Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I
- 0:04Speaker 1: am six forty.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Germany stood up to Europe, I Russia Putin will stand
- 0:16Speaker 2: up to NATO, and NATO's probably getta cave. That's the
- 0:20Speaker 2: way I view it. A bunch of horses, Europeans, the French,
- 0:25Speaker 2: a bunch of surrender monkeys, okay, And Kono is the
- 0:29Speaker 2: only one that laughs at my stuff. So Kono, you're
- 0:31Speaker 2: going to be here next week, and.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
- 0:44Speaker 2: And good warning everybody, it's Taco Tuesday, February tenth as
- 0:50Speaker 2: we start the morning show. By the way, Kono, just
- 0:53Speaker 2: to let you know, in reference to the statement the
- 0:57Speaker 2: surrender monkeys, actually it is borrowed from a phrase of
- 1:01Speaker 2: a congress person who referred to the French as sheese
- 1:05Speaker 2: aiding surrender monkeys. And I thought that was the perfect
- 1:11Speaker 2: description of the French. I don't know if you've seen
- 1:15Speaker 2: the French flag. Originally it was just white, and that
- 1:21Speaker 2: was right during the war, and then some French government decided,
- 1:24Speaker 2: oh no, we don't want it to be white. Also,
- 1:27Speaker 2: when their army marches, it's the only army in the
- 1:30Speaker 2: world that marches backwards. Okay, enough of that with the French, right.
- 1:39Speaker 2: I told you the first time I went to France,
- 1:42Speaker 2: I did it with my ex girlfriend, ex girlfriend. It
- 1:44Speaker 2: was French Canadian and I had her teach me several
- 1:47Speaker 2: phrases like your mother was a collaborator during the war,
- 1:50Speaker 2: wasn't she? And when the Hitler marched down the Shampsta
- 1:55Speaker 2: these a your family had these little Nazi flags, didn't they.
- 2:00Speaker 2: I don't know if you look at if you look
- 2:02Speaker 2: at the several of the French people actually waving a
- 2:06Speaker 2: little Nazi flags, you know, the way you see people
- 2:10Speaker 2: who with that. Anyway, Good morning everybody. Uh, it's Tuesday.
- 2:15Speaker 2: We have a fair amount of news to cover.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Uh.
- 2:18Speaker 2: The latest on the Nancy Uh. I just forget Guthrie
- 2:27Speaker 2: uh story. We'll talk about that. My mind is already
- 2:29Speaker 2: going way ahead. How unusual, you know. I was talking
- 2:32Speaker 2: to other members, particularly KNO yesterday, Uh, and I think
- 2:36Speaker 2: and and unfortunately I speak before. My brain processes a
- 2:42Speaker 2: lot of stuff and I just tend on blurting it
- 2:47Speaker 2: out that when my partner save my friend and my
- 2:51Speaker 2: one of my one of my best friends, because I
- 2:53Speaker 2: pretend that Neil is also a best friend.
- 2:56Speaker 4: Anyway, best friend, that's fine, sa.
- 2:59Speaker 2: He he has a horrible disease called scleroroderma, and scleroderma
- 3:06Speaker 2: is a terminal disease in which the organs harden and
- 3:09Speaker 2: you die from it. I mean, the prognosis is it's
- 3:11Speaker 2: death and the basically the survival rate after diagnosed with
- 3:18Speaker 2: scleroderma is five years and then you die. Well, he's
- 3:21Speaker 2: into his ninth year and he has beat the odds
- 3:24Speaker 2: and he's doing just flying. But when he finally told
- 3:27Speaker 2: me that he had scleroroderma and I'm aware of the
- 3:31Speaker 2: disease with the hardening of the organs, the first thing
- 3:35Speaker 2: I blurted out, so we get to play hockey with
- 3:37Speaker 2: your kidneys, right? And then I realized that wasn't a
- 3:41Speaker 2: really good thing to say. And on top of that,
- 3:44Speaker 2: because the skin tightens, and if he doesn't exercise constantly,
- 3:50Speaker 2: his fingers sort of curl up and can't extend. You
- 3:55Speaker 2: see that with very severe arthritic people when it becomes clawlike.
