- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
- 0:04Speaker 1: AM six forty.
- 0:12Speaker 2: And if peace does break out, it'll be another argument
- 0:14Speaker 2: for no longer the Nobel Peace Prize. It will be
- 0:17Speaker 2: renamed the Trump Peace Prize, of which he will be
- 0:19Speaker 2: the first recipient. By the way, on his face on
- 0:22Speaker 2: the call on the coin, yeah, yeah, exactly. And now
- 0:26Speaker 2: handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's Bill Handle
- 0:37Speaker 2: handle morning crew. As we now start a Taco Tuesday,
- 0:43Speaker 2: October the seventh.
- 0:45Speaker 3: It's not only Taco Tuesday, it's National Taco Day.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Oh so it's a combination. One becomes a I wouldn't
- 0:53Speaker 2: say a holiday, a registered How do they describe that
- 1:00Speaker 2: because it's not a holiday, it's not a national They
- 1:05Speaker 2: actually are two different kinds of days. One Congress declares it,
- 1:10Speaker 2: which is why we have hundreds of days. If you
- 1:12Speaker 2: look at what October seventh is not only National Taco Day,
- 1:18Speaker 2: but if you look at what else it is, there
- 1:20Speaker 2: are dozens and dozens National Hamburger Day, National Parvo Day,
- 1:27Speaker 2: you know, National Pancreatic Cancer Day. It's just there's days
- 1:32Speaker 2: and days and days. So what are the other days?
- 1:36Speaker 2: By the way, do you have the list of that,
- 1:38Speaker 2: by the Incidentally.
- 1:39Speaker 4: All the food days are all food days. There's probably
- 1:43Speaker 4: seven of them today.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I'm sure there are literally are dozens. So
- 1:47Speaker 2: there's two kinds. There are the kinds that are legitimately
- 1:51Speaker 2: and they have to be voted in by Congress, which
- 1:54Speaker 2: of course is on the consent calendar. Someone just throws
- 1:56Speaker 2: that up there and everybody says yes. Then there are
- 2:00Speaker 2: days that are manufactured. I was once doing a commercial
- 2:04Speaker 2: for a company and they sold a product, I think
- 2:08Speaker 2: it was Will's or whatever, and it was National Will Day, right,
- 2:13Speaker 2: And I said, really, National Will Day? And who came
- 2:17Speaker 2: up with that one? All we did? And did Congress
- 2:21Speaker 2: ever say ny about? No? No, we just sort of
- 2:23Speaker 2: made it up. So those are the different ones. National
- 2:26Speaker 2: Hamburger Day, which also is national. There's a National Cheeseburger Day,
- 2:32Speaker 2: which is different than National Hamburger Day. Indeed, there's National
- 2:37Speaker 2: Cheeseburger done Animal Style Day, double double.
- 2:41Speaker 4: And where was the cheeseburger invented? Pasadena?
- 2:47Speaker 2: The cheeseburger was invented Pasadena.
- 2:49Speaker 4: I think so by a young kid.
- 2:53Speaker 2: You're telling me that ground beef, which has been around forever.
- 2:58Speaker 2: And then a piece of cheese on it. A kid
- 3:01Speaker 2: invented that in Pasadena and what eight a D.
- 3:05Speaker 4: No, it's actually not that that long ago. But yeah,
- 3:10Speaker 4: somebody said, put it, put it, Put a slice of
- 3:12Speaker 4: cheese on that bad boy, and then and then the
- 3:15Speaker 4: heavens opened.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And so sounds a little bit out there, you know,
- 3:20Speaker 2: it's a sort of urban MYTHI.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Ish, I'm the fing fork reporter. You better have some
- 3:26Speaker 4: respect anyway, Morning Neil, good morning, Willie Wolf.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Good morning, and then aiming morning, good morning Bill. It's

- 3:53Speaker 2: not ls No.

- 3:58Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is. What is in
- 4:00Speaker 2: her beauty? Explain that to me?
- 4:03Speaker 3: Okay, how about this one you matter to me day?

