Testing used to be you would set off a nuclear device.
Now it's all computer simulations. They don't set off bombs.

He didn't get it. Didn't get it, and I didn't
think he'd get it. Even if you hate the guy, Oh,
you can't complain about babies dying and how horrible it is.
And then and then he he brokers it.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
He does, and he's still in a home and he
was the only one that actually could do it. I'll

There's no food though, well I had food handle already ate.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I went last night to what is oh stonefire stonefire Grill,
which I love.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
That place, we too, we all do. But you just
brought enough for you. That's true.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
That's true because I ordered an extra sandwich that I
was going to bring in this morning, an extra try.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Tips sand Oh, so you could have ordered and then
brought it in. That's exactly what I did. How much
did you pay for it?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
I have not.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
You didn't pay for it, did you. I paid for
it with my Yeah, well you have the ability. You
could have paid for it with the You're such a
horrible but you know, here's you don't want my philosophy.
I can't believe you're the bad handle. Here's my philosophy.
Here's my philosophy.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, if you can't get it free or at least wholesale,
you don't need it.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh my god, you're gonna give me a contusion with
your project.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
God? All right, uh, enough of that.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Well, you have humiliated me. I hope so God, I hope.
So if I can't do that by the end of
the week, I square. We're brothers in another life.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Good morning.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Uh so there's Neil and good morning, good morning, and Cono,
good morning, good morning.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
There's you're buying this breakfast this morning, my pleasure?

Speaker 3 (04:28):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Okay, how about this, boy, how about this? I will
buy breakfast this morning. Okay, okay, why do you act
like no? Because you shame me into it. I will
buy breakfast morning. Figure out where you want to go
to breakfast. Door dash the damn thing because we don't
have uh, we don't have interns anymore in the show
that we can send out for food and to figure

(04:50):
it out. And I will buy breakfast. Okay, you shame
me into it.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Thank you. Oh my gosh. The guy who's got a
bad back because of his thick wallet just complained about
it having to buy us breakfast. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
The lady and Amy good morning.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Good morning, Bill and buying breakfast.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, you're right. And the problem is, you know door
dash is now available.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
It used to be where you couldn't get these delivery services,
particularly this time of the morning because there was only
a few places that were opening, and McDonald's would open
and maybe a couple of Burger Kings, and I would say, hey,
let's send an intern out.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I remember I was an intern. Yeah, Jack, I would,
I'd have to go there. And of course it wasn't
plain if the order is wrong.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Right, absolutely, then we didn't have interns anymore because they
weren't willing to pay minimum wage for an intern. And
so I got the credit. I'll buy breakfast and there
was no one to pick it up.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
So I got the credit and didn't pay interns. Oh
that's right. In those days, they didn't pay. Yeah, I
wasn't paid. Yeah, So I left to go to work. Yeah.
So it was the elevator.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
My elevator philosophy of life which you have heard many times,
and that is you're in an elevator.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
You're probably in Bill Handle's home.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Thank you very much, and someone is running towards the
elevator and you go, oh oh, and you push the panel,
not a button, you simply push the panel.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
The door closes, of course, so the.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Whoever it is doesn't get in the elevator and screw
your trip by getting into a floor below you. You
get the credit for trying and no one screws you up.
It's a win win. That's the elevator, flavor of life,
that's the elevator.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
That's your philosophy. That's my philosophy. That's your flavorosity. That is.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
And then Mike Morris, are you there, Mike?

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yes, good morning morning are you? And you're buying this breakfast?
Is that what I are you? Are you here in
the studio? Yes?

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Uh huh huh you're not for you Okay, you haven't.
It's if I was going to ask for roguelock, but
no roguelock for me this morning.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Rogue lock? Is that?

Speaker 4 (06:58):
How are you pronounce that?

