humor. Abast and now Handle onthe news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle, and good morning everybody. Bill Handle. Here on a Wednesday
(00:47):
morning, April seventeenth, midweek,it's hump Day, which I kind of
like hunt day because well it's humpday and you can do the what is
it Dracha Mari's or what's another namefor a camel uh that I always forget
Drama Edaries. Oh, I thinkit's Drama Diaries. And if that's right,
(01:14):
someday because you've got you know,we have one hump or two humps
on the drama dairy. And Igenerally like when I was younger, I
was good for two humps and thenas I got old. Never mind,
I'm not going to get into thatanyway. Good morning everybody, Petros,
good morning to you two times.No more those bottles, no moms.
(01:40):
Uh yeah, it's a little tougheruh these days. Yeah, ah right,
Codo, good morning, Good morningBill. All right, two kids
now are one? Well I havetwo and then I have a stepdaughter,
so three. All right, soyou're done having sex, uh, at
least with your wife? Yeah,I get that. Yeah, it's got
(02:05):
to the point after my two wereborn, I go here, here's two
hundred dollars. Take care of yourself, Leave me alone, okay, Amy,
good morning, Hi Bill. Drawme into this conversation, Yes,
into this conversation. No, ofcourse, you know it's we always go
to the low lowest common denominator,and we do it as early as possible.
(02:28):
If you notice that, Amy,Or do we just just just right
out of the bat right out ofthe gate way to start today? Yeah,
And I don't see Anne. She'ssomewhere in the hall. Isn't she
running around doing She's hiding because shedoesn't want to ge drawn into this conversation.
Yeah, probably conversation. And wetalk about camels or yeah, yeah,
we're talking about one or two humpCampbell's the two hump camels are actually
(02:53):
much easier to ride, and youdo. For example, if you ever
get a chance to go to Egypt, right by the pyramids, they have
these guys who have their camels,of course, and you get to go
on the camels and take a camelride. And so the camels go down
on their knees and then you jumpup on the camel. Very difficult to
(03:15):
ride, very uncomfortable because camels theydon't have alternating feet going. It's the
same. The front feet go andthen the back feet go, and it
just there's a lot of bumping andswaying plotting style. Yeah. And then
so you go on the camel andit's only a dollar. Yeah, you
go, how is it so cheap? I mean it's been a dollar for
(03:35):
years. And then you find outhow this works because it's the dollar to
get on, it's twenty dollars toget off. Oh, and they want
to go that's how they do it, so they have the camel concession.
It's like because it's like going tothe Chinese theater and you have all the
(03:55):
superheroes beating each other up because theywant the choice of spots to scam Japanese
tourists and take the pictures math Headspider Man out there. Yeah. Yeah,
it was a story about the twoBatman beating themselves to a pulp because
they both wanted a specific spot.Yeah, and I love those costumes.
I pay money because the costumes areshredding and falling apart. Some of those
(04:17):
you get at Party City with thosereally flimsy, flimsy plastic in that little
rubber band that holds them onto yourhead. Okay, all right, enough
of that. God, we arejust just doing a lot of stream of
consciousness. I'm sorry. It's ohit is and Petros is here today you
can hear. And Neil comes backtomorrow. Neil as in a Disneyland day.
(04:41):
He took a personal day to goto Disneyland. He went to Star
Wars Night. Yeah last night.Oh I didn't there was a Star Wars
Night. Was it a media thing? Nope, it's a They have these
special side events where they basically youbuy a separate ticket and then you kind
of have the park to yourself.Disney after Dark is what it's called.
It's very cool. And Star Warsinstallations all over Disneyland. Wow. Well,
(05:03):
you know it's I don't go tothe Christmas parties. But do they
still do the holiday parties at Disneylandevery year? I don't go either,
but they do. Yeah, okay, that's a that is the holiday party
now. And can you imagine bookingDisneyland and the cost? Oh wait a
minute, they get it for freefor commercials, don't they. They get
(05:23):
it in trade, by the way. I don't know if that's true or
not. Wow, what a whistlebloweryou are. Yeah, yeah, I'm
talking about let's start the news asa matter of fact, handle on the
news with Amy and Petros and melead story who and it is exactly that
it's a whistle blower at Boeing issaying ground all seven eighty seven Dreamliners,
(05:46):
not just the seven thirty seven,but the Dreamliners, the seven eighty sevens,
which are a great airplane, andhe's saying that they're just unsafe because
of the way the fuselage is connected. And it's pretty scary stuff. Well,
yeah, we've been talking about thisbecause after a Douglas spot Boeing back
in nineteen ninety seven, then thebeing counters came in and the Boeing philosophy
(06:11):
of safety first, engineering first profitsthird that disappeared very very quickly. So
I'm going to I'm going to Europein October for a couple of weeks,
and I'm not flying a Boeing plane. I'm on an Airbus, the Airbus
three eighty, the three eight eight, you know, the one that's as
big as an apartment building. Andif you look at Airbus now is manufactured
(06:36):
in Europe. It's a European basedcompany and they're the only really it's Airbus
and Boeing are the only two majorwide body, huge transport jet manufacturers.
