You're listenings KP I AM six forty the Bill Handles

show is so popular. It's not that it's good, it's
just that everybody else is bad. That's why I only
hang around with poor people, because I'm considered rich among
(00:25):

Speaker 2 (00:25):

Okay, well there's eight. You know it's not that complicated.
You know it's we know it's not one.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
So that does that make a day eighth.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, well they it's last day and you know, spent
a long time, so I've been to Hebrew School, so
what the hell do I know? And I'm getting a
gift every single night of Hanuka from Lindsay you're.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Getting a gift even though you don't know what the
days of the that is are.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
For example, a couple of days ago, I got a
box of matza that was half priced because it was
last Passover and it was one of those that was
still on the shelf. So that was impressive. So I'm
getting some really neat, really neat stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Is that like getting a box of rocks?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, because you can eat a box of rocks, you
can't eat the matza. Okay, yeah, it's very eating matza.
It's uh, it's it's a cracker. That's well imagine this, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, all I know is matza balls.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, it's well yeah, yeah, and those it depends because
you're maazas. They have to be in season, uh to
have matsa balls because male matzas. Uh what they is,
what they do is uh, they reach puberty at the
right time and you have to grab them exactly the
(02:30):
right time.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
The balls are made from crushed up matza.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's correct. The balls are made from a pulverized matza.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yes, got it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
It's like a yeah, like a meatball, but without me.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Exactly, a meatball without meat. That's correct. It's a Mansa
ball without meat. Anyways, made for Matsa. They're really really good.
There's huge dumplings, is what they are. You know, about
the size of a softball. Except my mother's Matsa balls,
which were the size of a small meatball, and you
could use them in large bore weapons. They were so
(03:06):
dense and thick. They were like depleted lead. It was
pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Michelle is here through Wednesday, right, I am okay, so
Michelle filling in for Anne. Michelle is back. Michelle and I.
You won't even think about it. She sends me stuff.
She knows exactly the way I do this show. It's
like falling off a horse, you know, it's like riding
a bicycle. It doesn't matter how long ago. It's muscle memory.
(03:32):
You come right back in and you do it all right, Amy. Oh,
of course Amy's worriing Disneyland Garb again.

especially with their kayak ride is going to do very well.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
What else they don't They don't have the boat thing?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Do they through the boat thing?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, like a little boat ride. They used to have
that boat ride through about forty years. Yeah, it's about right. Yeah,
that's true. It's been a while since I've been to Disneyland.
Will Coles Riber, good morning, Good morning, sir. And a
little boat ride that goes through It's a small world though.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He's sort of by the little jet boats though.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah. They rode around the Matterhorn and they were right.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They road and it's sort of the same place where
the submarine fleet was. Do they still have the submarines
or those who have gone?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
They have the submarine ride, but now it's the Finding
Nemo ride.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I feel better, Okay, it's very cute. Yeah, no, it
is cute.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's definitely cute with the I really love the Mermaids
where you could see the strings the ropes that what
are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
There were no ropes. Those were real mermaids. What's wrong
with you? Bill?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And then there's Cono who is here so and Neil

together these schedules. So who's doing what Michelle on the
morning show over the next well, here you're here.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Through Wednesday, and then Thursday will be Jesus will be on,
and then Friday it's going to be a best of
bill handle, which we haven't done in a long time.
And then all next week is Neil.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah for you because you are off.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So Jesus does he comes in started with Easter.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I know, Will you may have not heard this story,
you know how the Jesus story actually came into being
the Jesus Show. All right, So one Easter I asked
the man who hosts the Jesus Show. I got to
keep on with a straight face, saying this, okay, the
quote producer of the Jesus Show, and it was Easter,
and he happens to be a sort of a biblical scholar.
(05:42):
I mean, he really knows his stuff backwards and forwards.
So I asked him, I said, listen, it's Easter. Why
don't you come on the show and do it straight,
not blasphemous in any way, as if I am interviewing
Jesus for real.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And he said okay. So we got on the show.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
He had no idea, and my first question is, let
me ask you, Jesus, did you ever masturbate? And that
was the first question, right out of the right out
of the day, of course, and he was wonderful. He said, well,
I'm both the man and the son of God.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I go, so the man part of masturbated, huh.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And he just kept on saying no, I'm both God
and man.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That was kind of neat.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And then out of that came the Jesus Show, because
we did it Easter, and then we did it Christmas,
and out of that came to Jesus Show, and then
out of that fill in for Easter and for and
for Christmas. And the show is syndicated now it's hurt
in a lot of stations around the country, so it's
done very well. All right, guys, let's do it. It
(06:50):
is Did I say hello to you, Cono? I think
I did right?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Okay, See how south important you are in life? Okay?
And Cono, good morning? Hey Bill?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Hey there you go. All right, guys, guys, to do it.
It is time for handle on the news. On the
December twenty two lead story.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh Man we're looking at it.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You know the old saying, what comes down always comes down.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I defer to you.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We heard that old thing.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh what the hell, Well, it comes down, always comes down.
All right, it's close, Amy. I defer to you on
the weather on this one. I always do.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It's going to rain, yeah, thank you, and that's it.
