Me.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Good morning everybody. It is Handle and the Morning crew.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
So far you've heard of and heard from This is
Taco Team date December sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Neil is not with us at.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
All this week, and I believe I am gone all
of next week, so you're not going to have either
Neil or Me within.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
The same show for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Let me say a quick hello Amy with some kind
of Disney apparel on what a shocker.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
It is shocking, but it's Christmas time and I have
Disney Spirit jerseys and I have to wear before the
twenty fifth, So I understand.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I heard you say that was it Saturday? The car
the park was more crowded than you've ever seen it. Yes,
that's the delight when that happens, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
You would have been very happy there.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I'm happy there now, even anticipating how long I would
be waiting in line, and I'm not even there waiting
in line. But then I'm spoiled. I've told you this
many many times. I have not been to Disneyland in
a very very long time, and when I was a
lot younger. February March, Midweek, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, No waits
at all, none for rides. You get right on. So
(01:39):
you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
Well, that's not entirely true.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
There's ways, okay, all right, And you're going to write
a book about it, and know there are ways of
doing it.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
That's lots of people have already written books about it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, I'm sure, and I've written I've read a couple
of books about Disney and Disneyland and Walt Disney. It's
a fascinating story. But even if you do get on rides,
it's still very very crowded.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
And lots and lots of fun and very magical.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yes, not arguing that, okay, never mind the ongoing debate
on the show, of which the Disney fan and the Curmudgeons,
so it all works out, Cono, good morning, Good morning
Bill and will Cole Schreiber, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
To you, sir. Good morning Bill handle, Oh you're so happy.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
And Anne, who loves living here on the show, especially
the nights when she works at so far it works
till two o'clock the morning, goes home and literally changes
clothes and comes here.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Did you do that last night? Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
The other night she did.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And Neil, as I said, is not here, and Cono
is good morning, Cono, good morning.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I want to say I belated Happy birthday to my
dad too.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
This is yesterday, so it's so moving. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
You want to have you No, okay, now I've listening
to you this story with Joel Largeguard and about shopping
for mattresses and how you enjoy shopping for mattresses at
Costco for example. And I'll tell you the same thing.
And you say you can't try them. Let's talk about
(03:20):
the stores. You can try them, these showrooms. And I
used to do commercials for sleep number I have a
whole bunch of them Home Great Bed and they have
stores stand alone stores as to sit and sleep, and
a bunch of other locations and various brands, and they say,
why don't you come and try out the bed. So
here's how you try out the bed. Right, you have
(03:42):
a mattress and you have that sort of cover sheet
at the bottom so your shoes don't scuff up or
dirty the bottom of the mattress and there's no betting
on it at all, and the lights are on and
people are moving all over the place and you have
your clothes on. Now, how do you try out a
mattress that way? You really want to try out a mattress?
(04:04):
You come at night, you bring your pajamas, you bring
your bedding, you bring whoever you sleep with, you stoop
once or twice, you sleep, and now you've tried out
the mattress. Short of that, how do you try out
a mattress with a store full of people in your clothes?
When's the last time you slept in your clothes in
(04:25):
a store? Well, okay, I rest my case. Just want
to ruin it for everybody if I possibly can.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Okay, I like the idea of you showing up in
your pajamas at night and then I'm going to try
the mattress out tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You know, of all the people that would do it,
it probably would be you know.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I can imagine myself doing that and then asking how
many of you have a Florida ceiling windows where homeless
people can stare in while you're sleeping with.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The lights on. Hot, Okay, let's do it. Guys.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
We have a lot to cover today and a lot
about Rob Reiner and his wife and their son, and
so let's start it with the news. It's time for
Handle on the News with Amy and just Me or
me just no Neil. This morning lead story. Well, not
(05:20):
that we didn't know this, because the name came out
pretty quickly, but the thirty two year old son of
Rob and Michelle Reiner was arrested. And it's even started
with the first news reports that were coming out that
certainly they were found in their home dead stab wounds,
(05:41):
family member may be connected.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And now we find that and it's no surprise.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I mean, it's just a logical progression that the son
had a history of drug use, sometimes was estranged from
his family, lived on property, and they were flying overhead
it was at night in the helicopter. Did you notice
how big their house was? And this is in Brentwood,
this is a zillion dollar house, and nobody mentioned, at
(06:11):
least the news people didn't mention. Not that it's relevant,
by the way, that this is a very tony home
in a very tony neighborhood, and usually they do mention that,
but that wasn't particularly important in any case, and then
the news that and I'd heard that he had actually
slit their throats. I don't know, yeah, and I t
(06:36):
And by the way, I believe TMZ before I believe
almost any other news outlet.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And it was.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
And then yesterday it was a long list of well
of films and how iconic Rob Reiner was in several
different genres. He invented, for example, the mockumentary, and he
did Harry met Sally and a few good men. If
you look at the kinds of movies had he did
over the years, I mean, this is a not only prolific,
(07:04):
but a extraordinarily talented director that can go in many
different directions. And then the other part of the story
is that lovely owed to Rob Reiner by President Trump,
where he outdid himself in graciousness, even more so than
the usual Trump outburst in which he ripped into Rob
(07:25):
Reiner and claimed that Reiner's death was a result of
the deranged Trump syndrome chests. And then even the Republicans
went crazy on this one. A lot of Trump supporters went,
come on, that's over the top.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Okay, that was it. We're done with the news. What
do you want to do for the next.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Hour, maybe some more news.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay, why don't we try that?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Okay, Chuck went up for the good guys.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
FBI officials say that a plan to attack several LA
area businesses on New two Years Eve has been foiled.
