• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Am six forty.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers having won the World Series.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I guess the Toronto Blue Jays, so so it's fair
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: to say Dodgers.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Won in four point four games. That's a reference to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the exchange rate between Candida.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: And United side that thinker was told there'd be no map.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Bill Handle.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And good morning everybody.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: It is a Tuesday, Taco Tuesday, November fourth, and we've got,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: strangely up another full day. Some breaking news today as well.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: It's a very important day in terms of elections. We'll
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: talk about that coming up. Also, welcome back to Amy.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, you have a sweatshirt that says the Beavers. Okay,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: explain that one, because of course what first comes to
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: mind is tell me what's going on with.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: That Oregon State Beavers football.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: I went to a football game while I was up
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: in Oregon and I got this jersey. Okay, and they won,
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: So I'm still celebrating because the Beavers suck this year,
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: so a win was it was a big deal.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: So when the Dodgers did win that last game, Game seven,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: of which I watched every single minute. That is the
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: first time in probably fifty years I have watched a
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: full game of baseball.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: And as soon as the Dodgers won, Lindsay said, why don't.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: You text Amy and congratulate her?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And did you get the text?
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: I did not.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: That's because I didn't send it. I figured that's correct.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: In any case, hell of a game. It was a
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: hell of a game. They say it was going to
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: go down for the ages. I thought it was.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: It was a really interesting game.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I had Petro signed yesterday and I thought that, you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: not that I'm a maven in baseball, but I thought
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: that Toronto actually outplayed the Dodgers through the series. It
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: was just they were the better team. A lot of
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: it was lightning in a bottle. I know, we're going
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: to do sports talk. You're shaking your finger at me,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: you're wagging your finger.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm only to say I initially actually was thinking
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: that at times too, thinking wow, the Blue Jays are
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: because they were fabulous. But the game is offense and defense,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: and the Dodgers came through in the clutch when they
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: needed to, so their defense it's you know, it's not
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: just offense.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So I understood, but you know, the argument is lightning
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in a bottle.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: But the other thing, I was making a lot of
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: fun yesterday about the parade, of course, and we were
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: doing I was going to do a football pool as
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: to how many dumpsters were going to be torched and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: how many cars were going to be overturned none, I
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: don't I always make that joke, but two and I
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: was thinking about this and seriously thinking about this. The
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Dodgers are absolutely an incredible organization when you look at
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the diversity. They were the first team to bring an
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: African American on Jackie Robinson I think it was nineteen
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: forty seven, and then made a huge deal out of
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the Hispanic Latino ballplayers and broadcasting.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Now, a lot of it has to do with a
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: population base.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: But they were at the forefront of that, and they're
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: at the forefront of Japanese players coming in. I mean,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: they have been ahead of the game in terms of
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: where this country has been going in terms of diversity
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and the concept of melting pots or a melting pot.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: And I have to give them a lot of credit
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: for that, I really do, and good for them. Good
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: for them all right, that's enough. I'm not going to
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: give them any more kudos. All right, Amy, welcome back
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and Cono. Good morning, Good morning Bill, Good morning Bill. Okay, excellent, Yeah,
• 4:03

• 4:20
  Speaker 2: good morning to you, Good morning to you. You see,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I'm in a reasonably good mood.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Got into a huge fight with Lindsay this morning, and
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: now I do this show. Uh it's called that Tuesday
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: they do. Uh did you and did you hear a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: scream at each other?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: No? I did not. Oh yeah, No, we were really
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: yelling at each other this morning.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Damn Yeah. The dogs came in and we just started yelling.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: It was really good fight. There's five o'clock in the morning,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: just you know, fight over stuff.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: Did you like Trump for an hour?
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: No?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: No, I did not like Trump for an hour.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Do you do that when she gets mad at you
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: say I'm going to become a Republican.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to become a rump is Yeah, all right,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: So we have the election we're going to talk about
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: today for sure, and a fairly extraordinary American has just died.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: And that's Dick Cheney, who died at the age of
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: eighty four. Should have died sooner. And I'm not talking
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: about politically, I'm talking about physically. He's had heart attack
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: after a heart attack, and he's had surgeries and had
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: a heart transplant bypass surgery.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he made it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: And he made it to eighty four, which actually is
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: pretty impressive. My dad made it to eighty five, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: he should have died in his fifties. But modern medicine
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: keeps people alive, So you may have ten years in
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you huh, No, I'm okay. I don't have I don't
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: have any heart disease. I don't. I've had two vowels
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: that were put in, but yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I've
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: had back surgery, it vowels put in. Nothing life threatening. No,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I don't have congeneral heart disease or anything.
