  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: See Bill Handle here. Good morning.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: On a Tuesday, April seventh, quick ord about Friday coming
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: up at eight thirty right after Footy Friday at eight
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: o'clock with Neil. It's ask handle anything where you have
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: to be part of that because it's about you embarrassing me.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: We've been playing with that for a while and it's
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: great fun. And here's how it works. You go to
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app during the show and you'll click on KFI.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: This show will be streaming, you'll be hearing it, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: then click on the microphone in the upper right hand corner.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: You'll have ten or fifteen seconds to record your question
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: to embarrass me. And then Neil chooses the most embarrassing questions.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: KNO puts it on the air and I answer and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what the questions are. And also
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: if you miss that, can't listen to it, don't have
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the opportunity. We podcast. We podcast every segment of the show.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: So if for example, the news, we just did the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: last hour and podcast that, and so we invite you
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to do that. Okay, big day today because the president
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: has announced that at five o'clock our time, there will
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: be a massive attack on Iran's bridges and power plants
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: if the Strait of Hormuz does not open up. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: here we have rising gasoline prices, growing casualties, super concerns
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that the strikes could be war crimes, which incidentally, if
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the President goes on with his threat and in fact
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: does bomb power plants and destroy bridges, yeah, that's going
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: to be a war crime and then further damaging the
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: global economy. So this isn't just the president doing something
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that affects us domestically.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The entire world is going to be affected by this.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: So yesterday the presidential reporters quote, the entire country can
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: be taken out in one night, and that night might
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: be tomorrow night. Every bridge in Iran will be decimated
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: by twelve o'clock tomorrow night, every power plant in Iran
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: To be used again. That's pretty big stuff.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Now, normally, you would never imagine a president of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: United States single handedly making the decision to go to
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: war or to do these kinds of attacks one of
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: the things, and you wouldn't have seen this during Trump's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: first term where there were actually some guardrails. First time around,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: he had advisors who would say, mister president, that's not
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: kind of a good idea. Now, that doesn't makes sense.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Now you don't want to do this.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: His advisors are all sick of fan Yes, mister president,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: it's a great idea, mister president. Whatever you want, mister president.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And normal you can't even understand him most of the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: time because they're speaking like this with their heads so
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: far up his rear end that you can barely understand
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: what is being said.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And so is he going to do it? You know?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I you know, he threatens at the same time, he
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: doesn't threaten. One of the things that he argues, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: maybe a good argument is if we don't know what
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: he's going to do next, then how do you deal
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: with someone like that? The advantage is his on behalf
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: of the United States and his opinion, because that's the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: art of the deal.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Always keep him guessing.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Well, he certainly has everybody guessing, that's for sure, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: so the countdown continues on. Now, keep in mind, the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: gasoline prices have exploded, I mean, that've gone crazy, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. Have you actually have, for example,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: in Georgia, in Marjorie Taylor Green's district, the Republican who
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: is running to replace Marjorie Taylor Green, as we said
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: during the news straight out, said that Donald Trump is
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: keeping America safe even though your gas prices are ridiculous.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And then you have the Democrats are saying and not
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: such a good idea. I mean, this is really screwing
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: us over. I mean, thousands of people already have been
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: killed in this war across the Middle East. You've got
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: tens of thousands of US troops deployed, thirteen members of
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: our military have been killed, and financial experts expect there's
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: going to be a slow down of.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: The entire globe economy.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And so oh, there was a briefing that was scheduled
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: for this morning that didn't go forward. Pete Hegseth was
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: going to be there. General dan Kin, chairman of the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Joint Chiefs of Staff, expected to be there. They just
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: can't outright, and so one of there's some several issues
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: going on. Legal issues, are is this a war crime?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Is this genocide? I'm going to talk about that at
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: seven twenty and a little bit of handle history. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: want to share with you because war crimes, genocide, crimes
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: against humanity which are being thrown about, those are legal
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: terms accepted by the international community. And I will share
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: with you what's going on. We tend to conflate all
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: this we do know or the experts telling and inflation
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: will rise, economic growth will slow down. I mean talking
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: about world economic growth as a result of the war.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: And you know saying that the head of the IMF,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the International Monetary Fund, which is respected as the financial
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: spokesperson for the world economy and Iran well, so far
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Iran isn't even though it is losing massive amounts of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: its infrastructure and has lost civilians, is holding the cards.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Why Because they're holding on to that Strait of Hormuz.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: That's the end all, be all. And here is the problem.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: What do they do tonight five o'clock our time? Do
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: they open up the straits? Does Iran open up the
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: straits and give up all of its leverage or ninety
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: percent of it? Or does it just stand firm? And
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the problem with this regime is I believe they would
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: rather go down burning then give up their power, much
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: like Hamas. Hamas would rather go down and watch its
