  Speaker 1: the show anymore. And I can understand that. It's uh,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it's happened before on this show where people
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: had just said, you know, I'm done. Usually it's not

• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that was the case. So anyway, Oliver, a welcome aboard.

• 1:23
  Speaker 1: condition where your eyes are droopy.

• 4:21
  Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Well, we are certainly going to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: cover what happened yesterday in Minneapolis and just a few
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: blocks less than a mile away from the shooting of
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: George Floyd several years ago Minneapolis is Boy, has that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: gotten the attention of the rest of the country. Okay,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: let's do it. It's time for handle on the news.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Amy Neil is not here. He's back next week and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: me lead story.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Been around for long long.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Music connects. What am I missing here? Oliver? You have
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to explain that to me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I I'm just I'm just forget a slug.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I like, just for now, just okay, just all right,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just okay. I mean, by the way, I'm not not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: giving you too much grief because I understand they just
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: threw you into this, but little I'm just gonna you
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: know what was that about? Okay, fair enough, because I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: always harassed Kono for that sort of thing. All right.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So the lead story, of course, is what happened yesterday
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: when an Ice officer killed this Minneapolis woman. It was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: during the latest immigration crackdown, and men are there is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: there controversy there because you look at the video from
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: many different angles, and there are it can't be the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: same person and the same incident. It can't why because
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: one group of people say, look at that she was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: trying to get away, the other group of people saying,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: look at that she was trying to hit the officer.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So she's at an suv, she is blocking the road,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: partially blocking the road, and during this demonstration, and a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: couple of Ice Policeman officers are in a pickup truck
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: drive up to her and you see her with another
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: car waving the other car through. There was enough space
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to get through, it looks like. And then you see
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the two Ice officials coming up to her, one grabbing
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the handle of the car and I understand that it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: was the window was down, and then she is she
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: backs up and then starts moving forward. There was an
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: officer near that. Now whether the argument here is was
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: she gunning for that officer or was she trying to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: get away from that officer? Looking at it, it looks
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to me. And by the way, this is a question
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: of interpretation, because in the end it'll be an investigation
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and quite possibly a jury's going to have to make
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the determination. It looked to me like she was trying
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to get away. And but I will tell you that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: An officer was standing in her way.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: That's I not even know vehicle, and she was if
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you look at the way, yes, but if you look
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: at the way she was turning the wheel and trying
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to move in a direction, well, again it's a question
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of interpretation. Was she gunning for the cop? It didn't
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: look like it to me, or was it?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Did he just happen to be there?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Well, he was there, I mean, because they were moving
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: towards the car. There were no cops there, There were
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: no officers there. I mean, they went ahead and moved
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: towards her, and then the shots rang out, and of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: course it was you know, the whole thing blew up
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and it has since then. And the well, I tell you,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the most interesting part of This is Christy Nome, who
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: immediately a Department of she's the czar of Department of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security. She's running and so she immediately got on
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the air, I mean literally within a couple of hours
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and said that the cops were justified that this woman
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: tried to run the police officer over, attempted to kill
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the police officer, that she was a professional agitator. You know,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't think there was anything a professional agitator or
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: she talked about professional agitators that were there. I didn't think.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You know, where do you go? I actually looked it
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: up amy a professional agitator. There is such a thing.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Charles State Northridge. Yeah, offers a degree in agitation. They
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: do not, and it's certified. You can be. And if
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you go to Indeed, look under the word agitation and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you will see people saying professional certified agitator will work
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: by the hour, half day, full day, reasonable prices for agitation.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I could do that, No, but you're not certified. That's problem.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: You don't have my certification. By the way, there's a certificate,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: there's a certification, and then there's a degree. And I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: think you may be able to get a graduate degree
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in agitation. I don't know. I love it. Yeah, that's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: your professional agitator. It's interesting how she can label her
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that without knowing anything about the I know they made that,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: instead of saying, hey, we have to do an investigation. Uh.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Even those that are on the other side of the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: coin who say it looks like this, but we have
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to investigate it.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I think both sides came out too quickly.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I agree, but let me give you the other side,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and they are they ended if we ended it with
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: we have to do an investigation. Christin Homes said nothing
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: about investigation. The decision was made self defense. It's over.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Are we going to see the FBI even investigate this?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I don't even know. I would hope, I think there.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Tom Holman said he wants to see an investigation.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Well, Tom Homan works for Christino.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: So and he said, let's do an investigation.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Right, and we'll see which way it goes. As I said,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I hope that there's an investigation. Truly, it's interesting how
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: she can label her that without knowing anything about the sea.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I know they made that instead of saying, hey, we
