Hi, and good morning, Goodmorning Bill, all right, good
(00:48):
morning to you. Kono is thatorange or red hat? Oh? This
is Astros orange. Oh, that'san A. No, it's an H.
Oh, it's an A. John, I'm sorry Astro's H. Do
we conflate A with an H?I don't quite get Houston? Okay?
I thought maybe honorific and what elsein terms of H? Horrible? No,
(01:17):
never mind, we can go.There are a lot of H words
out there to say the least.Okay, anything new in the world,
not particularly, I mean well,Norway, Spain, Ireland are announcing plans
to recognize a Palestinian state next three. I mean a lot of countries.
I already have and peloton. Oh, here's big, big news, no
(01:41):
longer using music by Diddy and itsworkout platform. Okay, there's a statement
that is gonna kill him financially,Isn't it what I would think? How
much money would he get does heget on licensing fees for music used on
a pelletime exercise machine? I'm curiousabout that because all that stuff is licensed,
(02:06):
So I don't know. I don'tknow. Does it matter? Absolutely
not. Okay, let's do it, guys. On a Wednesday morning,
we got a lot going on,to say the least, it's time for
Handle on the news with Amy King, Neil and Me lead story. Step
this way, step that way,then step this way. Okay, it's
(02:30):
we are literally just weeks away fromevery single advertising sign on a metro bus
or the subway. Come on aboard, you're going to get stabbed. Yet
another stabbing has occurred on a metrobus. This was in Lynnwood. I
guess the silver lining here. Thevictim was stabbed in the leg and no
(02:50):
life threatening injuries and he's going tobe fine. He or she we don't
know whether it was a he orshe, but it was a man that
was stepped Okay, Oh that's good. Wow, that's good news for women,
I guess. And so it's athe story is going to go on.
Now it's gotten to the point whereif someone gets a scratch on a
(03:12):
metro bus that makes the lead storyon handle on the news. Well it's
still a stabbing. Yeah, No, it is a stabbing. No,
it's not a boo boo on theend. I understand, I know,
I understand that. But what happensis this story wouldn't have gotten any legs.
Although you have stabbed in the leg, it wouldn't have gotten many legs
(03:34):
had it not been all this theserash, this rash of stabbings and killings
on the metro it's occurrence. Yeah, it is come for the come for
the bus ride, stay for thestabbing. Yeah, it looks like this
guy. Uh yeah, either mentallyill. I'm gonna do a story later
(03:58):
on. We're not gonna find outabout but these people for the most partner
mentally ill. And there's a wholestory about LAPD and dealing with the mentally
ill that is going to come onat seven point thirty. There's a whole
world to that one. So howto get that ketamine that's the big question.
As a criminal investigation is launched intothe death of actor Matthew Perry.
(04:20):
As you'll recall, he was foundin his hot tub unresponsive last October and
Pacific Palisades and the La County MedicalExaminer revealed in December that he died from
acute effects of ketamine. So theLAPD is working with the DEA and the
United States Postal Inspection Service to findout how and why he had so much
(04:44):
ketamine in his system. Hey,what if it were anybody else, would
there be this kind of investigation tothis level, or any investigation when someone
criminal investigation when someone overdoses on ketamine? Probably not, I would think not.
Yeah, I don't know that we'dknow about it if it was just
a average Jane or John do though, yeah, with certain way news.
(05:09):
But even so, it's these arevery high profile. One of the things
that happens, and I want topoint this out, is there's a general
consensus that for some reason, celebritiesmovie stars get treated better by law enforcement
and the judicial system. They actuallyget treated worse because public pressure is so
(05:33):
great on the investigative authorities. Theyhave to dive in so deep into everything
that involves a celebrity that it actuallyin many cases is worse for them.
I can't wait till something happens toyou, and they're like, we have
to you know what, I'm nota big enough celebrity. I am not.
(05:57):
It's believe me, I'm going toget a one liner if I die.
Unless I get stabbed on the metrouh, then it will be major
news. It will be the firststory of handle on the news without handle
in the morning. I think they'reprobably you know, do you know every
(06:17):
time I have and I have flownthree times on the same flight to Las
Vegas, totally serendipitously running into GeorgeUh Norway him to Norway, Nori Uh.
And we sit next to each otherand we both argue if the plane
goes down, who gets top billingand is it above the fold or below
(06:40):
the fold in the La Times.And we are obnoxious enough and self aggrandizing
enough to think that we would makethe front page and we wouldn't. So
anyway, if I'm on a metrobus, I get some coverage, but
we don't have to worry about that, do we. If you start to
(07:01):
get coverage, I swear I willkill someone more famous, just so you
don't uh oh, that's very strongand that that makes sense. Okay,
and let's go through the building asto who is more famous. Oh no,
no, I'll go hi. Imean it will be like knock,
knock, knock, George Clooney opensthe door and goes, hi, can
(07:21):
I help you? All right,Well, we know it was personal,
and there are some new gruesome detailsthat are coming out about the murder of
the UPS driver in Irvine, includingthat the murderer was lying in wait and
(07:41):
that he shot him fourteen times ina matter of nineteen seconds and went to
you know, pretty extreme lengths tofind him, including asking around to make
sure that he was on the rightroute. And it looks like me even
going in because they both worked forUPS, going in and looking it up
(08:03):
on a computer and taking pictures tomake sure that the route was Yeah.