- 4:02Speaker 2: And I also immediately invited him to play a game
- 4:05Speaker 2: of rock paper scissors, because you cannot lose with someone
- 4:09Speaker 2: who cannot move their fingers. You know that don't you
- 4:12Speaker 2: all right? Good morning, Kno, good morning, Good morning, Neil.
- 4:18Speaker 5: You're a short stint at Hallmark writing for cards. Yeah,
- 4:23Speaker 5: good morning, Yeah, good morning. And Will Colesriber, good morning,
- 4:28Speaker 5: Good morning Bill.
- 4:29Speaker 3: And so if it tightens the skin, he probably has
- 4:32Speaker 3: no wrinkles, certainly not.
- 4:35Speaker 2: In his hands. He's affected physically. It's affected his hands
- 4:39Speaker 2: more than anything else. The rest of them. He's just
- 4:42Speaker 2: doing fine.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Oh, he looks great. He's a handsome guy, and he
- 4:45Speaker 4: looks great.
- 4:47Speaker 2: He has the best head of hair of anybody I've
- 4:48Speaker 2: ever seen male wise and Amy, good morning, and thanks
- 4:54Speaker 2: for sharing your story, by the way of what's medically
- 4:58Speaker 2: going on with you, and it's really important, which is
- 4:59Speaker 2: one of the the reasons that we put up the
- 5:03Speaker 2: results of my colonoscopy. And yeah, there are photos of mine.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Keeping in mind that the inside of everybody's colon looks
- 5:14Speaker 2: like a Japanese paper Landard.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Just that's actually a pretty good explosion.
- 5:20Speaker 2: It actually is true, just in time for the lunar
- 5:23Speaker 2: New year. Yeah, and any case, thank you for sharing that.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Because people they don't normally get colonoscopies at an age
- 5:34Speaker 2: where they should, and the medical world is bringing down
- 5:38Speaker 2: the age for a baseline very quickly, as they should,
- 5:44Speaker 2: and so I went, Yeah, I went into I did
- 5:47Speaker 2: my third colonosopy. I'm almost out of my coupon book.
- 5:51Speaker 2: But it's I assume your last one.
- 5:55Speaker 3: You were clear correct, there's no there's no bad stuff,
- 6:01Speaker 3: but I still there, there were still polyps. So I'm
- 6:04Speaker 3: on the three year plan. If there's anything going on,
- 6:06Speaker 3: then you have to come back more than once every
- 6:09Speaker 3: ten years.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I had. I had tiny little polyps, two of
- 6:14Speaker 2: them that were removed.
- 6:15Speaker 3: So you're on the five year plan.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I'm on the ten year plan.
- 6:17Speaker 3: Now, oh you're on the tenure.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm on the ten yure.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Hew.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Also, the doctor found graffiti inside my car.
- 6:25Speaker 6: How that subway, you know, for a phone number, and
- 6:30Speaker 6: that somehow I it referred to Amy for a good
- 6:33Speaker 6: time with Amy called puppet. Yeah, our guys, it is
- 6:40Speaker 6: time for a handle on the news with Amy.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Good news that she's here. Unlike Catherine Kathy O'Hara. No, no,
- 6:51Speaker 2: I'm saying. I'm saying, unlike Kathy O'Hara, who unfortunately died
- 6:55Speaker 2: of colorectal cancer. It is hugely unfortunate. That was not
- 6:59Speaker 2: a joke.
- 7:00Speaker 3: That was she died of an embolism, but.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Yeah, that resulted from her coorectal cancer. I think Farah
- 7:07Speaker 2: Fawcett also died of co erectal cancer, as did who
- 7:15Speaker 2: else newsperson.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Katie Katie Kerk's husband, Katie.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Couric's husband, and she even had her her colonask be
- 7:25Speaker 2: done live on the Today Show. I mean, that's how
- 7:28Speaker 2: serious she viewed it and good for her. Her husband
- 7:31Speaker 2: died in his forties early forties of coorectal cancer. You
- 7:36Speaker 2: have a toughers and it's easy to prevent. It is
- 7:39Speaker 2: so easy to prevent. You grab it early and it's done. Okay,
- 7:47Speaker 2: let's move out and move on and start hitting the news.
