• 1:59
  Speaker 3: be here next week. You'll last about a week, as
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I do with everybody else. Sounds about right. Yeah, they
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: took it away from me for some reason. I don't
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: do that. Yeah, you know what else you don't do? What? Mute? Oh?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: There you go. You're right, Okay, Mario, here's the way
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: it works, all right, because I forget. Hold on, let
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: me mute here, Mario, I forget to mute a lot,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: because I don't quite understand how this works. And I
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: have a mute button where I am, and you know
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not in studio. I am far far away as
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Neil is, far far away as Amy, and will have
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to be there unfortunately for you guys. So what you
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: have to tell me if I am if I'm needed
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: to mute just before I go on the air, coming
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: back from a commercial or starting another segment. Okay, you
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: got a bill? Okay, God, I like that attitude. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: really do. It'll fade that. It always does, your excellency
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: works or a lot of that. Yeah, okay, yes, exactly,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: all right, Amy, you had said earlier, I was listening
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to bits and pieces as I was preparing the show
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: and asking whether or not I had watched either of
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the debates, either the gubernatorial or the mayoral debate, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you questioned it, right, yes, okay, Well what do you
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: think if you had to.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Guess, I think that you did not watch.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: That is absolutely correct. Now, I have certainly looked at it,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and I have read it and bits and pieces, so
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I sort of know what's going on. But more importantly,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I sort of don't care. As I've said many times
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: this time around.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Why do you not care? These are the people who
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: are going to lead our state and the city of La.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Well, because much more than Trump will. Yeah, because the
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: state of California and the city of LA cannot be
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: led ungoverned. And I'm like many people, and I never
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: thought I would reach this point. I am so totally
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: disgusted with politics that I actually pulled back, which is
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: horrific for someone who is involved with the morning talk show.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: It's it's actually a shame not that I care, but
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: it's actually a shame and so much shame on this
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: morning show. Well there's always shame. Shame sh Well, yeah, no,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you say, don't point to no, don't point to me
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and say shame. You point to me and you say guilt. Guilt. Guilt.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Shame is for Catholics.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: But the good thing is you move. Guilt is for Jews.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: What you pick things up. You moved to Orange County
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: and live in a very nice area. You don't have
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: to worry about LA politics.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I certainly do. No, I still have to worry
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: about LA politics. I do.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I grew up in Los Angeles. I came to LA
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: when I was five years old. Been in LA most
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of my life. A few stands here and there where
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I lived on the West Side and went to CA
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: for a year and a half to go to school.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: But for the most part there I am. What was
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the timing, I don't know. It was just I wanted
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: to see Canada during the late sixties.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know the names of people, but there were
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a few. There was quite an interesting start with Americans
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: p and ends with a ussy nicely said no, no anyway,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: for the most part. My sojourn has been in LA
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: for the most part, so I'm generally interested. But I
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: got to am I the only one? I mean, Amy,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you still are on top of this, Because you still
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: are on top of this. This is certainly your wheelhouse
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: looking at these campaigns. And do you before we get
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to the news, do you feel bad that you are
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: not allowed to jump in and give your opinion as
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to what the political flavor is and tell people what
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: you believe in and which it happened, because you, I mean,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: you report on what it is, but you can't throw
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: in your opinion. I have no idea who you had
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: to vote for. I know who Neil's going to vote for.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I certainly know who Ann is going to vote for.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: Still, no, it's fine.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I'm just used to it, Okay.
