Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KPI AM six forty the Bill Handle
Show on demand on the iheartradioph.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Come on, stop it, guys. Until I figured this out, it's.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
A stolen vehicle. Can you see the front wheel? It
looks like it's glowing.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, the right side it breaks?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Or you know what? Do you guys understand something? That
this is radio? And they will badly, I might add.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
He is going fast?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Are we gonna keep on doing this?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Well, it's your show, Bill Oh really?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And good good morning everybody, Bill Handle.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And it's a Friday morning, October third, which means it's
foody Friday. And ask Candle anything. And I'm back from
atoning for my sins. I woke up very early yesterday
to start a toning, and I went to bed very
late and couldn't quite get all of them in.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
There was a very long list. In any case, all.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Right, we can get into the religious aspect of that,
but I'm not going to.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Not even thought it was a day of a Tony,
so you watch. That's why when I.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
First said a day of a Tony, ago Tony.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, watched a bunch of musicals.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah we're talking. I did talk to Tony Sorrentino yesterday.
Good guy, Yeah, good guy. And yeah that was it.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So can I tell you that opening there about the
car chase. We have never ever received so much positive,
so many positive talkbacks ever saying please continue to talk
about the car chase. Okay, Well that tells me one
negative not okay.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Fair enough, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So here's what you want to do on a regular basis, Kno,
Since you are the master of editing, why don't we
just go ahead and put together a car chase who
the hell knows, and we'll do it with sound effects,
you know, all of it, the screeching, the helicopter sound
in the background, wlah blah blah blah, occasional silent siren,
(02:14):
and we'll just make it up and we'll have the exclusive.
By the way, because you will not be able to
go to any of the local television stations that normally
carry these things cover to cover, wall to wall.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I'm going live from the car now. I'm just gonna
look drive around looking for him, and if there aren't any.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We make them up.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The one, right, we make them up, all right, so anyway,
good morning, Neil, good morning you look back are yeah,
I am, yes, and good morning Cone, Good morning Bill,
and Amy there you are, Hi, Bill, welcome, Hey, you're welcome. Yeah,
I done, Tony, and good morning. And by the way,
(02:54):
do you know that there's fasting that goes on. You
keep you fast for twenty four hours, and that's not
only no food, but no water. I mean, it is
a serious fast because, for example, if you're a Muslim,
Ramadan is thirty days, but you're only fast during the
(03:15):
day and then you eat like a pig at night,
which is I think a great way to fast is
you just hold off and then you really eat, not on.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You keep poor.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I mean, you fast, then you go to synagogue and
you do your prayers and you do all of it.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And it's gotta say this traffic was lighter yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It was. It was much lighter. Yeah. Most most Jews,
most Jews are.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Pleasure they call them high holiday Jews, where they only
go to synagogue those days, not during the rest.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Of the year.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
There's holiday Christians too, holiday Catholics.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That okay, that's fair enough, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And one of the I don't go anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know that they sell tickets to go to synagogue.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Oh, thanks for breaking the stereotype.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, well they do.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's a fundraiser, and it's something they don't do collection
plates or anything at church or at synagogue. It's simply well,
they're not interested in coin. They just want checks.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
The tracks.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, that works all right anyway. And but it's free.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I mean if you don't want to, you know, I
mean every synagogue of course, if you want to walk
in and just say it's free, but you will sit
in the nosebleed seats. Okay, what else? Who else can
I make fun of?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Religious wise? In October was another religious holiday, Halloween.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh the Pagans.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yes, yes, let's do that. We'll do are you?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Are we going to do costumes by the way, on
Halloween at the station this year?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Maybe you know what I'll do digital costumes. Will just
take pictures up to the cameras.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That actually would be a lot of fun, wouldn't it.
Let's okay, enough of that, we are digressing. Which, Oh,
how unusual, how unusual the show digresses? Okay, guys, it's
time to do it on a Friday morning.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh, by the way, Kno, just before we go. Do
I have this right?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Only four commercials this morning? It is odd, yes, only full. Wow,
it's a very light day. Rarely rarely to we only
get four commercials. Okay, let's do it. It's time for Handle
on the News with Amy Neil and me lead story
and a big explosion, a massive explosion at the Chevron
(05:49):
refinery in El Segundo. And it was what was it?
On the way back from Sofi And you saw this,
didn't you? Oh I didn't see it. Oh okay, I
heard about.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It all right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah I was asleep. So but oh that's right, you
would have that's just before ten thirty. Well, no, you
were working, you were working. Yeah, in any case, just
this huge thing. And here's the problem with any time
there is a refinery taken off line here in California,
and that is, expect gas prices to go up five
dollars a gallon because that's what ends up happening. How
(06:24):
long like today? I think it was pretty quick. I
think it was up pretty quickly. Yeah, we'll see, we'll
see how much gas goes up today. It'll be several
My guess it'll be several cents a gallon because they
don't build refineries anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You know, if you look at the.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Last what forty years, as California's population has doubled, the
number of refineries has not doubled, not even close.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And a couple more are leaving the stake.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, it's even better because California has these weird rules
with the summer blend and it, so they can't buy
California can't buy gas from outside of the state. All
the other states when they run low on gas, they
just go to the pipeline and they go to the
gasoline grid will if you will, and buy from whoever,
not California. It's got to be California, which is miserable.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yah, says the guy that says vote yes on Prop fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, Yeah, what does one thing have to do with
the other.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Politicians having very specific needs for our gas in California
has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, I think it's more of the environmental that's right
without I think we should let the Southern states manufacture
new districts to make sure that Republican Congressation.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Okay, that gas down there, you go, all right? Moving on.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Okay, So.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
There was a car and a knife used in an
attack on a synagogue yesterday in Manchester or two people died,
others were hurt. Well, now they're saying that one of
the victims actually died from a gunshot wound, not a
knife or a car. And they say that they believe
that two of the people affected were huddled behind a
(08:17):
door in the synagogue trying to get the attacker not
to be able to come into the building and they
ended up getting shot. They said that the wounds were
consistent with a gunshot industry so injury. So it appears
that police may have shot them as they were trying
to go after the attacker.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
From what I understand, the attacker did not have a weapon.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Ye had a knife.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
He did it only with a knife, yeah, and so,
and the police killed him because he I don't know
it was it to drop the knife incident or did
he get up and try to go after the cops.
