Bill Handle, and.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Good morning everybody. Bill Handle here. It is a momentous Monday,
October thirteen, all living hostages in Gaza, Israeli hostages have
been returned and now they're awaiting. Unfortunately, the remains of
(00:59):
I think twenty eight who died or were killed, probably
were killed. And of course Hamas decides not only is
it hold living hostages, it also holds dead hostages, knowing
that the family members need closure and it doesn't matter anyway.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Celebrations breaking out both in Gaza and Israel, and I think,
I guess in a positive sense that no one Hamas
is not screaming.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
We've won the war. We've won the war, which they
always do. And Israel, for the most part, there is
some talk about winning the war in the Tanya. Hu
said a couple of things, but for the most part,
the celebration is the return of the hostages on the
Israeli side and the return of the Palestinian prisoners. That
(01:51):
is reel as holding over to Gaza. Okay, quick, healo
to one and all, because we were talking a little
bit about that. And of course our president in a
speech to the Knesset out did himself with about forty
minutes of an I great, Aren't I terrific? Couldn't have
a better president. Joe Biden was the worst president in
(02:12):
the world. Obama was almost as bad. I mean, just

All these playoffs are making me realize how many different
Dodgers outfits I have.

So I'm like, oh god, and you have joyed as
many you know, but I don't get has two games.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I'm done. Yeah. If Padres actually played a decent don't
think I'm wearing We'll be talking a lot about it
actually real quickly before we go on and start the news,
which needs to say, we have tons of it. Quick
word about Saturday night where we had that Zelman's Taste
(05:46):
test at the Anaheim White House that we were giving
Zelman's a test does it really work? And the meal
that was curated by Chef Bruno and Silvano was so
garlic laden. It was garlic everything garlic.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
The assignment and it was It's actually one of the
best meals of It was so wonderfully thought out and
executed down to the caramelized onions in the dessert, so
there was onions and garlic in everything, and it was
and the garlic bread is the best I've ever had yet.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It almost burned your mouth that had did. There was
a lot of it in the shrimp scampy, which is
one of their mun tradishes. Beyond belief. Anyway, thank you
to Anaheim White House. And we ran across a lot
of people that were there just to say hello, knew
that we were there, that were not part of our group.
They didn't win, so they just showed up. They just
(06:47):
showed up at eight. I love it, which, yeah, that
was so nice. The Bruno loved that one too, So anyway,
it's thank you Zelman's. Thank you for Anaheim White House,
both phenomenal product and restaurant. And we're gonna do that
again at some point, only because the food is so
spectacular and I don't have to pay for it, and
(07:08):
that's the important thing. You're weird. I am not. I
am cheap. We had these.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Giveaways for them, these little garlic presses. Yeah, I like,
where'd I put mine?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Where did I put it?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
It's a give Why did you have to have one?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because it's free? Teotypes? But yeah, why of course it is.
And Neil had these these and of course Zelman's gave
aways a lot, a fair amount of product and it
was all good. Okay, enough of that. There's Neil again
making fun of me, and yeah, but it's just weird.
And I named them. So I'm like, you could just ask.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Me for one. I'll get you. I'll make a custom
one just for you.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, So I'll have two of them. I'll take it. Okay,
it is time for handle on the news on this
Monday morning, October thirteen. Lead Storry, All right, well, what
this moment the president is our president is about to
(08:10):
leave Tel Aviv and fly to Cairo, or the peace summit,
of which twenty world leaders are going to come celebrating
the ceasefire and the breakout of peace between Israel and Camas,
of which the president, President Trump is rightly being given
(08:31):
a tremendous amount of credit. There's no question that without
President Trump this would not have happened. And what he's
so gracious about him. Yeah, he certainly is spent forty
minutes in front of the Canasset talking about how great
he is, how horrible Obama and Joe Biden were, the
(08:53):
worst president in the history of the United States. How
I'm I have to do with any of it. I
have no idea, And how he has made all the decisions,
and he decides which weapons go where, and he gave
him Israel, which Israel knew what to do with him,
and just you know, at some point, at what point
do you snap victory out of the jaws, the feet
(09:16):
out of the jaws of victory. Just he just goes
on and on, and I mean, come on, guy, you
got the win.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You got the win and deserves at least, so there's
probably nothing more that you could do as a president
of the United States or a head of state that
makes that.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You could go, wow, this was life changing for people.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
And then he kind of poops on it, like why
just take let's.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Take the w it is so it's huge, It really
is huge. Hostages came home. Yeah, I mean it's incredible
and it is. I mean it is an amazing feat
of which. Does he deserve the Nobel Peace Price for
this one? Yeah? I think he does actually for putting together.