Two things about this one childhood friendand co worker. Yeah, which is
really weird. And to Neil,you caught it the second story broke.
You said this was this was targetedand this was not random, and I
mean literally as a story broke,and you got it right. I would
(08:26):
have thought it was a relationship.And although we don't know the details of
the that the relationship, yes,yeah, yeah, we just know that
they were friends. It did itjust didn't seem random. Yeah, So
sad story all the way around.And I'm not sure what we're going to
find out. There is some Idon't if they're going to release it.
(08:48):
Yeah, there are some rumors thatthey had something to do with work or
yeah, stuff like that. Wedo know is they number one, were
no longer friends, clearly, andthere must have been some anger issues just
guessing. Well, they're saying thateven the vehicle that was used was a
different vehicle so that the other personwouldn't recognize. So, I mean this
(09:09):
is well thought out. Yeah,got a real life Star Wars situation,
sort of. The US says Russiahas likely launched a counter space weapon that
is close to and capable of attackinga US government satellite that's orbiting nearby.
US Ambassador Robert Wood told the UNthat it's not the first time Russia has
(09:33):
launched a counterspace weapon, which you'redesigned to incapacitate or destroy satellites. The
last time they did it was intwenty twenty two. Yeah, they don't
need any weaponry aboard the satellite.All they do is make sure that it
hits and the kinetic energy just thething explodes. And so it's fairly easy
to shoot down a satellite, andyou know, the superpowers have been a
(09:54):
little bit leery about that because allof a sudden, if they start shooting
each other down all then your GPSdoesn't work and you get lost, and
that would be just an outrage aroundthe world. I think there's probably some
of the things that it does.Yeah, Starlink, for example, how
many satellites does starlink have up there? Thousands already? Any what? And
(10:20):
Musk wants them every where? Well, he's pretty close to having them everywhere.
And what are they the size ofa shoe box? I don't know,
that's a good question. I meanthose are really small, you know,
and I would think very very difficultto hit. All right, So
you could lead the aid to Gaza, but you can't get it to the
(10:41):
actual people in need. The Pentagonsays, none of the aid unloaded from
the US peer that's the one thatthey were at that temporary pier they're building
off the coast of Gaza. Noneof that has been delivered to the broader
Palestinian population. Yeah, because theydon't have the infrastructure, they don't have
the distribution there. I mean aplace is is just gone in terms of
(11:01):
infrastructure, So it's a waste.Well, I mean it's sitting there unless
it has been looted. And howdo you blame anybody whose kids are starving
from attacking an AID truck and justcleaning it out. You know, it's
just there's no way I would certainlyloot it if my kids were starving,
(11:24):
as anybody else would. And it'sjust and this is the world Which organization
is this that's delivering this? TheWorld Health Organization? Is that? It?
World Food Organization? I think it'spart of the UN. And they're
the ones that are actually bringing itaboard, bringing it on shore and theoretically
(11:45):
distributing it. They stopped, theyjust said, they just stopped cold because
they can't get it delivered to thepeople that need it. More support for
Palestine, Spain, Norway, andIreland have all announced plays to formally recognize
a Palestinian state. Palestinian statehood hasbeen recognized by more than one hundred and
(12:07):
thirty of one hundred and ninety threemember states of the UN. Spain's Prime
Minister, in making the announcement yesterday, said the recognition is not against the
people of Israel, and certainly notagainst the Jews. He said, rather,
it is not in favor of Hamas, but it is in favor of
coexistence. Yeah, there's a worldto that. There is. You've got
(12:28):
very far ultra right wing of theIsraeli government saying there's no chance. You
have the left wing saying that they'rethe people, saying there has to be
just practical persons of practical people ofPalestinian state. I'm going to do a
whole lot more about that at seventwenty. In terms of the anti Semitism
(12:48):
on school, the word Zionism,what does that mean? Statehood for Israel.
There's a lot of moving parts.This is my wheelhouse anyway, so
I enjoy doing this. So that'sgoing to be on up at seven twenty.