I had no idea, But unfortunately friendly fire and two
members of the congregation were killed.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
As you said, Amelia er Art, so long so lost
maybe located. So Pardue University and some of the researchers
there traveling are set to travel to the South Pacific.
There's this visual anomaly some say that they've seen it
(09:16):
is since the thirties, since the late thirties, you know,
not far not long after the plane disappeared with Earhart
and Noonan her navigator. But they've seen this visual anominally
this thing that is an object of some kind in
the lagoon there and a small island which is about
four hundred miles southeast of Howland Island, which is where
(09:42):
Earhart and Noonan planned to their planned destination. Right, So,
I guess back in nineteen thirty seven, that's when that
took place. Nineteen thirty eight, they started seeing this little
anomaly there, so they're gonna go check and see if
that anomaly is actually the plane.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Every once in a while, you hear we found it,
we found the plane.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean, that's been going on for literally decades and decades.
What January twentieth of this year, they had announced that
they found the plane under a pizza parlor in Chicago,
And so you just don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
No, But in twenty twenty, in twenty twenty they did
is when they started zeroing in on this particular location
thinking it's it, and they're just putting together, Yeah, we
know she.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Was lost somebody and howel An Island is this spec
and they were going to go and refuel there she
and Noonan and totally disappear. It's one of the great
disappearing stories of the previous centuries.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
So you think they'd still find bones. Yeah, I don't know,
why not place like that?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Did we have to find any bones in the Titanic?
Or is that just all consumed by animals?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I think, you know, I don't even know. I don't
think there were bones because that was down to ten
thousand feet Yeah, and I don't know if I don't
even know do bones survive? I mean, this was in
a lagoon, probably forty feet underwater. I mean, this was nothing.
But that's a good question, a matter of fact. And
would you look that up? I mean, whatever's preserved is
(11:14):
preserved at ten thousand feet below a sea level. But
do bones survive at that depth? And I don't know
the answer.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
If they find this, I mean, just think about how
many years it is taken.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well, one hundred and well almost one hundred years, ninety
years something like that.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, all right, No human bones have been found in
the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Rick, Okay, So my guess is that they have been
consumed were crushed or whatever happens at ten thousand.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Or jack crushing, pressure, corrosive salt water, and deep sea
scavengers have caused them to decompose and dissolve over time.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
There's the answer exactly. But they are dense and resistant
to pressure.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
So is Bill.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Thank you Today it's a foody Friday, and also ask
handle anything Friday, which is always fun sort of my
last well, my favorite hour because it's the last hour
of the last day of the last month of the
last year.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Or who you work on Saturdays.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, that's true. It's a World War One reference.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Used to be yeah, used to be Armistic day. Now
it's Memorial Day. All right, guys, let's do it more
handle on the news with Amy Neil and me in.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It to win it.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
President Trump says the United States is in an armed
conflict with drug cartels. He sent a notification to Capitol
Hill seeking to give legal cover for taking lethal action
against potential drug traffickers. Remember, there have been several strikes
against what the administration says are Venezuelan boats in international waters.
(12:55):
We've seen the video of them blowing up the boats
that the administration has said we're filled with drugs. Some
lawmakers say those were unlawful military strikes on alleged civilian
criminals in the Western Hemisphere. So Trump directed the Pentagon
to do operations pursuant to the law of armed conflict
after he determined that the US is in a non
(13:17):
international armed conflict with these designated terrorist organizations that have
helped kill US citizens with drugs.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't know whether that's legally within his ability to
do that, because now we may be parsing what's going on.
But I don't think too many people are opposed to this.
And it's pretty easy to tell what one of those
boats look like. You know, they're zipping along at ninety
miles an hour, and they pretty well can tell these
or drug boats.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Well, we've always called it the war on drugs. Now
we're acting now it's a legitimate Yeah, I agree, all right,
is really navy those Gazabound flotillas, they the the strategy
keeps changing. They're looking at getting as many of them
as they can out there, so it's harder for Israeli
(14:08):
police officers and the like to keep them from getting
to Gaza. So they were deployed yesterday and the southern
port ofd and to process some four hundred and fifty
international activists.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's a lot forty boats up there, and thinking that
the Israeli Navy or the Israeli coast Guard is not
going to be able to stop so many. They can
stop them, that's not a problem. They can throw up
as many as they want. The Israelis will stop them.
Did you know that Israel has a submarine fleet?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I did, but I learned.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think they have six or eight submarines out there.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And my guess is the next time of flotilla has
one or two more boats than can be picked up
by the navy or their coastguard. You'll see a couple
of these flotilla human.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
What's their biggest concern? These are humanitarian?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah boats right, Well, they're concerned two things.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
One is because the argument is that humanitarian aid is
being diverted by Hamas and it's being used to actually
fund Hamas, and I know they're israel Is not putting
up a whole lot of evidence for that one. The
other one is a lot of pressure they want to
put on Gaza, and the more pressure it is they think,
(15:27):
the stronger they are.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Israel. It's not going to block backfire or not, who knows.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But I'm waiting for the Israeli military, the navy to
just start torpedoing some of these aid boats. That is
entertainment just watching those things. I think that would be bad.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Pr Thornbooger would be all.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
How dah you yeah, it wouldn't be now deah you
bob Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
But realistically, for whatever purposes, human aid is just not
going in. That's all there is to it. It's just
not going in. They're stopping it. These activists are just
being stopped cold. And it's in a symbolic by the way,
it's not very much. Even if they will on forty boats,
you're not going to get the bit. And there's small
(16:18):
and they're small boats, and most of them been chartered
by the Venezuela cartel, so they're bringing in drugs.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Okay, let's uh, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I think I have a couple of stories conflated.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
There an out of office message sent without consent. Apparently
several people who've been furloughed from the Department of Education
say they had out of offices messages that blame the
Democrats for the government's shutdown automatically sent from their email
accounts without their consent or their knowledge. The sources are
(16:53):
speaking on condition of anonymity. They're worried about retribution.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
They say the move is disturbing and violating, as well
as one that could potentially impact their professional reputations.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Let me ask this, and I maybe I misheard this
yesterday that I heard a story about an official notification
from the TSA to some of its employees saying you
are furloughed because the Democrats won't come to the table
and it's their fault.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Did I get that right?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I haven't seen that particular message, but it sounds like
that's what these were out of office messages.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Now this one was yet right.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
But this one I had heard, and I don't know
if it's true or not, came directly from the TSA
to subordinates.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And I don't know the answer.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But you know, I mean, at what point do you say, Okay,
it's the Republican's fault. Now you go ahead of these
agencies saying it's the Democrats the Democrats? I mean, is
there anything that is not politicized anything?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Although your government shut down is pretty purely political isn't it.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, No, I know, I don't know, I don't miss uh,
you know, please don't misunderstand.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But the notification to employees that they have been furloughed,
do you think that should have political overtones?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Well, they're coming, they're probably.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
That is about as petty as you can get at that. Yeah,
I'm yeah, that is about as petty as you can get.