So now you've got Nittanyahu a few minutes up on
(10:04):
in front of the Knesset talking about how great the
president is. You have to because Trump loves to hear
that and has to hear it, and all the all
President Trump to do is stand up and just say
thank you very much and then sit down. That would
have been the greatest speech. Give the glory to the
families that are reuniting. Yeah, oh he did. He talked
(10:25):
about that, and he talked about Jared Kushner and Ivonka,
his daughter converting to Judaism, and do all kinds of
stories about Steve Witkoff, personal stories and just humorous anecdotes
and basically.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Talking about all the Jews he knows. Yeah, some of
my best friends are Jews. Yeah, oh Crazyaron Trump Aviv?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah nice? In any case, all right, quick timeline hostages
have been released. President as of right this moment is
boarding Air Force one after speaking to the Canes, and
he is on his way to Cairo. And it's an
hour flight by the way, Cairo to Tel Aviv or
Tel Aviv to Cairo. It's almost exactly an hour. It's
(11:09):
La San Francisco. And then he arrives. Netting Yahu will
not be there, and we're hearing all kinds of reasons
Jewish holiday. Eh. I don't know if I buy that
he Mahmud Abbass will be there. And Netiahu does not
want to be seen in the same room on the
same by a dayas as Makhunda Bass because he has
(11:31):
said Nata Yahu is official position in Israel. The Palestinian
authority is going to disappear. It will not be part
of governing the new Palestine. And so there's a lot
to be said on that, and of course I'll talk
more about that coming up seven o'clock.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Two weeks in and tempers are flaring. What started as
a standoff over spending priorities around enhanced in affordable care
subsidies has turned into full blown political stress test. Over
the weekend, both sides were on the TV shows and
both pointing fingers at the other. Virtually no appetite for
(12:13):
anyone on either side to talk to the other side.
They're pretty much dug in. The House, passed continuing resolution
would extend curtain current Biden era spending levels, but House
Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said that the legislation is unacceptable
to Democrats because it also includes massive cuts codified by
(12:34):
President Trump's domestic policy package. And then on the other side,
Speaker Johnson says that the Democrats have chosen a partisan
fight to prove their Marxist rising base in the Democratic
Party that they're willing to fight Trump and the Republicans.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Marxist, Yeah, it's yeah, why not? Now it's you communists
and patriots, you fighting and looking at everybody and describing themselves.
So I will talk more of this, but the people
are going to really really suffer. This is the week
that paychecks don't come to a lot of federal employees,
and it's really going to hurt most. See how this
pans out. I have some ideas and we'll talk about
(13:14):
that at seven point thirty and see if you agree
or disagree or tell me I'm out of my mind. Sure,
why not? All right?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
As we moved to real communists China, Donald Trump threatening
again to impose additional one hundred percent tariffs on China
made everything go crazy with the stock market.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But China says.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It's a typical example of US doing a double standard,
which is funny for a communist country filled with rich
And then.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, yeah, well they're not particularly communists. They only call
themselves communists. Anytime a country calls itself the people's republic,
you've got some real issues as to how free the
people's Republic is. Yeah, but you're right on this one.
They did say they have countermeasures coming.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oh yea.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You know they're now in a pissing match. Ping and
President Trump are really at it. And here's what really
got Here's what got Trump so upset is that China
is limiting its rare earths that now they're playing with
that China controls the rare earth's market, rare earth minerals.
(14:27):
They basically have it about eighty percent of the world market.
And without rare earth, you don't make cell phones, evs,
you don't make electronics. You just need those. I thought
you might have nothing. We were working with. We are,
but it's years in the making. Minds have to be dug.
(14:50):
China has a full blown mature industry with this and
controls the world market. So Trump now attached another one
hundred percent. That's on top of the thirty percent. That's
all aready in place, one hundred and thirty percent. I
told you that my business with savil or cookwear business
which we import from China, a loo stain steel cookware.
(15:12):
What was it. A couple of weeks ago, we got
a shipment of We had seventy thousand dollars, reasonably small shipment.
We needed some back order stuff, so it costs seventy
thousand dollars. The tariff was eighty seven thousand dollars. That
we had to write the federal government on a seventy
thousand dollars order. It was eighty seven thousand dollars in tariffs.
(15:35):
How sustainable do you think that is?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Gosh, it's almost not worth using the Chinese slave labor.
Huh pretty close. Yeah, man, you just can't get good
slave labor anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I guess we're back to the US of a Yeah,
that's not going to help very much because still it
gets crazy cookie. Well the aluminum, we also get aluminum
from overseas too, don't forget the try to produces aluminum.
So it's the whole thing is completely nuts. And the
(16:09):
other thing I think I'm talking about this a little
bit later on one thing about this president, and it's
both good and bad. I'll tell you one thing. For
a US president to bounce back and forth and to
wake up in the morning and establish one policy and
in the afternoon change it. With the kind of influence
the United States has is just astronomical, and he's just
taking everybody for a loop. Okay, moving on, Buttner Butner.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Mayor Bass is getting some competition, and don't look at
me that way.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I got it.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Former La School Superintendent Austin Butner is planning to announce
today that he is going to run against Mayor Bass
for the twenty twenty six mayor's election. He lives in
Pacific Palisades. His home was damaged during the fires. His
mother in law's house was destroyed, and he has criticized
(17:00):
on several fronts, but very critical of the way that
she handled the wildfires, saying the officials at all levels
showed a failure of leadership on the fire.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I don't know how much name recognition he has, because
did you know his name LA Unified School superintendent? Who
it was? I don't think many people did. I did.