- 7:50Speaker 2: It's signed for a Handle on the News with Amy
- 7:53Speaker 2: Neil and Me lead story.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Well, the issue.
- 7:58Speaker 2: About the public released materials relating to Jeffrey Epstein that
- 8:05Speaker 2: the Justice Department had and released pursuing into a bill
- 8:09Speaker 2: that was passed by Congress almost unanimously, and President Trump
- 8:14Speaker 2: was forced to sign it because he wanted to hold
- 8:16Speaker 2: on to those files or at least names. While two representatives,
- 8:21Speaker 2: one Democrat, no surprise, but Thomas Massey, leading Republican, is
- 8:27Speaker 2: saying we want more revealed, and more importantly, we want
- 8:33Speaker 2: revealed the names of six men because they are high
- 8:37Speaker 2: profile men and there's more to this story than meets
- 8:42Speaker 2: the eye. Now, Prince Andrew was caught red handed. I
- 8:47Speaker 2: mean there is no issue. He's probably the most blatant
- 8:51Speaker 2: the portrayer or an advocate, not advocate his acts of misappropriation. Yeah,
- 9:00Speaker 2: misappropriate behavior. I mean that's there. And you know King
- 9:03Speaker 2: Charles had to basically disown him and remove all honors.
- 9:08Speaker 2: The current the current Prime Minister of England, Kirk Starmer,
- 9:14Speaker 2: is also in deep trouble and there's a call for
- 9:17Speaker 2: his removal. This is affecting people all over the world.
- 9:22Speaker 2: So we'll pick that story up later. I'm sure as
- 9:24Speaker 2: this thing pans out. Okay, one more story and we'll
- 9:27Speaker 2: take a break.
- 9:28Speaker 3: Got a quid pro quote on the table. Gallaine Maxwell
- 9:32Speaker 3: appeared virtually before a House committee yesterday and took the
- 9:37Speaker 3: fifth but then said, Hey, if President Trump ends my
- 9:41Speaker 3: prison sentence, I'd be willing to testify that he and
- 9:46Speaker 3: former President Clinton didn't do anything wrong.
- 9:49Speaker 2: She already said that that's for starters, so I don't
- 9:53Speaker 2: know how much she can bring to the table on
- 9:55Speaker 2: top of that even if she could, can you imagine
- 10:00Speaker 2: the pushback that would happen? Can you imagine the blowback
- 10:05Speaker 2: that would happen if the president either pardoned her or
- 10:08Speaker 2: gave her a clemency, where the screaming of you are
- 10:12Speaker 2: supporting a child molester would just explode. So I don't
- 10:18Speaker 2: think this is going to happen, not anytime soon, not ever.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Although to hit her testimony, I'm sorry. I don't think
- 10:25Speaker 3: they need her.
- 10:26Speaker 2: That's exactly the point. That's for starters. But even but
- 10:30Speaker 2: even if they did, can you imagine what would happen?
- 10:33Speaker 3: Now?
- 10:33Speaker 4: All right, you're blocked. You got a judge.
- 10:36Speaker 5: Now, federal judge just yesterday blocked that California law from
- 10:41Speaker 5: going into effect that would ban federal immigration agents from
- 10:44Speaker 5: the face coverings that have become all too familiar to
- 10:49Speaker 5: us on television and in print and everything else. They'll
- 10:53Speaker 5: still be required, which makes sense to where clear identifications
- 10:57Speaker 5: showing their agency and badge number.
- 11:00Speaker 4: That's a no brainer.
- 11:01Speaker 5: But the judge here, Christina Snyder, she said that the
- 11:06Speaker 5: issue really about the ruling is because it's discriminating because
- 11:12Speaker 5: it's just federal officers, it's not state law enforcement, and
- 11:16Speaker 5: so on, and so forth. So it's either all or none.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Okay, I got nothing, okay, all right.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Like it never happened. Emotion signed by US Attorney Jeanine Piro.