It's going to be wet.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So explain what's going on, because this is going to
be a huge one, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They're calling it an atmospheric rivery. You know, if you've
been paying attention at all, Seattle got hit with it
a couple of weeks ago, Portland got it. It's moving
out in northern California is getting hammered, and it's headed
our direction. And we could see rain by as early
as tomorrow afternoon, and then it's going to get heavier
tomorrow night, and then the heavy, heavy rain Christmas Eve
(07:58):
and then rain continuing on Christmas Day. But I think
the heaviest is late Tuesday and into Wednesday. And they're saying,
especially because of the downpours, that that's going to really
increase the risk of mudslides and debrief flows and that
kind of stuff, especially in the burn areas foothills.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Okay, so the heaviest is going to be right around Christmas,
is what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
The heaviest will fall on Christmas Eve, Christmas, then it's
expected to continue on Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, for those of you that are religious, Merry Christmas. Okay,
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Target oil tanker again, the US Coast Guard is going
after another oil tanker in international waters near Venezuela. This
is the third one in less than two weeks. An
official says the tanker is under sanctions and it hasn't
been boarded so far, at least from our last report,
but they were going after it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah. And this is and sanctions against Venezuela have been
going on for a very long time. And Trump is
the only president that is and I'll say it right
out has the balls to go. Okay, it's under sanctions,
and we're not going to let the.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Let this oil be sold. It is sold under the table.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It is not allowed to be sold, certainly not on
the international market, and payment cannot be made through the
international market. There is an organization called Swift and it's
actually a imagine a clearing house for banks. Well, this
is a clearinghouse that governments and major oil companies pay
each other for oil through this Swift clearinghouse. They're not
(09:37):
in Swift. Venezuela is out of Swift. Iran is out
of Swift, and so everything is under the table, which
is difficult to put a tanker under the table because
they're very big.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All right, Well, power is back on in the city
by the Bay fire at an electrical substation knocked out
power to more than one hundred and thirty thousand people yesterday,
including shopping districts, Golden Gate Park, small areas of downtown.
The first outages were reported around one o'clock on Saturday.
(10:10):
The lack of power snarled traffic around the affected areas.
Traffic signals, of course, were dark. Power has been restored
to about one hundred and ten thousand of the PG
and E customers, but that leaves still twenty one thousand
left in the dark.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
And I saw some news some video of waymo cars,
which San Francisco is one of the premier places, and
they were simply stuck at intersections, blocking.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Everything because they don't know what to do. When the
powers had, yes, you would think that they would have
the auto like.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Defult their battery right and they would go off and
pull over to the right. And the other thing I
have a question about is how was bart affected. You know,
if there's no power and you're underground and you're in
the subway, that's fun. Where everything goes complet the dark.
I'm assuming there's backup power for that too, at least
to get you to the next station. But that is
(11:06):
power outages are absolutely no fun. And they thought this
may have been terrorism. You remember when the story first broke,
you immediately go, this is what we default to. The
first question, is this terrorism? And that never used to happen,
certainly prior to nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
We used to just say, is it a squirrel? Yeah,
And a lot of times it was.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, Well the Cascades. Remember the Cascade in New York
where the entire Eastern Seaboard went down. This was in
the seventies, and I mean the whole seaboard went black.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And that was for a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It was it was a rat eating chewing on one
wire someplace, and then the cast skating happened.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Not quite there yet. House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said
that the partial release of the files tied to Jeffrey
Epstein just doesn't cut it. He says. Congress has acted decisively,
Bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate signed a
bill into law. The President signed it. And it does appear,
(12:11):
of course, that this initial document release is inadequate.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Of course it was.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I'd been saying that, actually they did better than I
thought I were think I thought they were going to
release any of it, because Pam BONDI was going to announce, quote,
we are now investigating various individuals who are seen in
the in those photographs, of course, all being all Democrats
they were investigating.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I'll do more about this.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
At seven o'clock, Trump taken out than put back in.
Speaking of the Epstein files, the Justice Department said it
had restored a picture that had been removed from the
public release of the investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
That's after they looked at it and said, okay, it's fine,
(12:59):
and put the photo back up, saying it posed no
risk of public exposure to victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The
Justice Department apparently said the image had been flagged by
federal prosecutors in New York for potentially exposing Epstein victims.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, this is going to be a lot of problems
for the Trump administration this one. Keeping in mind that
releasing those files was a major part of the campaign
when Donald Trump ran for president.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Release the files, Release the files.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
The Democrats were the Republicans were screaming, release the files.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And all of a sudden it goes the other way.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We're we have some problems with them, we have to redact,
and it's a potatic Democrats and the Republicans on both
sides are getting really upset with this. Why because this
deals with predators and minors and sexual assaults. You know,
that's where that line that goes beyond poulics. And it's
(14:02):
going to be very interesting as to what happened. So
that's both seven A and seven twenty this morning, I'm
going to talk about this and Pam Bondy is up
to her eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
In this thing.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
A rose parade controversy. Okay, So the Sierra Madre Rose
Float Association has a float. It features three firefighters gathered
around a giant stack of pancakes and they're pouring syrup
over the top of the pancakes with a fire hose.