- 5:30Speaker 2: How long have you been? How long have you been
- 5:31Speaker 2: with KFI? By the way, because I have, frankly no
- 5:34Speaker 2: idea who you are.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Well, that's okay, I kind of know who you are, though. Unfortunately,
- 5:39Speaker 1: no I'm kidding. Really unfortunately, I worked with you, as
- 5:43Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday before in the mid nineties and then
- 5:46Speaker 1: was off KFI.
- 5:47Speaker 4: For a while. A long while, and then.
- 5:49Speaker 1: I came back to the station a couple of years ago.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Now, why would you do that?
- 5:53Speaker 1: I wasn't my decision the radio gods, let's put it
- 5:56Speaker 1: that way. I was just working on other stations in
- 5:59Speaker 1: and around Lost Angelis and then came back to kf
- 6:01Speaker 1: I two years ago. Oh that's wonderful. Welcome aboard. That
- 6:05Speaker 1: sounds sincere.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we have it's National BNA hole Day.
- 6:15Speaker 2: It's not that is my celebration. All right, guys, let's do.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Asshole gift.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Okay, it's time for Handle on the News with Amy
- 6:28Speaker 2: Neil and me lead story. Closing time. Airports all over
- 6:34Speaker 2: the country have shut down because the lack of staffing
- 6:37Speaker 2: control tower employees UH and air traffic controllers. The big
- 6:43Speaker 2: one is Hollywood Bird Bank. That's the one that's being covered.
- 6:46Speaker 2: A shut down Hollywood Bird Bank completely, no flights in,
- 6:50Speaker 2: no flights out. And uh Hollywood b Bank, which is
- 6:53Speaker 2: right around the corner from us. They said that uh
- 6:58Speaker 2: oh the tower was closed was due to UH staffing.
- 7:01Speaker 2: According to an audio recording.
- 7:03Speaker 3: They they had no air traffic controllers there. They had
- 7:07Speaker 3: somebody out of San Diego, three act. Let me get
- 7:10Speaker 3: the name of that out of San Diego was handling
- 7:13Speaker 3: the air traffic control. So there were some cancelations and
- 7:16Speaker 3: there were some delays, but it didn't it didn't close.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just looking at a story CNN where, uh,
- 7:22Speaker 2: there was one of the pilots I was radioing air
- 7:28Speaker 2: traffic control tower and according to an audio received by
- 7:31Speaker 2: Live atc dot Net that CNN's reporting, the recording said
- 7:38Speaker 2: the tower is closed due to staffing. Okay, towers closed,
- 7:41Speaker 2: got ya? And uh, all right.
- 7:43Speaker 4: From what I actually as a pilot, I just I can't.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Hi towers closed. So I think they have a flight
- 7:49Speaker 2: rules when there are no air traffic controllers. I've been
- 7:52Speaker 2: on airplanes and landed at airports where there were no
- 7:55Speaker 2: air traffic controllers, and there's a whole procedure that you
- 7:58Speaker 2: have to do.
- 7:59Speaker 4: So the left turn is the arm out the window.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Pretty much pretty much. I mean, wow, it's just crazy.
- 8:08Speaker 2: It's coming back. But this is this government shut down.
- 8:12Speaker 2: We're going to talk a lot more about that because
- 8:13Speaker 2: it's starting to really hit home. And then coming up
- 8:17Speaker 2: at seven, I'm gonna explain exactly what is at State
- 8:22Speaker 2: because it's not what you really think it is. It
- 8:25Speaker 2: isn't that simple. And I'll explain that at seven twenty.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Moving on doing.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Whatever it takes, President Trump said he would consider invoking
- 8:34Speaker 3: the Insurrection Act to send military into cities if courts
- 8:39Speaker 3: block his deployment of National Guard troops. As we know,
- 8:43Speaker 3: a judge on Saturday said no, you can't send troops
- 8:46Speaker 3: into Portland from the Oregon National Guard, and then expanded that.
- 8:51Speaker 3: When Trump tried to end around it and send California
- 8:54Speaker 3: National Guard troops, the judge said, no, you can't send
- 8:56Speaker 3: any troops from anywhere. So he said, so far it
- 9:00Speaker 3: hasn't been necessary, but we do have an Insurrection Act
- 9:02Speaker 3: for a reason. He would enacted if he had to.