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: own people be decimated and the country be wiped out.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Eighty percent of the infrastructure of Gaza has been destroyed,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: and Hamas is still there. They still they're not gonna
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: let go if one hundred percent of the buildings where
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: everybody lives intents, except of course Hamas leadership, which you'll
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: have to live underground. And I think the regime is
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: in the same position in Iran. Well, how many thousands,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people they murdered, I mean they
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: you know, you had these protesters. They didn't come out
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: and just occasionally shoot someone. They mowed them down. These
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: are Iranians killing Iranians at some point, is there a well,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: you know, it's hard for us to believe that. For example,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: with the US Army, would border patrol take out machine
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: guns and start mowing down protesters. Well, that's what they do.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: And as long as the Revolutionary Guard, which is in
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: control of the country for the most part under the Moulahs,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: and the two are hand in hand, they you're gonna
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: see Iranians. You can see a regime that has taken over.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I'll bet you a lot of people, although not too
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: many are around, that are nineteen seventy nine, welcome the
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: new Ayatola and it became a theocracy where Iran gave
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: up its secular government under the shop because the corruption
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: was incredible under the show. And they brought in this
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: this regime by popular demand. By the way, it wasn't
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: a coup. It was not a coup that that military
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: might took over Iran. They were the the Iyatola came
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: in accepted by the people of Iran.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: How'd that work out that? Well? Very well?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I wonder what they are I wonder if they have
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: any kids out there who were protesting. Okay, tonight this
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: afternoon our time, five o'clock, the attack on Iran is
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: going to start if the Strait of Hormuz is not
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: opened up pursuant to President Trump's his decision and his threat.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: And so a couple of things are going to happen.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: First of all, the word war crimes is being thrown around,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and the experts actually not even experts. So people are
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: saying if the attack happens, and what the president is
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: threatening is the attack of all power plants and all
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: bridges in the country of Iran, all of them. Now,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: does the I States have the capability of doing that? Well,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: if not all of that pretty close to that? Is
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: that a war crime?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: It is, why because it's going after civilian infrastructure. Taking
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: out power plants is something that civilians use as well
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: as the military. And a lot of people are arguing,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: if it's a military target, it's legitimate. What if it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: both both military as well as civilian, is it a
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: war crime? Yeah?
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Possibly.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Now you're also hearing crimes against humanity, and there is
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: a huge difference because the war crime that would be
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: alleged against the people of Iran is not to decimate
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the people of Iran. It's not to take out the citizenship,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: is to make the regime as vulnerable as possible, as
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: a matter of fact, to overthrow the regime. It's the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: purpose is not to eliminate the Iranian people. A crime
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: against humanity would go that far. Ethnic cleansing, for example,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: any attack on a people, either by way of murder,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: by way of well certainly torture, ethnic cleansing, just moving
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: them around. And here's the crimes against humanity. It's fascinating
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: because the history of this, the crimes against humanity really
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: came up at Nuremberg when the Nazis were tried after
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: World War Two, and one of the charges against those
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Nazi leaders was the crime against humanity, which goes beyond
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: any crime, beyond any kind of statute passed by any country.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: For example, Adolph Eikman, who was a kidnapped and he
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: was in charge of transporting the Jews six million him
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: to their death in Europe, was charged in nineteen sixty.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: He was kidnapped out of Argentina, brought to Israel for
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: trial and he was charged with crimes against humanity.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Now here was his defenses.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Number One, Israel didn't exist when he did those, So
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: how can a country that didn't even exist be able
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: to try him? That's for starters. And at that time Israel,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think, had the death penalty. And when he
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: was convicted, he was hanged. So there was a jurisdictional question.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: It was the issue of a country try him that
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: didn't exist at all, and the crimes were perpetrated. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: so here's what the judges said, where the prosecutor and
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: the judges ruled that a crime against humanity is so
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: extensive it goes beyond anything that any country can pass Jurisdictionally,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: it is a crime against the very essence of the
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: human race. It doesn't matter what time, doesn't matter when
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: or where, under what circumstances. It is accepted by the
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: international community that this goes beyond anything that is put
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: down in statute or on law. That's the crime against humanity.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Is that going to fly on this one? Probably not
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: war crime? Yeah, probably, because the issue is civilians being attacked.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: And so the other thing is our war crimes have
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: to be done during war, which is why they call
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: it a war crime. And if it's done during the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: civilian when there is no war, it cannot be technically
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: a war crime. A crime against humanity that can happen
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: any place, war, not war, across any country lines, across
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: any geographical.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Lines, and it is.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: And crimes against humanity don't even need to be targeted
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: against specific population group, and even if they are, it
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: is the ultimate crime as far as the international community
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: is concerned.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Okay. The other thing was kind of fun, by the way,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: When Nadolph Eichmann was.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Kidnapped, one of his arguments was, you can't kidnap me