They call it a dangerous, detailed, and already in motion plan.
First Assistant US Attorney Bill is Saley said at a
news conference yesterday that, in his words, we disrupted this
terror plot before buildings were demolished or innocent people were killed.
(08:19):
They were apparently planning to attack five different locations and
explosions planned for you know, right at midnight.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And described by the US attorney as a radical faction
of the Turtle Island Liberation Front called Order of the
Black Lotus. First of all, I thought that was a
Chinese restaurant downtown. The Black Lotus clearly not. And the
Turtle Island Liberation Front, that's another fun one.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's all ways, if it weren't so serious, and they
weren't so if they were so close to manufacturing and
putting together these bombs, this is absolutely hilarious. I mean,
I mean, this is like just crazy names like the
Order of the Boingo.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
That's how that started.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
By the way, it was a name after a If
I'm not mistaken, Oingo Boingo was the name of.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Laura and Hardy short just interesting names.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I thought i'd point that out, not that it makes
any difference, but then rarely what I say makes any difference.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
All right, let's do another story, if you would.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
They're getting kind of desperate to find this killer. The
FBIS offered a fifty thousand dollars reward for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of the person who went
into Brown University, into the engineering building and shot up
a classroom, killing two and injuring nine others. They had
initially released some video. They released more video footage yesterday,
(09:54):
but it and they show who they believe the suspect
to be.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
But they still don't show his face, yeah, because it
was covered up. Yet he did have a face mask on.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, so they saw his eyes and that's it. So
they're still trying to track him down and they will.
They're very good attracking down these people.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
A tiny new weapon of mass destruction. President Trump has
signed an executive order classifying fentanyl as a weapon of
mass destruction in the Oval Office yesterday, as he signed
the order. He said the amount of drugs coming into
the US by sea has decreased by ninety four percent.
He said drug flows are a direct military threat to
(10:32):
the United States.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I means technically, I mean, are they a weapon of
mass destruction? He can't argue with his sentiment about how
dangerous fentanyl is that you can't, well.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
If it kills hundreds of thousands of people.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It kills. Yeah, I'm not arguing that it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
But you know, so it was COVID and that wasn't
the mass destruction, although it can be already know when
actually purposely brought COVID into the United States, maybe some
Chinese guy out of a life that's a different story.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So you know, technically, is it a.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Weapon of mass destruction brought in by whom we don't
really know at this point, but the cars tell okay,
I mean it's sort of technically okay. You know, in
my opinion, the sentiment is right on this, and he's
using whatever powers he can to fight fentanyl, which I
don't think anybody can argue with.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Another athlete is coming out of retirement. We've heard Philip
Rivers is coming out. Other people just guess they get
out of the game and then they can't stand it,
so they got to get back. Well, Lindsey Vaughn is
returning to downhill racing with her titanium knee, and when
she first made that announcement, people were saying, what she doing.
(11:46):
She needs to see a psychologist, she's crazy, she's too old.
They scoffed at her return to racing at forty one,
but she dominated the opening speed weekend of the Olympic season,
won the first downhill by a huge margin, and scored
more points than any other ski or over three days
of World Cup racing. Her response was that every time
(12:07):
you talk bad about me, it just makes me stronger
and better and more motivated.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Go, Lindsey go.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You know what's weird about this story is I'm looking
at Austrian skater. He was the one Franz Klamber said
that she was completely gone, completely mad. You know, for
some crazy reason, I know that Franz Clomber came from Mussvald, Austria.
(12:37):
I just thought i'd throw that out and you can
look that up. Who the hell thinks of Mussvald, which
is a town of maybe two hundred people.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I don't know, but I like the name.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I know. That's why I think I remembered it.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Okay, moving on, well, Trump fired him, Knewsome hired him.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Two former leaders of the CDC.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Who previously accused the Trump administration of abandoning scientific standards,
will now work with Governor Newsom and the California Department
of Public Health. On Monday, Newsom announced the launch of
the Public Health Network Innovation Exchange PHNIX. They call it
Phoenix at The statewide initiative aims to modernize public health
(13:24):
infrastructure and maintain trust in science decision making, science driven
decision making.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
God forbid that we actually use now medical science. Can
you imagine that real science, real medical science, is now
being derided, that that is fake, where pseudoscience becomes real.
I mean, you talk about a world that's gone topsy turvy.
It's just yeah. As I said, we're going to get
(13:54):
to the point where, and I believe this that before
the end of the administration will be a finding by
the CDC that vaccines and mod themselves are inherently dangerous
and should be banned any kind of vaccine.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
And I do believe that, by the way. Okay, moving on.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Trump wants five billion from the BBC. The president has
filed a defamation lawsuit against BBC in Miami federal court.
The pseud alleges a documentary released by the BBC called
Trump a Second Chance, was produced as part of a
brazen attempt to interfere in and influence the election outcome.
(14:38):
To President Trump's detriment. It claims that the documentary was
edited to make it appear that during his speech outside
the White House on January sixth, twenty twenty one, Trump
had explicitly urged his supporters to attack the US capital,
and if you've seen the video, it did.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, and they agreed by the way, they apologized for it.