Rudy Giuliani has agreed to never againpublicly accused to Georgia election workers of
(13:11):
campering with votes in the twenty twentyelection. So he made this false accusation
and he's repeatedly and frequently banging itover the head. Some say it led
to his bankruptcy, downfall of hisjob, everything else going on, and
he apparently has agreed that he won'tsay it publicly. Yeah, which I
(13:35):
don't know why he's agreed to it. I mean, they've already won one
hundred and forty eight million dollars judgmentagainst them for defamation, which of course
we'll never be able to pay.So what's the downside, you know,
is what's the agreement? Either youstop it or you're going to throw you
in jail for thirty years. There'sa First Amendment issue. All they can
do, all the people can dowho have been accused of sue for defamation,
(13:58):
and they have and they've won.Now what do you do? So,
as his attorney, you encourage himjust to keep saying it, you
know, I know, no,I just don't understand this guy. You
know, as I said, Iknow someone who does know someone, And
I asked the question, I mean, you know what what happened to this
guy? I mean, he's gonecompletely berserk. He's gone, you know,
(14:20):
he just gone over the edge.And I was told he got caught
up in the Trump orbit. Heis still a true believer. And even
if he spends twenty and he's losingeverything. By the way, he's already
filed for bankruptcy. He's lost hisproperties, he's lost his radio show on
WABC, so he's lost all that. He is now doing some kind of
(14:43):
podcasts and it's a mercy strip thatpeople are subscribing it to it, which
is not very much money, ispardon? Is he married? I don't
know. I don't know. Weshould look that up, but he is.
But I'm told he is a trtrue believer. If he gets twenty
years in prison and you talk tohim nineteen years from now, he'll still
(15:07):
say the election was stolen. DonaldTrump, the greatest president in the history
of the United States. The guyjust drank not only the kool aid,
all the kool aid in great biggulps. All right, he is no
longer married, Okay, yeah,good for her. Does he have children?
(15:28):
I think he does, right,I think so too. Yeah,
we don't know their names because theychange their names as I would. Okay,
don't do that to the flag.Even Republicans are lining up to criticize
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito after apicture surface of an upside down American flag.
(15:50):
Senate Republican whip John Thune called ita bad decision. Senator Lindsay Graham
said it was a mistake, createsa bad image, and others also weigh
in, and of course, theupside down flag became the symbol of the
Stop the Steel movement in the weeksand months after the twenty twenty election.
Yeah, pretty crazy. Democrats areoffended. The Republicans, well, let's
(16:15):
just say Graham says it it's amistake, okay, And a lot of
Republicans are downplaying and some are evendefending Alito. Those are the ones that
walked in into the Senate and theywalked in on their hands and absolutely defended
the whole concept of him doing theflag upside down. I still want to
(16:37):
know why the picture was taken onJanuary seventeenth, twenty twenty one, and
we're just seeing I don't know theanswer to that. New York Times got
it somehow. I think what happenedis it just fell through the cracks,
and finally someone presented it to theNew York Times and said, here you
go. Someone quickly isn't who obviouslyis not tied into the Internet or social
(17:00):
media, because that would have goneviral in two seconds. I think it's
more reasonable for Alito to have comeout and said, no, no,
no, no, the flag wasright side up. We had our house
turned over up here. Yeah,and of course he blamed his wife,
the dog ate the homework. Ihad nothing to do with it. It
was my wife. Now that isnot in reference to how she looks.
(17:23):
But he blames her. Right.That's clever, isn't it had no idea
come home every day. There itis in the front yard on a flagpole,
and I kind of missed it.What was that comedian was it?
I don't know if it was God. I can't remember which comedian it was.
But sentences are something you don't hearevery day. And one of them
(17:47):
was please leave me alone and takethe woman, and then there the other
one was hand me that piano.But that's when you're gonna throw the woman
underneath the bus. Things are bad, all right. A small new study
found that human testicles contain microplastics andnanoplastics at a level three times higher than
(18:08):
animal testes and human placentas. Sothese are tiny, like nanoscale. Yeah,
why wouldn't it be an animal?Think about that for a moment,
because you know they're part of thefood chain. I mean, you know,
they eat grains, We eat grains, we eat animals. Yeah,
but we drink out of plastic containers. We a good points, so right
(18:30):
by that, right, that makessense. Study also found that these tiny
little nanoplastics in your testicles look huge. Yeah, thank you. And I've
been talking about this literally since Istarted practicing third party reproduction, I mean
a zillion years ago. And wetalked about the decline of sperm accounts over
the years, and they have declinedby at least fifty percent over the past
(18:52):
fifty years. That's astronomical. ButI think that has a lot to do
with how often a manates, becauseover by the time it's five times in
one day, the sperm count dropsfairly dramatically. Hey that's science. Okay
that let me tell you. Don'targue with me. That is science.
(19:14):
This is what I studied. Wecould go to a thousand to wait,
two thousand handle listeners and not oneof them is going to say, yeah,
yeah, I tuned in every morningfor the Soviets. Okay, I
go streat to build for the Soviets. Well, you know, when I
started practicing law, I relied onscience and the world of infertility because law
(19:37):
wasn't there. We had to makeit up. Well, keep practicing,
Okay, Well, good luck buyinganything. In California, the statewide median
sales price for a single family homepreviously owned is over nine hundred thousand dollars.
It's up eleven point four percent fromthe same month last year. It's
(19:57):
now climbed more than one hundred thousanddollars in just over two years. That's
crazy. That is crazy. Soit's gone from unaffordable to insanely unaffordable.