But this is what we do for a living. Yeah, well,
thank you. It makes me feel good.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Hey, when only like less than twenty percent of the
population of LA votes for the mayor, are they in
the election?
Speaker 6 (17:34):
I mean nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, good point, And Neil says, the course he knows.
I have my doubts.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So the ball keeps bouncing from court to court, and
the Federal Court of Appeals just Saturday temporary temporarily lifted
a judge's order blocking the White House efforts to federalize
National Guard troops for the use in Chicago, but left
her block on their deployment the city, so the troops
(18:01):
can remain at their base, the US Army Reserve Center
there in Elwood, Illinois, just about an hour outside of Chicago.
But they don't need to return home. But they're still
not moving.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, just a now their chapter and how far does
presidential power go? Where the president is testing pushing the
envelope across the board, so we'll see what the courts
have to say on this one. These are all, as
you pointed out, temporary measures until the merits the underlying
case is actually heard as to does the president have
the power? Yes or no?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Under these circumstances, inventory not required, So for the families
who lose everything in future wildfires, you'll be able to
collect most of your insurance pay out without itemizing everything.
Governor Newsom signed new law that on Friday, and starting
(18:59):
next year, insurers will be required to pay at least
sixty percent of a homeowner's personal property coverage up to
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars without requiring that detailed
inventory list. It's good, but not as good as the
original of the original version of the bill, which would
have required insurers to pay one hundred percent of the
(19:19):
contents without an itemized list.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's a two aage sword. First of all, the insurers
have a legitimate interest saying hey, you know what, We're
not going to just write you a check saying that
based on what you tell us. You know, here's your
one hundred thousand dollars gold coin collection. Oh no, I
had it, now it's gone melted. Well, I guess you
can melt into a gold bar, but you know the
coin that's worth twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
On the other side, it's who the hell keeps inventory
of everything you have in the house. I mean what
you should do is with homeowner's insurance is video everything
you have, just do a walk through and that helps enormously.
Who the hell does that? So this helps homeowners a
lot and we'll just see how much our insurance rates
(20:08):
go up on that one. And it is fair to
have people be paid for what they lose without having
to do an entire inventory list, because no one does that.
I do, yeah, do you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Actually I go through every now and again, both in
my shop in the house and do a video. And
it's actually it's actually came in handy when we had a.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Film crew used the house. I was able to prove
that things were broken.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay, I'm weird, No, all right, since hundreds You remember
back at the earlier part of the year with the
whole doze stuff where people were being fired and then
they were like, oh, whoops, you weren't supposed to be fired.
We're kind of going through that again. These are the
CDC staffers recently fired by the Trump administration. There's about
(20:58):
thirteen hundred workers at the CDC so and they come
from all different walks and areas. But out of that
thirteen hundred, seven hundred were reinstated on Saturday, so you've
got about six hundred remaining laid off. And apparently they
received incorrect notifications.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So they fire everybody. This is Friday. Friday, they all
receive notices and this say you're done. And then the
next day, seven hundred ago, oh we made a mistake,
you're not fired. And this seems to be the way
that the government is being run right now. You'd think
someone would think this through, but it's, uh, let's do
(21:39):
this with a shotgun and then we'll pick up the pieces.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Where businesses do it.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Businesses I think are more selective. They don't reinstate people.
The next day you get furloughed, and it's not like, oh,
we made a mistake, come on back the next day
by the hundreds or the thousands. Not they don't do.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Till next day.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
But I mean it's happened around here where they do
layoffs and then they bring people.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Back and how how in terms of numbers of layoffs.
How many, it's a tiny, tiny number.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Government should be the best run business in the United States.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well it can't be. It can't be because the government
doesn't have any accountability. You know. It's when you think that,
For example, iHeart it has a it's a public corporation.
It has accountability to his shareholders. People have accountability to
their bosses, the government. It's nobody's money, that's all. It's
(22:36):
not your money, So what do you care it's my money?
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Yeah, this guy picked the wrong place to be in public.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
So apparently somebody went into Saint Peter's Peter's Basilica, went
up to the altar and started curinating.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
He was quickly escorted out of the church.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Pope Leo was informed and was, as he put it,
shocked to learn of the news.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Okay, that leads right into the joke that I must
repeat if you haven't heard it yet, and that is
Will's already shaking his head, and that is this is
not the first time that an attack has been made
at an altar statue in Saint Peter's. The Pieta, which
(23:25):
is in Saint Peter's in the Basilica. There was that
crazy ass Hungarian out of his mind mentally Ipensus, who
took a hammer and started hammering on the piata and
as a matter of fact, I think took out three
or four of the toes, either Jesus or Mary on
the piata. Now it's completely you can't get in his
(23:46):
bulletproof plexiglass in front of it. And as they were
dragging him out, and I quote now, he was screaming Pieta.