- 9:05Speaker 3: It's been invoked thirty times in American history, giving the
- 9:08Speaker 3: president power to deploy US armed services to suppress rebellions
- 9:13Speaker 3: and civil unrest.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Now legitimately it was used to suppress rebellion and civil unrest,
- 9:20Speaker 2: last one being nineteen ninety two, when Governor Pete Wilson
- 9:25Speaker 2: asked the President to come in with federal troops because
- 9:29Speaker 2: of the riots, the Rodney King riots that certainly looked
- 9:32Speaker 2: like an insurrection to me, certainly looked like a riot.
- 9:36Speaker 2: He is now talking about coming in because of what's
- 9:41Speaker 2: happening locally in Portland, what's happening in Chicago, and he's
- 9:45Speaker 2: deeming that an insurrection, a rebellion against the United States.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Court's going to shut that one down too, And I
- 9:53Speaker 2: guarantee you, I guarantee you that's not going to be upheld.
- 9:56Speaker 4: You don't find any irony at all that Donald Trump
- 10:01Speaker 4: is talking about enacting an insurrection. Nothing January sixth, nothing.
- 10:08Speaker 2: No, that wasn't an insurrection. That was a peaceful demonstration.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Why everybody, That's why everybody was pardoned.
- 10:14Speaker 4: Still to this day, I think is one of the
- 10:18Speaker 4: biggest black eyes on American history. But you know, keep
- 10:23Speaker 4: in mind, we could use those words in that but.
- 10:25Speaker 2: If there was, if there was, let's say there was
- 10:28Speaker 2: a riot. Let me give you an example. Okay, it's
- 10:31Speaker 2: maybe hyperbolic, and I don't know how far fetched it is.
- 10:35Speaker 2: As we go to twenty twenty eight, let's say, and
- 10:37Speaker 2: this is not Trump doing this, Let's say there is
- 10:39Speaker 2: a genuine movement to extend another term to Donald Trump.
- 10:45Speaker 2: And by the way, I don't doubt this may happen
- 10:47Speaker 2: because there are fanatic Trump followers and now there are
- 10:53Speaker 2: legitimate riots in the streets because of his that he
- 10:58Speaker 2: will not be able to run whatever. Would that be
- 11:00Speaker 2: an insurrection? Never, that is upholding the constitution. That's the problem.
- 11:07Speaker 2: What those people did on January sixth is upheld the
- 11:09Speaker 2: Constitution of the United States. There's a difference. Yeah, it's
- 11:15Speaker 2: it's beyond irony. It is scary, is what it is.
- 11:20Speaker 2: And we'll see if this it's going to go to
- 11:22Speaker 2: the Supreme Court, if he does invoke the Insurrection Act,
- 11:24Speaker 2: and we'll see. I can't I can't imagine the court
- 11:27Speaker 2: allowing him just to say it's an insurrection and it
- 11:31Speaker 2: doesn't matter what it is. He has the power to
- 11:33Speaker 2: say this is an insurrection. Uh. The police chief in
- 11:38Speaker 2: Portland said, when you talk about the quote the riots
- 11:40Speaker 2: in Portland, it's one street, it's encompassed in one major
- 11:47Speaker 2: city block, and that is an insurrection.
- 11:51Speaker 4: Do you think he misspoke and he met intersection? Yeah?
- 11:56Speaker 4: All right, all right, fight fight, fight, fight, fight, you've
- 11:59Speaker 4: got tausman. Majordy Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat, just yesterday was
- 12:05Speaker 4: challenging Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican to a debate. He says,
- 12:10Speaker 4: let's let's get this out in the open. Let's debate
- 12:13Speaker 4: the government shut down. Let's do it on the floor
- 12:16Speaker 4: of the Lower Chamber. And he also requested primetime, nationally
- 12:21Speaker 4: televised debate. So let's talk about this government shutdown. Let's
- 12:26Speaker 4: say you know, we're approaching a week. Let's let's get
- 12:32Speaker 4: into it.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Yep. And I'm going to get into it at seven
- 12:35Speaker 2: twenty because usually this would be an easy one to answer,
- 12:40Speaker 2: continuing resolution until we figure out what we're going to
- 12:43Speaker 2: do with the budget, let's just keep on going the
- 12:45Speaker 2: way it is, easy peasy, boy. This one has a
- 12:48Speaker 2: lot more pieces and both sides are right, both sides
- 12:52Speaker 2: are wrong, and a little bit of history too. I'm
- 12:55Speaker 2: going to dive into at seven.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Wouldn't you be interested in watching a debate between the
- 13:00Speaker 3: two of them, because I'm seeing Jeffries is talking and
- 13:03Speaker 3: saying one thing, Johnson is talking saying a complete opposite.