- 11:34Speaker 3: The Justice Department is asking US District Judge Carl Nichols
- 11:39Speaker 3: to dismiss a two count indictment against Steve Bannon that
- 11:44Speaker 3: the DOJ brought against Steve Bannon more than four years ago,
- 11:48Speaker 3: following January sixth. The charges from November of twenty twenty
- 11:52Speaker 3: one were filed after the Democratic led House voted to
- 11:56Speaker 3: hold Bannon in contempt for defiance congressional subpoena to testify
- 12:02Speaker 3: about January sixth. So this would wipe that out.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Yeah, and he went to prison for four months. But
- 12:08Speaker 2: and this Justice Apartment, as you said, that has filed
- 12:11Speaker 2: this lawsuit. And I don't know why President Trump just
- 12:18Speaker 2: doesn't straight out pardon him. Done finished. I find that
- 12:21Speaker 2: kind of surprising because that could wipe out any conviction.
- 12:26Speaker 5: I just wonder how a homeless guy got so close
- 12:29Speaker 5: to a president.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Oh, because he looks homeless. Yeah, he does look homeless.
- 12:34Speaker 2: And of course the reason he got convicted is because
- 12:37Speaker 2: the Biden administration has weaponized the Justice Apartment. I find
- 12:41Speaker 2: it so ironic that the Justice Apartment, which is clearly weaponized.
- 12:46Speaker 2: I mean, there's no question, I don't care who you are,
- 12:49Speaker 2: tell me that President Trump is not using the Justice
- 12:52Speaker 2: Department to go after his perceived enemies straight out retribution.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I'm going after your my enemies, doesn't even pretend to
- 13:00Speaker 2: cover it up. And he's going after the weaponization of
- 13:03Speaker 2: the Justice Department. I mean, that's the part that I
- 13:07Speaker 2: find just ironic, And no other president could dream of
- 13:13Speaker 2: doing this stuff. And then Nancy got three business.
- 13:18Speaker 5: This is so heartbreaking and it's hard to put yourself
- 13:22Speaker 5: in her shoes, but the Today host Savannah Guthrie yesterday
- 13:29Speaker 5: just face to face looking into the camera post that
- 13:32Speaker 5: she put online on social media of just begging for
- 13:37Speaker 5: help to find her mom.
- 13:38Speaker 4: Nancy Guthrie.
- 13:40Speaker 5: This is about a week or so after the eighty
- 13:42Speaker 5: year old was abducted, and she just calls it as
- 13:49Speaker 5: we're all seeing it. She's saying, Hey, this is our
- 13:51Speaker 5: hour of desperation. We need your help. We believe our
- 13:55Speaker 5: mom is still out there. Law enforcement is working tireless
- 14:00Speaker 5: lee around the clock trying to bring her home. If
- 14:03Speaker 5: you hear anything, there's anything that seems strange to you
- 14:06Speaker 5: report it to law enforcement. She thanks people for their prayers.
- 14:10Speaker 5: She felt them, she says, their mom feels them. She's
- 14:13Speaker 5: sure of it. But there's just not yet that we
- 14:19Speaker 5: know anybody identifiedly that.
- 14:22Speaker 2: You would think that during the course of all of this,
- 14:25Speaker 2: the family and or the police would be asking for
- 14:28Speaker 2: proof of life.
- 14:31Speaker 4: I think they're holding this one.
- 14:33Speaker 2: And that maybe they've already done that and we just
- 14:35Speaker 2: don't know what's going on. Yeah, because they're keeping a
- 14:38Speaker 2: lot in this close to the vest I.
- 14:41Speaker 5: Think they're doing things behind the scene and trying trying
- 14:44Speaker 5: to smoke some information out.
- 14:47Speaker 4: We shall see.
- 14:50Speaker 3: This may be a bridge too far for President tur
- 14:55Speaker 3: The President says he will not allow a bridge connecting
- 14:57Speaker 3: Detroit and Windsor, Ontario to open and until the US
- 15:01Speaker 3: is fully compensated for everything. So it's the Gordy how
- 15:06Speaker 3: International Bridge costs four point six billion dollars to build.