They have just changed their advertising flyair Bus. Our doors don't fly off
mid flight, and they got madefor that. I got to tell you,
(07:00):
yeah, I'm going on an Airbus. Did you used to check to
see what kind of plane it waswhen you're I usually did, and I
was fine. I like the seven, I like the Triple seven. I'll
tell you what else I do isif you look as you go in and
the door jam, you're going inthe and you'll see the door jam,
and right there in the middle ofthe jam, you will see the little
(07:23):
placard, a little metal tag MRSerial number of the plane when it was
certified. You know, exactly howold the plane is. It's like an
elevator. Uh yeah, yeah,but it's not. But it also gives
you the day it was manufactured andwhen it was certified by the FAA.
So you look and you go,Okay, this thing is older than I
(07:44):
am. That's a problem. Domost people do that or no? Very
few people do that. Do mostpeople do that now though? Because of
all this? Do they look atpeople? I don't even think people know
that. You can just look atin the door jam and see that it's
a little tiny metal plate. It'slike a vin plate on a car that
you're see or just check to seewhat kind of planet is in advace.
Yeah yeah, I always ask.Yeah, I never do. I just
(08:07):
you know, let it ride.No, No, I always ask also
for CD because the Triple seven youcan get bigger seats. It's it's configured
better. The seven fifty seven ishorrible in its configuration because the seats are
so so sham tight. So youknow, if you know your airplanes,
I like airplanes. Yeah, fascinating. Yeah. I mean I once was
(08:30):
on an japan Airline flight of sevenforty seven and the pilot, who was
about four foot eight walks into thecockpit with a phone book under his arm,
and I went, oh, thisis going to be good. Okay,
let's take a break. By theway, he was the shortest pilot
I've ever seen in my life.Like, how does he even see over
the steering wheel? Always see histwo hands up in the air, you
(08:54):
know, grabbing the steering monitors.Yeah, I guess, So this min
not takes along after all. Therewas speculation that it was going to take
weeks and weeks to see the juryin Donald Trump's hush money case. But
yesterday was the second day of juryselection and they seeded seven. So they've
got seven down, eleven to go, and no court today gonna go fast.
(09:18):
It does, And they thought oneach side has ten peremptory challenges throw
people off for no reason whatsoever.And there is a whole philosophy of that.
I am I'm going to do moreof that at seven thirty, because
there are many pieces to this one, and just jury's selection sometimes is half
the trial, so it's tedious.It can be very tedious, and in
(09:41):
this case it would be tedious.But this judge is moving and along at
a lightning clip. Well half ofthe missiles that Iran launched at Israel over
the weekend were duds, misfiring becauseof technical issues, and the US force
a shot down nearly all the rest, reports said yesterday, and an anonymous
(10:05):
source says that most of them wereempty or not really working correctly. So
there's that. Yeah, the US. It's the story is the US.
The US shot down most of these. When you looked at video of the
Irony dolls, Yeah, you lookthe Iron domea and you saw the anti
missile missiles going up from Israel andjust taking out all these missiles. I
(10:28):
mean, the number of rockets ormissiles that actually hit Israeli territory of the
Israeli territory, it was a dozenmaybe that's it. And they launched over
three hundred, but they took themout. And so the good news is
that the missile defences of Israel farstronger than anybody anticipated. I mean,
they really really came to the table, and the extent and the danger of
(10:54):
Iranian missiles and drones were not asgreat. They're just they're duds, the
half of them. That's what's beingreported is that usually what they fire duds.
Yeah, what's there? Like,who the hell knows. Well,
this is the first time they've everfired from Iran. No, I think
(11:15):
when the hutis fire or various groups, the terrorist groups that Iran supports and
they are proxies. No, Idon't think there were half duds. So
don't know on this one. Saberrattling, maybe special delivery. After a
two month delay, House Republicans havedelivered articles of impeachment against Alejandro majorcis,
(11:39):
Homeline Security Secretary. So they tookthose articles over to the Senate and are
demanding a full trial. You know, I don't get this at all.
I mean, obviously it's beyond political. But think of this, because the
law quote is being violated, thatthe border laws, immigration laws are being
violated by the Biden administration, andit's Majorcas who is Homeland Secretary. He's
(12:03):
the one that's in charge. They'reimpeaching him for not following the law,
although what he reports to the presidentit is the president's policy of what he
is doing. But they're not impeachingBiden. They're impeaching him for not following
(12:24):
the law. And they're arguing thelaw is there and you're not enforcing it.
Does that mean that every single DAin the country gets nailed for not
enforcing the law. When you have, for example, five suspects, one
it flips and decides to testify theother ones and is just as guilty.
(12:45):
And they're saying, if you testify, we're not going to charge you.
Is that the same thing? Butwait a second, mister da, you're
violating the law. You're not chargingsomeone who is suspected of making a crime.
