  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six fortys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Neil.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why your TikTok videos really didn't work out,
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: because you're really hot and creative and other people may
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: not know you're hot, but I don't know. I think
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: you're pretty hot. I think you're pretty hot. I think
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: you're pretty hard.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Bill Handle, and.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: It is KFI. It's Wednesday. It's a home day.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Handle Morning Crew on November fifth, the day after the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: big election which Democrats literally swept across the entire country,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: and I'm going to talk more about that on at
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock. And as I'm looking to see what happened,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I think a couple of major points came out and
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna explore those a little deeper.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Coming up. One of them that it looks like.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: That Trump wins or Trump people do not go beyond
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Trump to vote. In other words, he is a singular
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: person and an outlier. It's all of his endorsements mean nothing.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: What matters to MAGA people is only the president. Okay,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: that's one takeaway. The other takeaway is there are literally
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: three ways and you need all three to determine how
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a race is going to go between a Republican and
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a Democrat, or, in the case of Prop fifty Democratic
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: leaning Prop fifty Republican meeting leaning against. Two things or
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: three things. One pulling straight out polling. The other one
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: is reading the temperature of what the electorate is now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: putting your finger in the air and seeing which way
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the wind is blowing. The third is how often and
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: how strongly does the president say that the election is
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: rigged and it's a scam. And the more he pushes
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that it's a scam and it's rigged, the more in
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: trouble the Republicans are because that's him reading the wind.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: So it's so we got a lot to talk about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: So we'll be doing that a little bit later on
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the post election day.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: All right, quick, hello to one and all. A good morning, Neil.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Willie Wolf Esquire, Yes, sir and Kno, good morning,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: good morning Bill. And by the way, in terms of Esquire,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: are you are you surprised I have not been disbarred yet, Neil,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Hell's to the yes, Yes, that's true.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: They're actually every Saturday.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I have actually been turned into the
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: state bar three times and them to investigate based on
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the quality of my legal advice for real and the
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: state bar it was hilarious, and they and they have
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: to open up an investigation, and they have to. When
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: someone complains, an investigation is opened up, and then that
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: person or that organization is replied to by a state bar,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: by a state bar adjuster, if you will, or an
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: individual who deals with this and then says, we have
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: opened up investigation in and then the name of the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: person and we will inform you.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: As to what happened.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: In all three cases, when the complaint read we are
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: complaining because of a handle's legal advice, the response was
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: what legal advice.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: That answers?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: That doesn't it there They've said that the fore.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Report has better legal advice.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely, Well, Neil, you're the producer of the Jesus Show.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: How often have I pitched to give marginal spiritual advice?
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I would let you get near that program, do it now?
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Okay? All right? Will good morning?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: No God, Yeah, it's true. Oh, it's a great story.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And then there's Amy good morning, Amy, Hi, And then
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: there is Ann good morning and good morning. Yeah that
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't know if I shared this story
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: with Todd Spitzer, who is a friend of the show
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: and a friend of mine. For the DA of Orange County,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: was a screener. He started as a screener on Handle
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: on the Law. That was his foray into showbiz. Anyway,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: we've been friends ever since, and when he ran for
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: county supervisor, he asked me to in fact introduce him
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: to this very conservative Republican religious group of people. And
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: he said, Bill, you know, I'm Jewish, but I really
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: downplay it, you know, I soft pedal it, So would
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: you please please not mention it. I looked at him
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: and just stared at him, and he said I shouldn't
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: have said that, should I? And I went, Nope, absolutely not.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: So I try to know there's two parts of this story.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: So I introduced him, Ladies and gentlemen, is my honor
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: to introduce Todd the Jew Spitzer.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So that was one thing that I did.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: The other thing is, during the course there was a
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: cocktail party kind of thing. I ended up with three
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: nuns who were there arguing whether God existed or not.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: My position was, there is no God to three nuns.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I wish I had recorded that conversation. Okay, the jew Spitzer.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: And King Nuns cry.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they actually argued with me. I mean, come on,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: come on, guys, Yeah, please ask one of them out.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: That's very funny. That's actually very full.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Listen, let's just discuss this over a drink. How about
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: we'll go half. How about yeah it's wine, but it's
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: a man of Schevitz.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, we are that's very funny.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Actually, all right, guys, we have plenty to talk about today,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: for sure, So let's start with handle on the news
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: with Amy, Neil and me lead story. Well. Prop fifty
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: past overwhelmingly two to one, and the the only issue
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: was how much was it going to pass by? How
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: much it was going to win by? And two to
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: one is was at the upper upper echelons of the predictions.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know if most of the pundits said did
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: not think it was going to go that much or high,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So we'll dive into that. Usually I don't ask people
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: how they voted, but I'm going to on this one,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and please feel free to say I don't want to
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: tell you, Bill, and I'm not going to ask Amy
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: because I can't. But Neil, I'm guessing you voted no
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: based on the conversations we've had absolutely, okay, but cone.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: But under no no point did I think that that
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: was going to sway?