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: Sounds different from your wife's point of view.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well that's because she's trying. Okay, all right,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: let's do it, guys. Are you ready. We've got plenty
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: of news to talk about. It is time for Handle
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: on the news with Amy. Who's back Neil and me
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: lead story, and it is Dick Cheney who has just
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: died at the age of eighty four. I'm not even
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: going I'm not even going through the list of what
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: he has done as a public servant. But I will
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: talk about that at seven am, because that'll be our
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: first segment coming up. And no matter which side of
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the political spectrum you are, he is a fascinating and
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: hugely influential character in our modern democracy and at the
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: very tip top of the power, serving two presidents, a
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: chief of staff when he was thirty four. Who the
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: hell becomes the presidential chief of staff at the age
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of thirty four?
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Dick Cheney.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Dick Cheney. All right, moving on.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Poles are opening in about fifty minutes.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Does anyone care?
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: Apparently not, because in California, since we went to vote
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: by mail, almost everybody's doing it. Since twenty twenty, more
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: than eight in ten Californians in stay wid er general
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: or special elections are voting by mail in either mailing
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: it in or dropping it off, or returning it to
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: a local voting center.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm seven twenty. I'm going to talk about that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And the conclusion I think that all of us will
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: reach or have reached, is all the reasons that the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: both sides are arguing for you to vote one way
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: or the other mean absolutely nothing.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: It's all crap, is what they're saying.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: No one believes in the underlying issue with democracy or
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: not democracy. It is straight politics, and so that's coming
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: out up at seven.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: La Metro can't can't find anybody to ride. They keep
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: telling everybody, Hey, here's something we'll do. How about free
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: rides today on election day? Get writers to the polls.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Not only they saying you can do that on the
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: La Metro as far as traditional methods, but also they're
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: newer methods like the Metro bike Share. They offer free
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: thirty minute rides. Metro customers can select one ride at
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: any Metro bike share kiosk, you can go online, you
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: can go to the Metro bike share app whatever it is,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: but you got to use the promo code. It's very clever.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: One one zero four, two five eleven zero four.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: It's very clever. And I understand the Metro buses. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: get that, I understand what a train is. Bike share,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I understand now micro ride share either their tiny little
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: cars or busting cell or very small people only people
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: under three foot eight dwarfs are allowed on all right.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: No ID required.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: A California appeals court has ruled that a voter identification
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: rule approved by Huntington Beach last year violates state law.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: Voters approve the measure that requires residents to show valid
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: ID to cast a ballot. It would have started in
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty six, but the State of California filed a
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: lawsuit saying the measure unlawfully conflicts with and is preempted
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: by state law. A lower court dismissed the case, and
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: then Attorney General Rob Bonta appealed that ruling and.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: One and one And I'm surprised that the lower court
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: even agreed with Huntington Beach. I mean, election law is
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: very clear cut. The states control all election law. And
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: also a state law preempts a county law preempts city law.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And we discussed this before about Huntington b which is
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the poster child of conservatism in southern California.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: So why is it a conservative thing to do? Voter
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: I D I don't understand why. Hey, I'm a favor
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: of voter ID vote I am a favor of voter
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: I D. However, the philosophy of voter I D. If
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: you're pushing voter I D, therefore you're disenfranchising people who
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: don't have ID.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Who doesn't have ID, well.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Poor people who don't go to the DMV, homeless people
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: who don't go to the DMV, people that don't understand
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the DMV.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: It's only the poor and the homeless.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: And that is the basis of the law that says none.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: Of that ID for everything else.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: And I told this story before last election. I went,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: and I've done this several times. I go to the
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: polls and I like to vote, although now I do
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: it by mail. I'm done physically pulling anymore physically going
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: to the p and I walk up there and I say,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: you know, my name is William Handle and give my
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: address and then I say, would you like to see
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: my ID? No, I go, I have my ID right
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: here to prove who I am. Don't want to see it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: But don't you want to know who I am? Well, yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you said who you are? And the weirdiest thing in
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It is so strange. It is beyond belief.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: You certainly need an idea, drive a car, you certainly
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: need ID.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Actually to walk the streets, you have to have ID.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: But when it comes to voting, our most precious franchise
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: that exists in a free society, the right to vote.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Now you don't have to find out that they don't
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: care whether you are or not. Now, the other side
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: of it is fraud. The amount of fraud that actually
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: exists without vot ID that's minuscule too.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: So that's the reality.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Okay, well not just on this coast, but on the
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: East Coast as well.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: Today's big day.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: You got present sat Donald Trump urging New Yorkers in
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: typical kind of heavy handed Donald Trump way his strongest
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: terms yet to vote for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: he hates in the city's mayoral race.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he hates Cuomo. Cuomo hates him. Yeah, they're both total,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: total enemies. On the other hand, you got mom Donnie,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: who is what Trump calls a communist, and he's not
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a communist.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a socialist, but there's a difference.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: You know, he's Trump's going a little bit far, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: so we're going to do more about that. Coming up
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: at seven thirty. I aim you were about to.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Say something, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: That's exactly correct. Yeah, that's it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And he said he came right out and said, whether
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: you personally like him or not, you really have no choice.