- 13:06Speaker 3: They're both I mean, they're looking at the same picture
- 13:10Speaker 3: and have two different takeaways from it. I would love
- 13:12Speaker 3: to see them go back and forth on it and
- 13:14Speaker 3: see because I don't know what's in the what is it?
- 13:18Speaker 3: You know?
- 13:19Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'll explain it at seven twenty. There is
- 13:21Speaker 2: it is to it. But what I'd like to do
- 13:23Speaker 2: is not just see them go at it in terms
- 13:25Speaker 2: of a debate. I'd like to see him in a fistfight.
- 13:28Speaker 2: Oh one of those I vote for Jeffries, you know,
- 13:33Speaker 2: knocking a crap out of Johnson.
- 13:37Speaker 4: You'd hit a guy with glasses.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, especially if he was smaller than me
- 13:43Speaker 2: and half a wimp, which I think Johnson is. And
- 13:48Speaker 2: I get the feeling that Jeffries is. We know, I
- 13:53Speaker 2: don't know the background of Hakem Jeffries and he grow up,
- 13:57Speaker 2: you know, fighting in the hood or where where he
- 14:00Speaker 2: came from. Did he come from a wealthy family in
- 14:02Speaker 2: the middle class family. I don't know. It depends on
- 14:06Speaker 2: you know, where people come from. A lot of African
- 14:07Speaker 2: American You know, a lot of African Americans come from
- 14:10Speaker 2: the hood. And if you look at statistically, did Mike
- 14:13Speaker 2: Johnson or the Hakim Jeffreys And by the way, that
- 14:16Speaker 2: is just statistics talking, So leave me alone.
- 14:19Speaker 4: Just a quick question. When you get pulled over and
- 14:22Speaker 4: the cop says, put your hands on the hood, do
- 14:23Speaker 4: you put it on the one in the car, the
- 14:25Speaker 4: one on your head? You put it on the hood
- 14:29Speaker 4: up in the air.
- 14:30Speaker 2: You envision a hood three feet above you, and you
- 14:34Speaker 2: grab for that hood is what you do.
- 14:36Speaker 4: It's okay, grand dragon, go ahead, all right, moving on.
- 14:40Speaker 5: He grew up in Brooklyn. Maybe they can fight on
- 14:43Speaker 5: the White House lawn for the UFC eightieth birthdays. Good idea,
- 14:51Speaker 5: h Gallaene's not getting out for now. The Supreme Court
- 14:55Speaker 5: has rejected an appeal from Gallaine Maxwell. She's, of course
- 14:59Speaker 5: the woman survey twenty year sentence. She used to be
- 15:02Speaker 5: tied closely to Jeffrey Epstein. The justices declined to take
- 15:07Speaker 5: up the case.
- 15:09Speaker 3: She had argued that she should have never been tried
- 15:11Speaker 3: or convicted for helping to lure teenage girls in to
- 15:14Speaker 3: be sexually abused by Epstein because of immunity granted to him.
- 15:18Speaker 3: But she's got a twenty year prison term. She was
- 15:21Speaker 3: moved to a low security prison after she was interviewed
- 15:24Speaker 3: by Deputy Attorney General.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Here's the question, is Trump going to pardon her? He
- 15:30Speaker 2: is equivocal about that. He's asked over and over again.
- 15:33Speaker 2: He goes, I don't know. I have to look at it. Now.
- 15:36Speaker 2: We do know. After the conversation with the Deputy Attorney General,
- 15:40Speaker 2: she was moved from a medium security prison to a
- 15:44Speaker 2: prison camp. And that is almost that never happens with
- 15:50Speaker 2: convicted child molesters.