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: How?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like a vote for a Democrat or Republican
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: any presidential in this state.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I want to know.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, fair enough, Kno, how did you vote? If
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: you want to share, you voted no?
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Wow?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Will? How did you vote? Or Will is recording something
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and thought was a freeway? That's true? Well said, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and you voted yes? Is that true? Okay? I voted,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and I voted yes.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Not only do I believe in jerry mandering, I just
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: like the way the maps look. They're just kind of
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: they look like a very complicated puzzle.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: They're not so complicated.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: They're all blue.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Uh well yeah, but they're were within the complication. They're
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: you know, one of these things, and they are all blue.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I think I don't know how many six congressional districts
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: in the state of California.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Forty three.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: It's forty three to nine right now, so it'll be
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: forty nine or forty eight to four.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's not enough for Democrats.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: And it's not because of the overwhelming number in California
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: California is so blue it doesn't matter. It's replacing a
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Republican Republican congress person with a Democrat because Republicans have
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: a razor thin majority. And that's what this is about.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: On both sides. By the way, both sides are doing
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: exactly that. Okay, moving on, and I'll talk more about
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: this at seven am.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: If he can make it there, mom Donnie can make
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: it anywhere, Okay. Democratic socialist Zorn Mandami, thirty four years old,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: has been elected mayor of New York City. He beat
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: former Governor Andrew Cuomo. It was like fifty points something
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: to forty one point something, and then like seven or
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: eight percent for Curtis Sliwa. Mom Donnie said, last night
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: we are breathing in the air of a city that
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: has been reborn. He said he wishes Andrew Cuomo Cuomo
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: only the best in private life, but let tonight be
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: the final time I utter his name as we turn
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: the page on politics that abandons the many and answers
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: only to the few.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: What do you think is going to happen when he
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: first when he has sworn in, and the first thing
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: he does is sign a declaration changing the color of
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the flag of New York City to red and they
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: play the Internacional at his inauguration.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Do you do you remember all the hubub I wasn't alive,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: but all the hubbub about Kennedy because he was a Catholic.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Oh God, yes, oh yes, I do that. The poet
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: was going to tell him what to do.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Uh. He was the first Catholic president that
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: we've had. Uh.
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: He wasn't a democratic socialist. Uh no, he was, he was,
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: he was.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: He actually was pretty conservative as as a Democrat.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: He was. He was.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a Cold War warrior. He was not
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: big on civil rights as his brother Robert Kennedy. And
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Robert Kennedy, who is the dad of the Crazy Man,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: actually ran the campaign. He ran Kennedy's campaign, And let
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: me tell you how far it went. There was a
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: rally that was going to happen, uh in the basement
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: of a Catholic church, and they canceled the rally because
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: of the fact that it was in a church, in
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: the basement of a church, because of the backlash that
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: was going to happen.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Straight.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: Oh man, he considered a pretty radical rightist.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, we're a very conservative Democrat.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Those were the days when Democrats were it was Yeah,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the polarization simply didn't exist. Oh. Also, do you know
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that Kennedy won by maybe one hundred thousand votes across
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the country almost nothing, And most of those votes he
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: won by were dead people in Cook County cemetery because
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Richard Bailey Daily, the mayor of Chicago, who was very
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: close to Kennedy's dad in the days of the bootlegging.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: In any case, after Kennedy won by this hair and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you have to give Richard Nixon credit for this one.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: He could have called for a recount because of the law,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and he refused to do it. He goes, I'm not
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: going to put the country through this. That was Richard Dickson.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Too soon to put him through something else.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's what Richard Ninston did. I mean, you
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: have to give him a lot of credit for that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: In any case, if you asked, especially after the assassination,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: how many people voted for Kennedy. Every single person in
