  Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Last full week to go. Well, last week before the election,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: which is a week from tomorrow. And I'll be doing
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the props for the most part, going through them. And
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: it's my voter. Don't you dare vote. Follow the vote guide.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And I'll be doing that every day starting at, I guess, 7.30,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: 7.30 to 8. Although today will be a quick one
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: because one of the props is no one's against it
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Now, well, a couple people are, but I'll be explaining.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Excuse me.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And then I'm going to give you a rundown about
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the propositions. But the bottom line is everything you see
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: on TV and read is a complete lie. You do
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: not want to rely on any of that. You should
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: only rely on me and I'm telling you don't rely
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: on me.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So is there an answer?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there is.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And I'll share it with you later on, but first
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: a quick hello to the crowd and a good morning.

  Speaker 3: Come on. I only dress up for your parties.
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Our parties you have to dress up for.

  Speaker 6: your party for Halloween.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, you should actually.
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: You should.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: You know, what this year I might do is maybe,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: maybe be a popsicle. You know, it's fairly easy to make.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But a melting popsicle.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Ah. Ah, because.
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: You're going to take your shirt off?
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 8: okay uh let me see what's going on this morning
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: it's uh It's been an interesting, interesting few days.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Um, Republicans are going completely crazy, which we'll talk about
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on. Uh, as far as Abdul
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Syed in, uh, Michigan, uh, it is, uh, uh, well,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the bottom line is it's no longer issues. Uh, it's, uh,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: he is a, he is name is Muhammad, which it isn't.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And he is a jihadist. That's all they, that's the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: word that's being thrown about jihadist, jihadist, jihadist. Uh, it's, uh,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I think there's a little desperation out there. We'll see
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: how badly the Republicans do. I think it's going to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: be very interesting. It's going to be very, very interesting
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: coming up next Tuesday. Boy, am I going to be
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: glued to the TV screen Tuesday night. I will be
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: very tired Wednesday morning because I don't know how much
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: sleep I'm going to get. All right. So what do
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: we have going today? Football game yesterday. I actually have
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: gotten into football. Kansas City played one of the worst
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: games I've ever seen.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: That's basically it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: What's your football snack? What's your go-to snack when you're
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: watching the game?
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I have a list here. It's several pages. Let me
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: go ahead and staple them together. Yeah, it really, yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: All from Costco.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It starts at avocado, right? And it ends with, what
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: starts with a Z? Oof.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: That's a good question.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Z-food? Z-food? No, that's, yes.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: Eat Z-food.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that works.
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I would, uh, cause that was a clever riposte. Uh,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: if I, uh, had come up with, uh, a Z food, uh, okay. Uh,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: let's do it guys. We've got a lot of news
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to cover this morning. So it's going to be a busy,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: busy morning. Uh, let's do it. It's time for handle
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: on the news with Amy, Neil and me lead story. In, uh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: A couple of different ways in which the Trump administration
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: is seeking to real simply overturn the election before it
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: even starts. One of the ways in the Alaska one
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: is really terrific. This is against California. This is the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: federal government saying, Department of Justice saying that California must
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: set aside 20,000 ballots from voters that the feds question
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the citizenship of. And there's 20,000 of them that we
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: have questioned. Therefore, California has to set those aside and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: effectively not count them until their citizenry can be ascertained
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and California must prove they are citizens. Okay, so here's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: what happens. The DOJ goes to court. The lower court
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: won't make a decision because it's asking for more information
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: from the feds. The feds go directly to the appeals
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: court and the appeals court says a couple of things.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Number one, why are you coming to us? The lower
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: court hasn't even made a decision. There's nothing to appeal.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: That's for starters.
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And then the other issue is even if we granted
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: it now, on what basis do you have a lawsuit here?
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Because you have said.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: That there are 20,000 ballots or 20,000 ballots that have
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: been sent out to non-citizens.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Where did you get that information?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Where did that come from? You just came up with
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a figure with absolutely no proof other than an allegation. And,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean, the DOJ had a very good
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: argument for that, and it answered, uh, uh, uh, uh.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: So that's going to be knocked down.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And then the Alaska one is, we've talked about that,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and we will, because that one is completely insane.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: As to where it's going to go.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And incidentally, if you talk about 20,000 votes that are
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: not going to be counted and only going to be counted,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: how do you count and look for the citizenship of
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: 20,000 votes in a week?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: How do you prove it?