Just didn't believe that he was defamed. And normally a
politician who had been accused like this, especially if nothing
had come out of it, would say I'm sorry, I apologize.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It shouldn't have happened.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
And then the whole thing is dropped and now we
have five billion dollars of damages.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
How could he prove damages? Though, like you said, he got.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
That's my point. He won the election.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
What is he going to say, had I lost the
election and you're responsible for it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That's one thing. But he won the election.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's it's, for example, you're a mechanic and you've repaired
my car and you've done stuff more than I ever wanted,
and the car is better, and I'm suing you.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
It's that's what ends up happening.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I have no idea if that analogy works or not,
but I think it's maybe a good one.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
All right, I want to get your sexy.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
On sixty, US health officials have expanded the approval of
a much debated drug aimed at boosting female libido. They
say the once a day pill can now be taken
by postmenopausa women up to sixty five years old. Now,
this was apparently it's called Addie. ADDIEI first approved ten
(16:19):
years ago and was supposed to become like a blockbuster
drug because you know, ladies might not want some love
and after menopause, and this apparently boosts their libido. But
then there were some unpleasant side effects like Disney dizzyness
and nausea, And there was also a safety warning about
the dangers of combining it with alcohol, which is problematic
(16:41):
because you know.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Daniel doesn't dizzeiness and nausea happen anyway, when you're having
sex with a.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Spouse depends on which spouse it is.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And by the way, originally it was IFH It was
known as I'm finally horny is what that stood for.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Getting high? In the US.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
President Trump says the White House is very strongly considering
signing an executive order to reschedule marijuana to a lowered
drug classification.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
He says, because a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Want to see it, and they're talking about reclassifying from
a Schedule one to a Schedule three drug.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And if he does it, which he says he is
leaning towards it, and I think he's going to do
this it finally he will be the first president to
finally reality is here and he's recognizing it. To classify
marijuana in the same classification as heroin, LSD meth Amphetamine's
(17:44):
kind of nuts, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
So you know, I think it's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
All right, take a breath, everybody. That seems to be
the message from the co chief executives of Netflix. They
send out a letter yesterday saying, you know what, we
can close the deal and it's not going to destroy
the entertainment industry. Of course, they're trying to buy Paramount
Skuidouce No, No, there's prided by Warner Brothers and Paramount
(18:12):
Skuydowance is also trying to get the deal. But Netflix
says that this is going to offer consumers more choice
in value and allow the creative community to reach even
more audiences with combined distribution. They said that they will
still do theatrical releases and that's like one of the
big concerns is that if Netflix takes over, movies are
(18:32):
going away in theaters.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Well, I mean, how can you have more choice when
you have two major content providers merging that is so
there's no competition.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's no, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
So you know, as far as all they care about
is talking to number one the government allowing this to
happen in the shareholders who are.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Going to be doing very well.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
A point I want to make Amy is we only
have fifteen stories, which we normally have fifteen to seventeen stories,
and we are going to go through this unfortunately too quickly,
So you and I are going to have to vamp
at the end of next segment.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
So I'm going to suggest we start moving slow.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Although Ann is very happy because we're going to get
through all of the stories.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, but so many.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
We're already on story eleven and it's six thirty seven.
So now we can talk and spend some time talking
about how short the segments are going to be relative
the number of stories, or we can go through them
and we'll vamp.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
At the end of the next segment.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I haven't decided yet, and we'll discuss it, you and I,
but we'll do that during the break. See, this is
inside Baseball. I'm just sharing how we do these shows.
And I get a lot of grief and flat for
sharing all of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But then, hey, what can I tell you? All Right? So, oh,
here's a story I'd love to talk about.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
A lawyer getting disbarred is one of my favorite stories.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
And it's Hunter Biden lost his license. The judge on
Monday disbarred Hunter Biden in Connecticut for violating the state's
attorney conduct rules. Apparently complaints came in because he was
convicted on federal gun and tax charges before he was
pardoned by his dad, President Joe Biden. In an agreement
(20:35):
with the state office that disciplines lawyers, Hunter Biden consented
to being disbarred, and he admitted to attorney misconduct, but
he did not admit to any criminal wrongdoing. He was
also disbarred in Washington, d C. Back in May.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Okay, I mean, I want to make a point about
attorneys being disbarred. Okay, Number one, it's not that easy
to get disbarred. Two, let's find let's let's look into
how stupid hunter Biden is. Forget about the criminality part
of it, just how stupid he is. He goes out
and buys a gun and on the form, it is
(21:09):
are you a drug user during this period of time
or have you been? Or please explain it? And the
only way you're going to be able to buy a
gun is saying I'm not a drug user.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Then he writes a book where he admits being a
drug user. What at the time he was filling out
the form that he was not a drug user, he
contradicted himself about a gun purchase.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oops.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Okay, So he should have been disbarred number one for
just being stupid. And then the other part of this
story is his dad who said, unequivocally or unequivocally no,
I will not pardon him.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
There is no chance.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I think he said this on ABC in an interview
while Biden was overseas at a at a D Day celebration,
and it was said, Nope, not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I mean, I do remember the interview where he was
so adamant about it.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Would you pardon your son? Nope, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