- 15:53Speaker 4: And they gave her some poison, a gun with one bullet,
- 15:57Speaker 4: a rope.
- 15:58Speaker 2: No, not quit your cell, not quite all right?
- 16:03Speaker 4: Trump talking about the government shut down, he says he's
- 16:07Speaker 4: open to some talks. Just kind of crack the door open,
- 16:10Speaker 4: ever so slightly. He says, we have negotiations going on
- 16:13Speaker 4: right now with the Democrats that could lead to very
- 16:16Speaker 4: good things. But and he said this was in regard
- 16:21Speaker 4: to healthcare in particular. But he said, really, we've got
- 16:25Speaker 4: to open the government first.
- 16:27Speaker 2: And then yeah, so he shut the door again, open
- 16:29Speaker 2: and then shut, and then just a little bit of
- 16:33Speaker 2: l like totally yeah, but it's shut down. It really is.
- 16:35Speaker 2: He's back to the republican position. He is a Republican
- 16:40Speaker 2: and we're going to talk more. Not only is a
- 16:42Speaker 2: part of it about health care. It's all about health care.
- 16:46Speaker 2: And again, I keep on pushing seven twenty will be
- 16:50Speaker 2: the topic when I cover.
- 16:51Speaker 3: This doctor or doc. The new acting director of US
- 16:58Speaker 3: Centers for Disease Control and Prevent has announced changes to
- 17:02Speaker 3: recommendation vaccine schedules for adults when it comes to COVID
- 17:07Speaker 3: nineteen and for kids when it comes to chicken pox.
- 17:10Speaker 3: For adults, it's saying the decision on whether you should
- 17:13Speaker 3: get the vaccine should be based on your individual based
- 17:17Speaker 3: decision making in consult and consultation with a doctor. The
- 17:21Speaker 3: CDC has officially lifted its recommendation that adults under sixty
- 17:25Speaker 3: five get the vaccine.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all over the place. It's just crazy, you
- 17:29Speaker 2: know it changes. Did anybody see us the sixty minute
- 17:33Speaker 2: piece this past Sunday. There is a store all vaccinety.
- 17:38Speaker 2: There is a vaccine story, and I think we should
- 17:42Speaker 2: do it. There's something called vaccine Court that the government has.
- 17:46Speaker 2: It's legitimately vaccine court. And these are people that have
- 17:52Speaker 2: reacted to vaccines negatively and they're not suing the manufacture
- 17:57Speaker 2: of the vaccine. What they're doing is going into vaccine court.
- 18:01Speaker 2: It's like a no fault like workers comp no fault
- 18:06Speaker 2: like the City of California. It's you go in front
- 18:09Speaker 2: of administrative judge and did it happen, did it not happen?
- 18:12Speaker 2: Was it at work? Was it not work? And then
- 18:15Speaker 2: there is the statutory money that you get and we
- 18:19Speaker 2: have to do it because it is fascinating as to
- 18:22Speaker 2: how that works. Literally vaccine court. I was looking at this,
- 18:26Speaker 2: I went, wow, that's impressive. That's kind of interesting. We're
- 18:30Speaker 2: going to end up doing that.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Okay, all right, So it's price of parking when you
- 18:35Speaker 4: can find it in Los Angeles is going up. Meter
- 18:39Speaker 4: prices will jump by fifty cents per hour for the
- 18:43Speaker 4: city's thirty five thousand paid spaces, so the new cost
- 18:47Speaker 4: is expected to be in effect by the end of
- 18:50Speaker 4: this month, and the Department of Transportation says the current
- 18:55Speaker 4: prices range from a buck to eight point fifty per hour,
- 18:58Speaker 4: depending on the location. But it was passed by the
- 19:01Speaker 4: city council. Yeah, why not horrible, but I still just
- 19:06Speaker 4: a pain.
- 19:07Speaker 2: You know. It hasn't been raised in ten years, so
- 19:10Speaker 2: it's time prices now, I didn't know this. Meter prices
- 19:16Speaker 2: in general are going to go at fifty cents an hour, okay,
- 19:19Speaker 2: not the end of the not the end of the world.