- 15:09Speaker 3: It's one and a half mile infrastructure project that connects
- 15:13Speaker 3: you know, US to Canada, and it was approved back
- 15:15Speaker 3: in twenty fourteen. It's expected to open in early twenty
- 15:19Speaker 3: twenty six, but Trump is now bocking at it, saying
- 15:22Speaker 3: that Canada used our stuff. They didn't or you know
- 15:27Speaker 3: they it's not us products. We don't have control of it.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Canada has control of both the Detroit side and the
- 15:33Speaker 3: Ontario side. And he wants fifty percent ownership of the
- 15:37Speaker 3: bridge or he's not going to let it open.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Not one hundred percent. No, it's happening now, only fifty percent.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Well, we have an annexed Canada, Canada.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. We haven't made it the fifty first state.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Gordi Howe, I'm not mistaken. Wasn't he the great hockey player?
- 15:52Speaker 2: Gordi how.
- 15:55Speaker 5: If I'm not mistaken, there's a fifty to fifty chance
- 15:58Speaker 5: of Fe's from Canada.
- 15:59Speaker 4: Yeah, that's wrecked.
- 16:00Speaker 2: And he's the one. He was one of the last
- 16:01Speaker 2: ones that didn't wear a helmet or didn't wear a
- 16:04Speaker 2: face mask either. So he had no teeth because he
- 16:07Speaker 2: was grandfathered in because his grandfather, his grandfather father had
- 16:11Speaker 2: no teeth either. So Corno was looking that up. Was
- 16:15Speaker 2: Gordia Hockey?
- 16:16Speaker 4: It was play twenty six seasons.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Yeah, they're naming it after Gordi. How interesting when the
- 16:22Speaker 2: last time a bridge was named after a hockey player.
- 16:25Speaker 3: Well, their heroes in Canada.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm starting a new spot for lasting smiles.
- 16:30Speaker 2: They do implants and they're trying to get Gordi Howe
- 16:35Speaker 2: or a I to be a spokesperson for lasting smiles.
- 16:42Speaker 2: All right, moving on, Oh, let's take a break. Okay please, wow, Okay,
- 16:47Speaker 2: I know it's we have I have mentioned that to
- 16:51Speaker 2: them yet? No, I'm sure I will.
- 16:52Speaker 4: You got playing hockey forever?
- 16:56Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 16:56Speaker 4: Oh yeah, forever?
- 16:57Speaker 2: Smile Yeah todaybviously everybody wears the helmet and wears a
- 17:03Speaker 2: face mask. That's sort of you got to do that
- 17:05Speaker 2: in the NHL.
- 17:06Speaker 5: Back to Canada, famous Canadian and one of my TV
- 17:10Speaker 5: and movie crushes, Katherine O'Hara. We all learned about her
- 17:14Speaker 5: death and the cause has been released. Pulmonary embolism. It's
- 17:21Speaker 5: blockage in this case in lung artery and this is
- 17:26Speaker 5: you know, it comes from a blood clot. But this
- 17:28Speaker 5: was in response or part of the rectal cancer that
- 17:33Speaker 5: was listed on her certificate as the underlying cause of death.
- 17:37Speaker 5: But man, I go back to watching her on SCTV
- 17:40Speaker 5: as a kid, and just brilliant, that whole group, Eugene
- 17:44Speaker 5: Levy and John Candy and all of them together. She
- 17:48Speaker 5: just absolutely brilliant.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Yeah, She died at seventy one, which is way way
- 17:53Speaker 2: too young, and she was still.
- 17:54Speaker 3: Working on a show, yeah, in the studio.
- 17:57Speaker 2: And it's one of those it's a message. I mean,
- 18:00Speaker 2: I think it tells people that you have to have
- 18:03Speaker 2: to get a colonoscopy. And there are all kinds of
- 18:06Speaker 2: other tests that don't do anything. They don't go to
- 18:09Speaker 2: the same level of colonoscopy that is a gold standard.
- 18:12Speaker 2: And it's if there are no symptoms that's bleeding, I'm
- 18:19Speaker 2: assuming stomach issues. Then normally people don't get them. Well,
- 18:25Speaker 2: I think I got my first one when I was
- 18:28Speaker 2: in my mid fifties. Second one ten years later, and
- 18:34Speaker 2: I got mine because I had some symptoms and they
- 18:38Speaker 2: actually found a couple of polyps in my colon singing polyps.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Very strange.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Hey, Catherine O'Hara had not publicly revealed any health struggles too.
- 18:54Speaker 4: I know that's it.