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: And by the way, if you vote for him, New
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: York will not get any more money. As a matter
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of fact, he's gonna he is going to have probably
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Mike Johnson and uh and or conceivably another representative that
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: put in a bill to make New York illegal. The
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: city will be about the existence of the city will
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: be in violation of federal law.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: You just watch what's your thoughts on Mom, Donnie, Mom, Dottie, Mom, Dommy.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Well, he is certainly left wing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's about as left wing as you're going
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: to get out there. Uh. There's a big issue about
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: him being anti Semitic because he's he's Muslim and it's
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: pro Palestinian. I mean, to the extent is he anti Semitic?
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know, because a lot of Jews say anti Semitism.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: But if you're pro Palestinian, you're there for anti Semitic.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I don't buy that.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I think you can be pro Palestinian and not be
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: anti Semitic.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and certainly you could be Muslim and not be
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: anti Semitic.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Well that's so I'll talk more about that. But he is,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: he's going to be mayor for one thing, and there's
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: certain things that he wants to do.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Free bus rides for everybody.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: For example, he wants rent stabilization, no more rent increases,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: which makes absolutely no sense.
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: Why does much you waive the ten dollars cost for IDs.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: And I don't know, I mean that will be wait,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's what the cost in New York.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: And then much like when I campaigned for president of
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: my class in the fourth grade, free pizza on Fridays
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: for every New Yorker. Okay, we'll talk more about that
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: coming up. Don't you remember free pizzas that everybody else?
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: That's what you do. And then you say that you
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: scream the name of your mascot. Yeah.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: So apparently Bill was not the only one riveted by
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: the World Series. Nearly half of Canada's population watched Game seven.
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: Eighteen and a half million, or forty six percent of
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: canada estimated population tuned into at least part of the
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: game viewership peaked at fourteen million in the bottom of
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: the ninth inn and of course that's when the Blue
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: Jays had a chance to win in walkoff faction. And
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: then it was also in the US, it was the
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: most watched game since twenty seventeen. So the US audience
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: was twenty and a half and twenty five and a
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: half million, the most since Game seven between the Dodgers
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: and the Astros in twenty seventeen.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Keep in mind the Super Bowl is one hundred and
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: ten one hundred and fifteen million people that watched the
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl, a third of the entire United States and so.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Well, they don't have fun commercials during the World Series.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: That's true when they have all loftime show.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Also, also there's a lot of baseball, and one of
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: the things about football is sixteen games and then you
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: have the Super Bowl, and that's one game. It's not
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the best of anything. I mean, it's on any given day.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Forstening to David Vessay the other day on the station
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: talking about how these last two seasons have been like
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: the longest seasons ever for the Dodgers, and he's been
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: with them every moment of every with preseason everything.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Dodgers and they did that parade yesterday
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: which huge numbers of people came.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Out and yes, about two hundred thousand.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of excitement. Clayton Kershaw said goodbye. He
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: was going to go and immediately go and shave his
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: beard off. Pretty scraggly, isn't it?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Okay? Never mind heard, Yeah, there's beards and then there's beards.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: A lot of the guys do that though.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: They they grow them and then and then you get
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: to a certain point and it becomes a superstition too.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: They don't they don't trim them or shave.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Them fair enough.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, handle, you've got YouTube, YouTube, television, right,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: I do. Okay, So they're in battle with the Disney
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: folks and ABC and all of that and already missing.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: I guess Monday Night football would have been yesterday, right.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: So now the election day coverage would be a blackout
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: as well as Walt Disney owned channel stretches into a
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: second week of negotiations with YouTube.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: So where do you where are you going to get
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: the news tonight? Bill?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Well? Usually I record ABC News, which I'm not going
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: to be able to get, but I have NBC which
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: is still works and BBC still works and I watch
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: those Fox I still get, so CNN I still get.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: So it's ABC stuff that I'm not getting. But I
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: really rely on that big time.