I thought it said pinata. Okay, no, I love that.
I'm not putting another notch. Write that down. I'm telling
you that's on my belt. How many times I've heard that? Okay,
(24:06):
thank you very much. I'm sorry. Can whenever time there's
an attack in the Basilica, I have to I have
to say it wrong, Peter, Okay, all right, oh very good.
I guess there's nobody watching Yosemite. So Jozamite is going
to hell in a handbasket. The government shut down.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You've got increase reports of illegal base jumping from El Capitan.
Also squatters filling up campgrounds. There's climbers using the cables
that you see on the side of half dome, but
they're doing it without permits because there's nobody around it's unclear.
We don't know exactly how many federal employees are working,
(24:48):
how many are not. But one employee who spoke with
sf Gate just you know, anonymously, said that they were
they were only aware of a single volunteer patrolling the
entire park.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, I don't doubt. I'm surpriser was even one, because
they shut down the national parks. Hey, quick question, is
there such thing as legal base jumping for mel Capitan?
Do they allow that?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, I don't think so either.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
So they're taking advantage.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, but if you go and maybe I'm not saying
with real bullets, but maybe paint guns and then you
can go and pluck them off as they fly down.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Maybe that's not even a good idea to suggest.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, I'm just saying, if they can squadding and base jumping,
you're better off just letting them fall and just you know,
pick up the pieces. Okay, I wouldn't do that, Okay,
for the record.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Yeah, massive merger hanging in the balance. Paramount has officially
opened the bidding for rival Warner Brothers Discovery. The board
of Warner Brothers Discovery rejected the initial bit of about
twenty dollars chair share, but talks are continuing. Warner This
Discovery owns HBO, CNN, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, and the
(26:05):
Warner Brothers movie and TV studios in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, we'll just see how far what there, what there
will how far they're willing to go in terms of, uh,
what they're going to pay per share. Usually, when you're
buying or a company is buying another company, uh, the
price of the stock starts going way, way up and
they end up paying a premium over what the market
value is. And sometimes it can be pretty astronomical, to
(26:31):
the point where the shareholders just say we're done, we're selling,
thank you very much, and we'll see what happened. They
may happen here.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
And Larry Ellison, Uh, you know he's the world's richest man,
right and he wants to.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The top five. Yeah, so he's up.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
There when daddy's money is there.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, who knows it'll go?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, I got my son at cherurou.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
You're a good dad, Okay about the whole thing for him? Excellent?
All right, So.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
It looks like it's one small step for China possibly
if they get their way. They're trying to get back
to the They're trying to get to the moon. We're
trying to get back to the moon. And there is
more and more chorus of voices saying that the United
States needs to return astronauts to the Moon before the end.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Of this decad This, that, and the other that.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
They people are just saying, hey, we need to get
back up. Their NASA plans to use a SpaceX starship,
which is the largest rocket system ever constructed, as part
of this lunar journey. But Bill Nye, we all know,
the science guy said that the that China's National Space
Administration will almost certainly walk on the Moon in the
next five years.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, here's the difference between the United States and China. Here.
We have a fair number of legislators who goo, we
don't want to spend this kind of money, or we
have an administration that's going to cut NASA budgets in
China whatever Jijingping wants, and the Politburo says absolutely, once
policy is established, they go for it. Nothing gets in
(28:13):
the way. And that's so it's.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Only money because you know, we did this fifty six
years ago.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Why is it Why is it so difficult to do now?
Because it is not just reaching the moon just for
the hell of reaching the moon. I believe it is
reaching the Moon for the purposes of then being able
to go to Mars. So it's and also reaching the
Moon to set up some kind of habitat there, which
(28:40):
is not it's just not flying in and flying back.