- 18:55Speaker 5: You know, I don't know if a woman wants to
- 18:57Speaker 5: come out and broadcast.
- 19:00Speaker 3: I do tell you you don't want to know, But
- 19:02Speaker 3: you did. Only you know why I did because Chadwick
- 19:06Speaker 3: Boseman died of it. And it was right after that
- 19:09Speaker 3: I was like, we didn't know he was fighting it
- 19:11Speaker 3: either and like, think of the difference that the black
- 19:14Speaker 3: panther could have made. So but that's okay. I totally
- 19:19Speaker 3: also respect her desire for privacy because you don't have
- 19:22Speaker 3: a lot of Sich celebrity taking more control. Israel's government
- 19:28Speaker 3: has taken unilateral steps to give itself greater control over
- 19:32Speaker 3: the occupied West Bank. So apparently that's going to make
- 19:36Speaker 3: it easier for Jewish settlers to buy land and undercut
- 19:41Speaker 3: the Palestinian authority in parts of the West Bank. Appears,
- 19:45Speaker 3: that appears to get in the way of agreements that
- 19:48Speaker 3: Israel signed under the Oslo peace process decades ago, and
- 19:52Speaker 3: is also an opposition to President Trump, who's saying, you know,
- 19:56Speaker 3: any annexation of that territory could be a violate of
- 20:00Speaker 3: international law and.
- 20:02Speaker 2: In violation of the entire international community as they view it.
- 20:10Speaker 2: I mean, there is no question if one views believes
- 20:13Speaker 2: in a two state solution, which I do and many
- 20:16Speaker 2: people do, this guarantees that will never happen, because it
- 20:20Speaker 2: turns out, for example, arguing that one state there should
- 20:25Speaker 2: be a well, no, that's a bad analogy because we've
- 20:28Speaker 2: done that. But what it does is virtually guarantee that
- 20:33Speaker 2: These are basically towns and villages, Israeli towns and villages
- 20:39Speaker 2: that have been created in the West Bank, and Israel
- 20:43Speaker 2: can't give them up. How do you give up fifty
- 20:45Speaker 2: thousand people in a town? And that's their argument. And
- 20:49Speaker 2: it's going farther and farther east to the point where
- 20:52Speaker 2: there are no There is going to be no land
- 20:54Speaker 2: for Palestinians. The two state solution is done, which means
- 20:58Speaker 2: that this will go on for ever. With insurgency, it
- 21:02Speaker 2: will go on forever. With terrorism. Terrorism if you want
- 21:08Speaker 2: to call it that, I mean, who is If you're
- 21:11Speaker 2: on the side of it, you're a freedom fighter. If
- 21:13Speaker 2: you are on the other side, is terrorism. So unfortunately,
- 21:16Speaker 2: that's what's going on there, all right.
- 21:19Speaker 5: The Olympics, not since Bill Handle's last m seeing gig,
- 21:24Speaker 5: has a podium caused so much damage? But don't boom
- 21:28Speaker 5: the Olympics. The organizing committee there for the Milan Courtina Olympics,
- 21:33Speaker 5: they're apologizing for the surface of the podium used in
- 21:38Speaker 5: the Milano ice skating arena. It caused all kinds of
- 21:42Speaker 5: little damage to the blades of figure skaters. And you
- 21:45Speaker 5: have several athletes complaining about Nick scrapes and things like
- 21:50Speaker 5: that in their skates. So they're they're taking steps right
- 21:53Speaker 5: now to replace the surface to prevent this from causing
- 21:57Speaker 5: any more damage.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know that freshly sharpened blades were a
- 22:01Speaker 2: last resort. I thought they would sharpen the blades just
- 22:04Speaker 2: before going on the ice. And that's not the case.
- 22:09Speaker 4: Yeah, one would think.
- 22:10Speaker 2: Huh, yeah, one would think. But it's not the case
- 22:12Speaker 2: at all.
- 22:16Speaker 3: Dad says Lindsay's done if he has anything to say
- 22:19Speaker 3: about it. Lindsay Vonn's dad said that Lindsay will no
- 22:24Speaker 3: longer race if he has any influence over her decision.
- 22:27Speaker 3: Of course. She fell and broke her leg during the
- 22:30Speaker 3: downhill run on Sunday. He said, she's forty one years
- 22:34Speaker 3: old and this is the end of her career.