You're only charging the other ones.It's called selective enforcement. And they
can do that. How about thecop that lets you off when you violated
a traffic law just lets you offbecause you're not enforcing the law. Therefore
(13:09):
you should be fired. I mean, this is crazy crap, it really
is. And you need two thirdsof the Senate to convict them and throw
them out. They're not gonna getThey're not gonna get a majority. It's
just a political it's stupid and itcan be and there they can force a
trial in the Senate where nothing happensexcept the trial, and it can go
(13:31):
on for weeks. Can you imaginethat time? You really? It just
shut it shuts down the Senate.So you've got these uh, it's it's
these people care far far more aboutthe political aspect than even the country moving
forward. The country is secondary totheir reelection and their political agenda drives me
(13:52):
completely crazy. So impeach Biden ifyou don't think he's doing a job,
and peach the guy who orders people. They can't do it. They wouldn't
dream of doing that for this.The Supreme Court cast doubt Tuesday on the
legality of obstruction charges lodged against someof the three hundred rioters from the January
(14:13):
sixth thing for breaking into the Capitolon January sixth. I guess they're they're
wondering whether or not the Sabranus OxleyAct, which was aimed at corporate accounting
fraud, can be used in thisregard. Yeah, that's Sarbines by the
way, I'm sorry, that's allright. I never heard of it.
Yeah, it's a pain in theacts. It's reporting information has to be
(14:37):
reported to the SEC and the authorities, and it's just that was after all
kinds of scandals. But the pointis, under Sarbins Oxley, you it's
a crime for obstructing any official proceeding, and it's always used in financial areas.
First time it's used outside of thisand now it's up in the air.
(15:00):
Can it be used in this case? Yes or no. Conservatives are
going to say no. Liberals aregoing to say yes. Conservatives are going
to win because of their majority.So it's going to help the rioters.
I'll tell you that the insurrectionists,it's going to help them. Got more
headaches for Mike, that is,House Speaker Mike Johnson. Representative Thomas Massey,
(15:22):
a Republican from Kentucky and a sharpcritic of giving more aid to Ukraine,
said that he is joining Representative MarjorieTaylor Green in her motion to vacate
the chair that could lead to avote to oust the speaker. Of course,
Marjorie Taylor Green filed the motion lastmonth to vacate the spot, but
hasn't moved to force a vote yet. Yeah, one more congress person and
(15:46):
up goes the vote to oust him. They may do it again. And
Marjorie Taylor Green is nuts. Doyou know when she filed her first article
of impeachment against Joe Biden ten minutesafter he was sworn in in twenty twenty
(16:07):
ten minutes boom. The articles werefiled because the first ten minutes of his
presidency he had already committed high crimesand misdemeanors. These people are nuts,
they're out of their minds. Andthe Republicans the margin Taylor Green and who
is it the other one that justdid this Massie represent Thomas Massey is they're
(16:33):
willing to throw the house again inup in the air, stop everything for
weeks while they find a new speaker. You can't move forward without a speaker.
There is no such thing as legislationwithout a speaker of the House in
the United States just shuts down completely. Oh yeah, politics hard at work,
(16:55):
all right, guys. Am Igetting a little exercise today. Yeah,
you really got your chest out.Former Dodger pitcher and heart high graduate
out there in Santa Clarita, TrevorBauer, one of his accusers, is
facing criminal charges in Arizona. Theyfiled felony charges against a woman who accused
(17:15):
him of a sexual assault, allegingthat she defrauded the Cy Young Winner and
she did Darcy Adonna s Manu.They're gonna raign her on April twenty six.
I don't know if this guy's evergonna get back into baseball. And
it's pretty interesting because this all seemsall this stuff very rough, airy and
(17:38):
savory, not cool, But itall seems consensual and seems like these people
really did try to defraud him andextort him. Yeah, and they're being
charged. I mean that's unprecedented.Also, his suspension, I've never heard
of something so long. It's almostas if he committed murder. With what
originally he got to one hundred andtwenty four games, that's uh what four
(18:03):
years. Yeah, He's wildly unpopularon any baseball team, There's no doubt
about that, although Mookie Betts cameout recently and said he did not have
that experience with Trevor Bauer and likedbeing his teammate as a Dodger, but
he just was not. He rubbeda lot of people the wrong way in
every clubhouse. He's video He videotapesalmost everything. He's got like a drone
(18:23):
flying over in videotaping at all times. He's got all these YouTube channels.
He's a real weirdo. There's nodoubt about that. But should that keep
him from pitching again? Well,he's still pitching. And I didn't know
that. I'm reading this article andhe is. I didn't even know there
was a professional League in Mexico.He's pitching for the Diablos Rojos still Taco
Bells of the Mexican League. Wellthat was just that was just like a
(18:47):
two day thing though, like hepitched for these weird teams. He pitched
for the Asian Breeze as well,another team, and they went around spring
training pitching in the backfields against againstmyguers mostly and just trying to prove that
he can get back into the majorleagues. And he certainly has that ability,
whether or not as the season goeson, if somebody gets hurt or
(19:10):
a team ends up needing a startingpitcher, if they go walk that plank
what we will see. But doesn'tseem like a popular guy. And MLB's
got a suspension on him anyway.It's weird. Amy NASA's faessen up.
They say, yeah, that wasour space junk. A Florida homeowner says
(19:33):
that a piece of the International SpaceStation crashed into his home in March.
Apparently it was supposed to burn upand re entry. It was a piece
of the International Space Station, butsome of it made it back to Earth.
It's not a lot, but youknow, falling from space, I
guess could do a lot of damage. It just weighs one point six pounds.
The object is four inches tall andone point six inches wide. And
(19:56):
NASA a month later has come outand said, yeah, that was ours.
Tear us through the roof, right, goes through two floors. Those
things come down really fast. AndI love that this guy posted. Did
he post on Twitter or where didhe? He posted somewhere on social media
on X and said, can youplease assist with getting NASA to connect with
(20:18):
me? I've left them messages andemails, but I'm not getting a response.