To put it in and out. We will not be
working today because of the Democrats. Please please reach out
maybe in another week to see if those damn Democrats
(18:37):
have have pulled their head out. It doesn't go back
to work organization. That's funny, sad, but funny. All right, Amazon,
we've talked about this before, Bill, about the private labels
doing very well, like Kirkland and at your local stores.
In Amazon, although they have their you know, a couple
(18:59):
of private labels launching their own private label brand called
Amazon Grocery, which will be the umbrella for all of
their little brands. And this is to challenge Costco and Walmart,
any of these groups that are coming up with their
really high end private labels that people seem to be
switching before you never did. That was the whole thing
(19:19):
in marketing, right, You've got to grab somebody early. They
have brand loyalty, and then they die using that brand
and we're switching. Now. I have many of these you
know stories.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Well look at look how what percentage of food as
a result, as a percentage of sales this Costco selling
food huge churned out? And where was I yesterday? Of
course I was at Costco. Yeah, I was atoning at Costco.
And with your proteges, I generally try to go for
(19:52):
the I generally try to go for the snacks and samples.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
But it's the Costco I go to.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
There are a lot of very aggressive Korean ladies who
push be out of the way.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And so we should.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And now you know what they're doing now is the
demonstrators are they're hawking. I mean they're hawking like they're
at a circus midway samples, sapples there, try your samples and.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Never the ones, not the demonstrate.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
I was thinking of protesters when you said demonstrate, you're
talking about the people who give out the samples, didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I say, oh, demonstrators as in those who demonstrate.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Okay, yeah, I got.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
It, and yeah they're I want to go to them
and go, hey, you know what, there's some English second
language courses at your junior college.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You may want to consider those.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Book But that's a no no because that's everybody who
works at Costco and hands out samples.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
You're still a racist, Well yeah, well that's one you'll
go to a bad one.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Let me ask me, if you hate every single race,
does that make you a racist? If you if you
hate your own race, does that make your races?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, it just means that you're well rounded.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Turning out the lights in the city of Lights. Nationwide
strikes in France have led to the closure of the
Eiffel Tower. About eighty five thousand demonstrators hit the streets
to protest governments spending cuts. So they said, okay, fine,
the Eiffel Tower is shutting down. No reopening date has
been posted as of last night. The strikes come as
(21:32):
President Macron and his new Prime Minister Sebastian Lacarneu negotiate
the country's budget. Union leaders are advocating for more spending
on public services, a reversal of an increase to the
retirement age, and higher taxes for the wealthy.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Right, well, that's a French that's the French.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean they got a little upset with the retirement
age of thirty six and one can bring it down
to thirty four, and they are nine weeks of vacation. Now,
a couple things about the Eiffel Tower. If you ever
get to go to France, first place to see the
Eiffel Tower is on the Eiffel Tower. It is a
monumental waste of time. What you want to do is
see the Eiffel Tower and that lit up against the
(22:12):
skylight of.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Paris.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And so there are a couple of great places to
do it. So I don't think it's any great loss
for those. And it's a fortune to get up there,
and you got to climb the stairs. And if you
want to have food there the Jules Verne restaurant, it's
a Michelin star restaurant. It's nine thousand dollars for a meal.
I mean, it's crazy, man, Yeah, no, it's so no
(22:36):
great shakes.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
You know, this is Europe.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You know, in Europe, go to in Italy, for example,
you can go to the newspaper in Italy and they
print up the dates of the strikes that are going
to be happening throughout the year. Seriously, they print up
the dates.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
When do they get anything done? Does Europe actually work?
It's weird. They want to retire by noon? Yeah, pretty much.
Oh my gosh, more time for our art, all right.
Texas Mega Church founder m m mmmm. He is pleading
guilty to sexual abuse. What a horrible story. Mega Church
(23:17):
founder Robert Morris has been accused and he finally coughed
to it. Uh, it's you know, to have a predator
like this in a power position over a church, especially
this large is horrific. And he didn't apologize either. The
(23:38):
young girl said that she came forward. What a brave
human she is to say that there that she knows
that she can't be the only one to any of
these stories.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
When you think about the kind of craziness going out there.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, you know, I told John Cobalt once, I said,
not everybody in the church is crazy, but everybody everybody
that's crazy is in a church.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
So there's a difference to it. But the religion does
attract nuts.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Not everybody is nuts, but it's because it's a great place.
That is a good place to be hidden. You know,
why are so many for example, Scout leaders and clergymen.
Why there are so many, I think relatively speaking. I
don't know the statistics percentage wise, but those are great
organizations if you are a child predator to be protected
(24:32):
and stay hidden. Particularly I mean the Catholic Church, which
actually protected those people outright for decades and decades, which
is knowing about it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yeah, one of the reasons why I left the Catholic Church, honestly.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So, somebody's lurking off the coast.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Venezuela says it has detected US fighter jets near its
Caribbean coast. The Defense minister said it was a provocation
by the United States opposed a threat to national security.
