegations come from a group of
(21:16):
school districts and they are putting together a lawsuit against
the social media giants.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And this happened. This comes from.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Insights that the companies have internal documentation that these site
new were problematic and that they knew that Instagram and
the like are a drug, and they're basically pushing them yes.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Like big young people. It's like big.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Tobacco saying that nicotine is okay for you. We're gonna
have a story about this is seven fifty, by the way,
and we're going to try something that's going to be
kind of fun. I'm going to go on there and
start a chat with one of these I guess characters
that the AI program creates, and we're going to see
(22:06):
I'm gonna sort of pretend I'm a teenager.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well I don't even have to pretend.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
But this has nothing to do with AI. This is
no it's all about AI.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's not about AI.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It's all about about the It's all it's about the algorithm.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Because this predates the use of AI.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Oh you know these are AI companions that are created
by this company character dot Ai.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And that is the problem in there, confusing different stories.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
This this story is not about that.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Okay, never mind, Well anyway, we're gonna do it anyway. Okay,
how unusual I'm confusing, confusing different stories. Okay, fair enough.
So I got very excited about our story.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
At seven fifty. Never mind, everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
You want wonder why it's at five grand? Go ahead, Okay,
moving ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
People might not like organized religion, but they apparently still believe.
Bible sales up eleven percent this year over twenty twenty four,
part of a continuing boom in Bible sales. Sales have
been increasing since twenty twenty one, and that includes two
point four million Bibles sold in September of this year
as part of a surge coinciding with the assassination of
(23:22):
conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah. That's almost counterint itve, isn't it. Organized religion is decreasing,
But then again, organized religion religion in itself, I don't
think is decreasing. Although Neil, this is your wheelhouse. Are
we seeing more and more people that are not religious
at all? Not Bible religious. They believe in spirituality and
(23:49):
dancing around bushes and hanging on to each other and
singing kumbaya.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Whatever spiritual people do, people will always buy the Bible.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I think that there were more religious than ever, just
not God focused. We're religious in our politics, were religious
in other thoughts and things that we do. But the
Bible has always been kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It doesn't and the sales of Bibles have been growing.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
I mean it's people read what they want and they
leave out what they want, and so it doesn't matter.
Or is w C Fields you say, looking for loopholes,
Looking for loopholes.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, giant pink, giant print, King James version is a
gift Bible m.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
King Jimmy popular guy.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Okay, finally, it's illegal to kill women in Italy.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Why is that a headline, he's not quite the headline. Well,
it's just a few kill women.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's an enhanced crime femicide, and that gives you life
in prison. I've it's like infanticide, killing of children.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, but isn't it just killing a person?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Is not? No?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Not no no no.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
For example, if I kill you and there's a racial
racial component, there's a hate crime. That's an enhanced version.
It's beyond just the initial crime. It's more so. And
so this is femicide now in terms of gay people,
that has always been enhanced version. You know, homocide, it's
(25:31):
always been a crime.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Mm if if they're effeminate, would it be a femiscide, Well.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
It is, it's femoside.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Oh you're saying if the the people commit homocide.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Also, Italy's parliament yesterday approved this law.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
So yeah, I don't think there's ever been a Yeah,
first time I've heard of this.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Killing is wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Well, now it's beyond that because women are treated the
way they're treated. I mean women are not treated well
societally speaking, and from the United States where it's just
straight out discrimination to other places in the world where
women are truly chattel, they are simply property. And this
coincides with the International Day for the International for the
(26:23):
Elimination of Violence against Women, which is a big deal
the issue of violence against women.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
In Italy.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Italy happens to be the country that's doing this. Yeah,
but is do they have a problem. I think every
country has a problem. Ask a woman out there, you know, Well,
let me ask amy, do you think there's a problem
about women being treated.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Differently than men.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
In what regard in general just women or not. Men
are given advantage of women and across the board, and
in this case we're talking about criminally speaking, but just
in general, women just aren't treated the same.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That's that's a given at least I think. So do
you agree or disagree? Sure, thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That helps a lot and I would agree with that,
thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Oh no, No, you pretend to be a woman most
much of the time, and what.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
You're feeling not that there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay, all right, that's enough of that.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
San Clementi has come up with a way to save
its beaches. They want to use nature based solutions. So
a plan has been presented to city officials to figure
out how to address the shrinking shoreline. So they want
to make a man made surf break. The councils voting
(27:51):
on it or voted on it to submit the final report.