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: have to do an investigation. Even those that are on
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, who say it looks
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: like this, but we have to investigate it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I think both sides came out too quickly.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I agree, but let me give you the other side,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and they they ended if we ended it with we
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: have to do an investigation. Christinome said nothing about investigation.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: The decision was made self defense. It's over. Are we
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: going to see the FBI even investigate this? I don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: even know.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I would hope, I think there. Tom Holman said he
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: wants to see an investigation.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. Uh. Well, Tom Homan works for Christino.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: So and he said, let's do an investigation, right.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And we'll see which way it goes. As I said,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I hope that there's an investigation. Truly. I'll tell you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the most controversial part of this I'm going to cover
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that at seven o'clock, of course, was that stetson that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Christinam was wearing that cowboy hat when she was in
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: front of the cameras. You didn't like that, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a little bit strange for the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: head of a cabinet secretary to be wearing a I'd
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: rather I'd rather see a football helmet. Frankly, when doing
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: one of those press conferences. All right, moving on more
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: handle on the news with Amy and Me.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: The US continues to pull back. Trump administration says is
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: going to withdraw from dozens of international organizations, announcing yesterday
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: that they would be suspending support for sixty six organizations
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: following the administration's review of participation in and funding for
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: international organizations, including those affiliated with the UN. Many of
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: those UN related agencies, commissions, and advisory panels focus on climate, labor, migration,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: and other issues. The administration is categorized as catering to
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: diversity and woke initiatives.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Right, So this is a double hit. Not only is
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: it a question of woke, it's also a continuation of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the president's philosophy of non intervention. We don't want to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: get involved in foreign organizations or foreign wars except when
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: we do. But this is part and parcel, and there's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: no surprise here. I mean it would if it's perfectly
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: logical if you look at where the Trump administration is going.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't know why people are shocked this is happening.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Marco's going to make the case to take Greenland. The
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Secretary of State, Marco Rubio is going to meet with
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: leaders of Denmark next week. The US Secretary of State
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: told reporters that President Trump retains the option to address
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: his objective of taking control of Greenland by military means,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: but he says still, as a diplomat, which is what
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I am now and what we work on, we always
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: prefer to settle it in different ways.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Now this is dumb. It is on the administration's part.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: This makes no sense. Denmark is our Greenland, and Denmark
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Denmark owning Greenland, that Greenland is a basically territory of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Denmark is one of the staunchest American allies. There has
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: never been an issue where America didn't want a base
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that it couldn't get will Greenland will give the United
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: States virtually everything at once, and had thirty one bases
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: there and US shut down thirty of them. There's this
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: thing about owning Greenland. It belongs to us. We want
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to annex it that people are having a hard time with,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and here it goes. Denmark has said we're not for sale.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing is I think Rubio's going in
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the end, We're gonna buy Denmark. We're gonna buy Greenland
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: from Denmark. No, it's not for sale. How much you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: charge for that anyway? And then the issue of can
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you imagine an invasion of Greenland? Fifty six thousand people
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: live in Greenland and what kind of a force do
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you bring to overrun Greenland? Now? How big is their army?
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred? I don't know, two thousand. This is absolutely fascinating.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, we have bought territories before. Did you
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: know that? It's not as the United States has not
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: bought pieces of property. Alaska was bought. A check was
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: written to Russia for Alaska that was seven and a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: half million dollars. Fifteen million dollars paid for the Louisiana
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: purchase in eighteen oh five.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Who do we buy that from?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: France? And the Napoleon sold it to the United States? Coulse,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: you needed the money. He was involved in all the wars,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and you know what are they going to do at
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that point? And it doubled the land mass of the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: US at that time. Both bought so there's some precedent here.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: The problem is people have to want to sell it.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Russia wanted to sell Alaska. France wanted to sell that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: area of the Louisiana where the Louisiana purchased and it
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: went all the way up was a Texas at that point.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I don't even know the parameters there, but it was huge,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: double the land mass. Okay, moving on.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Flipping the food pyramid, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: has announced new dietary guidelines focused on promoting whole foods, proteins,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: and healthy fats. At a news conference yesterday, he said,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: eat real food. The administration unveiled its new food pyramid
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: has red meat, cheese, vegetables, fruits all up at the top,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: and grains down at the bottom.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Yep. Although you know, I believe in this because I
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: eat a lot of burritos frozen burritos, and grains are
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: part of the burrito wrapping, you know, the tortilla part
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and meat inside. So I'm a big fan of this.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I think the big push was to not do as
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: many processed foods and sugars and that kind of stuff.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: That's what they talked about a lot.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I just ignored that part.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Because you like the sugar and the processed foods.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Oh how do you live without sugar and process foods?