Yeah, wouldn't they get back toyou like I got you, I
got your Space junk. You'd thinkyou would think, well, this is
interesting. El Chapo is lonely andhe had his request for phone calls and
visits with his young daughter denied bya federal judge who wrote that he is
(20:41):
now solely responsible for the lonely druglord's conditions. What how do you get
How do some people get visitation andget to have like there are some statutory
provisions. If it doesn't fall understatute, it's the Bureau of Prisons.
They just they're the ones that makethe rules up. But they have to
(21:02):
be treated equally. You can't sayone versus the other unless you're saying one
is acting out being a bad boy. So you just follow the rules and
they and the judge even said,hey, that's not my call, it's
the Bureau of Prisons. They haveit. And he is el Chappo.
Well, you talk about hutspell,right, here's a guy who killed over
(21:23):
one hundred thousand people he's responsible forand he goes, I'm lonely and you're
not letting me talk to my wifeor my kids. They can't visit.
I tell you it was really lonelyfamilies of one hundred thousand people that were
killed during these strong and I maybe underestimating the number of people that were
(21:45):
killed in the el Chop Awards.How does a guy get a conjugal visit,
Like do you have to see ajudge and be like, hey,
the trailer again, It depends onthe rules of the prison, and some
prisons, well max prisons are verydifficult. Conjugal visits are simply part of
the process where you get these trailers. You go in, you start screaming,
(22:06):
and the trailer starts rocking back andforth, and you know what's going
on there. It's just the wayit goes, you know. I interviewed
the wife of Richard Ramirez, andRichard Ramirez, the night stalker, he
got married in prison. She wasone of the groupies when these guys go
down, hundreds of women right tothem and the pen pals extraordinaire. And
(22:33):
she fell in love with him andmarried him in prison. However, behind
glass doors there was no touching.So she married the guy and couldn't touch
him because there was plexiglass between them. And I interviewed her and I said,
do you have a problem with thefact that he killed all these people?
He didn't do it. Oh,I went, really, how about
(22:56):
all the other crimes he committed.He didn't do it. They didn't do
it. Okay, Well, youknow, if he did it, would
you marry him? He didn't doit. He's a good guy. That's
lovely. Unconsummated though that's true.Unconsummated right, So concert ticket prices could
(23:17):
they be dropping? Maybe? TheUS Department of Justice is getting ready to
sue Ticketmaster or actually Live Nation,which is the parent company of Ticketmaster,
alleging that the ticketing company used itsmarket leading petosition to harm competition for live
events. Well, yeah, theyI mean they have they have a monopoly.
(23:41):
They really control. And what doesit cost. Now you have a
let's say one hundred dollars ticket facevalue, what do you pay for it
through Ticketmaster? I think for someof them it's like forty or fifty bucks.
How about that? Yeah? Howabout that? And then they send
you emails for the rest of yourlife. Yeah, it's crazy. California
Department of Public Health has issued awarning to consumers advising them not to purchase
(24:04):
a certain hemorrhoid ointment from Vietnam thathas dangerous levels of lead. And somebody
died in the Sacramento area because ofthis terrible this ointment Cowboy Tree Kai dow
Dooo. You know we were talkingabout it. Preparation h is expensive stuff
(24:26):
and even the generic is expensive stuff. And people do this. I'm assuming
it's a Vietnamese products, so there'sfour percent lead, and they had a
relative send it to them from Vietnamand then you can't isn't that expensive?
You know? They send it allthe time, people send these care packages
all over the world. I meanthey should have known, first of all,
when you have a suppository that weighsfour and a half pounds and you're,
(24:51):
you know, putting it in.What does that tell you? Way
too much? Lead suppositories are weird, Like it's weird to have your butts
swallow a pill. Okay, isn'tit like it's a weird feeling. It's
very strong. We have experience.US football types have experience with the roids
because of off season, not justthe performance enhancing roids, but because of
(25:12):
off season training and all the squatting. Okay, that's fair, deadlifting and
pushing there you develop some olive sizehemorrhoids. Oh that's lovely. Oh that's
very very Oh boy does that makelife delicious? Also a couple things,
And I have to give you creditbecause we're on a Jim Keeney on later
on, and he is going todive deeper into this topic. Very strong,
(25:33):
very strong, and last but notlease both the Ann and Amy.
You know what, I'm tired ofthese Vietnam Vietnamese hemorrhoid ointment stories. Let's
just limit it, okay to thisone. God, I'm sick of these
stories. Aren't you love them?Actually? All right, don't block us
out. An organization that represents morethan two thousand news publishers has sent letters
(25:59):
to the Department of Justice, theFederal Trade Commission, the California Attorney General.