- 19:22Speaker 2: So currently they're a dollar to eight fifty per hour.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Where do you pay eight dollars and fifty cents an
- 19:28Speaker 2: hour for parking on the street on a meter?
- 19:32Speaker 4: No, all over the place?
- 19:34Speaker 2: Oh seriously, eight fifty an hour on a parking meter.
- 19:38Speaker 4: Yeah, you use your credit card, your debit.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Well, obviously you're using a credit card. I mean, let's
- 19:43Speaker 2: say you're buying two hours. Are you going to put
- 19:44Speaker 2: in sixteen dollars seventeen dollars in quarters?
- 19:47Speaker 4: Well, see, that's the crazy thing, is like when you
- 19:50Speaker 4: only need a small amount. Nobody has quarters anymore because
- 19:54Speaker 4: everything's well over a dollar to park.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't have any quarters. I use them
- 20:00Speaker 2: all at strip clubs.
- 20:04Speaker 4: Jeez, they're all the dancers are ow ow, mister handelepleet
- 20:07Speaker 4: ow right now, Moving.
- 20:11Speaker 3: On surprise, another lawsuit against Trump and Illinois and Chicago
- 20:18Speaker 3: both filed suit to block the deployment of the National
- 20:21Speaker 3: Guard to Chicago. The lawsuit says it needs the temporary
- 20:27Speaker 3: restraining order because deployment would cause additional unrest and mistrust
- 20:31Speaker 3: of police and would harm the state's economy. Now, a
- 20:34Speaker 3: judge declined to issue that temporary restraining order yesterday afternoon,
- 20:39Speaker 3: and troops are on their way.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Yeah, and they'll hear it. I mean, the court will
- 20:42Speaker 2: hear it. But this is a judge, and this unusual.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Usually a judge would halt this pending a determination on
- 20:51Speaker 2: the facts went the other way. This is both the
- 20:53Speaker 2: state and the city are suing to stop the deployment,
- 20:58Speaker 2: but the deployment has amy. Just that is happening.
- 21:04Speaker 4: All right. Back in twenty twenty, if you remember, the
- 21:06Speaker 4: high profile position in the opinion section of the New
- 21:12Speaker 4: York Times was held by Bari Weiss, and they left
- 21:18Speaker 4: because of bullying. And she said that her colleagues and
- 21:22Speaker 4: it was a hostile work environment and all those things. Well,
- 21:25Speaker 4: she started the Free Press. It's been around for about
- 21:29Speaker 4: four years, a digital news platform, and it's been purchased
- 21:34Speaker 4: by Paramount. And so now she is going to be
- 21:36Speaker 4: the editor in chief of CBS News, they announced yesterday,
- 21:41Speaker 4: and they're going to try and scratch back, you know,
- 21:46Speaker 4: at a true journalistic editorial standards.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Tadah, Yeah, I mean, are you know back do you
- 21:57Speaker 2: remember four years ago Barry Weiss or Bari Weiss. Of
- 22:01Speaker 2: course we all remember who barr Weiss was.
- 22:04Speaker 3: Who's barr Weiss?
- 22:05Speaker 2: Who the hell knows?
- 22:08Speaker 4: Well, she's gonna build journalistic standards, mister, Oh yeah.
- 22:14Speaker 3: More officials doubling up under Trump. Social Security Administration Commissioner
- 22:19Speaker 3: Frank bissig Nano will also take on the newly and
- 22:25Speaker 3: just applauded me on that will take on the newly
- 22:27Speaker 3: created role of Chief Executive Officer of the Internal Revenue Service.
- 22:32Speaker 3: So Bisignano was the CEO of the payment's multinational FI
- 22:37Speaker 3: Serve before being confirmed as the head of Social Security
- 22:40Speaker 3: in May. So he's going to double up and then
- 22:43Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is going to stay the acting
- 22:48Speaker 3: Commissioner of the IRS.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Did the Trump lenitization cut funding to the IRS? I'm
- 22:56Speaker 2: trying to think yes.