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: America voted for Kennedy, they all like, oh, yeah, I
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: voted for them.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, It's like you go to France. You know
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: how many.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: People were after World War Two were in the French Resistance.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I was, I was, I was in the French resistance.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: There were four people in the French resistance. Okay, that
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: was it. So I just wanted to share with you
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: how crazy it has been. So Manai Wins considers himself
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: a social socialist democratic socialist, and I don't think it's
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: going to go that far because sitting behind the desk
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: is a very different animal than going out and campaigning.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: It really is. There's reality that hits all right.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, so Democrats, as Handel's been saying, and you've heard
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: on the news all morning, victory as Trump blames GOP
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: losses on the shut down, you've got Democrat.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Craps that was not on purpose.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, people think that micrats swept statewide contests in Virginia,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: New Jersey, here in California and Pennsylvania, even racking up
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: victories maybe in lower profile races across across the board.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: There were an occasional Republican. This was a sweep.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: But yeah, absolutely, to say different would be uh, dishonest.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: But everybody thinks it's a repudiation of the Trump agenda,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: which you can't you know, unsee. But I love the
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: fact that Trump said is because he's not on the ballot.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: You know what, I have to tell you. There's validity
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, but that crazy, but that when he's but he's
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: right when he's on the ballot Republicans. When when he's
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: not on the ballot, the Democrats are win.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: There is no Republican party. There's trump Ism.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's basically true. That also is true. So
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: both are not exclusive or not mutually exclusive.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: Amy horrific cargo plane crash happened at Muhammad Ali International
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Airport in Louisville, Kentucky. A UPS cargo plane was trying
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: to take off on its way to Honolulu, and you
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: could see in video flames on the plane's left wing
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: and a trail of smoke, and then it tried to
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: get off the ground, didn't make it and crashed and
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: exploded into a huge fireball. And now they've just updated
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: it and now it's nine people were killed, three on
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: board because it was a cargo plane, and then another
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: six on the ground.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it never made it past one hundred and seventy
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: five feet in the air. I mean literally just lifted
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: off and then went right into the ground. I was
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: listening to an expert, aviation expert saying yesterday, the size
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: of that fireball was so extraordinary that he thought that
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: it hit a fuel depot, you know, one of those
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: tank areas that are under the ground. He said, that's
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the only way that this could have been that big
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: of a fireball.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Well, if you're just lifting off, wouldn't you have full
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: You would, but not to that extent.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you would, you would, you'd be it'd be very full.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: But again he said, notwithstanding that, all right, we do
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: one more and then we'll take a break.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: All right, more remains, unfortunately or fortunately of Hostages and
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Gaza have been turned over. I say that because the
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: gruesome reality is there remains. They are now in Israel.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: It is said by Hamas that they recovered the body
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: of an Israeli soldier there in Gaza, and they handed
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: over the remains. Israel statement did not indicate whether the
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: remains were of a soldier or not.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: At this point, and it's going back and forth.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Hamas returns remains in Israel, then hands Hamas back remains.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Bizarre that they keep remains.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Usually when you have opposing sides, they release the dead
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: to the other side for burial. I mean they are
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: not held as hostages the bodies of soldiers or civilians.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's really that whole war is crazy over there,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: completely nuts.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: Sounds like some but he didn't do their homework on this.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: A series of loopholes quietly negotiated by the insurance industry
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: have neutralized requirements by the state that would have resulted
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: in many homes being covered by traditional insurance companies. That's
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: according to a report by The New York Times. But
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: apparently the New York Times says this rule to keep
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: homeowners insured had all these loopholes in it, and it
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: allowed the insurance companies to cancel insurance policies and also
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: jack up rights.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Any surprise the insurance industry is that powerful. Any surprise
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: at all?