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: Do you watch BBC because you like when they say
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: kowala lumpool?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, I actually I do. I do like BBC.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: Out kowala lumpool.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yep.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: So anyway, what Disney wanted to do was I have
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: YouTube restore TV coverage just for the election, and they said, no, thanks, now,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: don't come to terms. They always do, but in the meantime,
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: we just don't have ABC or ESPN.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Well, this one gets a half snap up.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Trump administration is committed to partially funding the Supplemental Nutrition
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Assistance Program known as SNAP or what used to be
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: called food Stamps, with a four point sixty five billion
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: dollar payment. They do say that using those emergency funds
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: to pay for the half SNAP benefits would take a
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: few weeks up to several months.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: That's not going to help anyone.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Of course, the federal judge had ordered the Trump administration
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: to use emergency funds to pay for SNAP, and they're
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: going to get about half of what they normally would get.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: This is where the president.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Boy, he walked this one backwards pretty quickly because of
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: the impasses going on between Republicans and Democrats. He had said,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: we're not going to release snap funds. There weren't any
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: snap funds to release. Well, they did have snap funds
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: enough for two weeks as opposed to a full month, and.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: He said, no, they don't have the money they do.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: And the fact is there are a lot of people
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: who receive these food stamps. You know, forty million I
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: think Americans rely on this and that's forty million people
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: that have gotten would have gotten two weeks, are getting
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: two weeks instead of a full month. But it doesn't
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: bode politically very well for the administration to withhold money
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: that is there.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: For emergency purposes.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And it initially a Trump administration said, this is not
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: an emergency. Emergencies are natural disasters. Running out of money
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: is not considered an emergency.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't see natural disaster though, dealing hurricane here it is.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: But you know what I'm saying, it's about people's shelter
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: and food.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Basically, a natural disaster is what cast people not to
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: have food exactly.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And so.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Otherwise if it was in a plane, if it was
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: on a beach where no one lived, no one would care.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: So of course unless people lived on.
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: The beach, it couldn't eat.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, that is That's about as big a natural disasters.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I think time it would.
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: Push the Democrats and ended up pushing him.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, all right, And a parent company, Tyland, has
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: been in the news quite a bit. Did you know
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: that if you have it during pregnancy that you're going
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: to be autistic and so is your kid and maybe
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: even a neighbor and a dog.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: So keep that, keep watch on that.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: But Huggies maker Kimberly Clark announced Monday that it would
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: buy Tyler's parent company, ken View, And uh, I think
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: that if you're looking at like fifty billion dollars in
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: this deal, and I have.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: No idea that was that big, it's huge, obvious, it's massive,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: And so this merger this some say that this is
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: because Trump administration is very open towards corporate acquisitions.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Very much so, very much so.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: And there I don't know if the Trump administration or
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: the FDA is still pushing Thailand.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: All to put the warning on the box. I think
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: that's up in the air.
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: I think it's still in progress as.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen a couple of I've seen a couple
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: of warnings that they're considering. One if you have a
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: male child, his scrot and will fall off if you
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: take Thailand all during pregnancy. That seems horrible, It does,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: doesn't it. That's the side effect I would justice left. Yeah, well, no,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: it's a stroke with the testicles, because it's kind of
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: hard to have your scrote fall off without the you
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: know what, that didn't even work to begin with. Okay,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: why we're going beyond that? I have no idea.