One firefighter jokes that he needs more syrup. Sounds innocuous enough,
(14:36):
but it's got people riled up. And do you know
why did you see the picture of it?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I did.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm looking at it and it seems fairly benign to
me because it's lighthearted.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't find it offensive.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
It is they're saying, because the people that have a
real problem with it is when you look at the
recent fires, when you see the heroism of the firefighters,
we don't want to make fun of firefighters. I don't
think it does well. I'm not offended. Are you offended
by it?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Amy?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I'm not offended by it, but I can see where
you can look at it. If you look at the picture,
it looks like the firefighter who's putting maple syrup on
top of the pancakes. The firefighters run out, right, and
part of the big problem with the fires was running
out of water, and the firefighters didn't have water to
fight the fires.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
All right.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, So people are saying this is really inconsiderate and badrighting.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
So, considering that it takes a year to put these together,
they're planned a year in advance, and this happened relatively recently,
certainly in comparison to the timeline of the fires.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
What do you do just scrap it completely? I don't
know the answer to that. I mean, it's a.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Cute float and it is a good The float Association
said they didn't mean to offend anybody. They said it
was designed to honor firefighters, celebrate teamwork, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, I get that, but.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I can see where people will be a little bent up.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, they're being a well, what was it?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
The Sierra Madre Rose Flowed Association is being accused of
being tone deaf, and that may be the case, but
I think there's a timeline.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Here, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I think everybody just wants to be offended, that's.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
All I think. So too, you know, let's get offended.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Okay, I bet this is going to offend you. Bill.
A segment has been pulled from sixty minutes. People are
threatening to quit, says staffer. CBS News shelve the segment
about the Venezuelan man deported by the Trump administration to
that maximum security prison in Al Salvador. The correspondent who
(16:42):
did the story, Sharon Alphonsi, said in an internal memo
that the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship.
The editor in chief for CBS News is Barry Weiss.
He said the Trump administration didn't respond to their requests
for comment on this. They said, we needed we needed
(17:05):
additional reporting, So we're going to shelve it for now.
But people are saying, hey, they spike the story.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, there's another one, and I'm going to talk about
that later on because there's also histories of what the
Trump administration has done to the media and how the
media is caving across the board on this one, and
we'll be talking about that later on.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
US retaliation. The usas the military has carried out a
massive strike against ISIS in Syria in response to that
deadly attack on American forces. Fighter jets, attack helicopters, and
artillery struck more than seventy targets at several locations across
central Syria. According to Sencom, President Trump said, we are
(17:47):
striking very strongly against ISIS strongholds following the December thirteenth
ambush in the city of pal Palmyra, in which two
US soldiers and US civilian interpreter were killed.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You notice that there is no discussion of the word proportional.
That does not exist anymore, because it used to be
where you would have an attack on western target and
the argument would be we should have a proportional response
and therefore about the same level. Well, those days have changed.
(18:25):
Between BB NETANYAHUO and President Trump. There is no proportional
You attack us, and we're going to hit you twice
as hard. And that is a philosophy and a mantra
of President Trump's which I have no problem with under
these circumstances, because we're talking about truly the security of
American forces. And with Israel after the murder, the terrorist
(18:50):
murder of twelve hundred Israel Israelis, there was no proportional
response there. So again this is one of those where
I give the President, and I'm not a big fan
of the president, shocker, shocker, where I give him kudos
on this one. You know, don't screw with us. You know,
this is just not going to happen.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Still, all talk, no action. White House Envoy Steve Whitkoff
says the talks in Miami over the weekend with both
his Russian counterpart and Ukrainian Ukrainian National Security Advisor were
productive and constructive, but there's no clear breakthroughs on ending
the war between Russia and Ukraine. They met during the
(19:35):
weekend after the administration Trump administration proposed a plan to
end the war that Kiev officials and its backers and
the EU said was unworkable because they were supposed to
give up a bunch of territory. Ukraine and Russia still
have not directly spoken. They're going through US officials.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, and they're now being told to bring a deck
of cards. You might as well enjoy yourself, p knuckle
while you're having these non discussion discussions. That's not going
to end anytime soon. I mean, it's real simple, and
that is you've got Putin who wants territory, he wants
(20:12):
eastern Ukraine, and Ukraine is saying you're not going to
take a third of our country and did go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
What's in eastern Ukraine that he wants to about? Just
the territory? Is there stuff there?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No? No, there's stuff in eastern Ukraine a bread basket there.
But it's more historical. I mean it does have value.
I mean it's not just a piece of land out there.