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Well, shouldn't the insurance Commissioner of California caught these loopholes?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I think he negotiated those loopholes.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: He says that he was bullied into it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well that doesn't mean he wasn't. That doesn't mean
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: he didn't negotiate them. It just means he was bullied
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: into them, which I don't understand because the insurance negotiator
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: is the one that decides what the rates are going
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: to be so go figure.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy came out just on Tuesday and
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: said that his department may have to close certain parts
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: of the country's airspace next week. Now this is all
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: because of the government shut down, of course, and we've
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: been seeing this escalate as more and more people working
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: for the airport are working for free essentially at this point.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: So with the shutdown, it would be dishonest to say so,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: says Duffy, that more risk is not injected into the
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: system and the situation, he says, has four stair traffic
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: controllers to make difficult financial decisions. Some of them are
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: getting second jobs their family.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: This is a risk the Trump administration, I think is
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: taking because they can find money somewhere in the budget.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Remember the budget is in the trillions and trillions of dollars.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: They can move around money they did with this Armed Services,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: they did with other departments. And this has become a
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: political football of extraordinary levels. And have you seen it's
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: not even this department is closed because of funding.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: It's this department is.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Closed because the Democrats won't vote to open up the government.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: And that's right in front.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: You can't even believe that the politics of saying this
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: is open, this is closed. And how about the one
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that said this department is closed due to the duplicitus
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: stabbing back bastard Democrats who won't vote to keep the
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: government open.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: There's two parties, there's two sides, and to be able
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: to blame it on one side or the other, his hasse.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's what's going on with this one.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: And I think the Republican is going to lose on
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: this one because already the Americans are.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Blaming Republicans for this.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, the optics are horrible.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Yep, all right, one more before we take a break.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Uh, let's take a closer look at this one, shall we.
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: The federal judge who's overseeing former FBI Director James Comy's
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: legal challenge to the appointment of Lindsay Halligan as the
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: US Attorney to the Eastern District is telling prosecutors to
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: hand over the transcript of Halligan's presentation to the grand
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: jury that voted to indict Comy. So you'll remember, Comy
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: pleaded not guilty to these charges. The charges were bought,
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: were brought by the grand jury, two charges, and Lindsay
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: Halligan was appointed to cover that because the first person
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: who was supposed to do it didn't want to bring
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: the charges or refused to, and so Trump got rid
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: of her or him and replaced him with Halligan.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Now, is right?
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, an indictment by the grand jury is a secret proceeding.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: There was one witness.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: That's quite often that happens based on one witness, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: that judge said, I want to see those transcripts, which
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: is very which is very unusual, very And then the
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: whole issue of whether or not she should even take
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: that position because the Senate did not confirm her.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: And this is also a political football.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna we're gonna see three and a
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: half year or three years of.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: This coming up. All right.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Predatory solicitation. We've heard the story.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: In the La Times about the sexual abuse claims against
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: La City, and those have shed light on something that's
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: going on that they refer to as predatory salespeople who
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: stand out in front of the social services offices and
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: try and use these aggressive I don't know solicitation techniques.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I guess to talk to people that are seeking food
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: stamps that cache aid that obviously are going to think
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: through things and woo them to you know, suing or
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: participating in things to make money.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: How double sleazy is this when you take people that
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: are on this level of vulnerability.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Well, they're not even running after the ambulance at this point,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: waiting for the ambulance to come to them. So in
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: this particular case, this does tie into the county's sex
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: abuse lawsuit. But also yeah, but just all it like
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: they're saying they're going to build a buffer zone.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: They just don't know how to do it just yet.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and how far out solicitation, because you can solicit
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the law.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Alex is opting out yous. Senator Alex Padilla announced that
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: he will not be running for governor of California next year.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: There's been speculation about it for months that he might
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: do it, but he said he's not going to and
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: said instead he will focus on countering President Trump's agenda
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: in Congress.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't matter because if he resigns, you have
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom was going to just appoint another liberal senator.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: So I don't get what he is going to do
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: that another senator that the governor would appoint would not do. Now,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: this is an interesting announcement because what he did is
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: this is a big win for Newsom, big.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Win for Newsom.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: The number of name recognized politicos in this state on
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: the Democratic side is now dropping, now winnowing down.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: And Newsom put his entire.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Political he put I think he put a political record,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: this political future on Prop fifty and he got such
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: a massive win that this thing catapulted him in terms
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: of him will forever.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: He tied to his name like he gets that credit one. Yeah,
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: he does, all right. David Beckham, God bless him.
• 23:06
