  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM 640, the Bill Handel Show
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Good Thursday morning to you, Neal Saavedra and the morning
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: crew here. So wait, so Amy, I was being spoken
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: through Kono.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were wrong.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, so the Dodgers are hosting the winner of the
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Braves Phillies. series, which should be decided today. The Padres
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: are going to play Milwaukee. The Padres beat the Cubs
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: last night. So they, in the wild cards, so they
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: advance now to the NLDS, but we're not playing them,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: but because it's all wonky, but because the Padres won,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers are going to play Saturday at one. If
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: the Cubs had won the series, the Dodgers would have
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: played at six o'clock on Saturday. So there's lots of
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: moving parts.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Go sports.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Go sports ball.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So Kono and I are in here, you know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: prepping the show, talking and heard Dodgers and he thought
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: you said something else. Oh, okay. And he's across from me.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: You just let me be wrong and hung me out
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: to dry.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: No, because technically it would have been me hanging myself
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: out to dry. We're just sitting here. And then we
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: confidently said what we said. And then he goes, wait,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: what'd she ask?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I thought you said, did the Padres win last night?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yes.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, they won.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Like both of us are having a conversation. And he goes, yeah.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: He goes, yeah. And I go, okay. So I pop
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: out and say, yeah. And then- After we do all that,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: we look at each other and he's like, wait a second,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: what was she asking?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was asking something different. But you know what?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Thank goodness for wake up call listeners because they lit
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: up the talk back and corrected me. So, yes, the
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Dodgers will be playing the winner of the Atlanta Braves
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: or Phillies series, which we should have a winner today.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: All righty. So good morning, Amy King.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, good morning.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Life is well, I assume.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm in my pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, October. Man, we're already there, aren't we?
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: October the once, as Handel would say. My favorite Handelism.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The once.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: The once.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And let's just check up on your mental health real quick.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: When was the last time you were at Disneyland?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I was there about two weeks ago.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Good for you. I know.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And I got to go back. I got to go
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: back because I love Halloween.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. From now on through New Year.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Wonderful.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: And then Christmas. Oh, my goodness.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Love it. It gets quite beautiful. That's to the point.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I was talking to a buddy of mine yesterday, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: he was really interested in my love of Disneyland. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we had this lovely talk as we strolled through the grounds,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the gorgeous grounds at the new Lucas Museum. And I
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: did something very luxurious. I don't do this. I've pretty
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: regimented as to what I do each day. And spent
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: from about 3 o'clock to about 9 o'clock there at
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the museum and on the grounds and having dinner at
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Skywalker Grill.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: With Simon Majumdar, a good dear friend of mine, great guy.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And it was fantastic. Lovely just to talk and hang
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: out on the grounds and to go into the museum
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and then have dinner there. And it really is stunning.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And we are super lucky to have it. And I
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: don't know, was it Seattle and maybe San Francisco that
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: turned it down originally or something?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were in the running for it.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: God, dummies.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I know because it's I mean, without even going inside,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: it looks cool. You're like, I got to get in there.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: It's really beautiful. I'll talk about that maybe later on.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: But it really is a thing of beauty. And surprisingly, surprisingly,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the food was good. You know, you don't know what
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to expect.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I have found that food and museums is generally very good.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And I've had a lot of it because we go
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and do out and about segments and then we usually
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: stay for lunch. And I'm like, oh, that's really good.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some there's some. Some good stuff out there,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: but you don't, you know, that's not its focus. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the menu is about as standard as you get nowadays.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: It is pretty basic in a lot of ways, but
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it was executed lovely. It was really actually quite nice. Okay.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And new Clay, how are you, sir?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I'm doing wonderful.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Still trying to figure you out, my little spud.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Try again tomorrow.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I look forward to it. Will, how are you, sir? Oh,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: good morning. I'm well. How are you? You woke me up. Sorry. Good.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I think we all need to get out of this
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: place and hang out sometime instead of being. Don't shake
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that off, Kona.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Beach day.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: He gave that a hard no. I don't know if