But it's more a historical issue because it was part
of Russia at one point and as far as Putin
is concerned.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
This is not just arbitrary for him.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He woke up one morning and said, oh, I know,
let's go after Ukraine. This has been a basic tenet
of Putin's belief ever since he's been a public figure.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So is it going to happen anytime soon?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know how where at some point piece has to
be declared, But who the hell knows.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
When you look at peace, what was it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
With the Irish and the Brits. It took seventy years
for that piece to happen. And look how long it
took the accords in Israel to happen with Egypt and
that was what.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
You know, thirty years.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Yeah, but they weren't actively fighting, not at that time, no, no,
after this was the last time they had a major,
major fight was nineteen seventy two with the Young Keeper.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
War taking out targets inside Russia. A car bomb has
killed a Russian general in Moscow early Monday morning. He
was killed when an explosive device installed under the bottom
of a car was detonated. There is talk that it
was related to the organization of the crime by the
(21:57):
Ukrainian Special Services.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's what rushes well, that makes sense I mean they're
at war, and to whatever extent you can kill the
other sides on the heads of departments and military and civilians,
you go for it. Israel has a way of taking
out nuclear physicists and sort of killing them all, as
(22:21):
well as commanders of various arm part of the Hamas
armed forces.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Well, fitness is key in the army, but spiritual fitness
not so much. The army is scrapping it's spiritual fitness
got it was used for about five months. The idea
behind it, the army set at the time was to
help soldiers grow in the spiritual domain. A termmant to
cover mental and emotional health. In the same way that
(22:49):
the army pushed troops to grow stronger physically, this would
be used to help them spiritually. But five minutes and
they said, yeah, we're getting rid.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Of this now.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm not certainly I'm not a fan of pete hegxith.
But my question is is during the Trump administration the
first year, how does something like this get even started.
It had to fall through the cracks because spiritual fitness,
I mean, come on, you know, what do you do
run around a tree five times and then hold hands
(23:21):
and singing kombai ya. Okay, there's not much more to say,
is there. No, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Spiritual fitness, okay, wonderful, fantastic, let's get spiritually fit.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Moving on, Santa Loves Pizza two. Christmas is coming early
for pizza delivery fans in North Pole, Alaska. The local
franchise owner, Brian Dobbs, hosting a series of events this
month to celebrate the grand opening of the new Dominoes
on Santa Claus Lane. Now the first pizza place. They
(23:57):
already have a pizza hut and great Alaska Pizza company.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And that actually is a town right North Pole. That's sweet?
Yeah there.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
What is the town in Carolina? Tumor if I remember correctly,
and what do you do about that?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
A fun place to live?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It is?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, it's like boring Oregon, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
It is, right, Yeah, Okay?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
What is that voodoo that you do? In New Orleans
where they've been conducting ice raids, The people of New
Orleans have been pushing back, there's been protests, there's been
protecting fellow members of the community who might be targeted.
And now there are voodoo dolls. A voodoo doll that
looks like an ice agent was found in a tree
(24:44):
in a residential neighborhood. The doll was seen with a
number of pins puncturing it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Now, I have a question, why would this number one
be a story? And number two even more? I think
a bigger question is why would there only be one
voodoo doll in New Orleans? You think they would find
dozens of these all over town.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
By the way, it is a story.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I take that back, because it's just kind of fun,
you know, poking.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh, I love that, you right?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Fun?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I once had a voodoo doll sent to the station
for me and I loved it.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And well, I'm wondering. I mean, like, did you keel over?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You know what I did. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
What happened is I got obnoxious and rude and over
the top and it just changed my life completely.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
You're blaming it all on a voodoo doll.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's correct. If I were that, I was the sweetest
guy in the world.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah. Turning Point turns to JD. Vans. Turning Point, USA's
first major events since since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, drew
thirty one thousand people in our zone over the weekend,
and she said, Erica Kirk said, we are going to
get my husband's friend jd Vance elected for forty eight
(26:08):
in the most resounding way possible. So Turning Point USA
is supporting jd Vance in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, that is basically is Donald Trump junior, because you
know that jd Vance probably would not have his own
agenda a niche, at least initially. The way he's going
to get MAGA and the Conservatives in this case, even
Turning Point is to run and I think he very
well may be the nominee and he will simply say
(26:38):
I am the new Donald Trump. Now is that going
to help? I don't know, because jd Vance is no
Donald Trump. I don't think anybody could ever be a
Donald Trump. I mean Donald Trump is a unique figure
as a president, never has been one. I don't think
there ever will be something that compares to him. So
(26:58):
now what happens, Well, it's for example, okay, the president
just a couple of weeks ago said that the affordability
issue is a democratic hoax. Now he is the affordability president,
(27:18):
and you've got jd Vance blaming it all on Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Any problems we have is Joe Biden. Joe Biden, Joe Biden.
He keeps on doing that, and the economy doesn't do well.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Where's he going to go? And there is no frontrunner
right now? The Democrats have no front runner. There is.
The last time I think someone actually controlled certainly the
Democratic Party was Barack Obama and he's out of the picture.
And you'll see Donald Trump being out of the picture
in twenty eight. Although I do believe that Donald Trump's
going to be a king maker, there's no question in
(27:52):
my mind that his influence is going to remain big time.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
So anyway, j d Vance, is he going to make it?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Well.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
The other thing, and did you ever read his book,
He'll Be Theology?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
It is excellent. It is a very fairy good book.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
The movie is really good too.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I think he was a darling of Hollywood until he
decided to back Trump.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Uh yeah, Okay, I think we're done. Guys. Okay, this
is KFI AM six forty. You've been listening to the
Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Catch My Show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app,
You're listenings KP I AM six forty the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. That's why our
show is so popular. It's not that it's good, it's
just that everybody else is bad. That's why I only
hang around with poor people, because I'm considered rich among
(00:25):
poor people.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't hang around people with a lot of money.
I want to feel rich. And now handle on the news,
ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle and goodmurry, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's a Monday morning, December twenty two, which means Thursday
is the big day for those of you that celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Even those of you that don't.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
And today is they six, seven or eight of Hanukkah.