- 22:40Speaker 2: See, yeah, makes sense. As she said, she needs a
- 22:42Speaker 2: bunch of surgery. Also, it's difficult to find clothing that
- 22:48Speaker 2: you can wear when the bone sticks through the clothing,
- 22:53Speaker 2: it just doesn't work. It doesn't bode well.
- 22:56Speaker 5: She made it clear though, that it was not a
- 22:58Speaker 5: result Yes, yeah.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Right, she said it had nothing to do with the
- 23:03Speaker 2: A C. L. And no one's refuting that. I mean,
- 23:08Speaker 2: you could argue that psychologically it did. But I not
- 23:12Speaker 2: with Lindsay Vaughn. I think I just clipped it. Yeah,
- 23:16Speaker 2: just bad bad luck. It was just bad luck. It
- 23:18Speaker 2: would have happened anyway. A cl or not or the
- 23:20Speaker 2: A C L didn't get in the way, as you
- 23:23Speaker 2: pointed out.
- 23:23Speaker 5: All right, Uh, you know best buddy to President Trump,
- 23:27Speaker 5: Senator Adam Schiff of California, And.
- 23:30Speaker 4: Of course Burbank, our beloved Burbank is endorsing Representative Eric Swallwell. Swallwell,
- 23:40Speaker 4: for no one's heard of who the hell is Swalwell.
- 23:44Speaker 2: And even weirder, he's a Democrat from Dublin, Ireland. I
- 23:48Speaker 2: didn't even know if someone from Dublin, Ireland can.
- 23:50Speaker 3: Run California in the area.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Oh okay, got it, all right, fair enough.
- 23:57Speaker 4: But obviously shift is one of the state's prominent Democrats.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure, he's got enormous Well, I don't
- 24:05Speaker 2: know mind how much power he has in the Senate
- 24:06Speaker 2: because he's a new senator. I mean when he was
- 24:10Speaker 2: a congress person he had enormous power. Also, he led
- 24:13Speaker 2: the fight against Donald Trump on the first the first
- 24:17Speaker 2: impeachment trial. Silwell was the manager of the fight against
- 24:22Speaker 2: the second impeachment trial. So I don't know how big
- 24:26Speaker 2: the endorsements work.
- 24:29Speaker 5: You know, I get a Christmas card from Adam Schiffiff
- 24:33Speaker 5: every year. Huh met a bazillion years ago.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Wasn't he think it wasn't Didn't he represent Burbank? Yeah
- 24:40Speaker 2: he did? Yeah, he represented us right here? Okay, how about.
- 24:46Speaker 3: A new trial. Rebecca Grossman's attorney is asking for a
- 24:53Speaker 3: new trial, of course. Rebecca Grossman is serving prison time
- 24:57Speaker 3: for running down and killing two young brothers in Westlake
- 25:01Speaker 3: Village in twenty twenty. The attorney is arguing that her
- 25:05Speaker 3: murder conviction should be overturned because of faulty jury instructions.
- 25:09Speaker 3: The jurors who convicted Grossman, according to the lawyer, were
- 25:12Speaker 3: not given the legally correct definition of implied malice.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really minor stuff. Although, as the attorney says,
- 25:22Speaker 2: in a close case, I don't know how close this was.
- 25:24Speaker 2: The phrasing matters, and so I'm looking at it and
- 25:28Speaker 2: it seems pretty close to me. But the language has
- 25:32Speaker 2: to be specific, and what the defense is saying it
- 25:35Speaker 2: wasn't specific enough enough. We need a new trial. Don't
- 25:39Speaker 2: know which way that she killed.
- 25:40Speaker 4: Two kids with her car.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I was British joint driving in a crosswalk.
- 25:46Speaker 4: Yeah, just going.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Seventy and a forty five mile per hour a younger.
- 25:50Speaker 5: Yeah, you're l lady and yeah Jesus all right. One
- 25:57Speaker 5: day before the hearing to explore whether of Los Angeles
- 26:01Speaker 5: misled federal courts, a lot of garbage going down with
- 26:05Speaker 5: his plan to clear thousands of homeless encampments. Promises were made.