And then of course he turned around and pardoned his son,
which I would have pardoned my family member too, because
you know that the next administration was going to go
in and nail anybody associated with Joe Biden in any case,
because of the fact that he had lied about that,
and he was convicted of three felonies in the purchase
(22:30):
of that gun in twenty eighteen, lied on that federal form.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
He was disbarred for that.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Okay, but here's my question.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
If he was pardoned for anything that he did, can't
couldn't They argue and say, well, he was pardoned, so
there's no there's no nothing it disparred.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
That is a very good argument. That's a very good point.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The problem is is a dispartment disbarment is a civil action.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
It is not a criminal action.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
And so when someone is pardoned federal, the pardon literally
goes to the criminal action and accusation or the conviction
or the court proceeding is against that person. All the
administrative stuff still exists. So the bar is not saying,
you know, he can't be criminally and that doesn't exist
(23:17):
anymore because he's been pardoned. But what it does, it
does say that, you know, we feel that what he
did prior to the pardon, he still did it, and
so they shook away his license. It's an administrative a
move by the state bar. So yeah, you can be
(23:38):
bar you can need disbard for that stuff moral and
it's a moral you can be disbarred from moral turpitude stuff.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Does he still have? Is he still allowed to practice
in other states?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Because he they say he's If he is licensed in
other states, he's allowed to practice.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
However, getting a license in another state.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Is going to be very very difficult, if not impossible,
because he's been disbarred in those two states.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
And one of the questions is have you been disbarred?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
And just on that basis alone, even if you passed
the bar, well, you're crazy to pass the bar or
even take the bar. But yeah, he could theoretically be
licensed in another state if you had decided to apply
for it.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Okay, remember Luke and Laura, Luke Spencer and Joe Lais
last name anyway, it was Anthony Gary and Jeannie Francis
and Anthony Geary, who played Luke, has died. He passed
away Sunday in Amsterdam. He had apparently had surgery a
(24:41):
couple of days before. They haven't said what it was for,
but he later died from that. And of course Luke
and Laura's wedding was one of the most watched TV
events ever.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
And now, I'm not a big fan of General Hospital.
I don't watch any or never have watched any of
the soaks. But is isn't this one of those relationships
that went on.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
For decades, as they all do in soap operas.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Yes, and there's was a very storied one, as most
soap operas do.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
The storylines are pretty outrageous, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
People just love the hell out of them.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So you know how the name soap opera or you know,
got started? Well, originally, when television first started, the first
advertising was for kitchen products, household products, soaps, and that's
how soap opera And I don't know where the word
(25:39):
opera came from, but it was the soaps and at
some point I'm going to tell you off the off
air what they call the whole concept of it in
England and models who used to come to model, especially
early days of television, and it's very, very funny. And
I'm not going to share with you because I would
(26:01):
like to be on the air tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
And it is.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
It's that terrible Okay, Okay, just thought i'd tell you
just to get everybody's interest piqued.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Cono just asked me, what's General Hospital.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Seriously of our lives?
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I know the days of our lives? These are the
days of our lives.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of you know, there's the
big ones. There's General Hospital Days of our lives. One
of my favorite one was the Young and the hung
That was a very nope.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Nope, will don't okay, all my children, Yeah that's another one.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
And the beautiful. Yeah, lots of them.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
And I don't know, I don't think they're even on
TV anymore. I just I think they stream Are they
still on TV?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Are they still on TV? I don't even know. I mean,
who watches TV anymore?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know it's all streaming.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Okay, moving on, it looks like it was ices inspired.
That horrendous shooting on Bondai Beach in Sydney, Australia was
apparently inspired by, or done by a father and son
who were motivated by Islamic state ideology. That's according to
(27:18):
Australia's leader. They had recently traveled to the Philippines to
an area known for Islamist insurgency. The dad was shot.
The son is apparently still in a coma. He was
he was injured. Did you see the video of the
guy who who went and wrestled the gun away from
your father. Yes, it's amazing. It's it was a football tackle,
(27:42):
is what it was. And he was shot. He was
I think he was shot through the hand. And he's
being being touted as a hero as he should. Absolutely,
and this was he was a fruit vendor, not a
particularly wealthy guy. Obviously, all he did was self fruit
go fund me campaign as of yesterday raised nine hundred
and thirty thousand US dollars and it's and he is
(28:06):
rightly going to be getting some money for doing what
he did.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Obviously he wasn't thing of doing that.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
But the Prime Minister of Australia went there and I
think the head of the province went there to to.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Meet with him.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I mean, it's just it's that is a neat story.
That is an Assyrian. By the way, an Assyrian born
in Syria, so he's an Australian citizen. He came to
Australia in two thousand and six. But for all those
people that are screaming about how you have Arabs who
were members of ISIS, this was a man who's a
(28:44):
Muslim who saved people in a big, big way.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Well, you do have people who are members of ISIS.
I mean that's what these guys were.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I mean, no, no, I'm talking about that.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
You're saying you can't blanket and say, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Talking about I'm talking about the man who saved all
all these other lives by tackling these terrorists.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Yeah, he was amazing.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
And the other thing that I didn't realize this initially,
that the shooting was carried out over a half an hour,
Like it wasn't like a lot of the shootings that
come in and spray a place with bullets and it's over.