And if it keeps on going up, which it looks like it's going to
go up, it's going to beintergalactically unaffordable. Within the next couple of
(20:18):
years, we'll break a million.We'll break a million. Average home in
California. I mean that includes thetents you see in downtown, which you
can get used from RII as asecond for forty bucks. That is included
in the average. I will tellyou, man, if you look up
go on Zillow or whatever, Redsinor whatever, and look up what a
(20:40):
million dollars will get you nothing inthe outskirts of la oh I know.
I'm looking at the New York TimesI read every day and there's a section
about what whatever X dollars will buyyou around the country, you know,
nine hundred thousand, one point fourmillion. And you look at La and
it buys you a three bedroom tobath house and in a good area of
(21:03):
town. And then you go toTennessee and the same million dollars buys you
forty acres this gorgeous six bedroom houseand a mule. Because with every forty
acres you get a mule. Youknow what's cheaper than flying to Amsterdam staying
right here in California. And that'swhat will happen if well, now you've
(21:26):
got a bill that would allow thisAmsterdam style cannabis cafes here in California past
the State Assembly just this week aftera third reading with a fifty six to
six vote. Now you can alwaysyou can still go with dispensary right now
and smoke your brains out. Iwent with my daughter Pamlet. Geez,
what a zoo that was. Imean, I don't smoke, and I
(21:49):
went with her to keep her company. I got high just being in that
room. It was so dense,it looked like a peabod. What this
gives the ability of serving drinks andserving food and serving cannabis right there on
the menu. You know what theycall the cannabis cafes in Amsterdam, they
(22:10):
call them coffee shops. They don'thave coffee shops per se. I mean
they do, but they don't callthem coffee shops. They call cannabis restaurants
coffee shops. Because food yet isvery confusing, and everybody speaks perfect English,
I might add, and how manypeople speak Dutch. Trump is a
(22:34):
little flip floppy. He is sayingthat he is open to supporting regulations on
contraception and that his campaign would releasea policy on the issues shortly, and
then later he said those comments weremisrepresented. Yeah, of course, have
you noticed did you see that videoof him making that statements. He's asked
(22:56):
by this I'm assuming very conservative,uh interviewer, because who else would he
go in front of? And thatquestion was asked, do you support any
restrictions on a person's right to contraception? He has no idea how to answer
that? He has absolutely no idea, And he says We're looking into that
and I'm going to have a policyon that very shortly. What Yeah,
(23:19):
no, I have he has noidea. What he says, I don't
think that's come up. But evenif it has, he at that point
he had no idea, whether hehad a policy, didn't have a policy,
didn't have a policy. What hesaid, what he did, He
came back, but we're looking atthat and I'm going to have a policy
on that very shortly. Uh.It has a lot to do with the
(23:40):
states, and some states are goingto have different policy than others. Do
you have a policy, Uh,I'm going to have a beautiful policy.
He had no idea, He hadno idea what he was talking. Why
would people assume that was restrictions oncontraception. Well, that's a good point
as opposed to a conservative or atleast someone candidate going to the Conservative party.
(24:02):
We're going to hand them out tostay that way. They're going to
stay the way they are now.Well, he has said that it's now
up to the states. And thenbut maybe because he continues to get the
question and he's like, maybe thecampaign needs to have an official policy because
just say the states isn't working.And here's the point. And you do
raise a point, Neil, andit's legitimate. But if you see him
(24:23):
answering or trying to answer that question. I mean, he truly had no
idea of how to answer that otherthan we're going to look at that very
shortly as opposed to you know,that's maybe it's a question of just delivery,
that's all. But he looked likea deer with in the headlights,
of which Joe Biden virtually always does, but usually you don't see that in
(24:47):
Donald Trump like that, that's all. He did go on on his social
media platform and say that he hasnever and will never advocate for restricting birth
control and other contraceptives. He couldeasily have said that. Yeah, then,
much as what I expect, hedid not know. I mean,
he just didn't know what to say. All right. California could eventually join
(25:12):
the European Union in requiring all newcars to be tattletales and narcs. So
I'll give alerts to drivers when theybreak the speed limit. And this course
is to reduce traffic deaths, whichis a good thing. But yeah,
but does it work? I mean, think about that. On any new
(25:32):
car you have, you're already toldwhat the speed limit is. It shows
up on the dashboard, certainly inmy car. So Let's say I'm in
a thirty five mile zone and I'mdoing forty five. It shows that I'm
doing forty five, and it showsthat it's a thirty five mile in our
speed limit. I mean, rightthere on the dashboard. This is going
to give you a beep as if, as if anybody is going to pay
(25:52):
attention to a beep. Now,if he gave you an electric shock through
your ass, that might work.First time. I look into that as
a third party option for you.I could build that. Yeah, you
actually you could. It gives youan electric shock, okay, and but
a slight electric But if someone thenyou want to go commando and just really
(26:17):
enjoy it. But that's only forgetif you have somebody in the passenger seat
that says, oh, well slowdown, will you do that anyway?