Usually Amy at this point jumps in and tells me
what they Honey is, well, what is it?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I've lost? Count?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay, well there's eight. You know it's not that complicated.
You know it's we know it's not one.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
And I think today is the last night or last
night was last night?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Right?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
It started Monday or last Sunday?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I know you count?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Today's Today's the last day.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Today is the last day.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh, it's sweet?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So that does that make a day eighth.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, well they it's last day and you know, spent
a long time, so I've been to Hebrew School, so
what the hell do I know? And I'm getting a
gift every single night of Hanuka from Lindsay you're.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Getting a gift even though you don't know what the
days of the that is are.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
For example, a couple of days ago, I got a
box of matza that was half priced because it was
last Passover and it was one of those that was
still on the shelf. So that was impressive. So I'm
getting some really neat, really neat stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Is that like getting a box of rocks?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
No, because you can eat a box of rocks, you
can't eat the matza. Okay, yeah, it's very eating matza.
It's uh, it's it's a cracker. That's well imagine this, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah, all I know is matza balls.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, it's well yeah, yeah, and those it depends because
you're maazas. They have to be in season, uh to
have matsa balls because male matzas. Uh what they is,
what they do is uh, they reach puberty at the
right time and you have to grab them exactly the
(02:30):
right time.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Good morning, everybody.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
The balls are made from crushed up matza.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's correct. The balls are made from a pulverized matza.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yes, got it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
It's like a yeah, like a meatball, but without me.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Exactly, a meatball without meat. That's correct. It's a Mansa
ball without meat. Anyways, made for Matsa. They're really really good.
There's huge dumplings, is what they are. You know, about
the size of a softball. Except my mother's Matsa balls,
which were the size of a small meatball, and you
could use them in large bore weapons. They were so
(03:06):
dense and thick. They were like depleted lead. It was
pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Michelle is here through Wednesday, right, I am okay, so
Michelle filling in for Anne. Michelle is back. Michelle and I.
You won't even think about it. She sends me stuff.
She knows exactly the way I do this show. It's
like falling off a horse, you know, it's like riding
a bicycle. It doesn't matter how long ago. It's muscle memory.
(03:32):
You come right back in and you do it all right, Amy. Oh,
of course Amy's worriing Disneyland Garb again.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Of course it's Christmas.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Oh, this is a good week to go to Disneyland,
especially with their kayak ride is going to do very well.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
What else they don't They don't have the boat thing?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Do they through the boat thing?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, like a little boat ride. They used to have
that boat ride through about forty years. Yeah, it's about right. Yeah,
that's true. It's been a while since I've been to Disneyland.
Will Coles Riber, good morning, Good morning, sir. And a
little boat ride that goes through It's a small world though.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He's sort of by the little jet boats though.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah. They rode around the Matterhorn and they were right.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
They road and it's sort of the same place where
the submarine fleet was. Do they still have the submarines
or those who have gone?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
They have the submarine ride, but now it's the Finding
Nemo ride.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I feel better, Okay, it's very cute. Yeah, no, it
is cute.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's definitely cute with the I really love the Mermaids
where you could see the strings the ropes that what
are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
There were no ropes. Those were real mermaids. What's wrong
with you? Bill?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
And then there's Cono who is here so and Neil
is not it's it's a holiday week, and Michelle puts
together these schedules. So who's doing what Michelle on the
morning show over the next well, here you're here.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Through Wednesday, and then Thursday will be Jesus will be on,
and then Friday it's going to be a best of
bill handle, which we haven't done in a long time.
And then all next week is Neil.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah for you because you are off.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
So Jesus does he comes in started with Easter.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I know, Will you may have not heard this story,
you know how the Jesus story actually came into being
the Jesus Show. All right, So one Easter I asked
the man who hosts the Jesus Show. I got to
keep on with a straight face, saying this, okay, the
quote producer of the Jesus Show, and it was Easter,
and he happens to be a sort of a biblical scholar.
(05:42):
I mean, he really knows his stuff backwards and forwards.
So I asked him, I said, listen, it's Easter. Why
don't you come on the show and do it straight,
not blasphemous in any way, as if I am interviewing
Jesus for real.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And he said okay. So we got on the show.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
He had no idea, and my first question is, let
me ask you, Jesus, did you ever masturbate? And that
was the first question, right out of the right out
of the day, of course, and he was wonderful. He said, well,
I'm both the man and the son of God.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I go, so the man part of masturbated, huh.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
And he just kept on saying no, I'm both God
and man.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That was kind of neat.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And then out of that came the Jesus Show, because
we did it Easter, and then we did it Christmas,
and out of that came to Jesus Show, and then
out of that fill in for Easter and for and
for Christmas. And the show is syndicated now it's hurt
in a lot of stations around the country, so it's
done very well. All right, guys, let's do it. It
(06:50):
is Did I say hello to you, Cono? I think
I did right?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Okay, See how south important you are in life? Okay?
And Cono, good morning? Hey Bill?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Hey there you go. All right, guys, guys, to do it.