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I try. I try not to take sides as
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: much as possible, and I see, you know, good and
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: bad on both sides.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: So yeah, euro was okay, thank you very much, totally
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: there you are. Last night I was at an event.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I was speaking at an event in the deepest, darkest
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: of Orange County, and there were people there and a
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: fair number had been listening to me This show for
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: over thirty years, and we went back in time and
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: a few of us got into a political discussion. Man,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: it was egg shell walking time for sure. Yeah, Bill,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you are so conservative. Bill, you are so liberal, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: and you've gotten so liberal it's just ridiculous to go No,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: not really, it's not the same anyway. So I was
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: at this event, so I just wanted to point that out.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: It's a good excuse to say I actually didn't listen
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: to the debate, but obviously following up on what's happening,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: and then we'll have that Amy jump in. So let's
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: do it. Okay, guys sign for handle on the news
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: with Amy Neil and me lead Starry nitya raman noodle
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: traded all kinds of barbs and Amy. Do you think
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: that this round of politicizing both the governor and the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: mayor's race are particularly pointed and mudslinging more so than
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: usual or is it right in line with the way
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: it normally runs.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: I think it's more in line with how it runs.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: I think the difference this time is that they keep
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: bringing up Trump. Normally, when you're talking about a governor's race,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: you're talking about the state and not so much in
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: the in the mayor's race, but in the governor's debates,
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Trump keeps coming up, and a couple of them have
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: called the candidates out and said, this isn't about Trump.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: So that's the interesting thing is that they're taking it
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: up to you know, the national.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Lawkay, fair enough, And by the way, it is all
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: about Trump across the board. I mean, if you look
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: at the state races in Ohio and Illinois, I mean,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: who would ever pay attention to state races in Illinois
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: or Ohio? I mean, I don't know who's running for
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: state assembly. Everybody was looking and those who follow Donald
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Trump or Donald Trump himself won overwhelmingly, showing he still
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: has enormous power and controls the Republican Party unlike unlike
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: many many well, unlike any presidential candidate I've ever seen,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: unlike any president I've ever seen in terms of control.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: So we'll talk more about the mayoral race the debate
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: last night later on, and now, Amy, let's go to
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the governor's race.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, let's do that, which we were just talking
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: about that a little bit. They talked about affordability and
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: sanctuary policies. There's a lot of that and whether certain
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: candidates had the experience needed. And of course the moderators
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: warned them not to get into a food fight, but
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: they didn't waste any time going after each other. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: San Jose mayor Matt Mayheon went right after the Republicans,
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: saying we don't need the leadership that mega candidates on
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: the stage are offering. There again bringing up the president,
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: and then he went after Steyer, who's Democrat, and said
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: we don't need the leadership of a billionaire who's now
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: against almost everything that he's made his money on.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: So there was anything out of it. I don't think
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: the needle moved at all. I mean, California is California.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Does anybody bother? You know, for example, we don't get
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: any national money for congressional races. We just don't. We don't.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I mean in terms of advertising, because it's a moot point.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: You know, Michigan is crazy making Wisconsin. If you're in
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: the media in Wisconsin or Michigan, for example, there are
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: no commercials to be bought. You cannot buy advertising on
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: radio or television or billboards, zero availability because everything is
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: sold out. Because that is how contingents content content contentions
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: con contentions, contentious, it is there. You'd like to buy
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: a vowel? Yeah, there are.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Styer's got a lot of ads, and Besara's running a
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: lot of ads. I haven't seen any from Hilton or Bianco.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Well, we're talking about statewide. Nationally, they don't bother. And
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: then I can see Democrats fighting each other, Republicans not
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: so much so. Well, Well, as I just said, you
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: literally go to any of those states, Bellweather states, Swing states,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna see unbelievable amounts of advertising. Have you
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: noticed that our sales manager yesterday was on the street
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: corner with a big sign that said, will broadcast your
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: commercial for food?
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Oh nice, We're gonna get one of those those inflatable
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: swinging arm guys on the corner to advertise for us, like.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: They have a lot of bull A lot of bullhorns
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: are being sold around here. All right, we're coming back.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: six forty.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: Let's continue on. Okay, fair enough, all right, you heard
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: Amy talking about this earlier. This is good news, actually
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: better late than never. Federal authorities said they arrested eighteen
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: people yesterday on charges related with selling illicit drugs, including fentanyl,
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: methanphetamine around MacArthur Park. This is not a secret forever.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: We've been looking at this place, Decline. It's densely populated.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: It's immigrant neighborhoods all around there, west of downtown LA,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: across from Langers. If you want to go, get the
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: number nineteen. I highly recommend it. So federal immigration authorities
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: and National Guard made a brief but mighty show of
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: force for you. Remember last summer got bass out there.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Of course the drug dealers didn't. But yeah, so they're
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: arresting a lot of people. They seized forty pounds of
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: fentanyl from a single home out there. And I drive
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: by it quite often, quite often because it's not far
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: from my home, and it is filthy and beat up.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: I was talking to my aunt not long ago and
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: she said she used to go there, you know, on
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: dates and stuff like that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Used to be a family park. Now it's filthy. I
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: don't know. Homeless Beech, Yeah, Venice Beach, but it's not dangerous.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Venice Beach isn't dangerous the way is it. I've been
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: in a long time.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Venice Beach has had some gang issues and all kinds
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: of stuff. Yeah, and I loved Venice Beach. I used
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: to go there all the time too.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: But you know the part with the weightlifting part where
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: all those homosexual men who enjoy weightlifting and there.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I don't think they're homosexual, but the guys like you who.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Sat out and watched them maybe Okay, very good. Also,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I don't understand Langers, which is a great deli by
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the way, I mean it's really fantastic. Yeah, I don't
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: know how they keep in business. I don't. I mean
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: you need an armed escort to go in and out
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: of Langers. Well, they complained and sat down.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: They were going to close, and they sat down with
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: Bass because it got so bad.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: I was just looking up something there Langers. You mentioned
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: the deli owner and the property owner are now calling
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: on Mayor Bass and the candidates to cancel a needle
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: and drug pipe giveaway contract that is going on at
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: MacArthur Park.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Sartoside drug needle, drug pipe and drugs they're
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: going to give away.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: I don't think. I don't think they're giving away the drugs,
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: but they are giving away the needles and the drug pipes.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Huh have those drugs safely. Yes, that's exactly the point.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Okay, can't you get arrested with the if you had
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: those in your paraphernalia?