Later yesterday, the Venezuelan government then issued a statement saying
the aircraft had been detected about forty six miles off
(25:11):
the coast, away from standard territorial waters, which are about
twelve nautical miles off coast.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
This is international waters.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
A provocation, I think Venezuela should send up one or
two of its own fighter jets and maybe attack American planes.
What do you think that'll show the US will show
them provocation?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, I mean, you know, we fly all over the place.
They fly all over the place. You know.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Russians fly all over the place, the US goes near
Russian airspace. It just happens all the time. Venezuela. This
guy Maduro is kind of really crazy. He's yeah, he's
up to his eyeballs and all the bad stuff that's
going on out there.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
California News, Oh, I thought you were going to go
to a break. No, sure, the votes of Californians. You know,
we're dilly deli. And you get at last minute, November fourth,
you drop your ballot in a mail box, and now
you have Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State
(26:17):
Shirley Weber. They're saying, you know, they may not be
counted because the speed in which the US Postal Service
gets them and puts the stamp on them. They have
to have the date, stamp and all that on them beforehand.
And they said, you know, this is a problem because
you have voters who live fifty miles or more from
(26:38):
regional mail processing facilities in Los Angeles, Belt Garden, San Diego,
Santa Clarita and these areas that may not be eligible
because of the postmark has to be on or before
election day.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, so if you're going to vote, vote early.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And as Neil said, in this case, if you Deley,
there will be no Deli.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah. That's my biggest concern is that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Is well, you started that.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
That should be your new tag, just like Conway Deale Deli.
Why don't we take a break now, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And will Yeah? Yeah, and we'll finish leadall handle in
the news all right.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Uh, there are penalties for playing with the president. Governor
Newsom has threatened to cut billions of dollars in state
funding to universities, including usc UH, to any campus that
agrees to a Trump administration UH compact to enact sweeping,
largely conservative campus policies in exchange for prior priority access
(27:41):
to funding. Newsom said if any California university signs this
rattical agreement, they will lose billions in state funding, including
cal grants. California will not bankroll schools that sell out
their students, professors, researchers, and surrender academic freedoms.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
This is well, I'm going to talk more about this
seven o'clock. This is Newsome and the President playing chicken
with each other at the university level, particularly by the
way University California Davis, where they study poultry sciences.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's where they really are playing chicken. The point is what.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You're fine, Okay, thank you very much, But it was
so no right and wrong anymore. No one's standing up
for what's best. They're just playing against each other, and
we get to sit here and get screwed.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
As I think.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I'll tell you, I'm going to give Newsome the moral
high ground on this one. I really am, because it's
it's fighting back for what I believe is a position
that is not fit K.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
And then the right would say that Trump was fighting
a back against the democratic rule from previous administrations, and
then we keep going back to an infinite regression.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Except and I'm going to throw something in university, whether
it was liberal or liberal or conservative, and I happen
to think the universities are have been a wildly left wing.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I'm not argamating to start that way.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It's well, it's even going on that way for all
started by religionists. Oh yeah, okay, let's go to John Okay,
let's go to John Harvard. You know who started this
little theo theological logical. But thank you back in the
sixteen hundreds in Massachusetts. I'm talking about modern day universities
which are wildly left wing, but they've been left alone.
(29:24):
The point is academic freedom is academic freedom, and that
is the point. He's not going to see the Trump
administraries just start screaming about Brigham Young University. Oh no,
that's different. So that's the point I'm making, all right, Neil. Yeah,
I can't hear you, but that's a say.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
If you justify these things, there is no moral ground.
It's just people coming up with their own excuses. Is
twy it's moral.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I am going to talk more about that at seven
o'clock and dive into the political aspects of that, and
the morality will leave to mister moral.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And that's over there in the where Neil hangs.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Out God forbid reason, there's the morality center of our show.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Moving on, it ain't you, sister, Neil Europe.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I'm taking my time. Yeah, woman admits to stealing two
point eight million. She worked for an instant noodle company
and now she's in hot water in Orange County. You
had this woman. She oversaw all the you know, the
monies going on, and those are the ones that usually
(30:34):
embezzle slowly but surely over the years between twenty seventeen
and twenty twenty three, she embezzled more than two point
eight million. And you know, the first thing people do.
It's not like they save and they you know, it's
like all these riches like jewelry and designer bags, and
she brought bought property in Alabama and Hawaii and all
(30:58):
these things. And you eventually get caught. Somebody goes, the
numbers aren't numbering, and they come after you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Okay, this was Oh it was a ramen company.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeses a noodle company.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Okay. Were you a college student eating a lot of ramen?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Was that you?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Okay, I still eat a lot of Roman.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Glad to hear that.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Oh, that's right, because you work here at iHeart there
you go. Of course you eat a.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Lot of ramen.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh the drones.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Munich Airport in Germany is becoming the latest airport to
have to shut down because of drone sightings a little
too close to for comfort. The airport was shut for
several hours. Seventeen flights were grounded. It was shut down
from about ten pm until five am the next day.
(31:48):
Fifteen arriving flights had to be diverted to other cities
because of the drone sightings, they had about three thousand
passengers affected, and so they had picked of some of
the passengers who are just stuck there overnight, sleeping in
a row of camp beds and they have food and
drink and blanket.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Have this become more and more prevalent? What a problem
can have to just develop? And I'm assuming the technology's
out there, some kind of death ray. A drone goes
too close to an airport, boom just takes it out
right there and just it falls down.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Well, it's all done by you know RF. It's all
radio frequencies. I'm surprised they are.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
But they can just knock it out right, those free
knock them down. Why, it's just why do you need this?