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Okay? There you go. A rather unexpected turn of events.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Nick Reiner, the son of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: who were murdered last month at their home in Brentwood,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: was supposed to be a rain yesterday, and so they
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: go to court and then his high profile criminal defense lawyer,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Alan Jackson said, I'm out. He has taken himself off
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: the case. He said he had no choice but to
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: step down of counsel of record, and then outside the
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: courthouse after the hearing, Jackson said his team wished Nick
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Rener the very very best moving forward and insisted that
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: his former client in the state of California is not
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: guilty if murdered. So he's got a public defender now instead.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you that he has public defender,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Because in order to get a public defender, you have
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to be destitute, you have to have no money. And
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: so clearly the way I look at it, there wasn't
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: enough money to pay him. I mean guys like Alan
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Jackson who are known now These are seven eight, nine
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars an hour lawyers, and it takes and the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: retainers are enormous. So he's gone and he doesn't say why.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: By the way, he doesn't have to say because the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: client isn't paying, he goes your honor. We just have
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a conflict and I no longer am able to represent
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: my client. And the judge says, okay, you're gone.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Well we know that. Well we don't know, no, But
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: I would guess that Nick Rener doesn't have any money,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: but the Rob Reiners estate probably does, so maybe the
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: kids put the stop to paying him. Speculation, speculation, I
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And whether he had access to the money at all,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: which my guess is no. And who has access to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that money, Well, it'd probably be someone in an accounting
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: firm or the rest of the family, or there had
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to be a trust that it will written. In any case,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: we'll probably find out a whole lot more about that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Is this thing pans out continuing with more handle on
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the news, Amy Neil is not here back on Monday and.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Me, Yeah, Russia is not happy with us. The US
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: military seized a Russian flagged oil tanker in the North
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Atlantic yesterday. The ship, called the below One, was boarded
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: by US forces in a joint operation with the UK's
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: military around seven am Eastern time. It was sailing under
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: a Russian flag in international waters between Scotland and Iceland.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Russia's Transport ministry said no state has the right to
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: use force against vessels duly registered in the jurisdiction of
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: other states. This apparently had Venezuelan oil on it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now this gets kind of interesting because it wasn't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a Russian ship. It became a Russian ship after it
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: was being chased by the United States primarily. And this
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: is sanctioned oil. I mean straight out there. It is
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: under international and certainly American sanctions. So this is what
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: is this number three that the US has picked up
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in terms of the tankers I believe oil. Yeah, so, yeah,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, there's not a whole lot of
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think there is a whole big argument that
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Russia has. But you know there's the flag. They painted
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: the Russian flag on the side of the boat. You
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: know that out came the paint rushing. They just got
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: out the cans and that's exactly what they doubt, that's
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: exactly what they did.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: More kids in class. The University of California has enrolled
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: a record number of Californians. For the fall of twenty
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: twenty five, more than three hundred one thousand students went
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: to one of UC's ten campuses. In the fall, that's
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: the largest number in history, an increase year over year
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: of sixteen hundred and eighty six students and continuing a
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: long term trend, new female undergrads outnumbered the males twenty
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: eight thousand, three hundred and one to twenty two thousand
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: and seven forty seven.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: And blacks and Native Americans gone down.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I wonder why that is.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You know, it can argue cultural. I mean, I don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: think you know, oh hey there's a Native American gone.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's the case. But I think it's
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: pretty complicated stuff. It has to do with socioeconomic issues,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: it has to do with cultural issues. It's you know,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: we don't have the time to deal with it here.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: You know, growing up, for example, if you're growing up
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and a white family that has money and you've had tutors,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: you have a much bigger better chance of getting into
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: a good school than if you come up from the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: inner city and you're working at fourteen, and you know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: you don't see your mom because she's there, or your
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: dad's not around, your mom's working three jobs. You come
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: from different places, not just one issue.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because the number of Latino, Native, Hawaiian and Pacific
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Islander students was also up. Well, California is losing millions,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: hundreds of millions. The state was set to revoke seventeen
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: thousand commercial driver licenses issued to immigrants by January fifth,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: but instead the state extended that deadline because there's a
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: threat of a civil class action lawsuit by immigrant rights groups.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: So they said, now, we're not going to do it