But what does it actually say to do They just
they want to put more sand in.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, it's a little technical, I think, but they call
it opportunistic sand that comes in and looking for and
it goes out. Yeah, and it looks goes out and
goes in from what I understand, and trying to keep
it in. It goes in, they don't let it out.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's uh.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
They should call it the opportunistic severe tire damage philosophy
of sand. You can go in one way, but you
can't go out the other way. You know, the tire
damage little signs, you know, those little spikes that go
into parking lots.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Oh sure, yeah, do not back up.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
See, there's the analogy there.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
You gore cubic yards of sand a year, okay, placed
on the shoreline.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
All right, So you have airline workers but not pilots.
You've got the catering folks that allege unsafe conditions their work,
and they're protesting near La X.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Now this is.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Pretty big time to be protesting there at the airport
because you've got a holiday going down.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Do you think people would mind if.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
If caterers, the food people on planes don't show up.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh yeah, well then you would just you just would.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
And they're not on planes with people that produce the
meals on the plane. You can fly with you know,
I mean, it's not fun, but it can give you well,
actually they do give you these little bags of peanuts
and that's your food. But these are the people that
work for the companies in this particular company, catering companies
that supply food the meals.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Very hard work and I'm just implying it's not always
the best.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
But yeah, I know, I understand. And the companies called
the flying Food Group, and that's a reference to the
food itself flying out of your mouth. I wouldn't call
it flying food group. That's not a good name for
a company. And you don't want the pilots, and you
don't want the pilots to eat that food if it's
flying food. Anyway, they're striking or they're alleging unsafe working conditions.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Could raccoons be the next cats? So apparently, urban raccoons
may be evolving a shorter snout, which is a key
physical trait of pets and other domesticated animals. It could
be the first signs of domestication in its earliest stages.
Wouldn't that be fun?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I love raccoons almost.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
They are so cute.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
When they claw your eyeballs out of your face. That's
all they do is say hello.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Don't used to too?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I tell people that rescue animals and raccoons and they
are mean.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I know, but they're saying, this could be the first
stage of domestication. We won't be around to see it.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I mean, you know, this is hundreds of thousands of
years and we can't actually see it now.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
If you look at it, look at your small toe.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
And if I heard scientists talk about your small toe
which is now evolving into the other toe as it
sort of creeping together because we don't run as much
as we do. We don't go for days and days
where we needed all of our toes, and it's just
we are evolving, by the way. I just made that
up one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh I thought it was because it was going we
we we we we all.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
No, Actually, I actually I have read that that's part
of evolution.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Oh we're losing a toe.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, that the small toe is no longer needed the
way the big the way it used to be in
terms of gripping the soil and running and hunting for food.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I have read that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Now where I've read it, I don't remember. Is it
the way I read it, I don't remember. Is it
factually based, I don't remember. But it sounded good. At
the time it's.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Gonna happen, probably about the time those raccoons are domesticated.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
See there you go, and raccoons will have toes instead
of those claws that rip your eyeballs out. See, it's
at all times together, I'm telling you, all of it
comes together. Yeah, it is the circle of life.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That you know that they their hands are so sensitive
that when they get them wet, they can almost see
things with their fingers. Raccoons, Yeah, what they can see
things with their fingers.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well, I can see things. Here's the where well, well
you can see things with my finger.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
That's a different finger, sir, And I appreciate if you
point that towards Amy or Ann.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
We're done, guys, KF I am sixty.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
You've been listening to The Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
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. I know Thanksgiving day and the day
after Thanksgiving it is Neil. I'll tell you exactly, say no,
it's too late to defrost your turkey. Button on, butterball
(00:21):
turkeys aren't worth the damn and do not take your
frozen turkey and put it into a turkey fryer.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Okay, conversation's over.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That's your show, and now Handle on the news. Ladies
and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Good good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It is a Wednesday, November twenty sixth Arav Thanksgiving. That's
Hebrew for Arav Thanksgiving. Okay, fair enough. Let me say
good morning because I got a couple of things to
do before we get into the news. Some fun stuff
I want to talk about relating to pastathon as well
(01:03):
as Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
First of all, Neil, good morning, Good morning, Willie Woolf Esquire.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yes, and then Cono, there you are.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I'm going around, so.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Good morning, morning, and and good morning, good morning Bill.