This was ongoing before they were Well you.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Saw the video overhead video you saw I think it
was the sun shooting from that overpass that little bridge
which has concrete walls on either side, so you can
see how he could have shot from there and been
protected by the wall. Okay, we're done, guys. This is
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
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 KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
App and now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen,
here's Bill handle.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Me.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Good morning everybody. It is Handle and the Morning crew.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
So far you've heard of and heard from This is
Taco Team date December sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Neil is not with us at.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
All this week, and I believe I am gone all
of next week, so you're not going to have either
Neil or Me within.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
The same show for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Let me say a quick hello Amy with some kind
of Disney apparel on what a shocker.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
It is shocking, but it's Christmas time and I have
Disney Spirit jerseys and I have to wear before the
twenty fifth, So I understand.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I heard you say that was it Saturday? The car
the park was more crowded than you've ever seen it. Yes,
that's the delight when that happens, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
You would have been very happy there.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
I'm happy there now, even anticipating how long I would
be waiting in line, and I'm not even there waiting
in line. But then I'm spoiled. I've told you this
many many times. I have not been to Disneyland in
a very very long time, and when I was a
lot younger. February March, Midweek, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, No waits
at all, none for rides. You get right on. So
(01:39):
you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
Well, that's not entirely true.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
There's ways, okay, all right, And you're going to write
a book about it, and know there are ways of
doing it.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
That's lots of people have already written books about it.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, I'm sure, and I've written I've read a couple
of books about Disney and Disneyland and Walt Disney. It's
a fascinating story. But even if you do get on rides,
it's still very very crowded.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
And lots and lots of fun and very magical.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yes, not arguing that, okay, never mind the ongoing debate
on the show, of which the Disney fan and the Curmudgeons,
so it all works out, Cono, good morning, Good morning
Bill and will Cole Schreiber, Good morning.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
To you, sir. Good morning Bill handle, Oh you're so happy.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
And Anne, who loves living here on the show, especially
the nights when she works at so far it works
till two o'clock the morning, goes home and literally changes
clothes and comes here.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Did you do that last night? Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
The other night she did.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
And Neil, as I said, is not here, and Cono
is good morning, Cono, good morning.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
I want to say I belated Happy birthday to my
dad too.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
This is yesterday, so it's so moving. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
You want to have you No, okay, now I've listening
to you this story with Joel Largeguard and about shopping
for mattresses and how you enjoy shopping for mattresses at
Costco for example. And I'll tell you the same thing.
And you say you can't try them. Let's talk about
(03:20):
the stores. You can try them, these showrooms. And I
used to do commercials for sleep number I have a
whole bunch of them Home Great Bed and they have
stores stand alone stores as to sit and sleep, and
a bunch of other locations and various brands, and they say,
why don't you come and try out the bed. So
here's how you try out the bed. Right, you have
(03:42):
a mattress and you have that sort of cover sheet
at the bottom so your shoes don't scuff up or
dirty the bottom of the mattress and there's no betting
on it at all, and the lights are on and
people are moving all over the place and you have
your clothes on. Now, how do you try out a
mattress that way? You really want to try out a mattress?
(04:04):
You come at night, you bring your pajamas, you bring
your bedding, you bring whoever you sleep with, you stoop
once or twice, you sleep, and now you've tried out
the mattress. Short of that, how do you try out
a mattress with a store full of people in your clothes?
When's the last time you slept in your clothes in
(04:25):
a store? Well, okay, I rest my case. Just want
to ruin it for everybody if I possibly can.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Okay, I like the idea of you showing up in
your pajamas at night and then I'm going to try
the mattress out tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You know, of all the people that would do it,
it probably would be you know.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
I can imagine myself doing that and then asking how
many of you have a Florida ceiling windows where homeless
people can stare in while you're sleeping with.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The lights on. Hot, Okay, let's do it. Guys.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
We have a lot to cover today and a lot
about Rob Reiner and his wife and their son, and
so let's start it with the news. It's time for
Handle on the News with Amy and just Me or
me just no Neil. This morning lead story. Well, not
(05:20):
that we didn't know this, because the name came out
pretty quickly, but the thirty two year old son of
Rob and Michelle Reiner was arrested. And it's even started
with the first news reports that were coming out that
certainly they were found in their home dead stab wounds,
(05:41):
family member may be connected.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
And now we find that and it's no surprise.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I mean, it's just a logical progression that the son
had a history of drug use, sometimes was estranged from
his family, lived on property, and they were flying overhead
it was at night in the helicopter. Did you notice
how big their house was? And this is in Brentwood,
this is a zillion dollar house, and nobody mentioned, at
(06:11):
least the news people didn't mention. Not that it's relevant,
by the way, that this is a very tony home
in a very tony neighborhood, and usually they do mention that,
but that wasn't particularly important in any case, and then
the news that and I'd heard that he had actually
slit their throats. I don't know, yeah, and I t
(06:36):
And by the way, I believe TMZ before I believe
almost any other news outlet.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
And it was.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
And then yesterday it was a long list of well
of films and how iconic Rob Reiner was in several
different genres. He invented, for example, the mockumentary, and he
did Harry met Sally and a few good men. If
you look at the kinds of movies had he did
over the years, I mean, this is a not only prolific,
(07:04):
but a extraordinarily talented director that can go in many
different directions. And then the other part of the story
is that lovely owed to Rob Reiner by President Trump,
where he outdid himself in graciousness, even more so than
the usual Trump outburst in which he ripped into Rob
(07:25):
Reiner and claimed that Reiner's death was a result of
the deranged Trump syndrome chests. And then even the Republicans
went crazy on this one. A lot of Trump supporters went,
come on, that's over the top.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Okay, that was it. We're done with the news. What
do you want to do for the next.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Hour, maybe some more news.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Okay, why don't we try that?