You know, these cockroaches who decide they're going to interfere
in commercial airspace near airports where people land, where air
traffic controllers are too busy not working because they're out
on strike. Okay, we'll be back with that kf I
(32:48):
am sixty.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Catch my show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to KPI AM six forty the Bill Handle
Show on demand on the iheartradioph.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Come on, stop it, guys. Until I figured this out, it's.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
A stolen vehicle. Can you see the front wheel? It
looks like it's glowing.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I saw that.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, the right side it breaks?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Or you know what? Do you guys understand something? That
this is radio? And they will badly, I might add.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
He is going fast?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Are we gonna keep on doing this?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Well, it's your show, Bill Oh really?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And good good morning everybody, Bill Handle.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And it's a Friday morning, October third, which means it's
foody Friday. And ask Candle anything. And I'm back from
atoning for my sins. I woke up very early yesterday
to start a toning, and I went to bed very
late and couldn't quite get all of them in.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
There was a very long list. In any case, all.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Right, we can get into the religious aspect of that,
but I'm not going to.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Not even thought it was a day of a Tony,
so you watch. That's why when I.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
First said a day of a Tony, ago Tony.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, watched a bunch of musicals.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah we're talking. I did talk to Tony Sorrentino yesterday.
Good guy, Yeah, good guy. And yeah that was it.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
So can I tell you that opening there about the
car chase. We have never ever received so much positive,
so many positive talkbacks ever saying please continue to talk
about the car chase. Okay, Well that tells me one
negative not okay.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Fair enough, fair enough.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So here's what you want to do on a regular basis, Kno,
Since you are the master of editing, why don't we
just go ahead and put together a car chase who
the hell knows, and we'll do it with sound effects,
you know, all of it, the screeching, the helicopter sound
in the background, wlah blah blah blah, occasional silent siren,
(02:14):
and we'll just make it up and we'll have the exclusive.
By the way, because you will not be able to
go to any of the local television stations that normally
carry these things cover to cover, wall to wall.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I'm going live from the car now. I'm just gonna
look drive around looking for him, and if there aren't any.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We make them up.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The one, right, we make them up, all right, so anyway,
good morning, Neil, good morning you look back are yeah,
I am, yes, and good morning Cone, Good morning Bill,
and Amy there you are, Hi, Bill, welcome, Hey, you're welcome. Yeah,
I done, Tony, and good morning. And by the way,
(02:54):
do you know that there's fasting that goes on. You
keep you fast for twenty four hours, and that's not
only no food, but no water. I mean, it is
a serious fast because, for example, if you're a Muslim,
Ramadan is thirty days, but you're only fast during the
(03:15):
day and then you eat like a pig at night,
which is I think a great way to fast is
you just hold off and then you really eat, not on.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You keep poor.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I mean, you fast, then you go to synagogue and
you do your prayers and you do all of it.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And it's gotta say this traffic was lighter yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It was. It was much lighter. Yeah. Most most Jews,
most Jews are.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Pleasure they call them high holiday Jews, where they only
go to synagogue those days, not during the rest.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Of the year.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
There's holiday Christians too, holiday Catholics.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That okay, that's fair enough, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And one of the I don't go anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You know that they sell tickets to go to synagogue.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Oh, thanks for breaking the stereotype.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, well they do.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's a fundraiser, and it's something they don't do collection
plates or anything at church or at synagogue. It's simply well,
they're not interested in coin. They just want checks.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
The tracks.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, that works all right anyway. And but it's free.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I mean if you don't want to, you know, I
mean every synagogue of course, if you want to walk
in and just say it's free, but you will sit
in the nosebleed seats. Okay, what else? Who else can
I make fun of?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Religious wise? In October was another religious holiday, Halloween.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh the Pagans.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yes, yes, let's do that. We'll do are you?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Are we going to do costumes by the way, on
Halloween at the station this year?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Maybe you know what I'll do digital costumes. Will just
take pictures up to the cameras.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That actually would be a lot of fun, wouldn't it.
Let's okay, enough of that, we are digressing. Which, Oh,
how unusual, how unusual the show digresses? Okay, guys, it's
time to do it on a Friday morning.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh, by the way, Kno, just before we go. Do
I have this right?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Only four commercials this morning? It is odd, yes, only full. Wow,
it's a very light day. Rarely rarely to we only
get four commercials. Okay, let's do it. It's time for Handle
on the News with Amy Neil and me lead story
and a big explosion, a massive explosion at the Chevron
(05:49):
refinery in El Segundo. And it was what was it?
On the way back from Sofi And you saw this,
didn't you? Oh I didn't see it. Oh okay, I
heard about.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It all right.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah I was asleep. So but oh that's right, you
would have that's just before ten thirty. Well, no, you
were working, you were working. Yeah, in any case, just
this huge thing. And here's the problem with any time
there is a refinery taken off line here in California,
and that is, expect gas prices to go up five
dollars a gallon because that's what ends up happening. How
(06:24):
long like today? I think it was pretty quick. I
think it was up pretty quickly. Yeah, we'll see, we'll
see how much gas goes up today. It'll be several
My guess it'll be several cents a gallon because they
don't build refineries anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You know, if you look at the.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Last what forty years, as California's population has doubled, the
number of refineries has not doubled, not even close.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And a couple more are leaving the stake.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, it's even better because California has these weird rules
with the summer blend and it, so they can't buy
California can't buy gas from outside of the state. All
the other states when they run low on gas, they
just go to the pipeline and they go to the
gasoline grid will if you will, and buy from whoever,
not California. It's got to be California, which is miserable.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yah, says the guy that says vote yes on Prop fifty.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, Yeah, what does one thing have to do with
the other.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Politicians having very specific needs for our gas in California
has nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, I think it's more of the environmental that's right
without I think we should let the Southern states manufacture
new districts to make sure that Republican Congressation.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Okay, that gas down there, you go, all right? Moving on.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Okay, So.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
There was a car and a knife used in an
attack on a synagogue yesterday in Manchester or two people died,
others were hurt. Well, now they're saying that one of
the victims actually died from a gunshot wound, not a
knife or a car. And they say that they believe
that two of the people affected were huddled behind a
(08:17):
door in the synagogue trying to get the attacker not
to be able to come into the building and they
ended up getting shot. They said that the wounds were
consistent with a gunshot industry so injury. So it appears
that police may have shot them as they were trying
to go after the attacker.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
From what I understand, the attacker did not have a weapon.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Ye had a knife.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
He did it only with a knife, yeah, and so,
and the police killed him because he I don't know
it was it to drop the knife incident or did
he get up and try to go after the cops.