That's my mother? Okay, soAmy did the voice for ways. Now
the warden, her mom will dothe voice for this going and then then
then slow down and then maybe you'llslow down. Yeah maybe, but you're
(26:40):
paying I don't buy it. Idon't think anybody would pay attention to it,
although you get used to, youknow, the seatbelt. Do you
know anybody who doesn't put a seatbelton. I don't how how come Kono
just gave us a big toothy grin. You can't because you can't stand the
beeping sound and beat beat, beatbeat beat you go. They actually make
(27:02):
things to bypass that, by theway, Okay, why anybody would do
that is beyond me too. AllRight, we're done, guys. Kf

longer using music by Diddy and itsworkout platform. Okay, there's a statement

much money would he get does heget on licensing fees for music used on

(02:06):
So I don't know. I don'tknow. Does it matter? Absolutely
not. Okay, let's do it, guys. On a Wednesday morning,
we got a lot going on,to say the least, it's time for
Handle on the news with Amy King, Neil and Me lead story. Step
this way, step that way,then step this way. Okay, it's
(02:30):
we are literally just weeks away fromevery single advertising sign on a metro bus
or the subway. Come on aboard, you're going to get stabbed. Yet
another stabbing has occurred on a metrobus. This was in Lynnwood. I
guess the silver lining here. Thevictim was stabbed in the leg and no
(02:50):
life threatening injuries and he's going tobe fine. He or she we don't
know whether it was a he orshe, but it was a man that
was stepped Okay, Oh that's good. Wow, that's good news for women,
I guess. And so it's athe story is going to go on.
Now it's gotten to the point whereif someone gets a scratch on a
(03:12):
metro bus that makes the lead storyon handle on the news. Well it's
still a stabbing. Yeah, No, it is a stabbing. No,
it's not a boo boo on theend. I understand, I know,
I understand that. But what happensis this story wouldn't have gotten any legs.
Although you have stabbed in the leg, it wouldn't have gotten many legs
(03:34):
had it not been all this theserash, this rash of stabbings and killings
on the metro it's occurrence. Yeah, it is come for the come for
the bus ride, stay for thestabbing. Yeah, it looks like this
guy. Uh yeah, either mentallyill. I'm gonna do a story later
(03:58):
on. We're not gonna find outabout but these people for the most partner
mentally ill. And there's a wholestory about LAPD and dealing with the mentally
ill that is going to come onat seven point thirty. There's a whole
world to that one. So howto get that ketamine that's the big question.
As a criminal investigation is launched intothe death of actor Matthew Perry.
(04:20):
As you'll recall, he was foundin his hot tub unresponsive last October and
Pacific Palisades and the La County MedicalExaminer revealed in December that he died from
acute effects of ketamine. So theLAPD is working with the DEA and the
United States Postal Inspection Service to findout how and why he had so much
(04:44):
ketamine in his system. Hey,what if it were anybody else, would
there be this kind of investigation tothis level, or any investigation when someone
criminal investigation when someone overdoses on ketamine? Probably not, I would think not.
Yeah, I don't know that we'dknow about it if it was just
a average Jane or John do though, yeah, with certain way news.
(05:09):
But even so, it's these arevery high profile. One of the things
that happens, and I want topoint this out, is there's a general
consensus that for some reason, celebritiesmovie stars get treated better by law enforcement
and the judicial system. They actuallyget treated worse because public pressure is so
(05:33):
great on the investigative authorities. Theyhave to dive in so deep into everything
that involves a celebrity that it actuallyin many cases is worse for them.
I can't wait till something happens toyou, and they're like, we have
to you know what, I'm nota big enough celebrity. I am not.
(05:57):
It's believe me, I'm going toget a one liner if I die.
Unless I get stabbed on the metrouh, then it will be major
news. It will be the firststory of handle on the news without handle
in the morning. I think they'reprobably you know, do you know every
(06:17):
time I have and I have flownthree times on the same flight to Las
Vegas, totally serendipitously running into GeorgeUh Norway him to Norway, Nori Uh.
And we sit next to each otherand we both argue if the plane
goes down, who gets top billingand is it above the fold or below
(06:40):
the fold in the La Times.And we are obnoxious enough and self aggrandizing
enough to think that we would makethe front page and we wouldn't. So
anyway, if I'm on a metrobus, I get some coverage, but
we don't have to worry about that, do we. If you start to
(07:01):
get coverage, I swear I willkill someone more famous, just so you
don't uh oh, that's very strongand that that makes sense. Okay,
and let's go through the building asto who is more famous. Oh no,
no, I'll go hi. Imean it will be like knock,
knock, knock, George Clooney opensthe door and goes, hi, can
(07:21):
I help you? All right,Well, we know it was personal,
and there are some new gruesome detailsthat are coming out about the murder of
the UPS driver in Irvine, includingthat the murderer was lying in wait and
(07:41):
that he shot him fourteen times ina matter of nineteen seconds and went to
you know, pretty extreme lengths tofind him, including asking around to make
sure that he was on the rightroute. And it looks like me even
going in because they both worked forUPS, going in and looking it up
(08:03):
on a computer and taking pictures tomake sure that the route was Yeah.
Two things about this one childhood friendand co worker. Yeah, which is
really weird. And to Neil,you caught it the second story broke.