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: By mail?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Does someone ask me by mail, prove that you're a citizen, Bill? Okay.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So I am now going to mail you a copy
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: of my passport. But what if it doesn't hit by
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: election day?
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Well, California. You have a month in California. Yeah, California
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: have a month. That's true.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: But in general, the concept is how do you prove it?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And is my passport legitimate? Or can you argue that
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: my passport is not legitimate?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It's easy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: You call them. And if they pick up the phone,
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: then you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Go, ah!
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's getting a little crazy out there. It really is.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And so we're going to– I can't wait for this.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: It's going to be fantastic.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on. Amy. Amy.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Well, speaking of voting, the polls are open. At least
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: they will be starting at 10 this morning. Early voting
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: has begun across L.A. County. 123 centers, in-person voting centers,
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: opened on Saturday. You can go and vote there. You
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: can drop off your vote-by-mail ballot. You can use countywide
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: drop boxes. You can go to any vote center. You
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: don't have to go to the one closest to you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: You can go to the one next to your work
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: or next to the Target store where you're doing some shopping.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: The centers are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: through next Monday. And then on Election Day, they'll be
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. And if 123
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: centers isn't enough, another 523 will be opening this weekend.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: California is definitely the target of the DOJ in terms
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of voting. California is probably the most expansive voting rules country.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that exist in the United States. Everybody, anybody can vote.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: And of course, the argument is if it's so wide
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: open that anybody could commit fraud, well, it's probably easier
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to commit fraud in California. The problem is for those
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: that make that argument, there doesn't seem to be much.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: The allegations are there, but kind of where's the beef?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And the beef has not been produced yet. There is
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: no beef on the griddle.
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: If you're going to, you know, go about fraud, Yes.
• 9:13
  Speaker 9: Don't do it in like a 95 percent liberal state.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, what are you going to do? Make it
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: more blue?
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. It doesn't make any sense.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: And then if you go to a ruby red state,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you're probably going to lose anyway. That's why it's pretty
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: well baked in in terms of how much fraud there isn't. Now,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: California and here's the premise, I guess. From what I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: understand or what I would guess for the Trump administration
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: or any Republican administration, the more people that that vote
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: in California, the worse they do. Because they don't they
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: don't want things like votes because votes go against them.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Well, it certainly does in California. Well, in California, they.
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: California will allow the entire state to fall into the
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: ocean and still continue to vote for the same people.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: That's absolutely true. California is so blue. How blue is it?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: How blue is it? It is, well, it's pretty blue.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: You're Carson.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: No, it is so blue that and this is, I think,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: a legitimate political statement that in state government since the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Senate and the Assembly both have super majorities with Democrats.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know why Republicans even show up at the legislature.
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Why bother? Just get your check, stay home and enjoy yourself.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Make a couple of extra bucks. Be a greeter at
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: at Wal-Mart. Okay, we can do one more before we
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: take our first break.
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: Okay, another one about the election. They're pulling out the
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: big guns. Obama, he's getting on the campaign trail. He's
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: got harsh words. Nobody said whether they were on a
• 10:57
  Speaker 9: teleprompter or not, but he came out criticizing President Trump
• 11:02
  Speaker 9: and Republicans in an Ohio rally just on Saturday. So
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: midterm rally. less than two weeks until election day. Obviously
• 11:12
  Speaker 9: he came out swinging in the neck and neck.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: And you know what?
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: Of course they asked Trump Saturday, you know, what he
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: thinks of Obama, Bill Clinton, that type of thing. And
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: he says, you know, the two are critical because we
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: beat them.
• 11:26
  Speaker 7: We beat them.