I had no idea, But unfortunately friendly fire and two
members of the congregation were killed.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
As you said, Amelia er Art, so long so lost
maybe located. So Pardue University and some of the researchers
there traveling are set to travel to the South Pacific.
There's this visual anomaly some say that they've seen it
(09:16):
is since the thirties, since the late thirties, you know,
not far not long after the plane disappeared with Earhart
and Noonan her navigator. But they've seen this visual anominally
this thing that is an object of some kind in
the lagoon there and a small island which is about
four hundred miles southeast of Howland Island, which is where
(09:42):
Earhart and Noonan planned to their planned destination. Right, So,
I guess back in nineteen thirty seven, that's when that
took place. Nineteen thirty eight, they started seeing this little
anomaly there, so they're gonna go check and see if
that anomaly is actually the plane.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Every once in a while, you hear we found it,
we found the plane.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I mean, that's been going on for literally decades and decades.
What January twentieth of this year, they had announced that
they found the plane under a pizza parlor in Chicago,
And so you just don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
No, But in twenty twenty, in twenty twenty they did
is when they started zeroing in on this particular location
thinking it's it, and they're just putting together, Yeah, we
know she.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Was lost somebody and howel An Island is this spec
and they were going to go and refuel there she
and Noonan and totally disappear. It's one of the great
disappearing stories of the previous centuries.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
So you think they'd still find bones. Yeah, I don't know,
why not place like that?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Sure? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Did we have to find any bones in the Titanic?
Or is that just all consumed by animals?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I think, you know, I don't even know. I don't
think there were bones because that was down to ten
thousand feet Yeah, and I don't know if I don't
even know do bones survive? I mean, this was in
a lagoon, probably forty feet underwater. I mean, this was nothing.
But that's a good question, a matter of fact. And
would you look that up? I mean, whatever's preserved is
(11:14):
preserved at ten thousand feet below a sea level. But
do bones survive at that depth? And I don't know
the answer.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
If they find this, I mean, just think about how
many years it is taken.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Well, one hundred and well almost one hundred years, ninety
years something like that.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, all right, No human bones have been found in
the Titanic.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Rick, Okay, So my guess is that they have been
consumed were crushed or whatever happens at ten thousand.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Or jack crushing, pressure, corrosive salt water, and deep sea
scavengers have caused them to decompose and dissolve over time.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
There's the answer exactly. But they are dense and resistant
to pressure.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
So is Bill.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Thank you Today it's a foody Friday, and also ask
handle anything Friday, which is always fun sort of my
last well, my favorite hour because it's the last hour
of the last day of the last month of the
last year.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Or who you work on Saturdays.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, that's true. It's a World War One reference.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Used to be yeah, used to be Armistic day. Now
it's Memorial Day. All right, guys, let's do it more
handle on the news with Amy Neil and me in.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It to win it.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
President Trump says the United States is in an armed
conflict with drug cartels. He sent a notification to Capitol
Hill seeking to give legal cover for taking lethal action
against potential drug traffickers. Remember, there have been several strikes
against what the administration says are Venezuelan boats in international waters.
(12:55):
We've seen the video of them blowing up the boats
that the administration has said we're filled with drugs. Some
lawmakers say those were unlawful military strikes on alleged civilian
criminals in the Western Hemisphere. So Trump directed the Pentagon
to do operations pursuant to the law of armed conflict
after he determined that the US is in a non
(13:17):
international armed conflict with these designated terrorist organizations that have
helped kill US citizens with drugs.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't know whether that's legally within his ability to
do that, because now we may be parsing what's going on.
But I don't think too many people are opposed to this.
And it's pretty easy to tell what one of those
boats look like. You know, they're zipping along at ninety
miles an hour, and they pretty well can tell these
or drug boats.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Well, we've always called it the war on drugs. Now
we're acting now it's a legitimate Yeah, I agree, all right,
is really navy those Gazabound flotillas, they the the strategy
keeps changing. They're looking at getting as many of them
as they can out there, so it's harder for Israeli
(14:08):
police officers and the like to keep them from getting
to Gaza. So they were deployed yesterday and the southern
port ofd and to process some four hundred and fifty
international activists.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's a lot forty boats up there, and thinking that
the Israeli Navy or the Israeli coast Guard is not
going to be able to stop so many. They can
stop them, that's not a problem. They can throw up
as many as they want. The Israelis will stop them.
Did you know that Israel has a submarine fleet?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I did, but I learned.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think they have six or eight submarines out there.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
And my guess is the next time of flotilla has
one or two more boats than can be picked up
by the navy or their coastguard. You'll see a couple
of these flotilla human.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
What's their biggest concern? These are humanitarian?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeah boats right, Well, they're concerned two things.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
One is because the argument is that humanitarian aid is
being diverted by Hamas and it's being used to actually
fund Hamas, and I know they're israel Is not putting
up a whole lot of evidence for that one. The
other one is a lot of pressure they want to
put on Gaza, and the more pressure it is they think,
(15:27):
the stronger they are.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Israel. It's not going to block backfire or not, who knows.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
But I'm waiting for the Israeli military, the navy to
just start torpedoing some of these aid boats. That is
entertainment just watching those things. I think that would be bad.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Pr Thornbooger would be all.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
How dah you yeah, it wouldn't be now deah you
bob Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
But realistically, for whatever purposes, human aid is just not
going in. That's all there is to it. It's just
not going in. They're stopping it. These activists are just
being stopped cold. And it's in a symbolic by the way,
it's not very much. Even if they will on forty boats,
you're not going to get the bit. And there's small
(16:18):
and they're small boats, and most of them been chartered
by the Venezuela cartel, so they're bringing in drugs.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Okay, let's uh, let's move on.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
I think I have a couple of stories conflated.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
There an out of office message sent without consent. Apparently
several people who've been furloughed from the Department of Education
say they had out of offices messages that blame the
Democrats for the government's shutdown automatically sent from their email
accounts without their consent or their knowledge. The sources are
(16:53):
speaking on condition of anonymity. They're worried about retribution.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
They say the move is disturbing and violating, as well
as one that could potentially impact their professional reputations.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Let me ask this, and I maybe I misheard this
yesterday that I heard a story about an official notification
from the TSA to some of its employees saying you
are furloughed because the Democrats won't come to the table
and it's their fault.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Did I get that right?