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: Now I'm curious.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: No, it was horrible. It was horrible. Oh, here's another one.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: There's another great fdy.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Amy wondering when the rotting teeth are going to start
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: showing up. The Food and Drug Administration has moved to
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: limit the use of fluoride.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: To kids under three.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: It says the doesn't it doesn't seek the removal of
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: products from the market, as had been discussed at some point,
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: but it does no longer recommend for children younger than
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: three and those who are older but don't risk serious
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: risk of tooth decay to not get it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in light of every single dental organization, school professional
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: organization scholars who say that fluoride is absolutely required, mandated
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: so the kids don't get cavities or as many cavities.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: When I was and I you know, I grew up
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: here southern California and Los Angeles specifically, and there was
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: an issue as to whether fluoride was going to be
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: added to the city water, and that was are you
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: ready for this? There was a fight that went on
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: for months and months to not have fluoride added to
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: the water. You know why because that was a Communist
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: plot to bring fluoride into the water system. I mean,
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: people are crazy when.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: It comes to this.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: And of course you have now you have Robert Kennedy
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: with the FDA saying oh no, no, we want we
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: don't want fluoride for kids under the age of three.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Well look now New York might turn Communist. So yeah,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: which are worked? Yeah, yeah right, it could be. Dentists
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: every major dental organization has said that the FDA is crazy.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: But then we know that already. The piece of garbage
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: out of the Cabazon area, a man who killed his
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: seven month old son, Emmanuel Harrow, was sentenced to what
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I feel is a Measley twenty five years to life
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: in prison just yesterday. So if you remember, they reported
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: it missing back in August, but its body has not
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: been found. He's presumed to be dead.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the little one.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now it didn't matter that he got twenty five
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: years to life. He could have gotten a month because
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: he's not gonna last that long.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, They're gonna to put him in protective custody.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: So he's going to be effectively in solitary for the
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: rest of his life, and if he goes out in
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: general population, he will be looking over his shoulder every
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: single moment, knowing that the shank was going to come
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: and will.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Meanwhile, the child's mother, Rebecca, has pleaded not the ulti
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: murder Bols case.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens on that one.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Let the rebuilding begin.
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: So, there was a hospital in Israel that's effered heavy
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: damage from the Iranian missile fire in June. It was
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: struck June nineteenth, at the height of the twelve day
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: war between Israel and Iran. Canadian Israeli billionaire Sylvan Adams
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: says he's going to donate one hundred million dollars to
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: rebuild at the Israeli hospital. They're going to answer Iran
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: by building back bigger and better, he said.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: And the medicine in Israel is absolutely world class. I mean,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: there's no question.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: It is interesting that the news is that one hundred
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: million dollar donation is going to build a hospital in
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Israel and we have not yet heard of Well they figure,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many billions upon tens of billions
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: of dollars is going to take to rebuild Gaza that
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: we don't know it's and it's not going to be individuals.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: It's going to be governments. It's going to be the
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Mid East governments that are be putting money into it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: It's I just find this well, you know them Jews?
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: What can I tell you?
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: Don't get me started? Am I right?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I know you anti semit you heyes, I'm all. I
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: haven't been accused of being a self loathing Jew. And
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know how long. What is wrong with you people?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: What is wrong with you people that are listening?
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Everything this is uh, you know, just goes to show
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: you the devil is in the details. Education Department is
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: sued over controversial loan forgiveness rule. You've got critics coming
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: up and looking at this rule, saying that the department
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: is basically trying to exclude organizations that work with LGBTQ
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: plus individuals that work with immigrants, that work with trans
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: gender children from the program. And two lawsuits were filed
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: just yesterday against the Trump administration after the Education Department
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: published this student debt forgiveness rule.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: And now there's some new rules that say that employers
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: that have a substantial illegal purpose will not be eligible
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: for the program. Illegal purpose meaning helping trans people.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: But that's either based on the Trump Oh.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: And then finally a story that should have been out
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: of Japan but is out of France instead.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Ooh la la.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: A Chinese online retailer has fallen out of favor with France.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: French authorities say they might bat block access to Shine.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: I don't even know what this was, but it's a
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: online retailer, don't dummy.
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: Seriously.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: It emerged that the online fast fashion giant has been
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: selling sex dolls that look like kids.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: What that is?
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: That is tough, Well, that's what they're saying, and it
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: could be I mean, it could be interpreted, so they
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: shut it right down. Normally, the French sex dolls are
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: great because what they do is have the appropriate anatomical areas.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: For example, the penis of the doll shaped like a
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: bag yette and you know it comes from France.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: And then you can get with the female ones with
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: or without armpit hair.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: That's very nice option. It's a very nice option. Are sick?
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I know?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Thank you. We take that as
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: a compliment. All Right, we're done. Guys, you've been listening