It is time for handle on the news. On the
December twenty two lead story.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh Man we're looking at it.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You know the old saying, what comes down always comes down.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I defer to you.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
We heard that old thing.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh what the hell, Well, it comes down, always comes down.
All right, it's close, Amy. I defer to you on
the weather on this one. I always do.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
It's going to rain, yeah, thank you, and that's it.
It's going to be wet.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So explain what's going on, because this is going to
be a huge one, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They're calling it an atmospheric rivery. You know, if you've
been paying attention at all, Seattle got hit with it
a couple of weeks ago, Portland got it. It's moving
out in northern California is getting hammered, and it's headed
our direction. And we could see rain by as early
as tomorrow afternoon, and then it's going to get heavier
tomorrow night, and then the heavy, heavy rain Christmas Eve
(07:58):
and then rain continuing on Christmas Day. But I think
the heaviest is late Tuesday and into Wednesday. And they're saying,
especially because of the downpours, that that's going to really
increase the risk of mudslides and debrief flows and that
kind of stuff, especially in the burn areas foothills.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Okay, so the heaviest is going to be right around Christmas,
is what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
The heaviest will fall on Christmas Eve, Christmas, then it's
expected to continue on Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah, for those of you that are religious, Merry Christmas. Okay,
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Target oil tanker again, the US Coast Guard is going
after another oil tanker in international waters near Venezuela. This
is the third one in less than two weeks. An
official says the tanker is under sanctions and it hasn't
been boarded so far, at least from our last report,
but they were going after it.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah. And this is and sanctions against Venezuela have been
going on for a very long time. And Trump is
the only president that is and I'll say it right
out has the balls to go. Okay, it's under sanctions,
and we're not going to let the.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Let this oil be sold. It is sold under the table.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It is not allowed to be sold, certainly not on
the international market, and payment cannot be made through the
international market. There is an organization called Swift and it's
actually a imagine a clearing house for banks. Well, this
is a clearinghouse that governments and major oil companies pay
each other for oil through this Swift clearinghouse. They're not
(09:37):
in Swift. Venezuela is out of Swift. Iran is out
of Swift, and so everything is under the table, which
is difficult to put a tanker under the table because
they're very big.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
All right, Well, power is back on in the city
by the Bay fire at an electrical substation knocked out
power to more than one hundred and thirty thousand people yesterday,
including shopping districts, Golden Gate Park, small areas of downtown.
The first outages were reported around one o'clock on Saturday.
(10:10):
The lack of power snarled traffic around the affected areas.
Traffic signals, of course, were dark. Power has been restored
to about one hundred and ten thousand of the PG
and E customers, but that leaves still twenty one thousand
left in the dark.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
And I saw some news some video of waymo cars,
which San Francisco is one of the premier places, and
they were simply stuck at intersections, blocking.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Everything because they don't know what to do. When the
powers had, yes, you would think that they would have
the auto like.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Defult their battery right and they would go off and
pull over to the right. And the other thing I
have a question about is how was bart affected. You know,
if there's no power and you're underground and you're in
the subway, that's fun. Where everything goes complet the dark.
I'm assuming there's backup power for that too, at least
to get you to the next station. But that is
(11:06):
power outages are absolutely no fun. And they thought this
may have been terrorism. You remember when the story first broke,
you immediately go, this is what we default to. The
first question, is this terrorism? And that never used to happen,
certainly prior to nine to eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
We used to just say, is it a squirrel? Yeah,
And a lot of times it was.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, Well the Cascades. Remember the Cascade in New York
where the entire Eastern Seaboard went down. This was in
the seventies, and I mean the whole seaboard went black.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And that was for a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It was it was a rat eating chewing on one
wire someplace, and then the cast skating happened.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Not quite there yet. House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said
that the partial release of the files tied to Jeffrey
Epstein just doesn't cut it. He says. Congress has acted decisively,
Bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate signed a
bill into law. The President signed it. And it does appear,
(12:11):
of course, that this initial document release is inadequate.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Of course it was.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I'd been saying that, actually they did better than I
thought I were think I thought they were going to
release any of it, because Pam BONDI was going to announce, quote,
we are now investigating various individuals who are seen in
the in those photographs, of course, all being all Democrats
they were investigating.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I'll do more about this.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
At seven o'clock, Trump taken out than put back in.
Speaking of the Epstein files, the Justice Department said it
had restored a picture that had been removed from the
public release of the investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
That's after they looked at it and said, okay, it's fine,
(12:59):
and put the photo back up, saying it posed no
risk of public exposure to victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The
Justice Department apparently said the image had been flagged by
federal prosecutors in New York for potentially exposing Epstein victims.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, this is going to be a lot of problems
for the Trump administration this one. Keeping in mind that
releasing those files was a major part of the campaign
when Donald Trump ran for president.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Release the files, Release the files.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
The Democrats were the Republicans were screaming, release the files.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And all of a sudden it goes the other way.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We're we have some problems with them, we have to redact,
and it's a potatic Democrats and the Republicans on both
sides are getting really upset with this. Why because this
deals with predators and minors and sexual assaults. You know,
that's where that line that goes beyond poulics. And it's
(14:02):
going to be very interesting as to what happened. So
that's both seven A and seven twenty this morning, I'm
going to talk about this and Pam Bondy is up
to her eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
In this thing.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
A rose parade controversy. Okay, So the Sierra Madre Rose
Float Association has a float. It features three firefighters gathered
around a giant stack of pancakes and they're pouring syrup
over the top of the pancakes with a fire hose.