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I haven't seen that particular message, but it sounds like
that's what these were out of office messages.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Now this one was yet right.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
But this one I had heard, and I don't know
if it's true or not, came directly from the TSA
to subordinates.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
And I don't know the answer.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But you know, I mean, at what point do you say, Okay,
it's the Republican's fault. Now you go ahead of these
agencies saying it's the Democrats the Democrats? I mean, is
there anything that is not politicized anything?
Speaker 5 (17:54):
Although your government shut down is pretty purely political isn't it.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, No, I know, I don't know, I don't miss uh,
you know, please don't misunderstand.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But the notification to employees that they have been furloughed,
do you think that should have political overtones?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Well, they're coming, they're probably.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
That is about as petty as you can get at that. Yeah,
I'm yeah, that is about as petty as you can get.
To put it in and out. We will not be
working today because of the Democrats. Please please reach out
maybe in another week to see if those damn Democrats
(18:37):
have have pulled their head out. It doesn't go back
to work organization. That's funny, sad, but funny. All right, Amazon,
we've talked about this before, Bill, about the private labels
doing very well, like Kirkland and at your local stores.
In Amazon, although they have their you know, a couple
(18:59):
of private labels launching their own private label brand called
Amazon Grocery, which will be the umbrella for all of
their little brands. And this is to challenge Costco and Walmart,
any of these groups that are coming up with their
really high end private labels that people seem to be
switching before you never did. That was the whole thing
(19:19):
in marketing, right, You've got to grab somebody early. They
have brand loyalty, and then they die using that brand
and we're switching. Now. I have many of these you
know stories.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Well look at look how what percentage of food as
a result, as a percentage of sales this Costco selling
food huge churned out? And where was I yesterday? Of
course I was at Costco. Yeah, I was atoning at Costco.
And with your proteges, I generally try to go for
(19:52):
the I generally try to go for the snacks and samples.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
But it's the Costco I go to.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
There are a lot of very aggressive Korean ladies who
push be out of the way.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
And so we should.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And now you know what they're doing now is the
demonstrators are they're hawking. I mean they're hawking like they're
at a circus midway samples, sapples there, try your samples and.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Never the ones, not the demonstrate.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
I was thinking of protesters when you said demonstrate, you're
talking about the people who give out the samples, didn't.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I say, oh, demonstrators as in those who demonstrate.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Okay, yeah, I got.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
It, and yeah they're I want to go to them
and go, hey, you know what, there's some English second
language courses at your junior college.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You may want to consider those.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Book But that's a no no because that's everybody who
works at Costco and hands out samples.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
You're still a racist, Well yeah, well that's one you'll
go to a bad one.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Let me ask me, if you hate every single race,
does that make you a racist? If you if you
hate your own race, does that make your races?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, it just means that you're well rounded.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Turning out the lights in the city of Lights. Nationwide
strikes in France have led to the closure of the
Eiffel Tower. About eighty five thousand demonstrators hit the streets
to protest governments spending cuts. So they said, okay, fine,
the Eiffel Tower is shutting down. No reopening date has
been posted as of last night. The strikes come as
(21:32):
President Macron and his new Prime Minister Sebastian Lacarneu negotiate
the country's budget. Union leaders are advocating for more spending
on public services, a reversal of an increase to the
retirement age, and higher taxes for the wealthy.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Right, well, that's a French that's the French.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I mean they got a little upset with the retirement
age of thirty six and one can bring it down
to thirty four, and they are nine weeks of vacation. Now,
a couple things about the Eiffel Tower. If you ever
get to go to France, first place to see the
Eiffel Tower is on the Eiffel Tower. It is a
monumental waste of time. What you want to do is
see the Eiffel Tower and that lit up against the
(22:12):
skylight of.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Paris.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And so there are a couple of great places to
do it. So I don't think it's any great loss
for those. And it's a fortune to get up there,
and you got to climb the stairs. And if you
want to have food there the Jules Verne restaurant, it's
a Michelin star restaurant. It's nine thousand dollars for a meal.
I mean, it's crazy, man, Yeah, no, it's so no
(22:36):
great shakes.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
You know, this is Europe.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You know, in Europe, go to in Italy, for example,
you can go to the newspaper in Italy and they
print up the dates of the strikes that are going
to be happening throughout the year. Seriously, they print up
the dates.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
When do they get anything done? Does Europe actually work?
It's weird. They want to retire by noon? Yeah, pretty much.
Oh my gosh, more time for our art, all right.
Texas Mega Church founder m m mmmm. He is pleading
guilty to sexual abuse. What a horrible story. Mega Church
(23:17):
founder Robert Morris has been accused and he finally coughed
to it. Uh, it's you know, to have a predator
like this in a power position over a church, especially
this large is horrific. And he didn't apologize either. The
(23:38):
young girl said that she came forward. What a brave
human she is to say that there that she knows
that she can't be the only one to any of
these stories.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
When you think about the kind of craziness going out there.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, you know, I told John Cobalt once, I said,
not everybody in the church is crazy, but everybody everybody
that's crazy is in a church.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
That makes sense.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
So there's a difference to it. But the religion does
attract nuts.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Not everybody is nuts, but it's because it's a great place.
That is a good place to be hidden. You know,
why are so many for example, Scout leaders and clergymen.
Why there are so many, I think relatively speaking. I
don't know the statistics percentage wise, but those are great
organizations if you are a child predator to be protected
(24:32):
and stay hidden. Particularly I mean the Catholic Church, which
actually protected those people outright for decades and decades, which
is knowing about it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Yeah, one of the reasons why I left the Catholic Church, honestly.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So, somebody's lurking off the coast.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Venezuela says it has detected US fighter jets near its
Caribbean coast. The Defense minister said it was a provocation
by the United States opposed a threat to national security.