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Am I taking away your jew card?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
It's rugg a la ruga.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
That's what I get for being a boy.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
And we have a great and we do have a
great goyamn story that I'm going to share later on.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Oh it's a good one.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
All right, guys, let's do it enough of Friday.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
We have a reasonably important show today and foody Friday
and asked handle anything the last hour of the show.
It's time for handle on the news, Amy Neil and
me least sorry, Well, as I've been saying, We've been
talking about all week. Ceasefire has broken out, the war

(07:40):
in Gaza has stopped, the deal has been cut. President
Trump actually put it together. He was the only guy
that was possible that could have put it together. I'll
talk more about that. He deserves the credit on this one.
And he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize. The
White House just issued a statement saying the announcement that
he did not winning his fake news because.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
He's going to create another the most Nobela's Prize, Yes,
the big liest Nobella's Prize ever, and he'll be the
only one that gets it, and then they'll shut it down.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
This I think this will be his legacy.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
I think he is going to get and deserves a
lot of credit for.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
I'm telling you, once the emotion dies down, in history,
people like him always end up floating, floating to the top.
He never they never demonized the same way throughout history.
And he did it in a Trump style.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
He did it trump trumply by effectively saying to Hamas
that never negotiates, saying, you guys are coming to the table.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
You're gonna release the hostages.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Or we're gonna let Israel go balls to the wall
until Israel go at it, and with Netanyahu as Prime minister,
the ten buildings that were left in Gaza would have
been decimated.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah, not too many walls to ball.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
No, so yeah, you're right, balls to the non walls.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Okay, let's take a break and then we will dive
into the news and we're talking about who actually won
the Nobel Prize.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Hey, there's a lobster house open. There's a lobster house open.
Lobster sounds good.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, that's not happening, like a lobster role. Yeah, that's
not happening. No, No, Chateau Brion.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh, six fifteen in the morning. All right, Amy, what's
going on in the world.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Here's the latest.

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Mayor bass is looking for a one time exemption from
the city council in La She wants to do that
one time exemption for the so called mansion tax to
help property owners rebuild or sell following the Palisade fire.
The Philippines has been rocked by a couple of strong earthquakes,
and the Dodgers.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Have done it.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
They beat the Phillies in Game four to advance to
the National League Championship Series. Those stories and more it
up at the bottom of the hour, We'll check and
see what's sewing you down on the fifty seven next.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
All right, we don't have the greatest water here in
southern California. I mean we have safe water. I mean
it's plaudible water. Neil, I'm doing a commercial.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
What you're doing? A great job, buddy, I know.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Wait, is it it well that Donald didn't win this one?
The Nobel Peace Prize has been announced and news it
went to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Karina Machado for her
work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela fake
country and her push to move the country from dictatorship
to democracy.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
You would think she'd be in jail by now and
arrested by Maduro. No, she's too popular. She's in the
National Assembly, and there's just no way. She is untouchable,
and she won the Nobel Prize and probably deserves it.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
No, you think the you know, like you were talking about,
did they Hey, they didn't give it to Trump, but
the Peace Deal is it's still in the works. It's
not done yet, and they've probably known that they were
going to give it to Machado for a while.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Now you know, we don't know. We don't know how
many people are on the committee that make the choice.
We don't know when they make the choice. That is
top secret. So if this thing pans out, which it
looks like it does, I think he is up for it.
I'd be surprised if he didn't get it next year.

(11:26):
I mean, Barack Obama got it for being elected. That's
what he did. So even the Nobel Committee came back
and kind of apologized, saying, Okay, maybe we shouldn't have
done that.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
That would have been a hard one to accept. What
the Nobel Prize. Wait, no, under that circumstance, Hey you're
block you got in.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, that was basically it. My favorite story is.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Bob Dyllon, who received the first songwriter who ever ever
received a Nobel Prize for literature.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
He wouldn't show up at the ceremony. Just no, I'm
not interested. Just didn't show up. He doesn't care.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Interesting cat. Yeah all right, So in the eyes of
our producer, and the Dodgers didn't win, the Phillies lost.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Oh and quit being a hater. My goodness, you know
you got to get over this Padres loss.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Oh, I'm over it. It happens every year.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
It doesn't sound like you're Dodger, but if they.

Speaker 7 (12:22):
Did, no, if you it was the Dodgers did not
win that game.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
It was handed to them.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
Okay, So therefore it's uh, and for anybody to say otherwise,
let me ask you.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
So they're saying there's a category for I know, Amy,
we talked about that, but let me ask is there
a category for handed wins? I don't think there is.
I think it's considered a win, isn't it.