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: we need to go to the beach, brother. All right.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: We're friends. Yeah. Bye. It's your turn. Good morning, Neil.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Kono is producing today. Ann is out. Ann
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: did a lot of it, though. Yeah.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Ann did 99% of it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you and I had a full conversation about smoking.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: We were going to touch on that in the 8
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: o'clock hour. Yeah, powerful stuff. Coming back. So we produced today.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: It's coming back.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: It's coming back. It's coming back with a vengeance. All right.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Although this is not the lead story just yet. So
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: hold off on that. We should mention the Becerra and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Hilton debate in quotes last night.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: The one and only.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some back and forth, though. So it
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: was sort of a debate, whereas a lot of times
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it's just people rattling off their point in the next
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and so on. So I thought that it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Was good that CNN just sort of let him go.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, enough to where it wasn't annoying. It still felt
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: like they had control of the debate. Yeah. And it
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: wasn't like you didn't get a lot of that. But OK,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: if we can just if we can, you know, when
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you do that, it makes it more prominent that you
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: don't have control. Better to let somebody go on for
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a couple seconds and give a sort of retort and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: then pull it back. It just seems like it's more
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in control from the moderator rather than trying to interrupt
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: them interrupting someone else. That makes sense.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: We'll certainly talk about that coming up in the next hour.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: All right. Handle on the news. Lead story. Don't touch kids.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Don't marry kids. Don't get kids. Gov Newsom signs a
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: bill to end child marriage in California and let everybody go.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: You could do that. He signed in that you have
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to be 18 in California, minimum age for marriage and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: domestic partnerships. This is Assembly Bill 1267. And basically. There
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: is a lot of states that still don't have this
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: on the books in California.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Only 17 states ban marriage under 18.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny on both sides here, because you
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: get one side saying that someone 16 could change their gender,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you know, can get an abortion, all these things. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I say that not as abortion, but as a major
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: medical procedure, let's say it that way. But now they
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: can't get married or. It's, I mean, on both sides,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm just
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: saying it's really weird how we, same with the military,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you know, they can vote at 18. They can't drink,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: but they can go to far lands and fight. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we're worried about them coming home and then having a.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Pop.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But this is something, it's a no brainer. It's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: softball and he'll get credit for it, for doing the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: right thing. The backstory on this, though, with that couple,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you remember that guy who was in Green Line or
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: whatever that is.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Or the.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: What's that Tom Hanks movie about the prison?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: The Green Mile?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: The Green Mile.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, that was a good movie.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great movie.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Heartbreak.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Balls.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But the guy who was in there.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: There, he had a, uh, he married a 16 year
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: old and he was 50. Is that that guy? The Weasley,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the Weasley guard. That's how this started in, in Courtney Stodden, Stodden. Um, she,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: her parents basically allowed her at 16 to marry Doug Hutchins.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Who's that actor when she was 16 and he was 51.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: And that's not good.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: No.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So that is a bizarre situation. And she has been
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: an advocate and pushed a lot of this. So that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: what we get there.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Is L.A. projecting? Los Angeles has asked organizers of the
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: 2028 Summer Olympic Games to take out a $ 650 million
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: insurance policy and agree to cover any potential losses above
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: that amount if the games are canceled by a calamity.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Wow. Well, I guess... I mean, I guess you got
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: to be ready for problems. Back in marketing and promotions
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: days here at KFI, I think I would get, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: don't know, a million, $ 2 million coverage when we'd go
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: out and do stuff.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Just in case.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: And this is a much bigger thing than a radio
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: station event, right?
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we weren't hoping for it, but, you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: defecation occurs.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they say event cancellation policies protect the Olympic
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: hosts in the event of a natural disaster, terrorist threat,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: health emergency, or other unforeseen event that disrupts it. Like
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: health emergency, COVID. Didn't COVID cancel the Olympics?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Did it?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: They postponed them.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I forget so much about COVID. That was a
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: high drinking time for a lot of us.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: A lot of us.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, Will Kohlschreiber, are you there?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I'm here.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: 57 Freeway in Claremont. What the hell is that?