Sort of been there, done.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
That was because we're not going back to the moon
because Stanley Kubrick is dead.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Okay, well said to the moon, Alice, to the moon,
all right, we are done. You've been listening to The
Bill Handle Show. Catch My Show Monday through Friday, six
am to nine am, and anytime on demand on the
iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty good bals.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We're talking about twenty five year old balsamic vinegar. I mean,
you know this stuff is.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, you like them like you like your new wife,
the peach flavored glad and viscus.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle, and.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Good morning everybody. Bill Handle here. It is a momentous Monday,
October thirteen, all living hostages in Gaza, Israeli hostages have
been returned and now they're awaiting. Unfortunately, the remains of
(00:59):
I think twenty eight who died or were killed, probably
were killed. And of course Hamas decides not only is
it hold living hostages, it also holds dead hostages, knowing
that the family members need closure and it doesn't matter anyway.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Celebrations breaking out both in Gaza and Israel, and I think,
I guess in a positive sense that no one Hamas
is not screaming.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
We've won the war. We've won the war, which they
always do. And Israel, for the most part, there is
some talk about winning the war in the Tanya. Hu
said a couple of things, but for the most part,
the celebration is the return of the hostages on the
Israeli side and the return of the Palestinian prisoners. That
(01:51):
is reel as holding over to Gaza. Okay, quick, healo
to one and all, because we were talking a little
bit about that. And of course our president in a
speech to the Knesset out did himself with about forty
minutes of an I great, Aren't I terrific? Couldn't have
a better president. Joe Biden was the worst president in
(02:12):
the world. Obama was almost as bad. I mean, just
you know, you got a victory lap going here, you know,
just take it, just take it. Thank you. You know
we're done. Uh you're giving all the credit for it,
as you should. But come on, give me a break,

None huh yep, yeah that was That was an Italian
joke for sure. You can look it up. You're looking
at me seeing how it connects. I know. I not

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Jersey it's just a sweatshirt today.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I'm always a sweatshirt. Yes.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
All these playoffs are making me realize how many different
Dodgers outfits I have.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Uh, I didn't pay attention if the Dodgers already started.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
The championship game, one of the championship series is this
afternoon Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
All right, so you're not going there and you don't

the championship games.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Correct, Yes, we have tickets to Thursday's game.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So you're definitely gonna see a game, come hell or
high water.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
Oh yeah, and we got to see we got to
see the clincher on on front.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Thursday, the giveaway, the takeaway, the win. Okay, fair enough,
and good morning, good morning. I noticed you are not
wearing any Dodger garb. By the way, Amy, nice flax.
Oh my god. There's just so many playoff games. I
just have to so many Dodger things I have to

find to wear.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
So I'm like, oh god, and you have joyed as
many you know, but I don't get has two games.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I'm done. Yeah. If Padres actually played a decent don't
think I'm wearing We'll be talking a lot about it
actually real quickly before we go on and start the news,
which needs to say, we have tons of it. Quick
word about Saturday night where we had that Zelman's Taste
(05:46):
test at the Anaheim White House that we were giving
Zelman's a test does it really work? And the meal
that was curated by Chef Bruno and Silvano was so
garlic laden. It was garlic everything garlic.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
The assignment and it was It's actually one of the
best meals of It was so wonderfully thought out and
executed down to the caramelized onions in the dessert, so
there was onions and garlic in everything, and it was
and the garlic bread is the best I've ever had yet.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It almost burned your mouth that had did. There was
a lot of it in the shrimp scampy, which is
one of their mun tradishes. Beyond belief. Anyway, thank you
to Anaheim White House. And we ran across a lot
of people that were there just to say hello, knew
that we were there, that were not part of our group.
They didn't win, so they just showed up. They just
(06:47):
showed up at eight. I love it, which, yeah, that
was so nice. The Bruno loved that one too, So anyway,
it's thank you Zelman's. Thank you for Anaheim White House,
both phenomenal product and restaurant. And we're gonna do that
again at some point, only because the food is so
spectacular and I don't have to pay for it, and
(07:08):
that's the important thing. You're weird. I am not. I
am cheap. We had these.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Giveaways for them, these little garlic presses. Yeah, I like,
where'd I put mine?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Where did I put it?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
It's a give Why did you have to have one?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because it's free? Teotypes? But yeah, why of course it is.
And Neil had these these and of course Zelman's gave
aways a lot, a fair amount of product and it
was all good. Okay, enough of that. There's Neil again
making fun of me, and yeah, but it's just weird.
And I named them. So I'm like, you could just ask.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Me for one. I'll get you. I'll make a custom
one just for you.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, So I'll have two of them. I'll take it. Okay,
it is time for handle on the news on this
Monday morning, October thirteen. Lead Storry, All right, well, what
this moment the president is our president is about to
(08:10):
leave Tel Aviv and fly to Cairo, or the peace summit,
of which twenty world leaders are going to come celebrating
the ceasefire and the breakout of peace between Israel and Camas,
of which the president, President Trump is rightly being given
(08:31):
a tremendous amount of credit. There's no question that without
President Trump this would not have happened. And what he's
so gracious about him. Yeah, he certainly is spent forty
minutes in front of the Canasset talking about how great
he is, how horrible Obama and Joe Biden were, the
(08:53):
worst president in the history of the United States. How
I'm I have to do with any of it. I
have no idea, And how he has made all the decisions,
and he decides which weapons go where, and he gave
him Israel, which Israel knew what to do with him,
and just you know, at some point, at what point
do you snap victory out of the jaws, the feet
(09:16):
out of the jaws of victory. Just he just goes
on and on, and I mean, come on, guy, you
got the win.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
You got the win and deserves at least, so there's
probably nothing more that you could do as a president
of the United States or a head of state that
makes that.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You could go, wow, this was life changing for people.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
And then he kind of poops on it, like why
just take let's.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Take the w it is so it's huge, It really
is huge. Hostages came home. Yeah, I mean it's incredible
and it is. I mean it is an amazing feat
of which. Does he deserve the Nobel Peace Price for
this one? Yeah? I think he does actually for putting together.
