  Speaker 2: off and I've worked six days a week for my
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: entire life. Matter of fact, I don't think I've ever

  Speaker 2: had a job where I only work five days a week,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: so there.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Okay. Off right. off that's why don't you take saturday off.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Uh because i because what happened was last saturday we
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: had a glitch uh with uh the computer and the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: internet so i couldn't do the show i tried doing
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it and it just didn't work so i i it

• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and uh it's uh So for those of you that
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: think when I'm off that I'm just off, actually, I'm
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: not off. I'm on even though I am off because
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I do a show that you haven't heard the phone
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: calls before. I record the monologue. So therefore, it is
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a brand new show that you think is live, which
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: is not. So there you go. I just want to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: explain how radio works.

  Speaker 2: K-pop. Yeah, Korean kid pop hop, right?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: It's like a Korean version of Minuto, which is a
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Mexican version of Backstreet Boys.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: The music's really good.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I haven't listened to them. For some reason, I'm not into.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe Kono, you can play a drop on that because
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: You want to hear BTS?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just for a moment. Let's hear what BTS sounds like.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And obviously a big fan.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and football starts officially next Sunday.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, but there is a game this weekend, right? No, BTS.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: That's right. Okay. I just called for this.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So it takes a minute or two for Kono to
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: bring it up.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Swim, swim, waterfall in all of your.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Skin Swim, swim, I could spend a lifetime watching.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You swim Okay, first of all, a song about smell,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I wonder, you know.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's a smell.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a Korean accent. What the hell do I know?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: This doesn't sound very Korean to me. Okay, that's enough.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: That's enough.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: All right, Kono, quit dancing. No, I'm sorry. It's Will
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: who's dancing. All right, that's enough.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Is this for 14-year-old girls? Yeah, pretty much.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: No, at 14, they've outgrown it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Amy and Will.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Of our crew like that music. Well, good for you. Hey,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I'll bet you I could ask Anne to see if
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: she can get you a ticket to see BTS, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: then you can do a full review. Amy?
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, fantastic. I'll go.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's great.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: It's fun music.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You think, oh, it's just a kid's group, but it's not.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, I understand. Kids go around.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I like Kiss, the radio, and I like bubblegum music,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and I like all of that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: When I want to regress into my early childhood during
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: one of my sessions with the shrink.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Okay. Could you imagine Amy in a room full of 14-year-olds?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: She'd be four feet taller. That's absolutely true. That's absolutely true. Korean. No,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it wouldn't just be Korean gals. It wouldn't. It wouldn't.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't see anything on a leash in that room
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: at all. You might see leashes, but don't give me
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: that look, Amy.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Okay. It's not me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: It's Ann giving you the look.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, she's also giving me the look.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're both giving you the look.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And Will is just shaking his head. I think we're
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: all giving you the look. It could be.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: It's a consensus look.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It's a revolt. Mutiny.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, we've got a lot to cover today because there's
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a lot going on. So let's start with the first
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: story of Handle on the News with Amy, Neil, and me.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Lead story. Here we go.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a weird one going out in the Lindsay
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Clancy murder trial. The jury is still deadlocked. The defense
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: brought up the fact that the deadlock is not because
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: there was anything. Well, the defense said there's something dreadfully
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: wrong in that one juror did not listen to the instructions.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And here is the fine line that has to be played,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: played here. If a juror doesn't believe that, let's say
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a juror is holding her off for insanity plea and
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the other 11 jurors are not buying it. It has
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to be a unanimous verdict. And if you can't get
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a unanimous verdict, then it's a mistrial.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: That's it. It's a deadlock.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Everybody walks away and the prosecution has to retry it again.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And so no one wants that. And so what's happening