They are urging them to launch aninvestigation into Google after Google started taking
links off of California based news outlets. It's because of a proposed law that
would require tech companies to pay fornews content. Google's like, yeah,
(26:21):
we don't want to pay for that, so they just started removing those links
from California news websites. Yeah Atwenty I'm gonna do that story because that
is a big, big news storyand it may affect you, amy may
affect me in my search for news. Yeah. Well, it scares me
because if they're pulling the legitimate newslinks off, where are people going to
(26:45):
get their news when they google it? Oh? TLA, what newsmax info
wars? All right, Petros,I think we can finish it up with
this. Are corruption in the Departmentof Water and Power? Federal? Yes,
(27:06):
I mean I thought it was justthat movie Chinatown, But apparently a
federal judge is unsealed thirty three FBIsearch warrants related to an investigation of the
LADWP and the City Attorney's office froma botched launch in twenty thirteen of a
new billing system that cost people millionsand millions of dollars taxpayers. That is
(27:27):
that was a great movie. Bythe way, Chinatown. Oh, they
went down to San Pedro. He'sright there at he's at sunken City where
the water's blowing out, you knowthe Yeah, pretty good. Forget it,
jac it's Chinatown. She's my daughter, she's my sister, she's my
cousin, she's my mother in law. This was all filmed in Tennessee,
by the way, where that allhappened, and all of it is true.
(27:51):
They are cousins, and there wasnever mind there was an incest background
in the story. In the storyspoiler alert, yeah there was. But
anyway, it's that's not looking good. And a couple of people already got
nailed on this one too, havepled guilty to extortion and bribery charges in

get a chance to go to Egypt, right by the pyramids, they have
these guys who have their camels,of course, and you get to go
on the camels and take a camelride. And so the camels go down
on their knees and then you jumpup on the camel. Very difficult to
(03:15):
ride, very uncomfortable because camels theydon't have alternating feet going. It's the
same. The front feet go andthen the back feet go, and it
just there's a lot of bumping andswaying plotting style. Yeah. And then
so you go on the camel andit's only a dollar. Yeah, you
go, how is it so cheap? I mean it's been a dollar for
(03:35):
years. And then you find outhow this works because it's the dollar to
get on, it's twenty dollars toget off. Oh, and they want
to go that's how they do it, so they have the camel concession.
It's like because it's like going tothe Chinese theater and you have all the
(03:55):
superheroes beating each other up because theywant the choice of spots to scam Japanese
tourists and take the pictures math Headspider Man out there. Yeah. Yeah,
it was a story about the twoBatman beating themselves to a pulp because
they both wanted a specific spot.Yeah, and I love those costumes.
I pay money because the costumes areshredding and falling apart. Some of those
(04:17):
you get at Party City with thosereally flimsy, flimsy plastic in that little
rubber band that holds them onto yourhead. Okay, all right, enough
of that. God, we arejust just doing a lot of stream of
consciousness. I'm sorry. It's ohit is and Petros is here today you
can hear. And Neil comes backtomorrow. Neil as in a Disneyland day.
(04:41):
He took a personal day to goto Disneyland. He went to Star
Wars Night. Yeah last night.Oh I didn't there was a Star Wars
Night. Was it a media thing? Nope, it's a They have these
special side events where they basically youbuy a separate ticket and then you kind
of have the park to yourself.Disney after Dark is what it's called.
It's very cool. And Star Warsinstallations all over Disneyland. Wow. Well,
(05:03):
you know it's I don't go tothe Christmas parties. But do they
still do the holiday parties at Disneylandevery year? I don't go either,
but they do. Yeah, okay, that's a that is the holiday party
now. And can you imagine bookingDisneyland and the cost? Oh wait a
minute, they get it for freefor commercials, don't they. They get
(05:23):
it in trade, by the way. I don't know if that's true or
not. Wow, what a whistlebloweryou are. Yeah, yeah, I'm
talking about let's start the news asa matter of fact, handle on the
news with Amy and Petros and melead story who and it is exactly that
it's a whistle blower at Boeing issaying ground all seven eighty seven Dreamliners,
(05:46):
not just the seven thirty seven,but the Dreamliners, the seven eighty sevens,
which are a great airplane, andhe's saying that they're just unsafe because
of the way the fuselage is connected. And it's pretty scary stuff. Well,
yeah, we've been talking about thisbecause after a Douglas spot Boeing back
in nineteen ninety seven, then thebeing counters came in and the Boeing philosophy
(06:11):
of safety first, engineering first profitsthird that disappeared very very quickly. So
I'm going to I'm going to Europein October for a couple of weeks,
and I'm not flying a Boeing plane. I'm on an Airbus, the Airbus
three eighty, the three eight eight, you know, the one that's as
big as an apartment building. Andif you look at Airbus now is manufactured
(06:36):
in Europe. It's a European basedcompany and they're the only really it's Airbus
and Boeing are the only two majorwide body, huge transport jet manufacturers.
They have just changed their advertising flyair Bus. Our doors don't fly off
mid flight, and they got madefor that. I got to tell you,
(07:00):
yeah, I'm going on an Airbus. Did you used to check to
see what kind of plane it waswhen you're I usually did, and I
was fine. I like the seven, I like the Triple seven. I'll
tell you what else I do isif you look as you go in and
the door jam, you're going inthe and you'll see the door jam,
and right there in the middle ofthe jam, you will see the little
(07:23):
placard, a little metal tag MRSerial number of the plane when it was
certified. You know, exactly howold the plane is. It's like an
elevator. Uh yeah, yeah,but it's not. But it also gives
you the day it was manufactured andwhen it was certified by the FAA.
So you look and you go,Okay, this thing is older than I
(07:44):
am. That's a problem. Domost people do that or no? Very
few people do that. Do mostpeople do that now though? Because of
all this? Do they look atpeople? I don't even think people know
that. You can just look atin the door jam and see that it's
a little tiny metal plate. It'slike a vin plate on a car that
you're see or just check to seewhat kind of planet is in advace.