Later yesterday, the Venezuelan government then issued a statement saying
the aircraft had been detected about forty six miles off
(25:11):
the coast, away from standard territorial waters, which are about
twelve nautical miles off coast.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
This is international waters.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
A provocation, I think Venezuela should send up one or
two of its own fighter jets and maybe attack American planes.
What do you think that'll show the US will show
them provocation?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, I mean, you know, we fly all over the place.
They fly all over the place. You know.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Russians fly all over the place, the US goes near
Russian airspace. It just happens all the time. Venezuela. This
guy Maduro is kind of really crazy. He's yeah, he's
up to his eyeballs and all the bad stuff that's
going on out there.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
California News, Oh, I thought you were going to go
to a break. No, sure, the votes of Californians. You know,
we're dilly deli. And you get at last minute, November fourth,
you drop your ballot in a mail box, and now
you have Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State
(26:17):
Shirley Weber. They're saying, you know, they may not be
counted because the speed in which the US Postal Service
gets them and puts the stamp on them. They have
to have the date, stamp and all that on them beforehand.
And they said, you know, this is a problem because
you have voters who live fifty miles or more from
(26:38):
regional mail processing facilities in Los Angeles, Belt Garden, San Diego,
Santa Clarita and these areas that may not be eligible
because of the postmark has to be on or before
election day.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, so if you're going to vote, vote early.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And as Neil said, in this case, if you Deley,
there will be no Deli.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah. That's my biggest concern is that.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Is well, you started that.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
That should be your new tag, just like Conway Deale Deli.
Why don't we take a break now, what do you think?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And will Yeah? Yeah, and we'll finish leadall handle in
the news all right.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
Uh, there are penalties for playing with the president. Governor
Newsom has threatened to cut billions of dollars in state
funding to universities, including usc UH, to any campus that
agrees to a Trump administration UH compact to enact sweeping,
largely conservative campus policies in exchange for prior priority access
(27:41):
to funding. Newsom said if any California university signs this
rattical agreement, they will lose billions in state funding, including
cal grants. California will not bankroll schools that sell out
their students, professors, researchers, and surrender academic freedoms.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
This is well, I'm going to talk more about this
seven o'clock. This is Newsome and the President playing chicken
with each other at the university level, particularly by the
way University California Davis, where they study poultry sciences.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's where they really are playing chicken. The point is what.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
You're fine, Okay, thank you very much, But it was
so no right and wrong anymore. No one's standing up
for what's best. They're just playing against each other, and
we get to sit here and get screwed.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
As I think.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I'll tell you, I'm going to give Newsome the moral
high ground on this one. I really am, because it's
it's fighting back for what I believe is a position
that is not fit K.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
And then the right would say that Trump was fighting
a back against the democratic rule from previous administrations, and
then we keep going back to an infinite regression.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Except and I'm going to throw something in university, whether
it was liberal or liberal or conservative, and I happen
to think the universities are have been a wildly left wing.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I'm not argamating to start that way.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It's well, it's even going on that way for all
started by religionists. Oh yeah, okay, let's go to John Okay,
let's go to John Harvard. You know who started this
little theo theological logical. But thank you back in the
sixteen hundreds in Massachusetts. I'm talking about modern day universities
which are wildly left wing, but they've been left alone.
(29:24):
The point is academic freedom is academic freedom, and that
is the point. He's not going to see the Trump
administraries just start screaming about Brigham Young University. Oh no,
that's different. So that's the point I'm making, all right, Neil. Yeah,
I can't hear you, but that's a say.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
If you justify these things, there is no moral ground.
It's just people coming up with their own excuses. Is
twy it's moral.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I am going to talk more about that at seven
o'clock and dive into the political aspects of that, and
the morality will leave to mister moral.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
And that's over there in the where Neil hangs.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Out God forbid reason, there's the morality center of our show.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Moving on, it ain't you, sister, Neil Europe.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I'm taking my time. Yeah, woman admits to stealing two
point eight million. She worked for an instant noodle company
and now she's in hot water in Orange County. You
had this woman. She oversaw all the you know, the
monies going on, and those are the ones that usually
(30:34):
embezzle slowly but surely over the years between twenty seventeen
and twenty twenty three, she embezzled more than two point
eight million. And you know, the first thing people do.
It's not like they save and they you know, it's
like all these riches like jewelry and designer bags, and
she brought bought property in Alabama and Hawaii and all
(30:58):
these things. And you eventually get caught. Somebody goes, the
numbers aren't numbering, and they come after you.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Okay, this was Oh it was a ramen company.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeses a noodle company.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Okay. Were you a college student eating a lot of ramen?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Was that you?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Okay, I still eat a lot of Roman.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Glad to hear that.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Oh, that's right, because you work here at iHeart there
you go. Of course you eat a.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Lot of ramen.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Oh the drones.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Munich Airport in Germany is becoming the latest airport to
have to shut down because of drone sightings a little
too close to for comfort. The airport was shut for
several hours. Seventeen flights were grounded. It was shut down
from about ten pm until five am the next day.
(31:48):
Fifteen arriving flights had to be diverted to other cities
because of the drone sightings, they had about three thousand
passengers affected, and so they had picked of some of
the passengers who are just stuck there overnight, sleeping in
a row of camp beds and they have food and
drink and blanket.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Have this become more and more prevalent? What a problem
can have to just develop? And I'm assuming the technology's
out there, some kind of death ray. A drone goes
too close to an airport, boom just takes it out
right there and just it falls down.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
Well, it's all done by you know RF. It's all
radio frequencies. I'm surprised they are.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
But they can just knock it out right, those free
knock them down. Why, it's just why do you need this?
You know, these cockroaches who decide they're going to interfere
in commercial airspace near airports where people land, where air
traffic controllers are too busy not working because they're out
on strike. Okay, we'll be back with that kf I
(32:48):
am sixty.

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