You said this was this was targetedand this was not random, and I
mean literally as a story broke,and you got it right. I would
(08:26):
have thought it was a relationship.And although we don't know the details of
the that the relationship, yes,yeah, yeah, we just know that
they were friends. It did itjust didn't seem random. Yeah, So
sad story all the way around.And I'm not sure what we're going to
find out. There is some Idon't if they're going to release it.
(08:48):
Yeah, there are some rumors thatthey had something to do with work or
yeah, stuff like that. Wedo know is they number one, were
no longer friends, clearly, andthere must have been some anger issues just
guessing. Well, they're saying thateven the vehicle that was used was a
different vehicle so that the other personwouldn't recognize. So, I mean this
(09:09):
is well thought out. Yeah,got a real life Star Wars situation,
sort of. The US says Russiahas likely launched a counter space weapon that
is close to and capable of attackinga US government satellite that's orbiting nearby.
US Ambassador Robert Wood told the UNthat it's not the first time Russia has
(09:33):
launched a counterspace weapon, which you'redesigned to incapacitate or destroy satellites. The
last time they did it was intwenty twenty two. Yeah, they don't
need any weaponry aboard the satellite.All they do is make sure that it
hits and the kinetic energy just thething explodes. And so it's fairly easy
to shoot down a satellite, andyou know, the superpowers have been a
(09:54):
little bit leery about that because allof a sudden, if they start shooting
each other down all then your GPSdoesn't work and you get lost, and
that would be just an outrage aroundthe world. I think there's probably some
of the things that it does.Yeah, Starlink, for example, how
many satellites does starlink have up there? Thousands already? Any what? And
(10:20):
Musk wants them every where? Well, he's pretty close to having them everywhere.
And what are they the size ofa shoe box? I don't know,
that's a good question. I meanthose are really small, you know,
and I would think very very difficultto hit. All right, So
you could lead the aid to Gaza, but you can't get it to the
(10:41):
actual people in need. The Pentagonsays, none of the aid unloaded from
the US peer that's the one thatthey were at that temporary pier they're building
off the coast of Gaza. Noneof that has been delivered to the broader
Palestinian population. Yeah, because theydon't have the infrastructure, they don't have
the distribution there. I mean aplace is is just gone in terms of
(11:01):
infrastructure, So it's a waste.Well, I mean it's sitting there unless
it has been looted. And howdo you blame anybody whose kids are starving
from attacking an AID truck and justcleaning it out. You know, it's
just there's no way I would certainlyloot it if my kids were starving,
(11:24):
as anybody else would. And it'sjust and this is the world Which organization
is this that's delivering this? TheWorld Health Organization? Is that? It?
World Food Organization? I think it'spart of the UN. And they're
the ones that are actually bringing itaboard, bringing it on shore and theoretically
(11:45):
distributing it. They stopped, theyjust said, they just stopped cold because
they can't get it delivered to thepeople that need it. More support for
Palestine, Spain, Norway, andIreland have all announced plays to formally recognize
a Palestinian state. Palestinian statehood hasbeen recognized by more than one hundred and
(12:07):
thirty of one hundred and ninety threemember states of the UN. Spain's Prime
Minister, in making the announcement yesterday, said the recognition is not against the
people of Israel, and certainly notagainst the Jews. He said, rather,
it is not in favor of Hamas, but it is in favor of
coexistence. Yeah, there's a worldto that. There is. You've got
(12:28):
very far ultra right wing of theIsraeli government saying there's no chance. You
have the left wing saying that they'rethe people, saying there has to be
just practical persons of practical people ofPalestinian state. I'm going to do a
whole lot more about that at seventwenty. In terms of the anti Semitism
(12:48):
on school, the word Zionism,what does that mean? Statehood for Israel.
There's a lot of moving parts.This is my wheelhouse anyway, so
I enjoy doing this. So that'sgoing to be on up at seven twenty.
Rudy Giuliani has agreed to never againpublicly accused to Georgia election workers of
(13:11):
campering with votes in the twenty twentyelection. So he made this false accusation
and he's repeatedly and frequently banging itover the head. Some say it led
to his bankruptcy, downfall of hisjob, everything else going on, and
he apparently has agreed that he won'tsay it publicly. Yeah, which I
(13:35):
don't know why he's agreed to it. I mean, they've already won one
hundred and forty eight million dollars judgmentagainst them for defamation, which of course
we'll never be able to pay.So what's the downside, you know,
is what's the agreement? Either youstop it or you're going to throw you
in jail for thirty years. There'sa First Amendment issue. All they can
do, all the people can dowho have been accused of sue for defamation,
(13:58):
and they have and they've won.Now what do you do? So,
as his attorney, you encourage himjust to keep saying it, you
know, I know, no,I just don't understand this guy. You
know, as I said, Iknow someone who does know someone, And
I asked the question, I mean, you know what what happened to this
guy? I mean, he's gonecompletely berserk. He's gone, you know,
(14:20):
he just gone over the edge.And I was told he got caught
up in the Trump orbit. Heis still a true believer. And even
if he spends twenty and he's losingeverything. By the way, he's already
filed for bankruptcy. He's lost hisproperties, he's lost his radio show on
WABC, so he's lost all that. He is now doing some kind of
(14:43):
podcasts and it's a mercy strip thatpeople are subscribing it to it, which
is not very much money, ispardon? Is he married? I don't
know. I don't know. Weshould look that up, but he is.