So now you've got Nittanyahu a few minutes up on
(10:04):
in front of the Knesset talking about how great the
president is. You have to because Trump loves to hear
that and has to hear it, and all the all
President Trump to do is stand up and just say
thank you very much and then sit down. That would
have been the greatest speech. Give the glory to the
families that are reuniting. Yeah, oh he did. He talked
(10:25):
about that, and he talked about Jared Kushner and Ivonka,
his daughter converting to Judaism, and do all kinds of
stories about Steve Witkoff, personal stories and just humorous anecdotes
and basically.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Talking about all the Jews he knows. Yeah, some of
my best friends are Jews. Yeah, oh Crazyaron Trump Aviv?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah nice? In any case, all right, quick timeline hostages
have been released. President as of right this moment is
boarding Air Force one after speaking to the Canes, and
he is on his way to Cairo. And it's an
hour flight by the way, Cairo to Tel Aviv or
Tel Aviv to Cairo. It's almost exactly an hour. It's
(11:09):
La San Francisco. And then he arrives. Netting Yahu will
not be there, and we're hearing all kinds of reasons
Jewish holiday. Eh. I don't know if I buy that
he Mahmud Abbass will be there. And Netiahu does not
want to be seen in the same room on the
same by a dayas as Makhunda Bass because he has
(11:31):
said Nata Yahu is official position in Israel. The Palestinian
authority is going to disappear. It will not be part
of governing the new Palestine. And so there's a lot
to be said on that, and of course I'll talk
more about that coming up seven o'clock.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Two weeks in and tempers are flaring. What started as
a standoff over spending priorities around enhanced in affordable care
subsidies has turned into full blown political stress test. Over
the weekend, both sides were on the TV shows and
both pointing fingers at the other. Virtually no appetite for
(12:13):
anyone on either side to talk to the other side.
They're pretty much dug in. The House, passed continuing resolution
would extend curtain current Biden era spending levels, but House
Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said that the legislation is unacceptable
to Democrats because it also includes massive cuts codified by
(12:34):
President Trump's domestic policy package. And then on the other side,
Speaker Johnson says that the Democrats have chosen a partisan
fight to prove their Marxist rising base in the Democratic
Party that they're willing to fight Trump and the Republicans.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Marxist, Yeah, it's yeah, why not? Now it's you communists
and patriots, you fighting and looking at everybody and describing themselves.
So I will talk more of this, but the people
are going to really really suffer. This is the week
that paychecks don't come to a lot of federal employees,
and it's really going to hurt most. See how this
pans out. I have some ideas and we'll talk about
(13:14):
that at seven point thirty and see if you agree
or disagree or tell me I'm out of my mind. Sure,
why not? All right?
Speaker 3 (13:20):
As we moved to real communists China, Donald Trump threatening
again to impose additional one hundred percent tariffs on China
made everything go crazy with the stock market.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But China says.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
It's a typical example of US doing a double standard,
which is funny for a communist country filled with rich
And then.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, yeah, well they're not particularly communists. They only call
themselves communists. Anytime a country calls itself the people's republic,
you've got some real issues as to how free the
people's Republic is. Yeah, but you're right on this one.
They did say they have countermeasures coming.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Oh yea.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You know they're now in a pissing match. Ping and
President Trump are really at it. And here's what really
got Here's what got Trump so upset is that China
is limiting its rare earths that now they're playing with
that China controls the rare earth's market, rare earth minerals.
(14:27):
They basically have it about eighty percent of the world market.
And without rare earth, you don't make cell phones, evs,
you don't make electronics. You just need those. I thought
you might have nothing. We were working with. We are,
but it's years in the making. Minds have to be dug.
(14:50):
China has a full blown mature industry with this and
controls the world market. So Trump now attached another one
hundred percent. That's on top of the thirty percent. That's
all aready in place, one hundred and thirty percent. I
told you that my business with savil or cookwear business
which we import from China, a loo stain steel cookware.
(15:12):
What was it. A couple of weeks ago, we got
a shipment of We had seventy thousand dollars, reasonably small shipment.
We needed some back order stuff, so it costs seventy
thousand dollars. The tariff was eighty seven thousand dollars. That
we had to write the federal government on a seventy
thousand dollars order. It was eighty seven thousand dollars in tariffs.
(15:35):
How sustainable do you think that is?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Gosh, it's almost not worth using the Chinese slave labor.
Huh pretty close. Yeah, man, you just can't get good
slave labor anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I guess we're back to the US of a Yeah,
that's not going to help very much because still it
gets crazy cookie. Well the aluminum, we also get aluminum
from overseas too, don't forget the try to produces aluminum.