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: by Monday. Well, the federal government said, yeah, do it
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: by Monday, and they didn't. And because California missed that deadline,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: federal officials have announced that they're withholding one hundred and
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: sixty million dollars in transportation funds to the state, you know.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: And I have a question about this because where do
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the Feds get jurisdiction on this. I mean, if I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: remember back in law school, you know, under the Commerce Clause,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: they can do anything they want. But the only argument
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: is truck drivers go over state lines, therefore we control
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and so I guess that works. But this is a
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: typical I mean, you're going to see this fight continuing
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: on and on and on during this or any Republican
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: administration versus California. That is the poster child of the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: national infighting, and so no surprise there at absolutely none.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Potholes are popping up all over La. After days of
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: heavy rain comes the potholes opening up across the city.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Number of drivers have reported what they're calling sudden impacts,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: including a guy named Giuseppe de Morey. He said he
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: was driving to the farmers market Friday night. He heard
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: a loud thump, blew out a tire and his rim.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: He said, he hit a pothole. Didn't see it. It
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: was dark, the roadway's black, it's black at night. Street
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: is black, and he hit it. And these repairs are
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: a bit spendy, like for fixing the tires three hundred
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: and two about one thousand dollars. Oh yeah, ending all
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: the rim and everything.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, suspension. Now, when I owned the Persian Palace, I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: never had to worry about potholes, and because well, first
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of all, there was one major street going into my
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: neighborhood and that's the one that got potted up. And
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: within literally forty minutes after the rain stopped, they fixed
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the potholes.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Why they are pretty quick about getting them, especially see them.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Especially in my neighborhood. Because the council person who represented
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the district was in my neighborhood. And let me tell
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you how quickly potholes are repaired.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Uh, maybe a solution in sight. A bipartisan coalition in
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the House is voted to push forward measure to revive
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: and enhanced pandemic eras subsidy that lowered health insurance costs
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: for about twenty two million people in America. The vote
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: was two twenty one to two h five. It was
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: a key test before the bill gets passed, which is
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: expected to happen today. Four GOP lawmakers joined with the
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Democrats to sign that discharge petition. They did that last month.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: That's going to force the vote. The four who joined
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: in with the Democrats said doing nothing is not an
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: option as many of their constituents are facing soaring health
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: insurance premiums.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, the speaker can stop a vote from going
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to the floor straight out. I'm not going to bring
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a vote on the floor. It's got that power. That's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: what the discharge petition is about, is to go around
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the speaker very rarely as it used. And Mike Johnson
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is fighting this thing. Crazy. There are You've got most
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of the Republicans are against the situation of the subsidies.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: And I have not yet heard about the increase of
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: insurance rates. I don't know. They are up, and they're
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: up dramatically, but I haven't seen the pushback yet of
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: these rates because it was I'm.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Wondering if that's because people haven't gotten their bills yet.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I think that may be because when people get their bills,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and also they're looking at their health insurance and the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: premiums have tripled or doubled. Yeah, and the Republics are
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: going to get nailed on this if they don't allow
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to allow the extension for a period of time.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine they wouldn't. But you know, I've been
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: wrong before, like every day, like most of the time
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: when I opened my.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Mouth, Oliver, did you get that on tape?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And okay, yeah, and certainly when I broadcast Handle
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: on the Law Head.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Into the Hills to find a new candidate for mayor.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Reality star Spencer Pratt, who used to be on the Hills,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: has launched a campaign for mayor of Los Angeles. He
• 25:56

• 26:01

• 26:05

• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know who he is, and I don't know
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the television show.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Well he's He's actually been on with h I think
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: with John a couple of times. Pretty interesting guy. But
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: he just said he's fed up with everything that's happened
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: since the fires. Again, he lost his home and he
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: wants he wants to see change. He says he's going
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: to be Mayorbess's worst nightmare.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, I hope, So, I don't care who it is.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Uh, Mike Tariko is going to be super, super busy.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: His network, NBC has the broadcast rights to two of
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: the biggest events on the sports calendar, and he's going
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: to have major roles in both. He is going to
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: be hosted the Super Bowl and Olympic coverage on the
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: same day, Sunday, February eighth.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Now, how do you do that?