- 22:58Speaker 3: During the doze stuff.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which I've always wondered why the i r
- 23:04Speaker 2: S isn't so fully funded because it makes money for
- 23:08Speaker 2: the government. It is the the government's collector of tax money,
- 23:15Speaker 2: and you'd want to increase its ability to collect tax
- 23:18Speaker 2: as opposed to decrease.
- 23:21Speaker 4: Yeah. I can't remember, but it feels I think so.
- 23:24Speaker 2: I think I think funding for the i r S
- 23:26Speaker 2: was cut if I'm not mistaken, and I could be
- 23:29Speaker 2: wrong on that. So when the when the emails come,
- 23:33Speaker 2: Oh Ann is looking this up right now, and while
- 23:36Speaker 2: we're waiting, Dude.
- 23:37Speaker 3: I'm going to wait till answer it, because I thought
- 23:40Speaker 3: that they cut the funding that was added by the
- 23:42Speaker 3: last ad.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Minute that could be. That could be, And I don't
- 23:44Speaker 2: know the answer. And Ann is coming up with the
- 23:46Speaker 2: answer right now, and she is going to tell us. Yeah, no,
- 23:52Speaker 2: he has not. Okay, yeah, that was a question. All right,
- 23:55Speaker 2: he has not. He has not cut the fund this
- 23:59Speaker 2: went around. Huh no, not this time around.
- 24:02Speaker 5: It says former President Donald Trump oversaw a period of
- 24:05Speaker 5: chronic underfunding for the IRS during his presidency.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Right, well, I don't know what that means. Saw a
- 24:11Speaker 2: period of underfunding? Was that put in by the Biden administration?
- 24:14Speaker 2: I don't think so.
- 24:15Speaker 4: All right, guys, the bomb?
- 24:20Speaker 2: What I did?
- 24:21Speaker 4: Clever clever girl. Hey, if you remember the senior member
- 24:25Speaker 4: of LA Mayor Bass, Karen Bass, her staff was just
- 24:31Speaker 4: sentenced to a year of probation and fifty hours of
- 24:35Speaker 4: community service. Why calling in a fake bomb threat? He
- 24:40Speaker 4: told the judge it stemmed from mental health issues, And yeah, what.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Else are gonna they throw that at the judge? No
- 24:48Speaker 2: matter what, no matter what, it's either abused as a
- 24:52Speaker 2: child or mental health issues. It's never It was stupid
- 24:58Speaker 2: and rotten, and I was I decided I was going
- 25:01Speaker 2: to be in an a hole.
- 25:02Speaker 4: He is Brian Williams, Black Bill, do you want to
- 25:06Speaker 4: maybe reference whether he grew grew up in the ghetto.
- 25:09Speaker 2: And you know, I have to tell you, I'm never mind.
- 25:14Speaker 2: I want to go there, and I'm sure we're gonna
- 25:15Speaker 2: get emails.
- 25:16Speaker 4: And it's like, it's weird you have two sets of teeth,
- 25:20Speaker 4: two lips, and only one tone. Yet it still gets
- 25:23Speaker 4: out it it still gets past those things.
- 25:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know. So by the way, it's
- 25:29Speaker 2: I'd love to know if what I said was true.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Just by the way, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
- 25:36Speaker 2: repeat that because it's said I'm gonna get hassle, mainly
- 25:39Speaker 2: from Neil. All right, moving on something fishy.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Law enforcement are saying, uh, so far, it doesn't look
- 25:49Speaker 3: like this fire was intentionally set. But a fire engulfed
- 25:53Speaker 3: the home of a state judge and a former Democratic
- 25:56Speaker 3: state senator in South Carolina. It happened and on Saturday,
- 26:01Speaker 3: three people had to go to the hospital. Property record
- 26:03Speaker 3: show the home is owned by Circuit Court judge Diane
- 26:06Speaker 3: Goodstein and her husband, Arnold Goodstein, a former Democratic state senator.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Did you see the video of this house on fire?
- 26:14Speaker 2: Fully evolved? I mean it looked like it was in
- 26:17Speaker 2: a movie.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Like Gone with a wind.
- 26:20Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really impressive, just to say the least.
- 26:23Speaker 2: And they're saying it's probably not Arson. Everybody assumed it
- 26:26Speaker 2: was Arson because here.