So it's the whole thing is completely nuts. And the
(16:09):
other thing I think I'm talking about this a little
bit later on one thing about this president, and it's
both good and bad. I'll tell you one thing. For
a US president to bounce back and forth and to
wake up in the morning and establish one policy and
in the afternoon change it. With the kind of influence
the United States has is just astronomical, and he's just
taking everybody for a loop. Okay, moving on, Buttner Butner.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Mayor Bass is getting some competition, and don't look at
me that way.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I got it.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Former La School Superintendent Austin Butner is planning to announce
today that he is going to run against Mayor Bass
for the twenty twenty six mayor's election. He lives in
Pacific Palisades. His home was damaged during the fires. His
mother in law's house was destroyed, and he has criticized
(17:00):
on several fronts, but very critical of the way that
she handled the wildfires, saying the officials at all levels
showed a failure of leadership on the fire.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I don't know how much name recognition he has, because
did you know his name LA Unified School superintendent? Who
it was? I don't think many people did. I did.
But this is what we do for a living. Yeah, well,
thank you. It makes me feel good.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Hey, when only like less than twenty percent of the
population of LA votes for the mayor, are they in
the election?
Speaker 6 (17:34):
I mean nobody knows.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, good point, And Neil says, the course he knows.
I have my doubts.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So the ball keeps bouncing from court to court, and
the Federal Court of Appeals just Saturday temporary temporarily lifted
a judge's order blocking the White House efforts to federalize
National Guard troops for the use in Chicago, but left
her block on their deployment the city, so the troops
(18:01):
can remain at their base, the US Army Reserve Center
there in Elwood, Illinois, just about an hour outside of Chicago.
But they don't need to return home. But they're still
not moving.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, just a now their chapter and how far does
presidential power go? Where the president is testing pushing the
envelope across the board, so we'll see what the courts
have to say on this one. These are all, as
you pointed out, temporary measures until the merits the underlying
case is actually heard as to does the president have
the power? Yes or no?
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Under these circumstances, inventory not required, So for the families
who lose everything in future wildfires, you'll be able to
collect most of your insurance pay out without itemizing everything.
Governor Newsom signed new law that on Friday, and starting
(18:59):
next year, insurers will be required to pay at least
sixty percent of a homeowner's personal property coverage up to
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars without requiring that detailed
inventory list. It's good, but not as good as the
original of the original version of the bill, which would
have required insurers to pay one hundred percent of the
(19:19):
contents without an itemized list.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's a two aage sword. First of all, the insurers
have a legitimate interest saying hey, you know what, We're
not going to just write you a check saying that
based on what you tell us. You know, here's your
one hundred thousand dollars gold coin collection. Oh no, I
had it, now it's gone melted. Well, I guess you
can melt into a gold bar, but you know the
coin that's worth twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
No.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
On the other side, it's who the hell keeps inventory
of everything you have in the house. I mean what
you should do is with homeowner's insurance is video everything
you have, just do a walk through and that helps enormously.
Who the hell does that? So this helps homeowners a
lot and we'll just see how much our insurance rates
(20:08):
go up on that one. And it is fair to
have people be paid for what they lose without having
to do an entire inventory list, because no one does that.
I do, yeah, do you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Actually I go through every now and again, both in
my shop in the house and do a video. And
it's actually it's actually came in handy when we had a.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Film crew used the house. I was able to prove
that things were broken.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Okay, I'm weird, No, all right, since hundreds You remember
back at the earlier part of the year with the
whole doze stuff where people were being fired and then
they were like, oh, whoops, you weren't supposed to be fired.
We're kind of going through that again. These are the
CDC staffers recently fired by the Trump administration. There's about
(20:58):
thirteen hundred workers at the CDC so and they come
from all different walks and areas. But out of that
thirteen hundred, seven hundred were reinstated on Saturday, so you've
got about six hundred remaining laid off. And apparently they
received incorrect notifications.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So they fire everybody. This is Friday. Friday, they all
receive notices and this say you're done. And then the
next day, seven hundred ago, oh we made a mistake,
you're not fired. And this seems to be the way
that the government is being run right now. You'd think
someone would think this through, but it's, uh, let's do
(21:39):
this with a shotgun and then we'll pick up the pieces.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
Where businesses do it.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Businesses I think are more selective. They don't reinstate people.
The next day you get furloughed, and it's not like, oh,
we made a mistake, come on back the next day
by the hundreds or the thousands. Not they don't do.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Till next day.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
But I mean it's happened around here where they do
layoffs and then they bring people.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Back and how how in terms of numbers of layoffs.
How many, it's a tiny, tiny number.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Government should be the best run business in the United States.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well it can't be. It can't be because the government
doesn't have any accountability. You know. It's when you think that,
For example, iHeart it has a it's a public corporation.