But I'm told he is a trtrue believer. If he gets twenty
years in prison and you talk tohim nineteen years from now, he'll still
(15:07):
say the election was stolen. DonaldTrump, the greatest president in the history
of the United States. The guyjust drank not only the kool aid,
all the kool aid in great biggulps. All right, he is no
longer married, Okay, yeah,good for her. Does he have children?
(15:28):
I think he does, right,I think so too. Yeah,
we don't know their names because theychange their names as I would. Okay,
don't do that to the flag.Even Republicans are lining up to criticize
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito after apicture surface of an upside down American flag.
(15:50):
Senate Republican whip John Thune called ita bad decision. Senator Lindsay Graham
said it was a mistake, createsa bad image, and others also weigh
in, and of course, theupside down flag became the symbol of the
Stop the Steel movement in the weeksand months after the twenty twenty election.
Yeah, pretty crazy. Democrats areoffended. The Republicans, well, let's
(16:15):
just say Graham says it it's amistake, okay, And a lot of
Republicans are downplaying and some are evendefending Alito. Those are the ones that
walked in into the Senate and theywalked in on their hands and absolutely defended
the whole concept of him doing theflag upside down. I still want to
(16:37):
know why the picture was taken onJanuary seventeenth, twenty twenty one, and
we're just seeing I don't know theanswer to that. New York Times got
it somehow. I think what happenedis it just fell through the cracks,
and finally someone presented it to theNew York Times and said, here you
go. Someone quickly isn't who obviouslyis not tied into the Internet or social
(17:00):
media, because that would have goneviral in two seconds. I think it's
more reasonable for Alito to have comeout and said, no, no,
no, no, the flag wasright side up. We had our house
turned over up here. Yeah,and of course he blamed his wife,
the dog ate the homework. Ihad nothing to do with it. It
was my wife. Now that isnot in reference to how she looks.
(17:23):
But he blames her. Right.That's clever, isn't it had no idea
come home every day. There itis in the front yard on a flagpole,
and I kind of missed it.What was that comedian was it?
I don't know if it was God. I can't remember which comedian it was.
But sentences are something you don't hearevery day. And one of them
(17:47):
was please leave me alone and takethe woman, and then there the other
one was hand me that piano.But that's when you're gonna throw the woman
underneath the bus. Things are bad, all right. A small new study
found that human testicles contain microplastics andnanoplastics at a level three times higher than
(18:08):
animal testes and human placentas. Sothese are tiny, like nanoscale. Yeah,
why wouldn't it be an animal?Think about that for a moment,
because you know they're part of thefood chain. I mean, you know,
they eat grains, We eat grains, we eat animals. Yeah,
but we drink out of plastic containers. We a good points, so right
(18:30):
by that, right, that makessense. Study also found that these tiny
little nanoplastics in your testicles look huge. Yeah, thank you. And I've
been talking about this literally since Istarted practicing third party reproduction, I mean
a zillion years ago. And wetalked about the decline of sperm accounts over
the years, and they have declinedby at least fifty percent over the past
(18:52):
fifty years. That's astronomical. ButI think that has a lot to do
with how often a manates, becauseover by the time it's five times in
one day, the sperm count dropsfairly dramatically. Hey that's science. Okay
that let me tell you. Don'targue with me. That is science.
(19:14):
This is what I studied. Wecould go to a thousand to wait,
two thousand handle listeners and not oneof them is going to say, yeah,
yeah, I tuned in every morningfor the Soviets. Okay, I
go streat to build for the Soviets. Well, you know, when I
started practicing law, I relied onscience and the world of infertility because law
(19:37):
wasn't there. We had to makeit up. Well, keep practicing,
Okay, Well, good luck buyinganything. In California, the statewide median
sales price for a single family homepreviously owned is over nine hundred thousand dollars.
It's up eleven point four percent fromthe same month last year. It's
(19:57):
now climbed more than one hundred thousanddollars in just over two years. That's
crazy. That is crazy. Soit's gone from unaffordable to insanely unaffordable.
And if it keeps on going up, which it looks like it's going to
go up, it's going to beintergalactically unaffordable. Within the next couple of
(20:18):
years, we'll break a million.We'll break a million. Average home in
California. I mean that includes thetents you see in downtown, which you
can get used from RII as asecond for forty bucks. That is included
in the average. I will tellyou, man, if you look up
go on Zillow or whatever, Redsinor whatever, and look up what a
(20:40):
million dollars will get you nothing inthe outskirts of la oh I know.