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: He said, Obama was a lousy president. Clinton was not bad,
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: but he got caught up in a lot of scandals.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Well, that's absolutely true too.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And I think as far as so far, The line
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: du jour is Obama's. He's had the cleverest line so
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: far out there. He said, let's look at the White
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: House with all the gold and what the president is doing.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: It's like Saddam Hussein is putting in a cheesecake factory
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: in the White House, which I thought was kind of clever.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: OK, let's take a break. We'll be back.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Hey, tomorrow is the Israeli election.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Which is some huge news relative to what's going to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: go on in the Middle East and what happens in
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the Middle East, of course, affects us pretty deeply. So
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I'll talk about that a little bit more today and
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: certainly tomorrow and Wednesday.
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: Hey, Bill, as a Jewish man.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: As a Jewish man, yes, I am. I'll show you, actually.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Could you go to Israel and vote?
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: No, I would have to be a citizen of Israel,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: which I can be, but there are certain— You've never
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: done that? No, no, I wouldn't be a citizen of Israel.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I hate Jews. You know, why would I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: surround myself in a country full of them? You know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've got enough around my life anyway.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but there's.
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: Nothing worse than you going to Israel and telling everybody
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: you're Jewish.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's absolutely true. It's an embarrassment. Now, can I vote? Yes,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I could vote if, and what it's called, if I
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: made aliyah. Which means I go to Israel. Any Jew
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: anywhere in the world can go to Israel and become
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a citizen. Because remember, Israel was created out of the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: ashes of the Holocaust, and Jews have been kicked around
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: for so long that one of the reasons Israel was
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: around is because of that. And one of the tenets
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: of Israel is that any Jew anywhere in the world
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: can come to Israel, and you are a citizen of Israel.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: But you have to make this aliyah, which means you
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: have to go to Israel to intend to live in Israel.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: You have to switch where you're going to live. And
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: that is not that easy to do because you're talking
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: about setting up housing and jobs, bank accounts, driver's license,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: all that. So it's a big deal. But yeah, I mean,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I could go tomorrow. There is no entry requirement, nothing
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: other than proving to the government, the Israeli government, that
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I intended to live in Israel and be a citizen
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: of Israel.
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Moving on.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Moving on.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: Oh, is it my turn now? It is.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Neil asked me a question. I had to
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: go through a whole diatribe there.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: Suing before the votes are even counted. U.S. Attorney General
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: Todd Blanch has defended... The department's lawsuit seeking to stop
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Alaska from certifying results of its Senate election if the
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Republican incumbent loses. The Justice Department claims that there is
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: confusion over candidates with the same name on the ballot
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: as the reason for the suit. Some Democrats argue that
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: it's actually an attempt to interfere in the democratic process.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: The two on the ballot are retired school teacher Daniel J.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Sullivan and the current Republican Senator dan sullivan.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Now this one gets kind of interesting just by the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the way the court works uh let's say he's right
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and there is confusion.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: I think there is okay there.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Is there might very well be confusion so and the
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: question is uh so what do you stop uh do
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you stop the second daniel uh sullivan from running you
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: are not allowed to run because your name is similar
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: okay let's do that or you have to change your
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: name second of all asking the court to do something
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: before the vote Gee, the courts usually don't, don't we
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: do something to determine what happens illegally? Now there's such
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: a thing as declaratory relief. And then the question is,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: how do you prove who confused who?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Literally.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So they're saying people can be confused between the two.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And you and I know that of course there is confusion.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: How much confusion?