And then just below Anne on the monitor is Amy wearing. Uh.
I don't know what you're wearing. I can't read the
logo on your shirt.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It's a big D.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
What do you think, big?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
That's a good girl. I don't see Will. Is he around?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
He's not here today. He's taking a couple of days off.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Oh okay, that's why I don't see Will. Fair enough,
Oh all right, the D is.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
For Disneyland bill because we just gave away Moore pack
of tickets.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
No, I understand the days and now as I look
at it, I can see the Disney logo. How they
did the D in such a way as you can
recognize it, but through the camera had a hard time
inside baseball. Okay, a couple of things. First of all,
I'm going to give you news about the auction that
(02:06):
we are holding here for Pastathon. And not only do
we ask you to donate and go to Wendy's go
to Spartan Final and donate there as well as donating
on KFI AM six forty dot com slash Pastathon, but
also the major auction items. And this is where we
all get competitive. Well I don't know, that's not true.
(02:28):
I'm the one that gets competitive here at the station
where if I don't, if I'm not out bid, I
jump off buildings.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Okay, so far I'm going to report.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So far, the backyard barbecue with Bill and Neil private
barbecue that we are going to broadcast and one winter
one winner will be invited to join us and it's
only friends and family, about twenty people there and it'll
be pitmasters and grill masters and food by Anaheim White
(02:59):
House and a seventeen piece set of extraordinary professional chef
knife set. As we're two thousand dollars a years of Zelman's,
I mean it goes on and on. So that has
one bid. Now, I want to make a point here, folks.
I'm the one that bid the one bid just to
get it started. And if you think I'm going to
(03:22):
pay this much money for me to have lunch with me,
you're out of your mind, all right, So let's get started,
all right. And then John Cobelt is doing well. He
has three bids and about ten percent over the initial.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Opening bid, all right, which is pretty good. John's on
his way.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I think last year he did what is it almost
what someone paid seven thousand dollars or nine thousand dollars
for an hour with John Coblt, Garyan Shannon Dodger game.
No busy at Dean and Tina Dodger games. Yes, one
bid coach a coaching meeting with doctor Wendy. No bid,
And I'm surprised that we don't have any bids for
(04:05):
Angel Martinez and her Nazi Sandals.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Okay, now, well you don't have bids for the Nazi Sandals,
but you do have bids for the Nazi Sandals.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It says no bids on the document I have, but
there is a bid. Yeah, oh okay, yeah, I'm just
I'm looking at the website right now. Okay, really early, early,
early days. This thing doesn't heat up until literally the
last few minutes of the auction. So I think the
these initial bids are throwaway bids in the sense of
(04:35):
hoping that no one else gives a damn and people
can get it for the minimum bid. But so far
it's off to a pretty decent start.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
There's a lot of other cool There's the big ones
like your package, which is huge, but there's some other
cool stuff. There's some Taylor Swift signed stuff, and there's
a lot of cool items, so just go on, n I.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Would have put down private dinner with Taylor Swift than
which she will sing after dinner. We should put that
down just for the hell of it and say you know,
and show up, show up and say, you know what,
Taylor Swift canceled unfortunately, but she sends her regrets and
then have her manager handwrite a note that says, I regret.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
How much money do you think that would raise? Huh?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Just still a little bit a Culligan.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Two core water filter.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
M h, there we go.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, but there's some Beats headphones, and there's there's an
Omniplus air Fire which are They're so fun. Looks like
a nice one too. So there's a lot of smaller things.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, and there's some real small stuff, and it's a
way for people to get stuff that they want at
probably below what they would pay, and at the same time,
the money goes to charity.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So it makes it an extraordinary amount.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Of sense, even considering let's say you're in the thirty
percent tax bracket, okay hypothetically, and you're bidding on something
that's one hundred dollars and you are the final bit.