Speaker 7 (12:51):
Okay, it's a weird Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, but we're
gybody's going to talk to dissect it and talk about it.
So if you're going to do that, enough sports and
you have to talk about both sides, right.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Listen to petros in money. Okay, let's move on. I
had to put that story in.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Trust me. I didn't want to.

Speaker 6 (13:08):
Oh, poor Annie, bad Bunny bumped by tp us A.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
What the heck?

Speaker 6 (13:16):
So Turning Point USA apparently is going to do some
counter programming. Uh, They're going to host their own super
Bowl halftime show on February eighth to counter Bad Bunny,
who was chosen to host the Super Bowl halftime show
by the NFL and the turning point says it's going
to be the all American halftime show, celebrating faith, family,

(13:37):
and freedom. And the NFL has taken a lot of
heat from a lot of conservatives for choosing Bad Bunny.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
I don't get the conservative newsletter monthly. What what's the
concern about bad Bunny?

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Oh he is. He is out there, So no, he's not.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
For them. He's out there.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
What's what's the problem with that, buddy?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Is it just that it says bad in his name
and they're like, well, that's it.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yep, they don't want to say anything bad.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
He's Puerto Rican, right, that's correct. So he's American. Yeah, okay, yeah,
but he's so it really is an American.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
He's brown skin. That is not American.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Are you kidding? We just did a story that he's
not brown skin. People are not American.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Just talk to someone in Ice.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Also, the reason they are doing this they could not
find right wing.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Conservative puppies and so they had to you wanted to
do the halftime show. Now, of course there is that
was the reference. That's the joke. Look at these precious
little hooded puppies coming out and playing those tiny little
crosses are on.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
We're really doing a lot of these stories rather quickly. Okay,
one more, Okay, this is I guess a point for
the Trump side. New York Attorney General Letitia James, she's
a Democrat, clashes with President Trump too, hits against her.
Indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury in Virginia. She

(15:09):
could face up to thirty years in prison up to
one million fine if she's convicted of bank fraud that is,
lying on an application saying I do live there, when
in fact she had no intention of living there.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
Thirty years in prison, I don't think. So what kind
of tax benefit would you get from that? What's the time?
It's a lower interest rate? Okay, okay, So what the
interest rate did she get?

Speaker 4 (15:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
And house money with that?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Probably half a point is my guess.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Okay, would that bringing on a million dollars? No?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
No, But it's such a serious crime that it's equivalent
to first or second degree murder.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
And how many times.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Have you done it? Bank fraud? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (15:54):
This morning when I filled out an application.

Speaker 6 (15:59):
Is this another one of these things, Bill, where you
think it doesn't matter if if she actually gets convicted?

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Oh yeah, she's not going to prison. Yeah, this is
nothing's gonna happen. It's just it'll be on the record.
And it's just Trump just going after his perceived enemies.
It's just that simple. It is straight vengeance.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
I don't know what is perceived. I mean, she ran
saying I'm going to bring you down Trump.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah, No, perceived in maybe this one she did run
against him, or she did bring him down.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Now, whether a lot of it is legitimate, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
You know, for example, the document's case that was dropped
course as soon as he became president.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Was there reality to it?

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I saw those documents in top secret documents in the house.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, So did he do it?

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
I think so what he got? Would he have gotten
twenty thirty years in prison?

Speaker 4 (16:53):
No?

Speaker 3 (16:54):
And by the way, next up is Adam Schiff, And
after that it's going to be Pritzker you watch, and
it's gonna be Gavin Newsom. You watch. Can't we just
fest forward to the Gavin Newsom part when he gets arrested?