Yeah yeah, I always ask.Yeah, I never do. I just
(08:07):
you know, let it ride.No, No, I always ask also
for CD because the Triple seven youcan get bigger seats. It's it's configured
better. The seven fifty seven ishorrible in its configuration because the seats are
so so sham tight. So youknow, if you know your airplanes,
I like airplanes. Yeah, fascinating. Yeah. I mean I once was
(08:30):
on an japan Airline flight of sevenforty seven and the pilot, who was
about four foot eight walks into thecockpit with a phone book under his arm,
and I went, oh, thisis going to be good. Okay,
let's take a break. By theway, he was the shortest pilot
I've ever seen in my life.Like, how does he even see over
the steering wheel? Always see histwo hands up in the air, you
(08:54):
know, grabbing the steering monitors.Yeah, I guess, So this min
not takes along after all. Therewas speculation that it was going to take
weeks and weeks to see the juryin Donald Trump's hush money case. But
yesterday was the second day of juryselection and they seeded seven. So they've
got seven down, eleven to go, and no court today gonna go fast.
(09:18):
It does, And they thought oneach side has ten peremptory challenges throw
people off for no reason whatsoever.And there is a whole philosophy of that.
I am I'm going to do moreof that at seven thirty, because
there are many pieces to this one, and just jury's selection sometimes is half
the trial, so it's tedious.It can be very tedious, and in
(09:41):
this case it would be tedious.But this judge is moving and along at
a lightning clip. Well half ofthe missiles that Iran launched at Israel over
the weekend were duds, misfiring becauseof technical issues, and the US force
a shot down nearly all the rest, reports said yesterday, and an anonymous
(10:05):
source says that most of them wereempty or not really working correctly. So
there's that. Yeah, the US. It's the story is the US.
The US shot down most of these. When you looked at video of the
Irony dolls, Yeah, you lookthe Iron domea and you saw the anti
missile missiles going up from Israel andjust taking out all these missiles. I
(10:28):
mean, the number of rockets ormissiles that actually hit Israeli territory of the
Israeli territory, it was a dozenmaybe that's it. And they launched over
three hundred, but they took themout. And so the good news is
that the missile defences of Israel farstronger than anybody anticipated. I mean,
they really really came to the table, and the extent and the danger of
(10:54):
Iranian missiles and drones were not asgreat. They're just they're duds, the
half of them. That's what's beingreported is that usually what they fire duds.
Yeah, what's there? Like,who the hell knows. Well,
this is the first time they've everfired from Iran. No, I think
(11:15):
when the hutis fire or various groups, the terrorist groups that Iran supports and
they are proxies. No, Idon't think there were half duds. So
don't know on this one. Saberrattling, maybe special delivery. After a
two month delay, House Republicans havedelivered articles of impeachment against Alejandro majorcis,
(11:39):
Homeline Security Secretary. So they tookthose articles over to the Senate and are
demanding a full trial. You know, I don't get this at all.
I mean, obviously it's beyond political. But think of this, because the
law quote is being violated, thatthe border laws, immigration laws are being
violated by the Biden administration, andit's Majorcas who is Homeland Secretary. He's
(12:03):
the one that's in charge. They'reimpeaching him for not following the law,
although what he reports to the presidentit is the president's policy of what he
is doing. But they're not impeachingBiden. They're impeaching him for not following
(12:24):
the law. And they're arguing thelaw is there and you're not enforcing it.
Does that mean that every single DAin the country gets nailed for not
enforcing the law. When you have, for example, five suspects, one
it flips and decides to testify theother ones and is just as guilty.
(12:45):
And they're saying, if you testify, we're not going to charge you.
Is that the same thing? Butwait a second, mister da, you're
violating the law. You're not chargingsomeone who is suspected of making a crime.
You're only charging the other ones.It's called selective enforcement. And they
can do that. How about thecop that lets you off when you violated
a traffic law just lets you offbecause you're not enforcing the law. Therefore
(13:09):
you should be fired. I mean, this is crazy crap, it really
is. And you need two thirdsof the Senate to convict them and throw
them out. They're not gonna getThey're not gonna get a majority. It's
just a political it's stupid and itcan be and there they can force a
trial in the Senate where nothing happensexcept the trial, and it can go
(13:31):
on for weeks. Can you imaginethat time? You really? It just
shut it shuts down the Senate.So you've got these uh, it's it's
these people care far far more aboutthe political aspect than even the country moving
forward. The country is secondary totheir reelection and their political agenda drives me
(13:52):
completely crazy. So impeach Biden ifyou don't think he's doing a job,
and peach the guy who orders people. They can't do it. They wouldn't
dream of doing that for this.The Supreme Court cast doubt Tuesday on the
legality of obstruction charges lodged against someof the three hundred rioters from the January
(14:13):
sixth thing for breaking into the Capitolon January sixth. I guess they're they're
wondering whether or not the Sabranus OxleyAct, which was aimed at corporate accounting
fraud, can be used in thisregard. Yeah, that's Sarbines by the
way, I'm sorry, that's allright. I never heard of it.