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: is the accusation is this one juror is not paying attention,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: which the juror can be thrown out for that reason. However,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: if the juror just says, no, I'm paying attention, I
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: just don't believe it. I just think the other way.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: The judge can't deal with that. Also, there is a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: rule that says you can only go twice. The judge
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: telling the jury after it says it's deadlock, only twice
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: can the judge say you go back and deliberate. He
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: said it for the third time.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: How? Because there was an instruction, there was a request
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: from the lead juror about reasonable doubt, and that kicks
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it all off again. A request for information goes back
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: to square one. I'm going to talk more about that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: coming up at 7 o'clock. There are, no, I'm sorry, 720.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Tons of issues with this one. I mean, it has
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the legal people just spinning on this. And we'll see.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Would they try her again? Hell yes, they would try
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: her again. Sometimes prosecution just walks away. Especially if it's 11-1,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: for example, for a plea for insanity, the prosecution may
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: not try it. Quite often they look at the number
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: of jurors and which way they were going because you
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: can poll the jury afterwards and find out exactly how
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: many jurors went one way or the other.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: A Miracle in the Mud.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Rescuers in Nepal have pulled two workers alive from a tunnel.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: It's a hydropower tunnel. During an ongoing operation to rescue
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: the people, there's still like 5,000 people missing. The guys
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: pulled out, covered in mud, a mechanical foreman, a mechanical supervisor.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: The rescue comes nine days after the massive flash flooding
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: devastated towns and valleys in Nepal. Rescuers believe people may
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: still be alive. One of the people rescued says there
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: are people still alive down in that tunnel.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And Neil, you've been in Nepal.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, I loved it. Yeah, I have not. Not in
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: any of the tunnels.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: No, I understand that. Did you even know there were
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: tunnels under those hydroelectric plants? Did you ever go to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a hydroelectric plant? And there's a lot of rivers. I mean,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: electricity there is, for the main part, hydroelectric, and that's
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: been wiped out, too. So you're talking about a country
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that's not going to merely have to return to what
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: it was previously to the floods, but it's going to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: take years to rebuild the grid. All right, let's do
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: one more and then take a break.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: What's in a name? What is war? Well, apparently war
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: is not you know, bombs being exchanged and stuff. Vice
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: President J.D. Vance said yesterday that he wouldn't use the
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: word war to describe the U.S. fighting with Iran. He
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: kind of steered clear of predicting that the six-month-old conflict
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: would be over by November, which is, of course, midterm elections.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Republicans obviously trying to swim upstream with that, hang on
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to the narrow majority there in Congress. But he said
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: over and over he wouldn't call it war, even though,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: and even went on to say right now there is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: no active shooting but this comes after vance you know
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: or he asserts this after there was firing in the u.s.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Do you find it ironic when he said there is
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: no active shooting and the missiles were flying at that
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: moment yeah it comes a.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Little close to us uh just getting the news.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And then the entire issue of wait a sec it
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: was going to be four to six weeks we're now
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: into month seven uh there is we're.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Going to they were in his ear going there's no
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: firing right now yeah say it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah and that would be wrong Bartiromo.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Gets the boot. Fox News Media has abruptly ousted one
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: of its most well-known hosts and anchors. They put out
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: a statement saying effective today, which was yesterday, Maria Bartiromo
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: no longer with Fox News Media. They thanked her for
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: her 12 years of service. Bartiromo has been off the
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: air since early August with no reason given for her departure.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not even we by mutual consent, which of
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: course means you're fired. And she didn't resign. She wasn't fired.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It was we've parted company. It's not even we parted company. Hey,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: she doesn't work here anymore.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Pass the peas.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, does anybody know why?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, this gal, this woman was vociferous defender of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. Matter of fact, she was in the middle
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: of those lawsuits won by Dominion, which Fox settled for
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: three quarters of a billion dollars. based on the allegations