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (17:08):
No, I wait for Nowtam shifts he's just at pumping
big bucks into Prop fifty.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
Tom Steyer says he's going to spend twelve million dollars
to back the democrats effort to we redrawn districts to
boost the Democrats' ranks in the legislative body, basically give
five more seats to the Democrats. In California, Governor k
News some other Democrats put Prop fifty up on the
ballot to redraw congressional districts in response to Texas redrawing

(17:41):
its congressional maps in favor of the Republican.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Have you seen those commercials that the Prop fifty folks
are putting up on TV? And it has to do
with another billionaire monger who is putting in on the
opposite side, and he's against the LGBTQ rights, he's against
women's rights, so therefore he's a bad guy. Why don't
they just say, hey, Texas is screwing us, We've got

(18:06):
to fight back and put our Democratic congressman in.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
There's the message, nothing else, nothing move now. But they
don't do that. So, by the way, this is going
to be a big lot of money is going to
be spent on this prop, a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
But Brazil, Brazil sal pool so as we step away
sort of because the tariffs US is a big provider
of an exporter of the soybean. You you know, China
is looking from two other places. So China has turned

(18:44):
to Brazil. And now Brazil is expected to reach one
hundred and two point two million tons through the end
of October, surpassing annual volumes for the whole of twenty
twenty four and twenty twenty three. And that would put
them at second next to us.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, and they're going to be first, you will, Yes,
they will surpass us. So the question is soy see
see see soy.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Soy milk is just Mexico milk, saying a milk but up, up,
but up up.

Speaker 6 (19:18):
National Guards now in limbo in Chicago to A judge
has blocked National Guard troops from being deployed to the
Chicago area for at least two weeks. The judge said
that they found no substantial evidence that a danger of
rebellion is brewing in Illinois. The judge said the administration

(19:38):
Trump administration violated the Tenth Amendment, which grants certain powers
to states, and the fourteenth Amendment, which assures due process
and equal protection.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
The only way that the National Guard and the Armed
services can go into a city or state is for
the president to declare a rebellion and that is a
sh la. Also, we're in rebellion, and we know New
York is in rebellion. Now that's not to say that
crime may be up. That's not to say that it's

(20:10):
a hell hole. I mean, Amy talked about Portland, how
great it used to be relative to today. But the
word rebellion, the judge said, that's a stretch.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
So rebellion in Illinois just sounds weird. It.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Oh, here is a fantastic story.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
This is uh wow, yeah, I mean yeah, it's becoming
one big Saturday night lifescale skit. Health Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Junior, we all know him his crusade against autism
coming starting with tail and all and during pregnancy. He says,

(20:51):
now boys who were circumcised were twice as likely to
be diagnosed with auto.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Wow, I'll tell you where this came from. The LA
But no, the LA Zoo promoted this because they have.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
A new and eater exiit.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Oh geez, but what is it?

Speaker 1 (21:11):
You know?

Speaker 3 (21:11):
I was concerned, so I called my mom and I said, Mom,
did you use taylan all when you were pregnant with me,
and she said, honey, only when I was hungover. So
that's good, right.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
That is funny, And he said this is He even
acknowledged that a sid of metaphin does cause autism, but
it's only a correlations with its use.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
But what how could you say autism and circumcision because
the half the.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Boys in the United States used to be a lot more.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Half the boys in the United States are circumcised now,
down from about eighty percent, and there are autistic boys. Therefore,
autism is caused or there's a connection with circumcision. It's
like pregnant women and if ninety percent of pregnant women
had pizza during the pregnancy, pizza is connected to autism.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
No, I get it, But that's the But that is
basic horrible logic, Like that's the first thing you learned
in logic. Of course it is, So no brisks for you, Okay.
So is there an ethnicity or an ethnic group rather
that you know, because of populous is more white? So

(22:29):
do white? Is being white more is a cause of autism?

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:34):
Maybe maybe, especially if they're Catholic or Jewish. I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
I remember my circumcision. I was granted I was eight
days old. Do you know that they get kids drunk,
little babies? They get him drunk during the circumcision ceremony.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Jewish, don't they just put a little they.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Put them the no no, no.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Amount of chevitz on the guns.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
What they what they do is they take a litle
bit of a rag or something and dip it in wine,
and the kid suckles on the wine and so gets plastered.
Which is why you rarely see Jewish Jewish alcoholics. I've
got a whole theory about that, because when you think
about it in the deep recesses of your mind, you

(23:19):
think schwant's being cut off alcohol. Schwantz get gets cut alcohol,
and you don't even know where that that's happening.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
I don't drink more female alcoholics.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Uh yeah, maybe there's alcohol. Are there a lot of
alcoholic Jewels?