Even if it's worth one hundred and thirty dollars, Well, okay,
you sort of break even. No, it's a deduction. You're
ahead of the game. Okay, somewhere over the rainbow. I
have no idea what that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Means, I don't know, but you make it all gross.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
No, I don't, No, I don't don't. Butterflies, jewels, garden.
I have no idea butterflies have jewels yet very very
small ones, right, I mean they have to just really
almost microscopic.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I would think. Okay, we're done with that, all right,
and so we're going to.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Report on this, especially mine, because I'm about to be
hugely embarrassed. So it's a private barbecue, I hope so. Well,
you're part of it, Neil, private barbecue, Neil and I.
He's broadcasting my house, Reill Masters, pitt Masters, a lot
of food, Anaheim White House, lots of goodies, and wheill
spend the afternoon together and just be the winning bidder?
(07:00):
Bid right now?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I'm the winning bidder? Now, how embarrassing is that going
to be?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
That I'm the only one willing to pay to spend
the afternoon with me.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
It's very depressing.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You didn't bid on that, did you? Of course I did?
Who do you think would bid? Do you think anybody
else would bid for that? You think anybody would spend
real money to spend the afternoon with us?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I would? I'm fun Okay, anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You can go to positive, you can go to kfi
A M six forty dot com and I think there's
a link to pasta fond.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
All right, guys, are you ready to do it?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yes, that's a yes. By the way, that is that
is thank you, it's a yes.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
All right.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Handle on the news on a Wednesday morning, Amy Neil
and me lend Sorry, it's not a homeless night, it's
just a homeless than a lawsuit Attorney General Rob Bonta,
California Attorney General issuing the Trump administration. Shocker shocker uh,
because the administration is about to or wants to stop
(08:04):
a federal policy change, and the advocates are saying that
could force one hundred and seventy thousand formerly homeless Americans
back on the streets or into shelters. I think the
bottom line, if it's the same money that's being spent,
and it's just being transferred over to another to another
agency or another program, and that is what the administration
(08:26):
says for the most part. There's two kinds of Trump
administration moves. One is waste and fraud, and we're moving
the money over much like the Department of Education that
sort of thing, and then the other one is we
are going to cut stuff like crazy EPA regulations, regulations, volume,
fossil fuels, that sort of thing, OSHA rules, those they
(08:48):
want to just get rid of.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
This is simply this program.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
And this is the Continuum of Care program that sends
money to local governments and nonprofits to fight homelessness.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And the administration wants to.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Do away with that.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
And we don't know if the money is.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Just simply going to disappear or parts of it, or
just policy changes, or it's going to be cut. Oh
here's one amy.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Lifeline. Maybe on the way. The White House is circulating
a proposal to extend Obamacare subsidies for two years. Of
course they're supposed to run out. The subsidies were what
the Democrats dug their heels in. That's why they said
that they were behind that government shutdown. They didn't get
(09:38):
those subsidies extended. But now the White House is saying, yeah,
we might extend them while we work at looking, you know,
on ways to fix Obamacare.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Now, can you imagine the shutdown? Sorry about that, phone drops.
The shutdown would have been for nought. The Dems said,
we are there, We're willing to shut down the government
based on the fact that we want those Obamacare extensions
and Republicans though, we're not going to talk about it
until we get the shut down.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, in reality, maybe the Republicans are right.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
They're being forced to talk about it and extend the
Obamacare subsidies. This is where I think the Trump administration
Republicans are realizing they've got an uphill battle. They allow
these subsidies to fall apart or they are going to
sunset at the end of the year, and if there
isn't a replacement, the political backlash is going to be
(10:32):
extraordinary and it's going to cost them real strong politically.