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: Who voted?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: How do you find out without asking people who they
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: voted for? And all of a sudden, the secret ballot
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: is no longer secret in the United States. They can
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: ask you who you voted for. You think the courts
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: are going to allow that to happen? And they're going
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: to come up with some crazy-ass formula that X number
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: of people, they're going to do some kind of a sampling.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: They're going to do some kind of an algorithm that's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: going to some equation they're going to come up with.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: It's not going to work. There's confusion, but then it
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't stop. There was a confusion in Alaska before.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: There were two names that were there.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: One for Lieutenant Governor, the same name.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: People get confused.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: And the argument is that, gee, the second Dan Sullivan,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the retired school teacher, is running just to screw up
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the election so the Democrat wins.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Okay. What stops the Republicans from doing that?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Nothing.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: And the argument is that the second Sullivan was put
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: in there just to screw.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Up the Republican vote.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Because he registered as a Republican just before signing up
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to vote.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: So let's now talk about what your motives were. You
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: didn't run because you wanted to run. You ran because
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: you wanted to screw the Democrats up.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Well, no, I didn't.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: No, I wanted to screw the Republicans.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: No, to screw the, yeah, no, you, yeah, you did
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: this to screw the Republicans. No, I didn't.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: We know what your thinking is. We know what your
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: motivation is. We'll make that decision for you.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: What do you do with that?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Where do you go with that? And it's interference, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: it's just dead even. And the interference, again, if the
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Republicans look that they're in trouble or look like it's
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a close race, they will do anything, anything to try
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to win, to skew the vote. Look at the two
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: cases that are going on right now. Okay, let's take
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: a break. I'm telling you, this race is fantastic this year.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And Al-Sayed is a jihadist.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: I think we should have a blood pressure cuff on you.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I am thrilled. This is high blood pressure for fun.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: I know you're enjoying it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, you're right.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: My head's about to pop off.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: There's no question about it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: Do it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Do it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Why don't we take a break and we'll come back
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: and continue on with more.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Election a week from tomorrow, Israeli election tomorrow, and I'll
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: spend a couple minutes talking about that. That is no
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: small deal, even though it's in Israel. Boy, is it
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: going to affect us big time. All right, back we
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: go to more Handel on the news with Amy, Neil,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: and me.
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: All right, this is out of Caracas. Fun to say, Caracas, Venezuela.
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: The opposition leader and Nobel laureate, Maria Corina Machado, reappeared
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: in Venezuela just yesterday for the first time since December,
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: kind of in exile, if you will, and comes out swinging,
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: saying the country's democratic future is on the rocks. So
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: it was her first appearance since the U.S. military deposed
• 19:05
  Speaker 9: the country's then president, Nicolas Maduro.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, she couldn't come back in the country
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: while Maduro was there. But now that Delcy is there,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: what is she going to do, throw her in jail?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: By the way, did you know that, of course, Venezuela
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: was the richest country in South America. It was an
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: extraordinarily wealthy country. It was considered the Paris of South America.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: It was one of the world's centers of plastic surgery.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Did you know that? I did not.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very inexpensive relative to what it costs here,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and it was world-class. So people would go down there
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: for La Bubelas.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: Is that what they call them?
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: LaBubellas.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: LaBubellas. We call them boob reconstruction there. It's LaBubellas. That
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: sounds like a cute cottage house. It does.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: I just bought the most gorgeous bubella.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I just had a little operation and got the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: most wonderful bubellas. By the way, I have no idea
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: if that's true or not. I made it up, but
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: it sounds good, doesn't it?
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: Oh, I'm disappointed.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I know, me too. I know.
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: There's been a murder arrest in Okinawa. This is in
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: relation to the robbery and murder of a Japanese woman.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: A U.S.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Marine has been indicted. He's 20 years old. He was
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: stationed at Futanama Air Base and was indicted yesterday. amid
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: growing anger among Okinawa residents over what happened and the
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: presence of U.S. military installations on the island.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a history of American forces in Okinawa.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind, Okinawa is different than Japan, even though
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: it's owned by Japan. It's the territory of Japan. They're
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: their own people. They speak their own language. And a
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: huge history of American misdeeds among service people and Okinawan citizens.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: And they were always.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: When something like this happened, theft or robbery, the accusation
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and the trial took place in a military court. And
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the military didn't hit them very, very hard at all.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: So the Okinawans were a little upset. So there's a
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: whole history here.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is horrible.
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: All right, get him out is the push for Netanyahu
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: as thousands of Israeli expats are headed home just to vote.