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, there's no there whether that, there haven't been any studies.
I asked RMA, I don't drink.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
I don't drink.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
And why because I was circumcised.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Did the oil go down there when you're eight days
old and goes ah? Someone not? He did it? Someone
beat me too?

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (23:53):
Okay, enough of brisk talk us troops headed to the
Middle East to help out is going to send about
two hundred troops to Israel to help support and monitor
the ceasefire in Gaza. They apparently have expertise in transportation, planning, security, logistics,
and engineering. These troops will not be sent into Gaza.

(24:16):
There will be there to assist.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
And they're not alone too, because you've got a lot
of Arab countries are sending their troops to So it
is an international force that has actually forced Hamas to
cave on this. Hamas no longer has any friends. Used
to have Hesbila and Lebanon. Iran was a big player,

(24:39):
not so much anymore. So Hamas realized, where are they going.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
To Goria terrorists?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, that's exactly it.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Who would have thought, yeah, all right, so the irs
as the tables turned. They are normally the ones who
produce chaos and confusion in your life, but now they've
got chaos on confusion because because of furloughs, nearly half
of its staff I'm in amid this government shutdown is

(25:06):
dealing with these furloughs. So you know, that's a massive
amount of people just up in midweek and now this
ongoing government shutdown is sparking this chaos and confusion at
the I file.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
My taxes October fifteenth.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I always wait to the very last minute to file
taxes with all the extensions I do. And I just
called my accountant yesterday when this was announced that I said,
we're going to amend my tax return. I made eighteen
dollars last year and that's what I'm going.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
To take advantage. Well, yes, they will figure it out.
On the flip side, I assure you they find everything. Yeah,
they tend to.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
Yes, Speaking of finding everything, President Trump is said to
undergo a medical checkup at Walter Reed Medical Center today.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
It's the second one this year. The last one was
in April.

Speaker 6 (25:56):
His visit comes after Trump was diagnosed in July with
chronic venous insufficiency. Apparently that's displayed by visible swelling in
his lower legs and ankles.

Speaker 5 (26:08):
A none, A.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Lot of people have it. It's a lot of Yeah,
it's not it's not a big deal.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
The swelling in the ankles. Yeah, I didn't Hillary Clinton
have that.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
She has cankles. Yes she does, and to this day,
you bet you okay, And.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
And be prepared, be prepared for Trump's doctor to say what.
He has said that this president is the most fit
president in the history of the United States.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
By the way, that's true. That statement did come out,
you know, beat beat the hell out of George W.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Bush, who ran marathons.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, and would hold would hold the Secret Service on
his back. What right, Yeah, the twenty year old Secret
Service agents couldn't.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Keep up with him.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Now, the Trump administration has come out and said that
the swelling is due to the immense amount of greatness
in his body.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
And it's his head that the swelling took place.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
He's entertaining. We'll give him that just the best. So
people are going to be spending big time for this
holiday season, but not for the reasons you think. It's
not like they're going I'm super confident in the way
things are going. They're saying, I'm going to pay now
because next year is probably going to be worse, so
let's go big this year. That's a weird reason to spend.

(27:23):
I know.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's not because things will cost a lot more. If
you have inflation of nine or ten percent, which people
are frightened of because that happened during the Biden years.
People are going to go I might as well buy
it now. Brazil at one time when I was there,
The last time I visited was in the middle of hyperinflation.
And I mean things would change from day to day.

(27:45):
There'd be a price in the morning and then they
would have to change the price by the afternoon. Year
so people would buy money was not they weren't pretty
money in the bank.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Savings were wiped out, so people would buy hard goods.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
And so they'd buy appliances, they buy cars, anything that
was a durable good. And that is happening to some extent,
not to that extent, but still to some extent.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
No, but if it's going up the way they're saying
it is, it's looking at four point six percent up
for holiday spending during a holiday period, almost five percent.
That's a pretty deep it is.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
And that and the reason is not because people have
disposable income, not because they're looking at the future and
everything is you know a hunky donkey.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Uh, it's a hunky donkey. Yeah, hunky donkey.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
That's a phrase that's used in the world of economy
or honkey Doorkno, you know, and that's h And it's
because of the fear of inflation. Okay, we're done guys
kfi A M six forty you've been.