- 26:11Speaker 5: So now the city's outside council asked an appeals court
- 26:15Speaker 5: to remove the judge from the case. So what's what's
- 26:18Speaker 5: all this mean legally? Is this just deployed to delay everything?
- 26:23Speaker 2: Yeah, well, here's the issue with the city trying to
- 26:28Speaker 2: get rid of this judge. This judge, David o'carter is
- 26:32Speaker 2: fanatic about wiping out the homeless project problem, to the
- 26:37Speaker 2: extent that defendants say, he doesn't matter, it's he can.
- 26:41Speaker 2: He orders cities, counties to do some insane stuff. Matter
- 26:45Speaker 2: of fact, we talked to Todd Spitzer, and when Spitzer
- 26:49Speaker 2: was on the he was a he was a county
- 26:54Speaker 2: supervisor in Orange County. He said Carter would walk up
- 26:57Speaker 2: and down the Santa Ana River and count the encampments.
- 27:01Speaker 2: When does the federal judge walk up and down the
- 27:04Speaker 2: sant Anna River for the encampments there. Oh, so when
- 27:07Speaker 2: it was charged, I mean, it's uh. He is fanatic
- 27:10Speaker 2: about dealing with homelessness, and the city said this guy
- 27:13Speaker 2: is way too far and he made errors in overseeing
- 27:18Speaker 2: the settlement that happened.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Kaiser News more peeps on the picket line. Pharmacists and
- 27:25Speaker 3: lab techs have joined more than thirty thousand nurses and
- 27:29Speaker 3: healthcare workers. They are striking for what they claim are
- 27:34Speaker 3: unfair labor practices by Kaiser. And some of the stories
- 27:37Speaker 3: that are coming out are pretty pretty crazy, like when
- 27:42Speaker 3: they're saying that they're understaffed. One guy says he works
- 27:45Speaker 3: pediatric er and a lot of times has six patients
- 27:48Speaker 3: for himself. Another says they're asking for CT scan and
- 27:53Speaker 3: the nurses, I don't have time to do a CT
- 27:55Speaker 3: scan for you. I got to cover breaks.
- 27:56Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I mean it's no, it is bad.
- 27:59Speaker 2: The shortage is bad.
- 28:00Speaker 3: There's not only Kaiser either.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Yeah, and Kaiser, which is supposed to be a great
- 28:04Speaker 2: place to work. And every time I talk to people
- 28:07Speaker 2: of the work at Kaiser, and I talk a lot
- 28:09Speaker 2: to those folks Kaiser says we're offering thirty percent over
- 28:13Speaker 2: the length of the contract. I don't know how long
- 28:16Speaker 2: the new contract is, but they're saying we're and that's
- 28:19Speaker 2: not including benefit enhancements. So why the shorts saying that's
- 28:24Speaker 2: not enough. But it's such a tough job being a
- 28:27Speaker 2: nurse is it's a tough job.
- 28:31Speaker 5: It really is, all right, this is a horrible story.
- 28:37Speaker 5: Christopher Ramstead Ramsted forty seven years old. He is or
- 28:44Speaker 5: was a Passing A Fire Department captain. He's facing child's
- 28:48Speaker 5: sex abuse charges. He was re arrested. I guess he
- 28:52Speaker 5: was arrested on Wednesday of last week and then released
- 28:56Speaker 5: from jail after posting bail, and then he was re arrested.
- 28:59Speaker 4: On front and held with no bail.
- 29:03Speaker 5: His bail hearing is scheduled in like three days.
- 29:07Speaker 4: On the thirteenth.
- 29:09Speaker 5: Lives in Thousand Oaks, but it was hired by the
- 29:11Speaker 5: Passing A Fire Department in two thousand and five, promoted
- 29:14Speaker 5: to captain in twenty sixteen.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a horrible story, as you said, And if
- 29:21Speaker 2: he ends up going to prison, they have to keep
- 29:24Speaker 2: him in a secluded area. Chowd Molesters do not do
- 29:27Speaker 2: well in prison cops and child molesters. They have to
- 29:32Speaker 2: be protected otherwise they die. The general population they're not
- 29:35Speaker 2: going to survive. All right, that's it. We're done, guys.