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Okay, Chuck went up for the good guys.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
FBI officials say that a plan to attack several LA
area businesses on New two Years Eve has been foiled.
They call it a dangerous, detailed, and already in motion plan.
First Assistant US Attorney Bill is Saley said at a
news conference yesterday that, in his words, we disrupted this
terror plot before buildings were demolished or innocent people were killed.
(08:19):
They were apparently planning to attack five different locations and
explosions planned for you know, right at midnight.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
And described by the US attorney as a radical faction
of the Turtle Island Liberation Front called Order of the
Black Lotus. First of all, I thought that was a
Chinese restaurant downtown. The Black Lotus clearly not. And the
Turtle Island Liberation Front, that's another fun one.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
It's all ways, if it weren't so serious, and they
weren't so if they were so close to manufacturing and
putting together these bombs, this is absolutely hilarious. I mean,
I mean, this is like just crazy names like the
Order of the Boingo.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
That's how that started.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
By the way, it was a name after a If
I'm not mistaken, Oingo Boingo was the name of.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Laura and Hardy short just interesting names.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I thought i'd point that out, not that it makes
any difference, but then rarely what I say makes any difference.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
All right, let's do another story, if you would.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
They're getting kind of desperate to find this killer. The
FBIS offered a fifty thousand dollars reward for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of the person who went
into Brown University, into the engineering building and shot up
a classroom, killing two and injuring nine others. They had
initially released some video. They released more video footage yesterday,
(09:54):
but it and they show who they believe the suspect
to be.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
But they still don't show his face, yeah, because it
was covered up. Yet he did have a face mask on.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yeah, so they saw his eyes and that's it. So
they're still trying to track him down and they will.
They're very good attracking down these people.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
A tiny new weapon of mass destruction. President Trump has
signed an executive order classifying fentanyl as a weapon of
mass destruction in the Oval Office yesterday, as he signed
the order. He said the amount of drugs coming into
the US by sea has decreased by ninety four percent.
He said drug flows are a direct military threat to
(10:32):
the United States.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I means technically, I mean, are they a weapon of
mass destruction? He can't argue with his sentiment about how
dangerous fentanyl is that you can't, well.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
If it kills hundreds of thousands of people.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It kills. Yeah, I'm not arguing that it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
But you know, so it was COVID and that wasn't
the mass destruction, although it can be already know when
actually purposely brought COVID into the United States, maybe some
Chinese guy out of a life that's a different story.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
So you know, technically, is it a.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Weapon of mass destruction brought in by whom we don't
really know at this point, but the cars tell okay,
I mean it's sort of technically okay. You know, in
my opinion, the sentiment is right on this, and he's
using whatever powers he can to fight fentanyl, which I
don't think anybody can argue with.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Another athlete is coming out of retirement. We've heard Philip
Rivers is coming out. Other people just guess they get
out of the game and then they can't stand it,
so they got to get back. Well, Lindsey Vaughn is
returning to downhill racing with her titanium knee, and when
she first made that announcement, people were saying, what she doing.
(11:46):
She needs to see a psychologist, she's crazy, she's too old.
They scoffed at her return to racing at forty one,
but she dominated the opening speed weekend of the Olympic season,
won the first downhill by a huge margin, and scored
more points than any other ski or over three days
of World Cup racing. Her response was that every time
(12:07):
you talk bad about me, it just makes me stronger
and better and more motivated.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
Go, Lindsey go.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You know what's weird about this story is I'm looking
at Austrian skater. He was the one Franz Klamber said
that she was completely gone, completely mad. You know, for
some crazy reason, I know that Franz Clomber came from Mussvald, Austria.
(12:37):
I just thought i'd throw that out and you can
look that up. Who the hell thinks of Mussvald, which
is a town of maybe two hundred people.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
I don't know, but I like the name.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I know. That's why I think I remembered it.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Okay, moving on, well, Trump fired him, Knewsome hired him.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Two former leaders of the CDC.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Who previously accused the Trump administration of abandoning scientific standards,
will now work with Governor Newsom and the California Department
of Public Health. On Monday, Newsom announced the launch of
the Public Health Network Innovation Exchange PHNIX. They call it
Phoenix at The statewide initiative aims to modernize public health
(13:24):
infrastructure and maintain trust in science decision making, science driven
decision making.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
God forbid that we actually use now medical science. Can
you imagine that real science, real medical science, is now
being derided, that that is fake, where pseudoscience becomes real.
I mean, you talk about a world that's gone topsy turvy.
It's just yeah. As I said, we're going to get
(13:54):
to the point where, and I believe this that before
the end of the administration will be a finding by
the CDC that vaccines and mod themselves are inherently dangerous
and should be banned any kind of vaccine.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
And I do believe that, by the way. Okay, moving on.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Trump wants five billion from the BBC. The president has
filed a defamation lawsuit against BBC in Miami federal court.
The pseud alleges a documentary released by the BBC called
Trump a Second Chance, was produced as part of a
brazen attempt to interfere in and influence the election outcome.
(14:38):
To President Trump's detriment. It claims that the documentary was
edited to make it appear that during his speech outside
the White House on January sixth, twenty twenty one, Trump
had explicitly urged his supporters to attack the US capital,
and if you've seen the video, it did.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, and they agreed by the way, they apologized for it.