Yeah, it's a pain in theacts. It's reporting information has to be
(14:37):
reported to the SEC and the authorities, and it's just that was after all
kinds of scandals. But the pointis, under Sarbins Oxley, you it's
a crime for obstructing any official proceeding, and it's always used in financial areas.
First time it's used outside of thisand now it's up in the air.
(15:00):
Can it be used in this case? Yes or no. Conservatives are
going to say no. Liberals aregoing to say yes. Conservatives are going
to win because of their majority.So it's going to help the rioters.
I'll tell you that the insurrectionists,it's going to help them. Got more
headaches for Mike, that is,House Speaker Mike Johnson. Representative Thomas Massey,
(15:22):
a Republican from Kentucky and a sharpcritic of giving more aid to Ukraine,
said that he is joining Representative MarjorieTaylor Green in her motion to vacate
the chair that could lead to avote to oust the speaker. Of course,
Marjorie Taylor Green filed the motion lastmonth to vacate the spot, but
hasn't moved to force a vote yet. Yeah, one more congress person and
(15:46):
up goes the vote to oust him. They may do it again. And
Marjorie Taylor Green is nuts. Doyou know when she filed her first article
of impeachment against Joe Biden ten minutesafter he was sworn in in twenty twenty
(16:07):
ten minutes boom. The articles werefiled because the first ten minutes of his
presidency he had already committed high crimesand misdemeanors. These people are nuts,
they're out of their minds. Andthe Republicans the margin Taylor Green and who
is it the other one that justdid this Massie represent Thomas Massey is they're
(16:33):
willing to throw the house again inup in the air, stop everything for
weeks while they find a new speaker. You can't move forward without a speaker.
There is no such thing as legislationwithout a speaker of the House in
the United States just shuts down completely. Oh yeah, politics hard at work,
(16:55):
all right, guys. Am Igetting a little exercise today. Yeah,
you really got your chest out.Former Dodger pitcher and heart high graduate
out there in Santa Clarita, TrevorBauer, one of his accusers, is
facing criminal charges in Arizona. Theyfiled felony charges against a woman who accused
(17:15):
him of a sexual assault, allegingthat she defrauded the Cy Young Winner and
she did Darcy Adonna s Manu.They're gonna raign her on April twenty six.
I don't know if this guy's evergonna get back into baseball. And
it's pretty interesting because this all seemsall this stuff very rough, airy and
(17:38):
savory, not cool, But itall seems consensual and seems like these people
really did try to defraud him andextort him. Yeah, and they're being
charged. I mean that's unprecedented.Also, his suspension, I've never heard
of something so long. It's almostas if he committed murder. With what
originally he got to one hundred andtwenty four games, that's uh what four
(18:03):
years. Yeah, He's wildly unpopularon any baseball team, There's no doubt
about that, although Mookie Betts cameout recently and said he did not have
that experience with Trevor Bauer and likedbeing his teammate as a Dodger, but
he just was not. He rubbeda lot of people the wrong way in
every clubhouse. He's video He videotapesalmost everything. He's got like a drone
(18:23):
flying over in videotaping at all times. He's got all these YouTube channels.
He's a real weirdo. There's nodoubt about that. But should that keep
him from pitching again? Well,he's still pitching. And I didn't know
that. I'm reading this article andhe is. I didn't even know there
was a professional League in Mexico.He's pitching for the Diablos Rojos still Taco
Bells of the Mexican League. Wellthat was just that was just like a
(18:47):
two day thing though, like hepitched for these weird teams. He pitched
for the Asian Breeze as well,another team, and they went around spring
training pitching in the backfields against againstmyguers mostly and just trying to prove that
he can get back into the majorleagues. And he certainly has that ability,
whether or not as the season goeson, if somebody gets hurt or
(19:10):
a team ends up needing a startingpitcher, if they go walk that plank
what we will see. But doesn'tseem like a popular guy. And MLB's
got a suspension on him anyway.It's weird. Amy NASA's faessen up.
They say, yeah, that wasour space junk. A Florida homeowner says
(19:33):
that a piece of the International SpaceStation crashed into his home in March.
Apparently it was supposed to burn upand re entry. It was a piece
of the International Space Station, butsome of it made it back to Earth.
It's not a lot, but youknow, falling from space, I
guess could do a lot of damage. It just weighs one point six pounds.
The object is four inches tall andone point six inches wide. And
(19:56):
NASA a month later has come outand said, yeah, that was ours.
Tear us through the roof, right, goes through two floors. Those
things come down really fast. AndI love that this guy posted. Did
he post on Twitter or where didhe? He posted somewhere on social media
on X and said, can youplease assist with getting NASA to connect with
(20:18):
me? I've left them messages andemails, but I'm not getting a response.
Yeah, wouldn't they get back toyou like I got you, I
got your Space junk. You'd thinkyou would think, well, this is
interesting. El Chapo is lonely andhe had his request for phone calls and
visits with his young daughter denied bya federal judge who wrote that he is
(20:41):
now solely responsible for the lonely druglord's conditions. What how do you get
How do some people get visitation andget to have like there are some statutory
provisions. If it doesn't fall understatute, it's the Bureau of Prisons.
They just they're the ones that makethe rules up. But they have to
(21:02):
be treated equally. You can't sayone versus the other unless you're saying one
is acting out being a bad boy. So you just follow the rules and
they and the judge even said,hey, that's not my call, it's
the Bureau of Prisons. They haveit. And he is el Chappo.