For example, the administration's position prices have dropped. You're paying
less money to live than you were when Joe Biden
was president.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Why was the sunset written into it? Anyways, A lot.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Of laws have sunsets. A lot of laws have sunsets
because they just do. Because what happens is.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So it was written with the knowledge that if yeah,
well now with two things.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
When we're written with a knowledge that it does sunset,
but it never does sunset. Laws have a way of
being extended. And then there are parts of the legislators
Republicans that didn't like it in the first place, but
they voted in favor of it. If it's sunset, it say, Okay,
we don't like it, but as long as it's only
good for two years, or three years, or five years,
sometimes ten years, will allow it to happen. So those
(11:24):
are the reasons that sunset laws are passed for political purposes,
and so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
There are some exceptions here.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
In terms of the amount of money that you have
to earn in order to qualify for Obamacare subsidies. But
for the most part, it looks like the Republicans are
realizing this is one hot hot potato that if twenty
million people lose their insurance, that's not going to be
a good thing, especially for the midterms.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Hey, something Trump doesn't like.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You might get probed ew FBI probing Democrats ew so
lawmakers who appear in social media videos. We talked about
this a little bit yesterday, as far as Democratic Senator
Mark Kelly of Arizona that the FBI has contacted them
(12:17):
and begins scheduling interviews and inqurees into the matter. Of course,
President Donald Trump accused the lawmakers of sedition and said
it is punishable by death.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, now that's an interesting one. First of all, the
FBI and the Pentagon are investigating them, and I don't
know what they're to investigate.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Did you do this, yep, I sure did. Here's the
video that I did. You say that.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Members of the military should not follow orders that are illegal?
Yep I said that. Okay, in investigation over, I don't
know what else they can do. Now this one gets
really interesting and I want to spend just a minute
talking about it. They are accused of sedition, which is
aiding or betting the overthrow of the United States of
(13:03):
America right or becoming well, are accused of aligning themselves
with the enemy of the United States.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
And so what they said is do.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Not follow You cannot follow orders if you're in the military,
if they are illegal orders. It's all they said. Didn't
say anything else. So they're being prosecuted your honor. I
don't know if they call military judges your honor, but
your military board. And you have an army who is
now prosecuting only Mark Kelly because he's the one that
(13:38):
can be brought up because he can be reinstated. But
he's the only one that would be subject to a
court martial.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Did you say this? Yes?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I did?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
And is this sedition? O?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, let me quote from the Uniform Code of Military Justice,
which is law which says that a soldier must not
follow in illegal order. They quoted from the Uniform Code
of Military Justice.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Now, what does the judge say to that. I don't
believe the quote? Well here it is right here. See
on the board. It's going to be a tough row.
Are they going to court martial him? Of course not.
And the argument is going to be if you say anything,
no matter if it's legal or not, and you're against
(14:27):
the president or the administration, you are going to get
nailed if you do overthrow the government or try to
for the purpose of putting in administration without elections. That works, fine,
That is not sedition. But telling people legally, for example,
you must follow the constitution and in this case, if
(14:48):
you are ordered to do something illegal by the military,
you must not do it. Now, the devil's in the details.
Who decides what's illegal and what is not? And can
you be tried for doing something that should be illegal
or has been determined to be Yeah, But simply saying
simply quoting from the law that sedition anyway, that's I
(15:14):
find this fascinating. So this is all going to go
no place. By the way, it's all political posturing. I
guarantee you all right, moving ahead. Sorry, I took a
lot of time on that.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
It's about to cost a lot more to spend the
day out in nature. Starting January first, non residents without
an annual pass are going to pay one hundred dollars
per person fee to get into eleven of the most
visited national parks, in additional to the standard entrance fee.