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: It's a truck that hit the guardrail there on the
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: northbound side as you try to go west on the
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: 210 from the 57 north.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Completely shut down. Debris all over the place. Big mess. Yeah,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: it looks like it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: And there are two fatal crashes on other freeways right now, too.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: It's a huge mess right now out there. Yikes, on
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: a Thursday. All right, buddy, thank you. Okay, four rescued,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: one missing after a Medifac helicopter crashes off Catalina Island.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And what a, you know, I guess because we're still
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: a little raw from the NBC4 helicopter going down, that
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: these new stories stack up when we hear about them.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: But so four of the people were rescued. One person
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: still is missing. as they crashed this medevac helicopter there
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the aircraft was departing the island when the crash occurred
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: around 7 40 p.m just after takeoff did i'm looking
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to see if it took off from that i mean
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that's because it's a helicopter i'm wondering if it's taking
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: off off that uh the Air pad there, that tiny
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: little airstrip that they have at the top of Catalina.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Have you ever landed there, Amy?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I've never been to Catalina.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: What?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I think Anne and I were just talking about that.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: We need to go over to Catalina.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Beautiful place.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm going to take a boat.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Nice scuba diving, too.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I love scuba diving.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Nice snorkeling and scuba diving and stuff like that out there.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Pretty area. Not a lot to do, but it's beautiful.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: To see and to travel around.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, it just has this really, really scary airport
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: at the very top because it's the tiniest little runway.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Of course, that's not going to matter.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: There was a plane crash there not too long ago.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, get out there to Catalina, for Pete's sake.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Governor Newsome is helping save newsrooms. Listen to this. The
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: governor signed a landmark bill to give a financial boost
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: to California's struggling newsrooms. We got to give this to
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: the managers.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I guess so.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: It would create refundable tax credits for California local news
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: organizations based on the number of journalists they employ. Let's see.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: It works by assigning a job retention credit of $ 20, 000
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: per journalist for up to five positions and after that
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: $ 15, 000 for every additional journalist employed. So they're paying.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about this. I mean,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: is if. Why?
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Well, because newsrooms are getting gutted.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: And I guess this is a free press thing. OK.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: This is his play to get the newsrooms to like him.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. It is weird about it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, he just signed it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: It was passed by the legislature.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I get it. But to what end? I mean, there's
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of dying industries or industries that are under duress.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Why that one? Good lobbyists? Yeah, maybe so.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Maybe?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe so.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: All right. Democrats block a bill restricting lawmakers from trading stocks. Please.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: There's the... The filth that goes on and the open
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: doors that we allow for politicians to get even filthier
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: is ridiculous. So Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked a bill
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: sponsored by GOP incumbent Pete Ricketts, what a name, to
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: restrict members of Congress from buying new stocks of publicly
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: traded companies, arguing that legislation didn't go far enough to
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: crack down on possible corruption. And the Democrats blocked that.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Pelosi said, no, no. You don't let anybody. They said,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: but you don't you're not a boss of us.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: That's my that's my post. No, I'm kidding. Josh, one more, Amy, please.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Got to get the power on. Senators from both parties
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: say they've reached a deal on legislation that would speed
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: up permitting reviews for new energy and infrastructure projects. It
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: would cut down the arduous timeline for getting big energy
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: projects off the ground. Of course, this comes at a
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: time when demand is through the roof because of data
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: centers for artificial intelligence being built all over the place.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: This bill would ensure that AI data centers, though, are
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: forced to pay for the increased electricity that they use.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: So that's good that we're not going to have to
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: pay for it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I'll take that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I'll take whatever I don't have to pay for. $ 108.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Fill up my tank the other day. $ 108.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: How much did you pay? Do you remember what the
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: price was? Mine was $ 659 yesterday.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, carry the one. I don't know. It was up there.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It was, it might've been $ 670 something. Not $ 670, you dope.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: New clay. I'm just trying to figure you out.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I'm the youngest person here. Uh, And I want to
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: make sure you remember that.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Six, seven. Young people don't even do six, seven anymore.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: I did that to a 13-year-old the other day, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: he flamed me for it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And rightly so. Totally. Hey, do you have his number?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe he can come in and run the board.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: No.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: All right. Trump is breaking his silence. Donald Trump defended
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: a series of taxpayer-funded television ads. There's nothing worse than
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: seeing a television ad from your president, and then at
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: the bottom it says, paid for. By us. The administration
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: has spent millions of dollars producing and airing over the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: last week. So these they're saying that it's promoting the
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: country and not Trump. Isn't that funny when Trump comes
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: out and says, it's not promoting me. I don't even
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: like promoting me.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Did you see this? What's that? He's going, it's not
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: a campaign ad. It's not a political ad.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Right. But it was.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: He used a campaign ad from two years ago.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: So what did we pay for? Ad spots?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Each ad ends with... The caption, paid for by the U.S. government,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: which is us. Yeah, an odd thing, to say the least.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Well, now they can seal the deal. Paramount is officially