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, you could accept if you're using it for it's
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: got Bass's name from the city. It is very very
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: strange stuff the way this is done, and the argument is,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's a good argument. You're far we're far
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: better having you safely inject all of those drugs as
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: opposed to spreading hepatite to hepatitis C because nobody does that,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: has any money, and the taxpayer is going to pay
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: half a million dollars so for treatment. They're always working.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: With Hostess to give out doughnuts and things like that
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: to people with diabetes.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: It's gonna okay, basically, there you.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Go Lutnick versus the lawmakers. Howard Lutnick has acknowledged that
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: he visited Jeffrey Epstein's island seven years after he claimed
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: to have severed ties with the convicted sex offender. The
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Commerce Secretary had a closed door meeting with the House
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: Oversight and Government Reform Committee yesterday. Again closed doors, so
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: we don't actually get to hear everything that was said.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: After the meeting, Representative James Walkinshaw of Virginia said they
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: deserve to see the sweat on the Secretary's brow as
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: he struggles to answer basic questions about his lives to
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: the American people. That comment is that it comes because
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: he wants to have public.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Hearings, right, and since you have a Republican committee chair,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: although a comer is you know he's pushing it against
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I Guesstick because you know the line was wrong. We
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: talked about this. This is beyond politics when we're talking
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: about Jeffrey Epstein, this is these are child predators and
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Epstein was a not only a rapist but also facilitated
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: other people to rape children. And it was just crazy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: And let Nick just out and out lied, just out here,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and he will not say I lied. He just keeps
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: on deflecting and deflecting and deflecting. And frankly, I don't
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know how he stays in the good graces
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: of the president because he's he's I was never there,
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I gave it up years before. And then he's there
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: with his family. You can't say stuff like that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: Isn't it even weirder that his family was there on
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: the island. Isn't this the sex Island.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, I don't I don't believe when
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: people bring brought their families over there was any of
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: that going on. I think Epstein openly did that, you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: with big billboards, come on in, You'll get fourteen year
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: olds to have sex with you. Okay, let's take a
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: break and we'll do one more. Now, let's do it now,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: one more Epstein story. Quickly on that note, here is
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: a note.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: The federal judge has released a suicidal suicide note rather
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein. This was that weird one
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: we talked about that was sealed for years as part
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: of another criminal case for his cellmate. So the note
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: says this, they investigated me for months, found nothing. That's
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: how the note begins, adding that the result was charges
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: going back many years. It is a treat to be
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: able to choose one's time to say goodbye, the note continued,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: What you want me to do? Bust out crying. The
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: note reads no fun. It concludes with the words underlined
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: not worth it. And this is the note that was
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: found by his selly, Nicholas Tartaglioni, and it was discovered
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen after Epstein was found unresponsive the first
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: time with that strip of cloth, and then later was
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: found dead weeks later for the final time.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a story behind that, and that's coming up
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: an eight thirty. A lot of politics involved, and then
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: something I don't understand, but I'll ask that at eight thirty.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: So stay tuned.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: six forty.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: More Handle on the news, Amy nel Me.