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: and bring me this to Israel because it was illegal.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: You kidnap me to bring me here, And that was
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: the argument that was made by his defense and the
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: prosecution overrode that.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And you know what, the.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Basis that they used for saying it doesn't matter how
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: you get here, as long as you get here, even
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: if you're kidnapped, came out of the United States during
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the Civil War days.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: They relied on Civil War.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Laws of the United States to justify that, which is accepted,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: which is why bounty hunters can chase you down and
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: the court doesn't care kidnap not kidnap, Just get here
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: and we'll give you your will give you your rights.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now, let's get local here for a moment.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: La Unified school district where I grew up and I
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: always joke about it, Well, three major unions are threatening
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: to strike next week, which would completely close down the schools.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Not partially, I mean completely three major unions where if
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: even two of them were to go on with a strike,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: it would be impossible to keep the campuses open. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: that's three hundred and ninety thousand students that we're talking about,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and there would be Let me go on and explain
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that it's not just the schools would be closed. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: mean keep in mind that over fifty percent of the students.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: I believe in LA unified need help, need assistance, are
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: food insecure where breakfasts are served and lunches are served
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: at school. That all stops working parents who had their
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: kids in school, what do they do? School was taking
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: care of them. Do you know what child care costs?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: They couldn't begin to afford it. What do they do?
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about this bill, My wife and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I were just going over in our plans for next
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: week if this goes through, Because you're right, the only
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: person that will be there is custodial services.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's and by the way, they're and they are
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: unionized and they if they may not want to cross
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: the picket line.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Correct, So you've got nothing going on.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: So the school districting identify local food distribution sites, figure
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: out where you can get food. You know, there may
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: maybe we'll have a backup for childcare. One elementary school
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: might serve as a hub from students from five to
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: ten elementary schools.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: But then again, who's going to work there.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Bus drivers will be on strike, so you can't take
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: a bus any place. And bus drivers are not employees
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: of the school district but still unionized, and they probably
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: will honor the picket line. The UTLA represents thirty seven
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: thousand teachers, counselor, nurses, middle and high school librariy, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: of course every one of them walking out.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And the issue is pay.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: The union wants deep increases to the automatic races teachers
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: already received based on years of experience and education credits,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and the union wants to push the annual salary of
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: a starting teacher from sixty eight thousand dollars to seventy
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: seven thousand dollars a year. When you think about it,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: go whoa, And that's for what nine months of work
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: and you're off for three months during the summer. The
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: district actually says we're okay with the pay races. It's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: just we have to figure out if we can afford
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: it or not, and that's predicated on our ability to
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: pay for it. And there is something called a fact
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: finding process. It's almost like an arbitration clause where the
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: union and the school district they sit in front of
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: a three person board, one representative of the school district,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: one represented by the union, and one independent, and the
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: three of them sit down and go through all the
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: issues and see if there's any room for compromise and
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: if not, onto the next step, the next step being
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: a strike. Well they're onto the next step, the next
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: step being a strike, and this will be a strike
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: we have not yet seen. It's the hat trick. It's
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: three of the major unions. The schools are going to
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: be completely shut down, transportation, food, I mean all of it,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: and so parents are going to be on their own.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: And since this is LA Unified, it's a lot of
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: pressure put on a lot of very poor people LA
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Unified does. There's just not a whole lot of people
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: that have kids at LA Unified that have money. There
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: really doesn't kneel. For example, since he works here at iHeart,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: of course, he can't afford daycare, so he has no choice.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: We just put him in front of a homeless person
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: when he was a baby, just hope that they wouldn't
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: leave him.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: That was our.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Here hang out with Helbo Kelly. You'll be fine now.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: And maxis flying with that. We happen to have.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Really good teachers that I respect at Max's school and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: they're very attentive. But I got to tell you, man,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: going on you know these types of things where they
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: go on strike like this, it throws such a curveball
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: at parents. And we are now below Mississippi. You remember
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: how we used to say, well, yeah, we're not as
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: bad as Mississippi.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Right now we're something's wrong.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And when you're asking for more money and yet the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: schools are tanking.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Well, especially LA Unified, and uh, it's it's ungomftable. I
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: mean LA. And I've said this many many times about
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: LA Unified. It's almost it's beyond being able to be
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: administrated because of all the problems. And so when my
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: kids were bored, we're in LA Unified district. There was
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: no chance I was gonna let my kids go to