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: over its last hurdle in its efforts to merge with
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Warner Brothers Discovery. A California judge approved the studio's settlement
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: with California and 11 other states. So it's free to
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: move forward with the $ 111 billion takeover. The settlement also
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: orders the company to release at least 30 films a
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: year and invest over a billion dollars in U.S. film
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: production and training for its workers. It could be approved
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: on October 6th.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: They should have put good in there. Got to make
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: 30 good films, release 30 good films.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: What if they just start cranking out crap?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're just going to put crap out now.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: That one counts, right? Yeah.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: So what if it was filmed on my iPhone?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be, I'd rather see that in many cases.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: All right. So we talked yesterday about the attacker in
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: that fly Dubai flight to Israel that just by, you know,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I was going to say by the hair of their
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: chinny chin chin, but that didn't seem Right. But genuinely,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: that flight was in dire straits. And it looks like
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: it most probably would have been, they were not far,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: minutes maybe away from Israel itself, that they could have
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: crashed this down in Israel.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I believe they had crossed into Jordanian airspace.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is, you know.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Just a hop, skip and a jump away.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: It's interesting. I've been to Jordan. It's gorgeous. It's absolutely
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: just a beautiful, beautiful place. And the people were really kind.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: But I've been from Israel to Jordan, which is pretty
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: interesting flying. And the plane kind of changes its name,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I think, if I remember correctly. It's pretty bizarre. But yeah,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: they're right next door.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: The identity- And the motive of the Omani co-pilot who
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: stabbed his captain. on the flight to Israel and caused
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the plane to plummet. We heard that yesterday. Amy, you
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: talked about that a lot. It went from like 33,000
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: feet to 17,000 or 14,000 feet within a short amount
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: of time.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in less than two minutes, it dived. And If
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: it had not been for a plumber who watched a
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: TV show, they probably all would have died. A plumber
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: got into the cockpit and pulled the stick back, the
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: controls back, and pulled it out of the plunge.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: And he saw that in a TV show?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: He goes, I learned how to do it on a
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: TV show. I can't remember which one it was, but
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: he said that's how he got the idea. They did
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: have pilots on board, and then the pilots came in
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: after that. They were off-duty. They came in and landed
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: the plane, but he's the one who apparently stopped the
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: plane from plunging into the earth.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: So even, you know, this time that has passed, I mean,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: they must know who he is, but we've got no
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: motive that they're releasing yet. And they're not releasing the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: attacker's identity at this point, right?
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Just that he is from Oman. He was the co-pilot
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: and I believe he'd been working for... Fly Dubai for
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: about a year. It wasn't a very long time. Benjamin Netanyahu,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: the prime minister of Israel, is saying this morning that
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the suspect in the plane stabbing underwent Islamist radical indoctrination.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: But didn't give any details, so we don't know if
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: he knows something more or what. We're still waiting to
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: find out.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want the word radical or indoctrination anywhere near
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: somebody who's flying a plane. Or driving a bus.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Or driving a car.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Scary stuff.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You know, people say, you know, oh, Muslim terrorist. I'm
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: not afraid of the Muslim part. It's the terrorist part
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: that bothers me. I don't want that anywhere near. You know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: because if it's Christian terrorist, a Jewish terror, it's really
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the terrorist part bothers me the most.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Looks like there's a method to the madness.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Understand it. But, you know, during that six week trial
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: for Lindsay Clancy, she's the woman who basically admitted to
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: killing her three children, but said it was because of
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: postpartum psychosis. Well, now her lawyer is arguing that she
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: should be found not guilty of murder. Because there's no
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: proof that she killed them.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: So did she admit to it?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: She admitted.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I haven't heard her say that. But
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: now he's saying she doesn't have a recollection of it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Or maybe she has said that she doesn't have a
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: recollection of it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that she didn't remember what took place.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Apparently. She doesn't remember strangling her three children to death
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: one by one.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: That's even scarier. I got to imagine that sticks with you.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: I have compassion and empathy that if, you know, I'm
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: not a woman, I don't know what goes on with
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the body. I can't speak to that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: And I don't have kids, so I don't know about this.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: But I will say this. You got to have some
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: compassion to somebody who apparently had told people around them, hey,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: I'm having this crazy ideation, these thoughts of harming the
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: children and, you know.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is tragic all the way around.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So there's got to be some place in there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Although her life is, what's she going to do? Become
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: a realtor or something afterwards? I mean, even if.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: She's not convicted, I believe she stays in some sort
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: of a mental institution because she'd be found not guilty
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: by reason of insanity. And she also threw herself out
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: a window. She's paralyzed. It's just horrific all the way around.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: So the U.S. Defense Secretary or Isn't he the Secretary
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: of War? What is it good for? Pete Hegseth. He's