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: If you like a nice tan body, you're gonna like this.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Robert F.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: Kennedy Junior posted a statement on X before the election
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: promising to end the US FDA's aggressive suppression of alternative
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: therapies like raw milk, iverbectum, psychedelics, and somewhat perplexingly, sunshine
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Well the Rule, a proposed FDA rule that would have
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: banned minors from using tanning beds, has been withdrawn.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Of course, of course, why not no vaccines, but certainly
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: tanning beds. Go figure, aren't they coming up with some
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: kind of character to push it, you know, cartoon Keller
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: character melanomamel.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: To uh to say, hey, this is great for you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Come that is so stupid. This whole thing is stupids,
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: going into a a sun machine.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I know, it's insanity. Okay, boy, you know we're screwed,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Uh, this is one of those stories that has haunted
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: people for a long time, those of us who care
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: the there's a new search warrant in Kristen Smart's case.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: If you remember, it's decades.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Is it thirty years since this happened? God, I think
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: it is. Yeah, nearly thirty years. Thirty years yeah, so
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety six. Yeah, but she the body was never found. However,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: there's new warrants, search warrants and investigation going on. Not
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: really tipping their hand as to what, but they did
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: serve search warrants as part of the ongoing probe into
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the location of her body. Thirty years later, well cold
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: case files, huh yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I mean at this point it's about some sort of
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: closure and conclusion, I imagine.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: But wow, the push to keep the airport open, you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: the Santa Monica Airport where all those jets fly in
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: and out of Supporters are making a pitch to keep
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: it open because city leaders have announced they're planning to
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: close the airport for good. December thirty first, twenty twenty eight,
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: the historic airfield opened in nineteen twenty three. It was
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: called clover Field at that time. It's one of America's
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: oldest operating airports. Supporters say the closure will result in
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: a loss of jobs and revenue for the city. They
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: also say the airport can help with emergency preparedness for
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: the upcoming fire season, and they need that airport open.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, how about the subsequent fire season and the
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: fire season after that.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: That's why they say it needs to stay open.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Right, I'm talking about the argument that for the next
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: fire season it needs to be a staging area. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: of course we don't get enough information about that. Are
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: studies being done or they have civil engineers going to
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: going at it, and it's it's hard to shut down
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: anything that's public, that's public land.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: Well, the city of Santa Monica I said the land's
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: going to be converted into an open greens with sports
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: areas and cultural facilities. It's one hundred and ninety two acres.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: That's a big piece of land. Disneyland News Neil, we
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: love Autopia.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: This is one of the original rides there, gas powered
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: attraction at Disney's Disneyland's Tomorrowland, and they've been talking about
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: this since twenty twenty four.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Can we just say it's about time?
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they want to switch to electric. So Bob
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Gerr designed the original mock one and now I think
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: it's up to Monk seven or something. The body style
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: and stuff like that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I remember as a kid. I was there a couple
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: of years after it opened, and I was a little one,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: and you could smell those engines hundreds of yards away.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I mean just that's part of some with diesel fumes.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: So when you went as a kid, did you just
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: wait in case someone got hit and then you'd go, Hi,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: my name's Bill handle Esqui.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I did. Early on.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I knew what I was going to do, and I'd go, hey, listen,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be a lawyer in fifteen years. Why
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: don't just hang on and here's my card. But it
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: was in those days it wasn't even there, weren't even tracks.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: No, they have that bumper in the middle. You could
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: drive anywhere and everywhere.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: That was great. Thanks. So anyway, it's gonna be electric,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: which makes a lot of sense. Amy's right. So I'm
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: surprised that it took this long. I really am.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: I will tell you. It has gotten bad, and maybe
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: it's always been that way, but with all of those
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: little what are the lawnmower engines running? The fumes coming
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: off of the autopia are pretty bad, so cut them down.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: California farmers are getting ready to destroy about four hundred
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: and twenty thousand peach trees. Why because del Monte Foods
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: closed its canneries in Modesto and Houston in April, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: that left a lot of multi generational farmers with a
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: lot of peaches and nothing to do with them. They
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: lost twenty year contracts tied to Klingstone peaches, and that
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: leaves some of the farmers facing about five hundred and
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: fifty million dollars in losses of revenue.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Make a cobbler, Yeah, that's make a big cobbler. That's
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: big cobbler.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: I love peach. This makes me so sad.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, peaches are great. It's one of my favorite fruits.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Summer fruits, pitfruits, fruits that have pits in them, stone fruits. Yes.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Matter of fact, why don't we have a pit stop hose.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on Demand from KFI AM
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: six forty.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: We finished Handle on the news with Amy King Nil
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Savedra and MOI Bill handle.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Interesting turn of events here, Google, Microsoft and x Ai
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: are going to share any of their unreleased versions of
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: their AI models with the government and this is supposed