It has accountability to his shareholders. People have accountability to
their bosses, the government. It's nobody's money, that's all. It's
(22:36):
not your money, So what do you care it's my money?
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Yeah, this guy picked the wrong place to be in public.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
So apparently somebody went into Saint Peter's Peter's Basilica, went
up to the altar and started curinating.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
He was quickly escorted out of the church.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Pope Leo was informed and was, as he put it,
shocked to learn of the news.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Okay, that leads right into the joke that I must
repeat if you haven't heard it yet, and that is
Will's already shaking his head, and that is this is
not the first time that an attack has been made
at an altar statue in Saint Peter's. The Pieta, which
(23:25):
is in Saint Peter's in the Basilica. There was that
crazy ass Hungarian out of his mind mentally Ipensus, who
took a hammer and started hammering on the piata and
as a matter of fact, I think took out three
or four of the toes, either Jesus or Mary on
the piata. Now it's completely you can't get in his
(23:46):
bulletproof plexiglass in front of it. And as they were
dragging him out, and I quote now, he was screaming Pieta.
I thought it said pinata. Okay, no, I love that.
I'm not putting another notch. Write that down. I'm telling
you that's on my belt. How many times I've heard that? Okay,
(24:06):
thank you very much. I'm sorry. Can whenever time there's
an attack in the Basilica, I have to I have
to say it wrong, Peter, Okay, all right, oh very good.
I guess there's nobody watching Yosemite. So Jozamite is going
to hell in a handbasket. The government shut down.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
You've got increase reports of illegal base jumping from El Capitan.
Also squatters filling up campgrounds. There's climbers using the cables
that you see on the side of half dome, but
they're doing it without permits because there's nobody around it's unclear.
We don't know exactly how many federal employees are working,
(24:48):
how many are not. But one employee who spoke with
sf Gate just you know, anonymously, said that they were
they were only aware of a single volunteer patrolling the
entire park.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, I don't doubt. I'm surpriser was even one, because
they shut down the national parks. Hey, quick question, is
there such thing as legal base jumping for mel Capitan?
Do they allow that?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, I don't think so either.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
So they're taking advantage.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, but if you go and maybe I'm not saying
with real bullets, but maybe paint guns and then you
can go and pluck them off as they fly down.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Maybe that's not even a good idea to suggest.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Well, I'm just saying, if they can squadding and base jumping,
you're better off just letting them fall and just you know,
pick up the pieces. Okay, I wouldn't do that, Okay,
for the record.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Yeah, massive merger hanging in the balance. Paramount has officially
opened the bidding for rival Warner Brothers Discovery. The board
of Warner Brothers Discovery rejected the initial bit of about
twenty dollars chair share, but talks are continuing. Warner This
Discovery owns HBO, CNN, TBS, Food Network, HGTV, and the
(26:05):
Warner Brothers movie and TV studios in Burbank.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, we'll just see how far what there, what there
will how far they're willing to go in terms of, uh,
what they're going to pay per share. Usually, when you're
buying or a company is buying another company, uh, the
price of the stock starts going way, way up and
they end up paying a premium over what the market
value is. And sometimes it can be pretty astronomical, to
(26:31):
the point where the shareholders just say we're done, we're selling,
thank you very much, and we'll see what happened. They
may happen here.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
And Larry Ellison, Uh, you know he's the world's richest man,
right and he wants to.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
The top five. Yeah, so he's up.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
There when daddy's money is there.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, who knows it'll go?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, I got my son at cherurou.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
You're a good dad, Okay about the whole thing for him? Excellent?
All right, So.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
It looks like it's one small step for China possibly
if they get their way. They're trying to get back
to the They're trying to get to the moon. We're
trying to get back to the moon. And there is
more and more chorus of voices saying that the United
States needs to return astronauts to the Moon before the end.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Of this decad This, that, and the other that.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
They people are just saying, hey, we need to get
back up. Their NASA plans to use a SpaceX starship,
which is the largest rocket system ever constructed, as part
of this lunar journey. But Bill Nye, we all know,
the science guy said that the that China's National Space
Administration will almost certainly walk on the Moon in the
next five years.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah, here's the difference between the United States and China. Here.
We have a fair number of legislators who goo, we
don't want to spend this kind of money, or we
have an administration that's going to cut NASA budgets in
China whatever Jijingping wants, and the Politburo says absolutely, once
policy is established, they go for it. Nothing gets in
(28:13):
the way. And that's so it's.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Only money because you know, we did this fifty six
years ago.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Why is it Why is it so difficult to do now?
Because it is not just reaching the moon just for
the hell of reaching the moon. I believe it is
reaching the Moon for the purposes of then being able
to go to Mars. So it's and also reaching the
Moon to set up some kind of habitat there, which
(28:40):
is not it's just not flying in and flying back.
Sort of been there, done.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
That was because we're not going back to the moon
because Stanley Kubrick is dead.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Okay, well said to the moon, Alice, to the moon,
all right, we are done. You've been listening to The