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: confirmed plans to cut 20% of generals and admirals and
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: declared no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps. That sounds like a,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like a T-shirt for a surfboard company
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: from the 80s. It's like, yeah, locals only, also no beardos, weirdos,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: or wimps. He says he wouldn't be tolerated inside, any
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: of those would be tolerated inside the country's military. Listen,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: running it high and tight, I'm fine with. You want
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: certain people to, you know, certain type of person to
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: But it almost becomes comedy. So the defense secretary, the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: secretary of war, pointed out that those on board the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: USS Abraham Lincoln follow following concern over mental health and
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: supply issues on the aircraft carrier, which was deployed for
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: almost nine months, by the way, about 80 percent of
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the force on board was retained. So I guess those
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: that didn't retain. are beardos, weirdos, and wimps is the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: implication there.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: In-laws in jail and in trouble. This is a weird story.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Out of Dublin, California, a couple has been charged with
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: murder after authorities say they shot their son-in-law to death.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: It happened over the weekend at a sports complex parking
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: lot in Dublin. Jonathan McKenzie, who was a gaming engineer
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: for the New York Times, was shot In the parking
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: lot by his in-laws, who are both 77 years old.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: They made a brief court appearance yesterday, and then they're
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: supposed to be back in court again today. But prosecutors
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: say that the dad, the father-in-law, admitted to shooting Mackenzie Green.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: During an interview and another weapon was found in the car,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: he admitted that that was used in the shooting. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: it's all over this divorce that the couple is going
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: through that's been going on for a while and the
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: battle over the couple's three young children. And it looks
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: like both sides have filed restraining orders against each other.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Both have accused the other of physical, emotional, emotional and
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: psychological abuse going back more than a decade.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this is super confusing because was McKenzie transitioning
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: or had transitioned? McKenzie, the man who was shot, is transgender.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: So he was a woman and now a man? Or
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: because he had a beard?
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: A gender transition he underwent years ago, so.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: So were they a lesbian? I don't know. I'm serious.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I'm confused. Because it and maybe what? I don't know.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I'm confused, but I thought that the wife, the mother-in-law
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: had taken a couple of pops, too.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: OK, Jonathan McKenzie. Transitioned from a woman to a man
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: in 2010.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: So were they a lesbian couple?
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: No, because now he wait. Yeah, but transition from a
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: woman to a man.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: So he would be a man.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: But did they get married?
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, were they married?
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: A woman. Carry the one.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Married.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Or don't carry the one that's the case.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Transitioned. 2010.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Transitioned.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, so he was a man.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Which was before they were married.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Before they were married.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: So how did they have children?
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of ways to have children. That's
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: the least of the concern in this situation.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Well, they're fighting over the three kids, though, so they
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: must have adopted them.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: No, they could have done... Surrogacy. Yeah, surrogacy. They could
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: have done all kinds of things.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Right, but he can't be the biological father.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Seems that way.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: No, but they both could be the... Well, maybe not.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Let's move on. My brain hurts. Tennessee governor halts executions
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: after Krista Gayle Pike survives lethal injection. I.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: They said she was snoring after two doses. Two doses.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: How do they get this wrong? We have a weird
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: definition of cruel and unusual punishment. I think if somebody
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: does something cruel and unusual, then I don't understand how
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: you can consider how we take care of them. Or
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: shuffle off their mortal coil. But it says that she
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: was found loudly snoring after the attempt. I don't know
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: what she did, but you got to let.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Her go now.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: No, you don't. No, you don't.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: She tanked two lethal injections.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: She has a high tolerance for drugs?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'll Google what she did and change my mind.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: She killed a classmate and etched a pentagram into her forehead.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Well, that's not good.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I believe there was torture involved.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, well.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: It's unsavory. Ah.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I guess I take it back.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I just don't know how they get it wrong.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: At that point, if she's snoring, she's asleep. Can't you
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: just pop her in the head? Just one.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: 22.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Not very loud.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Well, and here, just saying. They put, they euthanize hundreds
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: of dogs a day, right? I don't think they have
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: these issues. I don't understand why it's such an issue
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: with executing people.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I realize that they are humans.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying whether I agree with it or.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Don't agree with it. Yeah, but you do at some
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: point go, I don't know. You take out the trash.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be normal. Why pay for them
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: to have three hots and a cot at the Graybar
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Hotel every single day?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Well, because it's more expensive for people on death row.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: to be housed than the general population.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: So it's efficiency. I just, we have no problem killing
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the innocent, but killing the guilty is a problem, apparently.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: So let's put that away.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, we'll talk. We'll break down a little bit of
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: that there debate last night. And I did that in
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: air quotes. So go nowhere. Neil Saavedra in the morning crew.