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: Their estimate currently is about 67,000 Israeli expats are expected
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: to return to Israel to vote and help swing a
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: very tight race between Netanyahu and the opposition.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm going to do a little bit of that
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: coming up at 8.50. And I'll tell you what the
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Netanyahu administration is doing. It smells an awful lot like
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: what's happening here in the United States. I'll share that
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: with you when we come back. Well, I'll share that
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: with you when I do the 8.50 segment, last segment
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: of the show.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: Parts of lions and tigers and bears. A federal judge
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: sentenced a couple from Anaheim to three years probation. This
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: makes me grumpy. After they pled guilty to helping traffic
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: wildlife parts. Like what kind of parts? Oh, black bear gallbladders,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: lion's teeth, a tiger pelt, and rhinoceros horns. They were
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: shipping them off from Oregon to Vietnam.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I can understand.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: No, it's for awfulness.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Well, the tiger pelts are for rugs. The rhinoceros horns
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and gallbladders are for erections. So people of the Chinese
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: ilk think that they're going to be better and have greater,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: stronger erections and fertility. Yeah, it doesn't work that way.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: And the tiger's teeth, I think, are just– Well, yeah.
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: Why lion's teeth?
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Because I think they make– I think they crush it. No,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: they don't.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: They make necklaces and things about that. Because they're considered
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: good luck. It's like a rabbit's foot. But it's lion's teeth.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And if you went to the little markets in Africa,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: we went to a Maasai village, and they had all
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: these lion's teeth necklaces.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: They did?
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: And except that I went to our guide there. I said,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: give me a break.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: There aren't enough lions on the planet. to come up
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: with these teeth. He goes, yeah, well, they're pretty fake, yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And they go, and they're made in China. Well, yeah,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: pretty much, yeah. While they, you know, real stuff that
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: they sell made by the village women, the little bead
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: stuff that's wonderful that they do in Africa.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Lion's teeth, not so much. Not so much. But it
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: is horrible. The fact that these two got probation.
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: Three years probation.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: That is insane. They should have done 10 or 15
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: years in prison for that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Like these people, what they're doing is helping to Destroy
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: wildlife populations. Like there are rhinos that I saw when
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: we were in Africa. That species, that part of that
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: species is now extinct because the last two died.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: You go to South Africa and you'll see rhinos with
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: their horns cut off because they want to save these
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: rhinos from poaching.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Because what the poachers do is kill the rhinos, take
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: off their horns.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Now in Kenya, where I was at, there has not
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: been a poaching incident in 10 years.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: Say why.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Ten years there has not been one poaching incident.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: Because they shoot them.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. They kill the poachers.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Poachers are taking a big risk.
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: Do they take off their horn?
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: They do. Yeah. And they should. I mean, poaching is horrific.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, just horrific. All right. Let's take a quick break.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: We'll come back and we'll finish this up.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Handle on the news on a Monday morning.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: You're listening to Bill Handel on demand from KFI AM 640.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: What a week we're going to have Israeli elections tomorrow.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: We'll be talking about later. That's a big deal how
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: it affects us. And then, of course, next Tuesday is
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: our election. And starting today at 730 every day, I'm
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: going to do the voter guide. the voter guide, which
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: you cannot pay attention to, but that's a given. I'll
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: start going into the first couple of propositions every day
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: until Monday. Okay, let's go ahead and finish up Handle
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: on the News with Amy, Neil, and me.
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: All right, those speed cameras everybody's been talking about while
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: they are finally here today, flashing across Los Angeles, the
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: official rollout, new traffic enforcement, they have this program. It'll
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: eventually bring about 125 cameras here to the city streets.
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: And the fines, they're going to have a trial period.
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: Listening to Amy earlier, there's going to be a 60-day
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: warning period during which drivers that get caught exceeding the
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: speed limit and the thresholds are going to get warning notices.
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: But when they kick in, 11 to 15 miles per
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: hour over is a $ 50 fine. 16 to 25 miles
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: per hour over a hundred dollars.
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: Fine.
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: 26 miles per hour over 200 and then a hundred
• 26:34
  Speaker 9: miles per hour over or more 500 bucks.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: How does anybody drive a hundred miles per hour over the, well,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: let's just say a hundred miles per hour through the
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: city streets without killing somebody.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Well, how do you get up to speed? Oh, you can,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: you can do it. I mean, it's kind of crazy.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: And then those fines.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: Not going north to south.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Or east to west. It's insane.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, people die on that one, but, uh, there, uh,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: they should be, they, those fines should be a lot stiffer. And, uh,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: those fines also come with assessments. So people don't realize
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you can triple the fines.