Just didn't believe that he was defamed. And normally a
politician who had been accused like this, especially if nothing
had come out of it, would say I'm sorry, I apologize.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It shouldn't have happened.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
And then the whole thing is dropped and now we
have five billion dollars of damages.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
How could he prove damages? Though, like you said, he got.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
That's my point. He won the election.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
What is he going to say, had I lost the
election and you're responsible for it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
That's one thing. But he won the election.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's it's, for example, you're a mechanic and you've repaired
my car and you've done stuff more than I ever wanted,
and the car is better, and I'm suing you.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
It's that's what ends up happening.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
I have no idea if that analogy works or not,
but I think it's maybe a good one.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
All right, I want to get your sexy.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
On sixty, US health officials have expanded the approval of
a much debated drug aimed at boosting female libido. They
say the once a day pill can now be taken
by postmenopausa women up to sixty five years old. Now,
this was apparently it's called Addie. ADDIEI first approved ten
(16:19):
years ago and was supposed to become like a blockbuster
drug because you know, ladies might not want some love
and after menopause, and this apparently boosts their libido. But
then there were some unpleasant side effects like Disney dizzyness
and nausea, And there was also a safety warning about
the dangers of combining it with alcohol, which is problematic
(16:41):
because you know.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Daniel doesn't dizzeiness and nausea happen anyway, when you're having
sex with a.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Spouse depends on which spouse it is.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
And by the way, originally it was IFH It was
known as I'm finally horny is what that stood for.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
Getting high? In the US.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
President Trump says the White House is very strongly considering
signing an executive order to reschedule marijuana to a lowered
drug classification.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
He says, because a lot of people.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
Want to see it, and they're talking about reclassifying from
a Schedule one to a Schedule three drug.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
And if he does it, which he says he is
leaning towards it, and I think he's going to do
this it finally he will be the first president to
finally reality is here and he's recognizing it. To classify
marijuana in the same classification as heroin, LSD meth Amphetamine's
(17:44):
kind of nuts, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
So you know, I think it's going to happen.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
All right, take a breath, everybody. That seems to be
the message from the co chief executives of Netflix. They
send out a letter yesterday saying, you know what, we
can close the deal and it's not going to destroy
the entertainment industry. Of course, they're trying to buy Paramount
Skuidouce No, No, there's prided by Warner Brothers and Paramount
(18:12):
Skuydowance is also trying to get the deal. But Netflix
says that this is going to offer consumers more choice
in value and allow the creative community to reach even
more audiences with combined distribution. They said that they will
still do theatrical releases and that's like one of the
big concerns is that if Netflix takes over, movies are
(18:32):
going away in theaters.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Well, I mean, how can you have more choice when
you have two major content providers merging that is so
there's no competition.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
It's no, that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
So you know, as far as all they care about
is talking to number one the government allowing this to
happen in the shareholders who are.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Going to be doing very well.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
A point I want to make Amy is we only
have fifteen stories, which we normally have fifteen to seventeen stories,
and we are going to go through this unfortunately too quickly,
So you and I are going to have to vamp
at the end of next segment.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
So I'm going to suggest we start moving slow.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Although Ann is very happy because we're going to get
through all of the stories.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Yeah, but so many.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
We're already on story eleven and it's six thirty seven.
So now we can talk and spend some time talking
about how short the segments are going to be relative
the number of stories, or we can go through them
and we'll vamp.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
At the end of the next segment.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I haven't decided yet, and we'll discuss it, you and I,
but we'll do that during the break. See, this is
inside Baseball. I'm just sharing how we do these shows.
And I get a lot of grief and flat for
sharing all of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But then, hey, what can I tell you? All Right? So, oh,
here's a story I'd love to talk about.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
A lawyer getting disbarred is one of my favorite stories.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
And it's Hunter Biden lost his license. The judge on
Monday disbarred Hunter Biden in Connecticut for violating the state's
attorney conduct rules. Apparently complaints came in because he was
convicted on federal gun and tax charges before he was
pardoned by his dad, President Joe Biden. In an agreement
(20:35):
with the state office that disciplines lawyers, Hunter Biden consented
to being disbarred, and he admitted to attorney misconduct, but
he did not admit to any criminal wrongdoing. He was
also disbarred in Washington, d C. Back in May.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Okay, I mean, I want to make a point about
attorneys being disbarred. Okay, Number one, it's not that easy
to get disbarred. Two, let's find let's let's look into
how stupid hunter Biden is. Forget about the criminality part
of it, just how stupid he is. He goes out
and buys a gun and on the form, it is
(21:09):
are you a drug user during this period of time
or have you been? Or please explain it? And the
only way you're going to be able to buy a
gun is saying I'm not a drug user.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Then he writes a book where he admits being a
drug user. What at the time he was filling out
the form that he was not a drug user, he
contradicted himself about a gun purchase.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oops.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Okay, So he should have been disbarred number one for
just being stupid. And then the other part of this
story is his dad who said, unequivocally or unequivocally no,
I will not pardon him.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
There is no chance.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
I think he said this on ABC in an interview
while Biden was overseas at a at a D Day celebration,
and it was said, Nope, not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I mean, I do remember the interview where he was
so adamant about it.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Would you pardon your son? Nope, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
And then of course he turned around and pardoned his son,
which I would have pardoned my family member too, because