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: of voter fraud. And then the Smartmatic, that lawsuit still
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: is in the air. So I have no idea why
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: she was canned.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: So CNN was talking about it this morning, and they
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: were saying that it may have been because she had
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: put out some posts or sent something to the White
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: House saying, I want to cover these stories, but the
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: bigwigs won't let me. And basically they said that she
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: violated company policy or something to that effect.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Because, yes, she is a strong supporter of the president.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And so you would think that Fox would keep her
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: on because I'm assuming being a strong supporter and Fox viewer,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: she was very popular. And I don't know how popular
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: she was as an anchor.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: No idea. How long before she becomes a cabinet member?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, yesterday.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Well, there was speculation that they said, oh, maybe she's
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: going to be the next press secretary. But then I
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: think during a press conference or the press briefing, J.D.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Vance said, nah, it's not happening.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Is she blonde? No chance.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: She has some blonde streaks, I believe.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Those are gray.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: No, they're not.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Okay. Not on Fox News.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Nobody has gray hair.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Talking about gray in his hair.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Neil?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Hey, before we get to this next story about mortgages,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: this just in from Talkbacks. This is from Steve. Ann,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: he says, I've got a little feedback for Ann. She
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: is a hottie with a naughty body. Back to you
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: in the studio, Bill.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, snap.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Now, what's interesting is Anne wrote that herself. No, I
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: did not.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Let me have it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Let me have it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on. Got an email. Okay, you got it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, hottie, you got it.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: The naughty body.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Mortgage rates. The global sell-off in the bond market is
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: hitting the housing market with U.S. mortgage rates surging to
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: their highest level of the year. So, new pressure on
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: home shoppers. and homeowners as it marches closer to 7%,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: which is still probably 50% less than our parents had.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And this makes so much sense for the economy because
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: interest rates are as high as they are. Certainly, inflation
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: is moving up. Cost of gas and oil through the roof, well,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: relatively speaking. Fertilizer, things not going through the strait. And
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: that means there'll be another thousand points up with the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: stock market today. Explain all of that to me. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I pay attention to this stuff and I just don't
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: get it. Well, I mean, the argument is AI is
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: moving this whole thing forward and the insane investment in AI. OK,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: we're doing more and then we'll take a break.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Taking it all the way to the top, the Justice
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Department has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in an
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: ongoing legal battle over The Postal Service rules for mail
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: ballots just weeks before the November midterms and very, very
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: close to when ballots are being mailed out. In an
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: emergency appeal to the high court, Solicitor General D. John
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Sauer requested the justices halt a district court's temporary order
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: that blocks enforcement of the Postal Service requirements.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of things.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: First of all, I think one or two states have
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: already sent out mail-in ballots. That's for starters. Also, if
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the justices do grant the DOJ motion that says the—
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Post office feds can't control how mail order, how mail-in
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: ballots are run. Then you got mail-in ballots have already
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: been released, and here's how we can control it. That's
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: all new ground. No one has any idea how that's
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: going to go. And the president keeps on saying, we're
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: not getting in the way of mail-in ballots. We're not
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: getting in the way of balloting just through the U.S.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: post office. That's how we control it, and that's legal,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: which I think is unconstitutional. Either the states do have
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: the power to or don't have the power to control elections.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And Trump is saying, effectively, he has the power, notwithstanding
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: what the Constitution says, because the Postal Service is a
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: federal agency under his purview. And therefore, he can change
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the rules based on the mailing, the oversight of the U.S.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Post Office. So that one, it's a little complicated, but
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I think that works. Did that work, by the way?