Interior Secretary Doug Bergham says these policies ensure that US taxpayers,
(15:50):
who already support the national park system continue to enjoy
affordable access, while international visitors contribute their fair share to
maintaining and improving our parks for future generations.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Well, it's going to be a little stiff for a
lot of people. Big sign up there, one hundred dollars feet.
Pretend it's just a cheaper Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
But so it's not for US residents. It's really international
foreign residents.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But foreign residents are still going to pay one.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Hundred bucks a person to get into a national parks.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, that's for that's for non residents.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's for people who are not I think is it
non residence I guess of the United States. Yeah, yeah,
I thought it was.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I thought it was like non residents of states. But
it looks like in region international parks.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, these are national parks in certain parks in some
parts doesn't don't don't cost you a dying to get in.
Only the ones that are the most the most popular
are the ones that cost you money to get in.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Some parts you need reservations to get into.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I think you still do. Are you at one point
needed to have reservations for Yosemite?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Uh? I think there are, Well, there are several parks
that you do need reservations that are overrun with people.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
All right, So fifteen dollars or fifteen percent rather budget
increases what the LA Fire Department is requesting. They're looking
over to their budget of more than one billion for
the coming year, and they have a legitimate argument they
need the additional fund funding because wildfires. It's like the
(17:22):
one that we saw in January with Pacific Palisades and
of course eatn Area.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
It's basically insurance. You pay for insurance and a billion
dollars extra, I mean, is a bucket of money. Well,
they want a billion total for the coming year, and
that includes a fifteen percent increase. A lot of money
can afford it until a fire hits. Then all of
a sudden, gee, we wish we had always.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Going to be more expensive. If you don't have it,
no kidding.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You spend a fortune on your home insurance, fire insurance,
a lot of money until your house burns down. Then
it's not a lot of money. And that's the case.
Although where is the city got to get the money?
There ain't no money to get here, so it's a
you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Well, there's tons of money for the homeless that haven't
been spent properly.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
So can't we dig into that. Well, you say it
hasn't been spent properly? Are you talking?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Has been spent properly?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You talk to the homeless advocates and the only issue
with the issue the homeless population is you haven't spent
enough money.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
That's the only problem. Not to mention they're lighting a
good number of the fires.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Uh went only for heat.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Because they're not getting enough money for their heating systems.
Because you know how expensive to heat up a tent
is in the winter.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Oh and it's my turn. Okay, so poor people apparently
love soup. This is interesting. So Robert Garza was a
cybersecurity analyst for the Campbell Suit Company. It's now Campbell's company.
It used to be Campbell Soup Company. He filed a
racial discrimination and racial harassment lawsuit. He alleges that during
(19:10):
a meeting last November with a company's vice president of
information technology that Martin Bally, the executive, said that Campbell's
food is highly processed food for poor people. And then
he went on and apparently said some expletives and said
I don't eat that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, that's the lawsuit. But there's a recording. There's a recording.
I wait a second, I don't get it. How is
that racist?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Well, because it says it's for poor people, so apparently
they assume that all poor people.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Okay, the racism is about Indian workers at the company.
He made a reference to Indian workers.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Oh, he called them idiots, yeah, and said he didn't
like working with Indians.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Right, Ah, Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
He said, I don't buy efine Campbell's products barely anymore.
And I love this. He went on to say, when
he looks at a can of Campbell's soup, he thinks
it contains bio engin near meat. Best quote I have
heard in a long time. I don't eat an f
n piece of chicken that came from a three D printer?