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: to curb cybersecurity threats.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: And the like.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced this. So
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: this partnership is really centering around anthropics very powerful new
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: mythos AI model as people have concerns, the government has
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: concerns about as impact on cybersecurity. So we shall see
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: how this goes down. But it's moving so damn fast.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Well, And that's the problem is technology is ahead of
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: the law anyway. The legal system always follows technology, either
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: rather quickly or way behind.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: For years because you have to guard it. But you
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: have to know what it is before you get it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: You have to understand how far do you go, what
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: do you allow? Because there are all kinds of ethical concerns.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I go back to my career in my legal career
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: in surrogacy, for example, man the technology was there years
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: before they actually dealt with the implications.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: The Battle of the ballots. A judge based in Atlanta
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: has ruled that the Department of Justice can keep possession
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: of twenty twenty election ballots seized during an FBI search
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: in January, the judge rejected Fulton County's request to return
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: the original copies of the seas material. So that means
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: the FBI is going to be able to keep more
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: than six hundred boxes of ballots from the twenty twenty
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: election as it pursues a criminal investigation into whether election
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: records were not properly retained or whether residents in Fulton
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: County were defrauded out of a fair election.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: So here we go. It's going to be another investigation
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: and resources being spent on this fraudulent election of twenty twenty.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I wonder when that's all going to stop. Oh, by
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: the way, any criminal, any criminal activity, the statute limitations
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: is gone, but that doesn't matter. We still want to
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: go after everybody involved because it's fraud. It's fraud. It's fraud.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: And you know, just at what point, you know, I
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: tell I say to the president, what point? Give it up? Already?
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: You're the president, do you understand, you're sitting in the
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: White House? You got it? Nope, it was fraud.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: He said it this week. You know, the election that
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: I actually won. I was like, really, it's like six
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: years later.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: I know, go figure all right, that Dutch cruise ship
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: we talked about with the hantavirus on board, apparently they've
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: now confirmed that the cases on that ship have risen
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: to five.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: So says the World Health Organization. Yeah, we talked to
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: doctor Jim Keiney yesterday. This is one vicious, vicious disease,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: forty percent mortality rate. But it looks like it is controlled,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: or at least it's only within one area and that's
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: this ship. Although they're looking and three dead, five habit
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: and they went off Cape Verdi in Africa, which were
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: not allowed to get off the ship. Now they have
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: taken people off the ship and everybody involves in these
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: hazmat suits. I mean, it's a hell of a story.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Merger doesn't necessarily equal more money. Warner Brothers Discovery found
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: that out. They released their first quarter earnings, which included
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: a two point nine billion dollar loss. The amount includes
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: one point three billion in restructuring expenses. Contributing to the
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: net loss was the two point eight billion dollar termination
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: fee they had to pay to Netflix when Netflix bowed
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: out of the bidding and it went to Paramount Sky
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Dance instead.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Actually it went to I have a little bit confused
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: the I think Netflix was asked to pay it, but
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Paramount sky Dance picked up the cost. It's just and
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: this is what happens when you when you have these
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: merger talks that disappeared.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but Warner still has to carry the obligation on
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: the right balance on this book in case the deal
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: falls apart.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and these things now it's it's like a It's
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: like when you sell real estate and a deposit is
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: put down and it's hard money. It says if you
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: don't go through with it, that that deposit is done.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: And so this is one of the situations where I'm
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I'm involved in negotiations with you, or I want to
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: buy your company, and you spend money, I spend money,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: but if I don't go through with it, this amount
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: of money will now be paid to me. And that's
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: exactly what happened in the billions of dollars. Okay, we're done, guys.
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: Oh man, well I missed the caning story Singapore can
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: cane kids.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: I thought they were doing that.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Not kids. There was an there was an argument about
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: these are nine year olds. Yeah, as young as nine
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: year olds. Yeah, so there's so I'm fine with cane
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: nine years old.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: What's a year old one American that got caned many
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: many many years ago because he brought drugs or something there.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: I thought it was because he spit gun them out
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: on the side.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I think, so true, you bring you get hanged in Singapore.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I just I just thought it. And that's for bullying.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a weird place, Singapore. Okay, we're done, guys,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: coming up, Well, last night we had a mayoral debate,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: we had a governor debate, and we're going to go
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: through some of it. And it's no surprise. It's no surprise.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I'm getting so disgusted with all of this. I used
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: to love this stuff and now not so much anymore.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: But it's important because we're going to see who our
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: new governor is going to do nothing, is going to
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: do and our new mayor who's going to do nothing.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: So we've got plenty to talk about. Five am sixty.