Well, you talk about hutspell,right, here's a guy who killed over
(21:23):
one hundred thousand people he's responsible forand he goes, I'm lonely and you're
not letting me talk to my wifeor my kids. They can't visit.
I tell you it was really lonelyfamilies of one hundred thousand people that were
killed during these strong and I maybe underestimating the number of people that were
(21:45):
killed in the el Chop Awards.How does a guy get a conjugal visit,
Like do you have to see ajudge and be like, hey,
the trailer again, It depends onthe rules of the prison, and some
prisons, well max prisons are verydifficult. Conjugal visits are simply part of
the process where you get these trailers. You go in, you start screaming,
(22:06):
and the trailer starts rocking back andforth, and you know what's going
on there. It's just the wayit goes, you know. I interviewed
the wife of Richard Ramirez, andRichard Ramirez, the night stalker, he
got married in prison. She wasone of the groupies when these guys go
down, hundreds of women right tothem and the pen pals extraordinaire. And
(22:33):
she fell in love with him andmarried him in prison. However, behind
glass doors there was no touching.So she married the guy and couldn't touch
him because there was plexiglass between them. And I interviewed her and I said,
do you have a problem with thefact that he killed all these people?
He didn't do it. Oh,I went, really, how about
(22:56):
all the other crimes he committed.He didn't do it. They didn't do
it. Okay, Well, youknow, if he did it, would
you marry him? He didn't doit. He's a good guy. That's
lovely. Unconsummated though that's true.Unconsummated right, So concert ticket prices could
(23:17):
they be dropping? Maybe? TheUS Department of Justice is getting ready to
sue Ticketmaster or actually Live Nation,which is the parent company of Ticketmaster,
alleging that the ticketing company used itsmarket leading petosition to harm competition for live
events. Well, yeah, theyI mean they have they have a monopoly.
(23:41):
They really control. And what doesit cost. Now you have a
let's say one hundred dollars ticket facevalue, what do you pay for it
through Ticketmaster? I think for someof them it's like forty or fifty bucks.
How about that? Yeah? Howabout that? And then they send
you emails for the rest of yourlife. Yeah, it's crazy. California
Department of Public Health has issued awarning to consumers advising them not to purchase
(24:04):
a certain hemorrhoid ointment from Vietnam thathas dangerous levels of lead. And somebody
died in the Sacramento area because ofthis terrible this ointment Cowboy Tree Kai dow
Dooo. You know we were talkingabout it. Preparation h is expensive stuff
(24:26):
and even the generic is expensive stuff. And people do this. I'm assuming
it's a Vietnamese products, so there'sfour percent lead, and they had a
relative send it to them from Vietnamand then you can't isn't that expensive?
You know? They send it allthe time, people send these care packages
all over the world. I meanthey should have known, first of all,
when you have a suppository that weighsfour and a half pounds and you're,
(24:51):
you know, putting it in.What does that tell you? Way
too much? Lead suppositories are weird, Like it's weird to have your butts
swallow a pill. Okay, isn'tit like it's a weird feeling. It's
very strong. We have experience.US football types have experience with the roids
because of off season, not justthe performance enhancing roids, but because of
(25:12):
off season training and all the squatting. Okay, that's fair, deadlifting and
pushing there you develop some olive sizehemorrhoids. Oh that's lovely. Oh that's
very very Oh boy does that makelife delicious? Also a couple things,
And I have to give you creditbecause we're on a Jim Keeney on later
on, and he is going todive deeper into this topic. Very strong,
(25:33):
very strong, and last but notlease both the Ann and Amy.
You know what, I'm tired ofthese Vietnam Vietnamese hemorrhoid ointment stories. Let's
just limit it, okay to thisone. God, I'm sick of these
stories. Aren't you love them?Actually? All right, don't block us
out. An organization that represents morethan two thousand news publishers has sent letters
(25:59):
to the Department of Justice, theFederal Trade Commission, the California Attorney General.
They are urging them to launch aninvestigation into Google after Google started taking
links off of California based news outlets. It's because of a proposed law that
would require tech companies to pay fornews content. Google's like, yeah,
(26:21):
we don't want to pay for that, so they just started removing those links
from California news websites. Yeah Atwenty I'm gonna do that story because that
is a big, big news storyand it may affect you, amy may
affect me in my search for news. Yeah. Well, it scares me
because if they're pulling the legitimate newslinks off, where are people going to
(26:45):
get their news when they google it? Oh? TLA, what newsmax info
wars? All right, Petros,I think we can finish it up with
this. Are corruption in the Departmentof Water and Power? Federal? Yes,

federal judge is unsealed thirty three FBIsearch warrants related to an investigation of the
LADWP and the City Attorney's office froma botched launch in twenty thirteen of a
new billing system that cost people millionsand millions of dollars taxpayers. That is

the water's blowing out, you knowthe Yeah, pretty good. Forget it,
jac it's Chinatown. She's my daughter, she's my sister, she's my
cousin, she's my mother in law. This was all filmed in Tennessee,
by the way, where that allhappened, and all of it is true.
(27:51):
They are cousins, and there wasnever mind there was an incest background
in the story. In the storyspoiler alert, yeah there was. But