Do you now? That is? If you look at a
(20:11):
can of campbell soup under ingredients there it is parts
of a three D printer right on the soup. So
at least they're being honest about it. They're not coming
from a three D printer.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Also, it's is this soup regional?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
You know certain parts of the country, like Costco sells
regional soup, So in the South, for example, it's a
possum soup, but the possum is past its due date.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Road kill possum. Never mind, that didn't work.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, like a regular like fresh fresh possum.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, fresh road kill possum is allowed, but three week
old road kill possum is not. Moving on.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
We have slowly moved ourselves away from the addiction of tobacco,
only to be let down another path. And this is
meta YouTube, TikTok and snapchat apparently knew exactly how addictive
their platforms can be to teens, and they target the
teams anyway. So these allegations come from a group of
(21:16):
school districts and they are putting together a lawsuit against
the social media giants.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And this happened. This comes from.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Insights that the companies have internal documentation that these site
new were problematic and that they knew that Instagram and
the like are a drug, and they're basically pushing them yes.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Like big young people. It's like big.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Tobacco saying that nicotine is okay for you. We're gonna
have a story about this is seven fifty, by the way,
and we're going to try something that's going to be
kind of fun. I'm going to go on there and
start a chat with one of these I guess characters
that the AI program creates, and we're going to see
(22:06):
I'm gonna sort of pretend I'm a teenager.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Well I don't even have to pretend.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
But this has nothing to do with AI. This is
no it's all about AI.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's not about AI.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It's all about about the It's all it's about the algorithm.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Because this predates the use of AI.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Oh you know these are AI companions that are created
by this company character dot Ai.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And that is the problem in there, confusing different stories.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
This this story is not about that.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Okay, never mind, Well anyway, we're gonna do it anyway. Okay,
how unusual I'm confusing, confusing different stories. Okay, fair enough.
So I got very excited about our story.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
At seven fifty. Never mind, everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
You want wonder why it's at five grand? Go ahead, Okay,
moving ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
People might not like organized religion, but they apparently still believe.
Bible sales up eleven percent this year over twenty twenty four,
part of a continuing boom in Bible sales. Sales have
been increasing since twenty twenty one, and that includes two
point four million Bibles sold in September of this year
as part of a surge coinciding with the assassination of
(23:22):
conservative Christian activist Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah. That's almost counterint itve, isn't it. Organized religion is decreasing,
But then again, organized religion religion in itself, I don't
think is decreasing. Although Neil, this is your wheelhouse. Are
we seeing more and more people that are not religious
at all? Not Bible religious. They believe in spirituality and
(23:49):
dancing around bushes and hanging on to each other and
singing kumbaya.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Whatever spiritual people do, people will always buy the Bible.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I think that there were more religious than ever, just
not God focused. We're religious in our politics, were religious
in other thoughts and things that we do. But the
Bible has always been kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It doesn't and the sales of Bibles have been growing.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
I mean it's people read what they want and they
leave out what they want, and so it doesn't matter.
Or is w C Fields you say, looking for loopholes,
Looking for loopholes.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Yeah, giant pink, giant print, King James version is a
gift Bible m.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
King Jimmy popular guy.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Okay, finally, it's illegal to kill women in Italy.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Why is that a headline, he's not quite the headline. Well,
it's just a few kill women.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's an enhanced crime femicide, and that gives you life
in prison. I've it's like infanticide, killing of children.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah, but isn't it just killing a person?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Is not? No?
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Not no no no.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
For example, if I kill you and there's a racial
racial component, there's a hate crime. That's an enhanced version.
It's beyond just the initial crime. It's more so. And
so this is femicide now in terms of gay people,
that has always been enhanced version. You know, homocide, it's
(25:31):
always been a crime.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Mm if if they're effeminate, would it be a femiscide, Well.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
It is, it's femoside.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Oh you're saying if the the people commit homocide.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Also, Italy's parliament yesterday approved this law.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
So yeah, I don't think there's ever been a Yeah,
first time I've heard of this.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Killing is wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Well, now it's beyond that because women are treated the
way they're treated. I mean women are not treated well
societally speaking, and from the United States where it's just
straight out discrimination to other places in the world where
women are truly chattel, they are simply property. And this
coincides with the International Day for the International for the
(26:23):
Elimination of Violence against Women, which is a big deal
the issue of violence against women.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
In Italy.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Italy happens to be the country that's doing this. Yeah,
but is do they have a problem. I think every
country has a problem. Ask a woman out there, you know, Well,
let me ask amy, do you think there's a problem
about women being treated.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Differently than men.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
In what regard in general just women or not. Men
are given advantage of women and across the board, and
in this case we're talking about criminally speaking, but just
in general, women just aren't treated the same.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
That's that's a given at least I think. So do
you agree or disagree? Sure, thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That helps a lot and I would agree with that,
thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Oh no, No, you pretend to be a woman most
much of the time, and what.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
You're feeling not that there's anything wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay, all right, that's enough of that.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
San Clementi has come up with a way to save
its beaches. They want to use nature based solutions. So
a plan has been presented to city officials to figure
out how to address the shrinking shoreline. So they want
to make a man made surf break. The councils voting
(27:51):
on it or voted on it to submit the final report.