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I don't know. But he's going to be doing play
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: by play at the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, and
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: then once the game is over and the Lombardi Trophy
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: is presented, he's gonna shift into Olympics mode and Hope
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: hosts the prime time in Milan from the field because
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: that's when the Winter Olympics get underway.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, so he's obviously not going to make it
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to Milan in time to host it.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: No, he does such a good job.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Guys, he's a great broadcaster. I like him a lot,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and he's really good.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's Girl Scout cookie time. Apparently this year there's
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: a new flavor called Explore Moores, a Rocky Road ice
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: cream inspired cookie sandwich filled with chocolate, marshmallow and toasted
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: all my cream.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Actually sounds good. Sound It could be coyingly sweet. It
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: could be way too sweet, but I think it may
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: sound good if they unsweetened it for a bit, right
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: or bring it down.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do love a good thin mint. So these
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: locals Girl Scouts are going to start taking orders. It
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: says Tuesday, and is that last Tuesday. In person delivery
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: and booth scale sales are scheduled to start on February first,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: so you'll be seeing them outside the grocery store.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You know, there used to be boxes sold at KFI.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: A few people would you know, have girls and would
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: sell boxes. Now i'd buy them from KFI.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't unless the kid came.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: In Oh, Okay, I never thought of it.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: I know that the parents did it because there was
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of pressure on the kids to sell those.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Cookies, huge pressure.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: And I always said, if you come in, bring the
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: kid in and have them sell the cookies to me,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: because that was part of the d is. They were
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: learning how to communicate and learning how to sale. I'd
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: buy all of them.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to brag, yes, but I was top
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: cookie sales girl in my troop.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: I don't doubt that for a second hand.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Wow, So would you sholl that thin mint's smoans? Those
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: are very bigs.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: Oh but yeah, no, I sold a ton.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: I have a patch to prove it. Do you still
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: have it? Oh? Yeah? And did your daughter Danica do
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: girl Scouts? And she did brownies and that was it
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: and she was done. Yeah.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Well, I get brownies when I was a cup scalp,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: but not in quite the same way that. Let's just
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: move on, okay.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Preservation can be deadly. Common preservatives used to keep food
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: safe and extend shelf life maybe linked to a higher
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: risk of several cancers and type two diabetes. According to
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: new studies from France. These are preservatives found in French
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: and European markets, but also in the US. That's scary.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Well, everything gives you cancer. Everything. The only thing that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't give you cancer, it seems, is cancer. Other than that,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: everything you eat, drink, participate in bathe in is cancer, causing.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Astronauts Mike Finkey and Zena Cardman going to have to
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: wait a little longer to step outside the space station.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: They were scheduled to do a six and a half
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: hour spacewalk to take photos and do some projects outside
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: the International Space Station today. It would have been the
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: first operation outside the space station this year, but that
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: got scrapped. Apparently somebody on board has a medical condition.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when we find out what it is,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to bet that is fear of heights that
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: this astronaut is going to get nailed with. They don't
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: tell us what it is. People throw up a lot.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: You know what is about half the people get.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: The on the space station?
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: They do yeah, I mean yeah, when they go, there's
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a huge number that gets sick. There's a space a
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: weightless sickness they have. I think it's called weightless sickness.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Technical yes, yes, I think we're done guys. Yep, that's it.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: We are finished. Coming up of course, the story that
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: happened yesterday, and that was the ICE agent shooting fatally
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: shooting a woman at a at an event, if you will.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: It was an ICE immigration raid and she was there
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and she either was someone who went after an ICE agent,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: tried to kill him, run him over, or someone who
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: was in a cit and tried to drive away. And
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about what happened. You've been listening to The
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Bill Handle Show. Catch My Show Monday through Friday, six
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: am to nine am, and any time on demand on