One firefighter jokes that he needs more syrup. Sounds innocuous enough,
(14:36):
but it's got people riled up. And do you know
why did you see the picture of it?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I did.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I'm looking at it and it seems fairly benign to
me because it's lighthearted.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I don't find it offensive.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
It is they're saying, because the people that have a
real problem with it is when you look at the
recent fires, when you see the heroism of the firefighters,
we don't want to make fun of firefighters. I don't
think it does well. I'm not offended. Are you offended
by it?
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Amy?
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I'm not offended by it, but I can see where
you can look at it. If you look at the picture,
it looks like the firefighter who's putting maple syrup on
top of the pancakes. The firefighters run out, right, and
part of the big problem with the fires was running
out of water, and the firefighters didn't have water to
fight the fires.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
All right.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Yeah, So people are saying this is really inconsiderate and badrighting.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
So, considering that it takes a year to put these together,
they're planned a year in advance, and this happened relatively recently,
certainly in comparison to the timeline of the fires.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
What do you do just scrap it completely? I don't
know the answer to that. I mean, it's a.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Cute float and it is a good The float Association
said they didn't mean to offend anybody. They said it
was designed to honor firefighters, celebrate teamwork, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, I get that, but.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I can see where people will be a little bent up.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, they're being a well, what was it?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
The Sierra Madre Rose Flowed Association is being accused of
being tone deaf, and that may be the case, but
I think there's a timeline.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Here, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I think everybody just wants to be offended, that's.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
All I think. So too, you know, let's get offended.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Okay, I bet this is going to offend you. Bill.
A segment has been pulled from sixty minutes. People are
threatening to quit, says staffer. CBS News shelve the segment
about the Venezuelan man deported by the Trump administration to
that maximum security prison in Al Salvador. The correspondent who
(16:42):
did the story, Sharon Alphonsi, said in an internal memo
that the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship.
The editor in chief for CBS News is Barry Weiss.
He said the Trump administration didn't respond to their requests
for comment on this. They said, we needed we needed
(17:05):
additional reporting, So we're going to shelve it for now.
But people are saying, hey, they spike the story.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, there's another one, and I'm going to talk about
that later on because there's also histories of what the
Trump administration has done to the media and how the
media is caving across the board on this one, and
we'll be talking about that later on.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
US retaliation. The usas the military has carried out a
massive strike against ISIS in Syria in response to that
deadly attack on American forces. Fighter jets, attack helicopters, and
artillery struck more than seventy targets at several locations across
central Syria. According to Sencom, President Trump said, we are
(17:47):
striking very strongly against ISIS strongholds following the December thirteenth
ambush in the city of pal Palmyra, in which two
US soldiers and US civilian interpreter were killed.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You notice that there is no discussion of the word proportional.
That does not exist anymore, because it used to be
where you would have an attack on western target and
the argument would be we should have a proportional response
and therefore about the same level. Well, those days have changed.
(18:25):
Between BB NETANYAHUO and President Trump. There is no proportional
You attack us, and we're going to hit you twice
as hard. And that is a philosophy and a mantra
of President Trump's which I have no problem with under
these circumstances, because we're talking about truly the security of
American forces. And with Israel after the murder, the terrorist
(18:50):
murder of twelve hundred Israel Israelis, there was no proportional
response there. So again this is one of those where
I give the President, and I'm not a big fan
of the president, shocker, shocker, where I give him kudos
on this one. You know, don't screw with us. You know,
this is just not going to happen.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Still, all talk, no action. White House Envoy Steve Whitkoff
says the talks in Miami over the weekend with both
his Russian counterpart and Ukrainian Ukrainian National Security Advisor were
productive and constructive, but there's no clear breakthroughs on ending
the war between Russia and Ukraine. They met during the
(19:35):
weekend after the administration Trump administration proposed a plan to
end the war that Kiev officials and its backers and
the EU said was unworkable because they were supposed to
give up a bunch of territory. Ukraine and Russia still
have not directly spoken. They're going through US officials.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, and they're now being told to bring a deck
of cards. You might as well enjoy yourself, p knuckle
while you're having these non discussion discussions. That's not going
to end anytime soon. I mean, it's real simple, and
that is you've got Putin who wants territory, he wants
(20:12):
eastern Ukraine, and Ukraine is saying you're not going to
take a third of our country and did go ahead.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
What's in eastern Ukraine that he wants to about? Just
the territory? Is there stuff there?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
No? No, there's stuff in eastern Ukraine a bread basket there.
But it's more historical. I mean it does have value.
I mean it's not just a piece of land out there.