you know that the next administration was going to go
in and nail anybody associated with Joe Biden in any case,
because of the fact that he had lied about that,
and he was convicted of three felonies in the purchase
(22:30):
of that gun in twenty eighteen, lied on that federal form.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
He was disbarred for that.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
Okay, but here's my question.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
If he was pardoned for anything that he did, can't
couldn't They argue and say, well, he was pardoned, so
there's no there's no nothing it disparred.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
That is a very good argument. That's a very good point.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
The problem is is a dispartment disbarment is a civil action.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
It is not a criminal action.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
And so when someone is pardoned federal, the pardon literally
goes to the criminal action and accusation or the conviction
or the court proceeding is against that person. All the
administrative stuff still exists. So the bar is not saying,
you know, he can't be criminally and that doesn't exist
(23:17):
anymore because he's been pardoned. But what it does, it
does say that, you know, we feel that what he
did prior to the pardon, he still did it, and
so they shook away his license. It's an administrative a
move by the state bar. So yeah, you can be
(23:38):
bar you can need disbard for that stuff moral and
it's a moral you can be disbarred from moral turpitude stuff.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
Does he still have? Is he still allowed to practice
in other states?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Because he they say he's If he is licensed in
other states, he's allowed to practice.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
However, getting a license in another state.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Is going to be very very difficult, if not impossible,
because he's been disbarred in those two states.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
And one of the questions is have you been disbarred?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
And just on that basis alone, even if you passed
the bar, well, you're crazy to pass the bar or
even take the bar. But yeah, he could theoretically be
licensed in another state if you had decided to apply
for it.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
Okay, remember Luke and Laura, Luke Spencer and Joe Lais
last name anyway, it was Anthony Gary and Jeannie Francis
and Anthony Geary, who played Luke, has died. He passed
away Sunday in Amsterdam. He had apparently had surgery a
(24:41):
couple of days before. They haven't said what it was for,
but he later died from that. And of course Luke
and Laura's wedding was one of the most watched TV
events ever.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
And now, I'm not a big fan of General Hospital.
I don't watch any or never have watched any of
the soaks. But is isn't this one of those relationships
that went on.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
For decades, as they all do in soap operas.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Yes, and there's was a very storied one, as most
soap operas do.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
The storylines are pretty outrageous, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
People just love the hell out of them.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
So you know how the name soap opera or you know,
got started? Well, originally, when television first started, the first
advertising was for kitchen products, household products, soaps, and that's
how soap opera And I don't know where the word
(25:39):
opera came from, but it was the soaps and at
some point I'm going to tell you off the off
air what they call the whole concept of it in
England and models who used to come to model, especially
early days of television, and it's very, very funny. And
I'm not going to share with you because I would
(26:01):
like to be on the air tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
And it is.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
It's that terrible Okay, Okay, just thought i'd tell you
just to get everybody's interest piqued.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Cono just asked me, what's General Hospital.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Seriously of our lives?
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I know the days of our lives? These are the
days of our lives.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of you know, there's the
big ones. There's General Hospital Days of our lives. One
of my favorite one was the Young and the hung
That was a very nope.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Nope, will don't okay, all my children, Yeah that's another one.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
And the beautiful. Yeah, lots of them.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
And I don't know, I don't think they're even on
TV anymore. I just I think they stream Are they
still on TV?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Are they still on TV? I don't even know. I mean,
who watches TV anymore?
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know it's all streaming.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Okay, moving on, it looks like it was ices inspired.
That horrendous shooting on Bondai Beach in Sydney, Australia was
apparently inspired by, or done by a father and son
who were motivated by Islamic state ideology. That's according to
(27:18):
Australia's leader. They had recently traveled to the Philippines to
an area known for Islamist insurgency. The dad was shot.
The son is apparently still in a coma. He was
he was injured. Did you see the video of the
guy who who went and wrestled the gun away from
your father. Yes, it's amazing. It's it was a football tackle,
(27:42):
is what it was. And he was shot. He was
I think he was shot through the hand. And he's
being being touted as a hero as he should. Absolutely,
and this was he was a fruit vendor, not a
particularly wealthy guy. Obviously, all he did was self fruit
go fund me campaign as of yesterday raised nine hundred
and thirty thousand US dollars and it's and he is
(28:06):
rightly going to be getting some money for doing what
he did.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Obviously he wasn't thing of doing that.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
But the Prime Minister of Australia went there and I
think the head of the province went there to to.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Meet with him.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
I mean, it's just it's that is a neat story.
That is an Assyrian. By the way, an Assyrian born
in Syria, so he's an Australian citizen. He came to
Australia in two thousand and six. But for all those
people that are screaming about how you have Arabs who
were members of ISIS, this was a man who's a
(28:44):
Muslim who saved people in a big, big way.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
Well, you do have people who are members of ISIS.
I mean that's what these guys were.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
I mean, no, no, I'm talking about that.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
You're saying you can't blanket and say, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Talking about I'm talking about the man who saved all
all these other lives by tackling these terrorists.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
Yeah, he was amazing.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
And the other thing that I didn't realize this initially,
that the shooting was carried out over a half an hour,
Like it wasn't like a lot of the shootings that
come in and spray a place with bullets and it's over.
This was ongoing before they were Well you.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Saw the video overhead video you saw I think it
was the sun shooting from that overpass that little bridge
which has concrete walls on either side, so you can
see how he could have shot from there and been
protected by the wall. Okay, we're done, guys. This is