I'm looking at the New York TimesI read every day and there's a section
about what whatever X dollars will buyyou around the country, you know,
nine hundred thousand, one point fourmillion. And you look at La and
it buys you a three bedroom tobath house and in a good area of
(21:03):
town. And then you go toTennessee and the same million dollars buys you
forty acres this gorgeous six bedroom houseand a mule. Because with every forty
acres you get a mule. Youknow what's cheaper than flying to Amsterdam staying
right here in California. And that'swhat will happen if well, now you've
(21:26):
got a bill that would allow thisAmsterdam style cannabis cafes here in California past
the State Assembly just this week aftera third reading with a fifty six to
six vote. Now you can alwaysyou can still go with dispensary right now
and smoke your brains out. Iwent with my daughter Pamlet. Geez,
what a zoo that was. Imean, I don't smoke, and I
(21:49):
went with her to keep her company. I got high just being in that
room. It was so dense,it looked like a peabod. What this
gives the ability of serving drinks andserving food and serving cannabis right there on
the menu. You know what theycall the cannabis cafes in Amsterdam, they
(22:10):
call them coffee shops. They don'thave coffee shops per se. I mean
they do, but they don't callthem coffee shops. They call cannabis restaurants
coffee shops. Because food yet isvery confusing, and everybody speaks perfect English,
I might add, and how manypeople speak Dutch. Trump is a
(22:34):
little flip floppy. He is sayingthat he is open to supporting regulations on
contraception and that his campaign would releasea policy on the issues shortly, and
then later he said those comments weremisrepresented. Yeah, of course, have
you noticed did you see that videoof him making that statements. He's asked
(22:56):
by this I'm assuming very conservative,uh interviewer, because who else would he
go in front of? And thatquestion was asked, do you support any
restrictions on a person's right to contraception? He has no idea how to answer
that? He has absolutely no idea, And he says We're looking into that
and I'm going to have a policyon that very shortly. What Yeah,
(23:19):
no, I have he has noidea. What he says, I don't
think that's come up. But evenif it has, he at that point
he had no idea, whether hehad a policy, didn't have a policy,
didn't have a policy. What hesaid, what he did, He
came back, but we're looking atthat and I'm going to have a policy
on that very shortly. Uh.It has a lot to do with the
(23:40):
states, and some states are goingto have different policy than others. Do
you have a policy, Uh,I'm going to have a beautiful policy.
He had no idea, He hadno idea what he was talking. Why
would people assume that was restrictions oncontraception. Well, that's a good point
as opposed to a conservative or atleast someone candidate going to the Conservative party.
(24:02):
We're going to hand them out tostay that way. They're going to
stay the way they are now.Well, he has said that it's now
up to the states. And thenbut maybe because he continues to get the
question and he's like, maybe thecampaign needs to have an official policy because
just say the states isn't working.And here's the point. And you do
raise a point, Neil, andit's legitimate. But if you see him
(24:23):
answering or trying to answer that question. I mean, he truly had no
idea of how to answer that otherthan we're going to look at that very
shortly as opposed to you know,that's maybe it's a question of just delivery,
that's all. But he looked likea deer with in the headlights,
of which Joe Biden virtually always does, but usually you don't see that in
(24:47):
Donald Trump like that, that's all. He did go on on his social
media platform and say that he hasnever and will never advocate for restricting birth
control and other contraceptives. He couldeasily have said that. Yeah, then,
much as what I expect, hedid not know. I mean,
he just didn't know what to say. All right. California could eventually join
(25:12):
the European Union in requiring all newcars to be tattletales and narcs. So
I'll give alerts to drivers when theybreak the speed limit. And this course
is to reduce traffic deaths, whichis a good thing. But yeah,
but does it work? I mean, think about that. On any new
(25:32):
car you have, you're already toldwhat the speed limit is. It shows
up on the dashboard, certainly inmy car. So Let's say I'm in
a thirty five mile zone and I'mdoing forty five. It shows that I'm
doing forty five, and it showsthat it's a thirty five mile in our
speed limit. I mean, rightthere on the dashboard. This is going
to give you a beep as if, as if anybody is going to pay
(25:52):
attention to a beep. Now,if he gave you an electric shock through
your ass, that might work.First time. I look into that as
a third party option for you.I could build that. Yeah, you
actually you could. It gives youan electric shock, okay, and but
a slight electric But if someone thenyou want to go commando and just really
(26:17):
enjoy it. But that's only forgetif you have somebody in the passenger seat
that says, oh, well slowdown, will you do that anyway?
That's my mother? Okay, soAmy did the voice for ways. Now
the warden, her mom will dothe voice for this going and then then
then slow down and then maybe you'llslow down. Yeah maybe, but you're
(26:40):
paying I don't buy it. Idon't think anybody would pay attention to it,
although you get used to, youknow, the seatbelt. Do you
know anybody who doesn't put a seatbelton. I don't how how come Kono
just gave us a big toothy grin. You can't because you can't stand the
beeping sound and beat beat, beatbeat beat you go. They actually make
(27:02):
things to bypass that, by theway, Okay, why anybody would do
that is beyond me too. AllRight, we're done, guys. Kf