But it's more a historical issue because it was part
of Russia at one point and as far as Putin
is concerned.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
This is not just arbitrary for him.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He woke up one morning and said, oh, I know,
let's go after Ukraine. This has been a basic tenet
of Putin's belief ever since he's been a public figure.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So is it going to happen anytime soon?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know how where at some point piece has to
be declared, But who the hell knows.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
When you look at peace, what was it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
With the Irish and the Brits. It took seventy years
for that piece to happen. And look how long it
took the accords in Israel to happen with Egypt and
that was what.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
You know, thirty years.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Yeah, but they weren't actively fighting, not at that time, no, no,
after this was the last time they had a major,
major fight was nineteen seventy two with the Young Keeper.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
War taking out targets inside Russia. A car bomb has
killed a Russian general in Moscow early Monday morning. He
was killed when an explosive device installed under the bottom
of a car was detonated. There is talk that it
was related to the organization of the crime by the
(21:57):
Ukrainian Special Services.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's what rushes well, that makes sense I mean they're
at war, and to whatever extent you can kill the
other sides on the heads of departments and military and civilians,
you go for it. Israel has a way of taking
out nuclear physicists and sort of killing them all, as
(22:21):
well as commanders of various arm part of the Hamas
armed forces.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Well, fitness is key in the army, but spiritual fitness
not so much. The army is scrapping it's spiritual fitness
got it was used for about five months. The idea
behind it, the army set at the time was to
help soldiers grow in the spiritual domain. A termmant to
cover mental and emotional health. In the same way that
(22:49):
the army pushed troops to grow stronger physically, this would
be used to help them spiritually. But five minutes and
they said, yeah, we're getting rid.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Of this now.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I'm not certainly I'm not a fan of pete hegxith.
But my question is is during the Trump administration the
first year, how does something like this get even started.
It had to fall through the cracks because spiritual fitness,
I mean, come on, you know, what do you do
run around a tree five times and then hold hands
(23:21):
and singing kombai ya. Okay, there's not much more to say,
is there. No, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Spiritual fitness, okay, wonderful, fantastic, let's get spiritually fit.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Moving on, Santa Loves Pizza two. Christmas is coming early
for pizza delivery fans in North Pole, Alaska. The local
franchise owner, Brian Dobbs, hosting a series of events this
month to celebrate the grand opening of the new Dominoes
on Santa Claus Lane. Now the first pizza place. They
(23:57):
already have a pizza hut and great Alaska Pizza company.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And that actually is a town right North Pole. That's sweet?
Yeah there.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
What is the town in Carolina? Tumor if I remember correctly,
and what do you do about that?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
A fun place to live?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It is?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, it's like boring Oregon, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
It is, right, Yeah, Okay?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
What is that voodoo that you do? In New Orleans
where they've been conducting ice raids, The people of New
Orleans have been pushing back, there's been protests, there's been
protecting fellow members of the community who might be targeted.
And now there are voodoo dolls. A voodoo doll that
looks like an ice agent was found in a tree
(24:44):
in a residential neighborhood. The doll was seen with a
number of pins puncturing it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Now, I have a question, why would this number one
be a story? And number two even more? I think
a bigger question is why would there only be one
voodoo doll in New Orleans? You think they would find
dozens of these all over town.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
By the way, it is a story.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I take that back, because it's just kind of fun,
you know, poking.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh, I love that, you right?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Fun?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
No.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I once had a voodoo doll sent to the station
for me and I loved it.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
And well, I'm wondering. I mean, like, did you keel over?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
So?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You know what I did. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
What happened is I got obnoxious and rude and over
the top and it just changed my life completely.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
You're blaming it all on a voodoo doll.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's correct. If I were that, I was the sweetest
guy in the world.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah. Turning Point turns to JD. Vans. Turning Point, USA's
first major events since since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, drew
thirty one thousand people in our zone over the weekend,
and she said, Erica Kirk said, we are going to
get my husband's friend jd Vance elected for forty eight
(26:08):
in the most resounding way possible. So Turning Point USA
is supporting jd Vance in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, that is basically is Donald Trump junior, because you
know that jd Vance probably would not have his own
agenda a niche, at least initially. The way he's going
to get MAGA and the Conservatives in this case, even
Turning Point is to run and I think he very
well may be the nominee and he will simply say
(26:38):
I am the new Donald Trump. Now is that going
to help? I don't know, because jd Vance is no
Donald Trump. I don't think anybody could ever be a
Donald Trump. I mean Donald Trump is a unique figure
as a president, never has been one. I don't think
there ever will be something that compares to him. So
(26:58):
now what happens, Well, it's for example, okay, the president
just a couple of weeks ago said that the affordability
issue is a democratic hoax. Now he is the affordability president,
(27:18):
and you've got jd Vance blaming it all on Joe Biden.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Any problems we have is Joe Biden. Joe Biden, Joe Biden.
He keeps on doing that, and the economy doesn't do well.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Where's he going to go? And there is no frontrunner
right now? The Democrats have no front runner. There is.
The last time I think someone actually controlled certainly the
Democratic Party was Barack Obama and he's out of the picture.
And you'll see Donald Trump being out of the picture
in twenty eight. Although I do believe that Donald Trump's
going to be a king maker, there's no question in
(27:52):
my mind that his influence is going to remain big time.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
So anyway, j d Vance, is he going to make it?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Well.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
The other thing, and did you ever read his book,
He'll Be Theology?
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
It is excellent. It is a very fairy good book.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
The movie is really good too.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Uh yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I think he was a darling of Hollywood until he
decided to back Trump.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Uh yeah, Okay, I think we're done. Guys. Okay, this