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: Usually.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Uh, going to a strip club could kill you. Two
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: cases of tuberculosis were recently linked to a strip club
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: in San Francisco. Uh, The bacterial infections were traced back
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: to the Crazy Horse Gentlemen's Club. People infected with active
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: TB will feel sick, according to the CDC, and it
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: can become deadly if you don't get treated.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: You'd think they'd be getting a staph infection.
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: Good night, everybody.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. Let's talk about Venezuelan boobs again, okay?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Bubelas.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yes. Las bubelas, yes.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Neil?
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about Boobellas. Got lost
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: in thought. Ah, Boobellas. So soft and cuddly.
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: Sketchers.
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: They got this corporate headquarter out there in Manhattan Beach. Well,
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: it's up for sale. 30,000 square foot office building just
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Three-story property. Uh, and it's
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: there on Manhattan beach Boulevard being marketed through a competitive
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: bidding process.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: It's going to be an auction basically. Yeah, no, it's
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: going to be a bidding process.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: It won't be an auction. You put in this bid.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: They don't even know why they're selling it of sorts.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: We don't even know why they're selling it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: Uh, well, the property, I don't know that it's got their, uh,
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: an apparel store. I think it's their big old headquarters.
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: But it doesn't say, doesn't say, I don't know.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: It doesn't say, doesn't say. But the next story is
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: kind of interesting. It's close to home, Amy.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: Well, that's because your old home is Brazil.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: That is correct.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: And in a, what is being called a stunning political comeback,
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: Luis Inacio Lula da Salva has been elected president of Brazil.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: He got more than 51% of the vote, defeating Salva.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: Senator Flavio Bolsonaro.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: And since democracy was restored in 1989, no candidate who
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: failed to win the first round of voting has gone
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: on to win this presidency in the second round of voting.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: But he just did.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Lula just did. And this is his fourth go round.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: And he also did a few years in jail for corruption.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: But then he was elected president again for the fourth time.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: Time.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Because the Supreme Court overturned his conviction on a procedural vote. Now,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: a couple of things about Bolsonaro. He is the son
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: of the previous president of Brazil who declared himself, as
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: this Bolsonaro did, the Donald Trump of South America, of Brazil. OK,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: pretty right wing, as you can imagine, and a populist
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: and outrageous and with the stuff that he says, just
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: like our president. And much like our president, he has
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: not conceded. He said, I don't buy this vote at all.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: And so he says there's something wrong with the vote.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: He has already said he will seek to annul the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: vote because he lost. And we're not talking about 51
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: or 50.1% to 49.9%. You know, we're not talking about
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: a real close one. It was 48 to 51. I mean,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: it was enough of a lead to where there's no
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: doubt whatsoever. You can recount that one all you want.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: And so Wilson era said, nope, nope, nope.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Something wrong is terrible.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: The vote wasn't because I didn't win. The vote is
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: no good. And I do not accept the vote.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: What if the difference is like 20,000 votes? Then you
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: can argue recount, recount, recount.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I get that. Speaking of Trump.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a story where you have to give
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: the administration lots of kudos. Not the Brazilian Trump.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right.
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: So nearly one in three veterans relies on government health
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: care would benefit from psychedelic drugs like magic mushrooms, sorb.
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: So it is thought this is becoming more popular. The
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: thought of some of these mental issues being, you know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: micro dosing and all those things. But Trump administration moves
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: to treat many of the mentally ill veterans with these psychedelics.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: So good and good for Trump on doing this and
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: good for the administration because there's enough out there where
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: they should truly. And I think they're testing psychedelics as
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: well as MDMA to treat. And there's enough, evidence that
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: they should treat this. It's another way of treating veterans.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: And I think, you know, good for the Trump administration
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: because the Biden administration went the other way completely. I'm
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: going to give big kudos to the current administration for
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: Look at you.

• 32:16
  Speaker 2: of psychedelics.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: They did so well for you.

  Speaker 3: I love everybody.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: I hate that we didn't go through some of these
• 32:35
  Speaker 9: things together because it would have been your drug trips.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Well, no, I didn't ever, I have not done.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I've done everything. I was, I was a garbage can.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Anything you, I threw everything into me.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: You could. Okay, let's take a break. We're done with