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: LA Unified. So I sent them to the super overpriced,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: insanely expensive Jewish day school where it costs more money
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to go to school than it costs to go to
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: medical school per semester.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: We have some good schools, we do, and we have
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: some great No, there are some goods, really schools there are.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: It's asistent enough. That is absolutely correct. It's very inconsistent.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Where when you say we have some good schools, take
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: out your hand and count on the fingers, even teacher's fingers,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: how many of those schools you're talking about Okay, el
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Nino is upon us, but it's more than al nino.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: It's a super el nino, a super duper el nino.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: By the way, that is the climological change. This is
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: the scientific term for this kind of El Nino, a
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: super duper el nino. And what is that about. Well,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: it's a warming patch of water in equatorial Pacific Ocean
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: and that influences which regions across the world have droughts
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: and floods and extreme heat and hurricanes, declining sea ice.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: And this is a super el Nino. This happens once
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: every ten to fifteen years, and the effects are even stronger,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: they are more persistent, they are more wide spread because
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: sea temperatures in that key region.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Exciseman about the.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Sneeze, Okay, yeah, hold on, hold on.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Look at the light at Okay, there we go. That
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: was a sneeze.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, where wise I super duper el nino before the sneeze,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: and so sea temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, in Pacific Ocean,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: key regions warm by more than two degrees celsius three
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: point six degrees fahrenheit above average, which means there is
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: a strong, stronger atmospheric response and that peaks in December
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: or January. So we're not going to be seeing this
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: for another nine ten months. And in fact, most of
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: it is going to happen next year. The western US,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: that's US guys, parts of Africa, Europe, India are going
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to be facing hotter than average summers. Can you imagine
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: a hotter than average summer. Some tropical countries in the Caribbean,
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Indonesia will have worse drought and extreme heat, more tropical
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: sitc clones in the Pacific, fewer hurricanes in the Atlantic,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: and we are going to get some more storms than
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: we usually get. And so this super El Nino is
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: going to be pushing global temperatures to record levels, particularly
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty seven. According to Paul round, the profession
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: of atmospheric science at State University of New York who
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: studies this stuff, real potential for the strongest al Nino
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: event in one hundred and forty years. We're looking at
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: some real storm. And when we talk about global warming
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: climate change, and we hear the scientists say, oh, we
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: can still do something about it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: The only thing we can do is slow it down
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: a bit.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I mean critical mass has already hit I mean, it's there,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: and now it's the question of what the weather is
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: going to be. Like have you noticed maybe I'm just
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: being crazy here. Well, I'm not being crazy, but maybe
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I'm off base. And Amy reports on this all the
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: time that winter storms.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: All of this.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Winter, it was every single night on the news, the
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: news outlet, outlets were reporting this insane weather, between storms,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: ice storms, blizzards on the East coast, floods in the
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: mid West.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just been Amy. Is that y Amy's
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: working on her news?
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Have those storms been more and in more intensity and
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: more in numbers over the.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Past good question, because I've asked that question before. Are
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: there more storms and more intense storms? Or do we
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: just report on it more like when you blizzard comes
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: through Colorado?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Is like I lived in Colorado. We had that all
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the time. I went I went.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: On a little deep dive some weeks ago, and it
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the information I saw was we really don't have more
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: storms than we had before, but the intensity was greater.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: When you look at these lights, I say, over this
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: past winter, and I don't even remember the last time
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: the news was reporting life threatening storms. That word's not
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: bandied about very often.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Big huge storms, like when they say, you know, one
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: hundred million people across the US, it's one band of storms,
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: but it's a huge storm and it affects, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: hundreds of millions of people.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the entire eastern seaboard, for example, from the Carolina's
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: up through Maine. Yeah, for example. I mean, just crazy stuff.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: We're in the Midwest, all the way across the Midwest
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: heading north east. It's I'm happy that I am not
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: being just being born right now. I think it's gonna
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: be a very tough world to live in. You know,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: I don't envy my kids. Well I do envy my
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: kids because I never had dad who had credit cards,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: so I you know, okay, but in terms of what
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: the world's going to be like between global warming and
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: it is going to get warmer, and cyber wars and
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: water wars, I mean, it's not going to be fun
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: And no credit cards. Girls, do you understand this?
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: No credit cards?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: No, there will be no credit cards.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I'm out.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Generation has a greater technological and every generation we continue
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: to be pushed up against new unexpected things, except.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: That this is the first generation that it has been
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: established will be worse off than their parents. We've never
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: seen that before, and it's always it's tough, it's not easy.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: It's fine for me because I don't care. You know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be gone, so you know, God bless you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: You know you can rot. Okay, coming up, it's rich tomorrow.
• 25:57