- 26:28Speaker 4: Is a time it was.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and also the assumption now it's Arson. Yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 2: assumption is I make certain assumptions.
- 26:40Speaker 4: I won't mention them, but yes, we do assume. So
- 26:45Speaker 4: family members of Celesti Revas Hernandez. She's the fourteen year
- 26:49Speaker 4: old girl that was found dismembered in the trunk of
- 26:53Speaker 4: that impounded tesla owned by that multi platinum R and
- 26:58Speaker 4: B singer David This still captures a lot of people's
- 27:02Speaker 4: curiosity because there has been no direction as to what's
- 27:07Speaker 4: going on with this. It was but you know, you
- 27:11Speaker 4: think back she was so that she's like fourteen or
- 27:15Speaker 4: fifteen or whatever is she now, but she was thirteen
- 27:19Speaker 4: when she went missing.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Yeah, and they found her because she was in that
- 27:25Speaker 2: car his tesla, and she had been there for a while.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Decomposing him is horrific, and I think he moved out.
- 27:33Speaker 2: So he moved out. He's gone from that property and
- 27:37Speaker 2: there was a lease there and I'm sure there's going
- 27:38Speaker 2: to be all kinds of LEAs, all kinds of legal
- 27:42Speaker 2: issues there. He has not been connected to that at at.
- 27:45Speaker 3: This point, West.
- 27:47Speaker 2: And it doesn't look like it.
- 27:48Speaker 3: What you don't think he's connected to it somehow.
- 27:52Speaker 2: I don't think they have connected him, I said. He
- 27:54Speaker 2: has not yet been connected From what we're hearing.
- 27:57Speaker 3: He is said to be cooperating with investigators.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Okay, and do we get in rap from what I
- 28:05Speaker 2: understand and his name D four VD. It's a big
- 28:10Speaker 2: fan of of ven aial disease clearly in Okay, moving on.
- 28:17Speaker 3: Finally, the trial is starting more than four years after
- 28:22Speaker 3: the family of deceased Angels pitcher Tyler Skag filed their
- 28:26Speaker 3: wrongful death lawsuit against the Angels. Jury selections getting underway.
- 28:30Speaker 3: Skag's widow, Carly and his parents are seeking at least
- 28:36Speaker 3: two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings and damages.
- 28:39Speaker 3: They contend that the Angels were responsible for the death
- 28:42Speaker 3: of the twenty seven year old left handed pitcher. It
- 28:45Speaker 3: happened back on July first of twenty nineteen. He snorted
- 28:49Speaker 3: some crushed pills that had fentanyl in them in a
- 28:51Speaker 3: hotel room during a team road trip in Texas.
- 28:54Speaker 2: They're asking and there's a real issue because it was
- 28:59Speaker 2: who was it on the team that gave him the drugs?
- 29:03Speaker 3: The communication director.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Yeah, And the allegation is the team knew about it,
- 29:08Speaker 2: management knew that it was happening. So that's that's the problem.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Obviously for the team he's asking for or they're asking
- 29:19Speaker 2: for two hundred and ten million dollars in lost earnings
- 29:22Speaker 2: and damages. Now you have a twenty seven year old
- 29:25Speaker 2: picture and you're asking two hundred and what ten million dollars?
- 29:30Speaker 2: How I'm just doing the math here. How long would
- 29:33Speaker 2: the average twenty seven year old picture last in the
- 29:35Speaker 2: major leagues? Maybe another four years? And I don't know
- 29:39Speaker 2: what he was making. I'm sure he wasn't making forty
- 29:43Speaker 2: million dollars a year, So the numbers always are huge
- 29:50Speaker 2: in a pre trial hearing. Now the plaintiffs are asking
- 29:54Speaker 2: for a billion dollars, but this is what lawyers do
- 29:58Speaker 2: in any case. It is a horrific story. He snorted
- 30:01Speaker 2: crush pills in a hotel room in Texas on during
- 30:07Speaker 2: a game.
- 30:08Speaker 3: He was making three point seven million a year.
- 30:10Speaker 2: It certainly isn't a billion dollars in damages, But then
- 30:14Speaker 2: you also have the wrongful death aspect of it. Too