But what does it actually say to do They just
they want to put more sand in.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, it's a little technical, I think, but they call
it opportunistic sand that comes in and looking for and
it goes out. Yeah, and it looks goes out and
goes in from what I understand, and trying to keep
it in. It goes in, they don't let it out.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
It's uh.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
They should call it the opportunistic severe tire damage philosophy
of sand. You can go in one way, but you
can't go out the other way. You know, the tire
damage little signs, you know, those little spikes that go
into parking lots.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Oh sure, yeah, do not back up.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's what I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
See, there's the analogy there.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
You gore cubic yards of sand a year, okay, placed
on the shoreline.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
All right, So you have airline workers but not pilots.
You've got the catering folks that allege unsafe conditions their work,
and they're protesting near La X.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Now this is.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Pretty big time to be protesting there at the airport
because you've got a holiday going down.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Do you think people would mind if.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
If caterers, the food people on planes don't show up.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh yeah, well then you would just you just would.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
And they're not on planes with people that produce the
meals on the plane. You can fly with you know,
I mean, it's not fun, but it can give you well,
actually they do give you these little bags of peanuts
and that's your food. But these are the people that
work for the companies in this particular company, catering companies
that supply food the meals.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Very hard work and I'm just implying it's not always
the best.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
But yeah, I know, I understand. And the companies called
the flying Food Group, and that's a reference to the
food itself flying out of your mouth. I wouldn't call
it flying food group. That's not a good name for
a company. And you don't want the pilots, and you
don't want the pilots to eat that food if it's
flying food. Anyway, they're striking or they're alleging unsafe working conditions.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Could raccoons be the next cats? So apparently, urban raccoons
may be evolving a shorter snout, which is a key
physical trait of pets and other domesticated animals. It could
be the first signs of domestication in its earliest stages.
Wouldn't that be fun?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I love raccoons almost.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
They are so cute.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
When they claw your eyeballs out of your face. That's
all they do is say hello.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Don't used to too?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I tell people that rescue animals and raccoons and they
are mean.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I know, but they're saying, this could be the first
stage of domestication. We won't be around to see it.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I mean, you know, this is hundreds of thousands of
years and we can't actually see it now.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
If you look at it, look at your small toe.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
And if I heard scientists talk about your small toe
which is now evolving into the other toe as it
sort of creeping together because we don't run as much
as we do. We don't go for days and days
where we needed all of our toes, and it's just
we are evolving, by the way. I just made that
up one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh I thought it was because it was going we
we we we we all.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
No, Actually, I actually I have read that that's part
of evolution.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Oh we're losing a toe.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, that the small toe is no longer needed the
way the big the way it used to be in
terms of gripping the soil and running and hunting for food.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
I have read that.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Now where I've read it, I don't remember. Is it
the way I read it, I don't remember. Is it
factually based, I don't remember. But it sounded good. At
the time it's.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Gonna happen, probably about the time those raccoons are domesticated.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
See there you go, and raccoons will have toes instead
of those claws that rip your eyeballs out. See, it's
at all times together, I'm telling you, all of it
comes together. Yeah, it is the circle of life.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That you know that they their hands are so sensitive
that when they get them wet, they can almost see
things with their fingers. Raccoons, Yeah, what they can see
things with their fingers.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well, I can see things. Here's the where well, well
you can see things with my finger.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
That's a different finger, sir, And I appreciate if you
point that towards Amy or Ann.

We're done, guys, KF I am sixty.