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Sort of?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I try to unwonk stuff, and usually sometimes it works,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't, particularly when I have absolutely no idea
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, which happens on a regular basis.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is a rough story. I know exactly where
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: it is there. One person was killed and multiple others
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: injured after apparently an elderly driver crashed her car into
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: a security stand right there in the parking lot. of
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: the Trader Joe's at the Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: So this happened yesterday afternoon, about 1.20 p.m., Third Street
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and Fairfax. We all know that area because that's where
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the farmer's market and everything is over on that side.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: So this would be catty corner or right across the street.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I have a question, and that is, how do you
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: drive fast enough in a Trader Joe's parking lot to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: hit anybody and do damage? Maybe that's too soon, me
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: asking that question.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Because someone died. Well, this, yeah. Have you ever been
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: in a Trader Joe's? Yes.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: You can't get in or out of it. Everybody goes
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: at half a mile per hour. So just saying this
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: was a security kiosk, which I've never seen either because
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: maybe it's the area.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit. Go to Trader Joe's today, by
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: the way. Making Trader Joe's. Oh, a big Friday night, huh? Yeah, yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: It's my day today. Costco yesterday. Costco yesterday. Trader Joe's today.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Ann's going to go and get some sun on her
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: naughty body.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: That's what she'll be doing today. All right. Moving on.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Look at her face. She loves that. That makes me
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: so happy.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I love it. Not the first time she's
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: heard it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Well, because Bill's always drooling all over Amy.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I do not. Literally. It's gross. I resent that. I
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: drool all over everybody. Matter of fact, I drool when
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: nobody's there.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: There's that. I just drool. So don't accuse me of
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: drooling all over Amy. Gross.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: If you have a license, listen up. The FBI says
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: it's investigating a report that tens of millions of driver
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: licenses have For people in the U.S. and Canada are
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: being sold on the dark web. Guy says that he
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: found a dark Web site selling digital scans of millions
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: of driver licenses from people from both the U.S.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: And Canada.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: The breach, if confirmed, could be one of the largest
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: ever exposures of government issued identity documents in North America
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: and could up the risk of identity theft and fraud
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: for tens of millions of people.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a little frightening, isn't it?
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, how do you when a government when the government
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: issues driver's license or ID, how do they know it's
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: you when it's a picture of Donald Trump on the card?
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine everyone, no matter who they are, gets
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: a picture of Donald Trump on there? So, you know, wow.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have to go there.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: So the Wheel of Fortune announcer, Tim Thornton, we heard
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: a lot about this yesterday, was questioned by cops for. Jim, sorry,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Jim Thornton was questioned by cops. And apparently the attorney
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: for Jim Thornton claims that the Wheel of Fortune announcer
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: accidentally visited this pedophilia support site while on an airplane,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: which I know we're probably all going to raise our eyebrows.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Interestingly enough, I guess Jim Thornton is very active in
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: suicide prevention advocacy since losing a close family member to
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: suicide a couple of years ago. And he visits these
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: chat rooms offering support to individuals suffering from suicidal ideation.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: One of the sites is is 988lifeline. org. And that's the chat.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: And it's a suicide prevention space. Well, the attorney is
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: now saying for Jim Thornton that his client was misdirected
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: to a forum with similar URL, the forum lifeline.chat, which
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: is slightly different. It is a website to help those, uh,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: or offer mental help support to individuals with, uh, pedophilic, uh, thoughts. Yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: No, here's the story, which, uh, that I think, uh,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: is overblown because if it was a one-time visit and
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: it's close enough to what he, where he would normally go, uh,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: And he said this was a mistake and everything points
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: out to that mistake. And they question him. OK, what's
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: this about? And he says, well, this is what happened.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Conversation over. And now this becomes a huge story about
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: him somehow being connected to pedophilia.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing is it seems that the cops don't.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: question him and let him go. Right. Right. And there's
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: nothing else that we know of. And here we are.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: And in the meantime, while the wheel of fortune is investigating, uh,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: they're actively recasting. Yeah. It's because of the accusation.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Cause he went on a website that looked exactly like
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: another website, easily confused.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Uh, You seem to be defending this pretty hard. Oh, yeah.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I'm defending pedophilia now.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Make that accusation. OK.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Not sure why things went south here. We told you
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: about that shooting at an apartment complex in downtown Minneapolis.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Police are now saying that it was a custody exchange
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: or it happened during a custody exchange. The shooter died
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: in an exchange of gunfire with Minneapolis police officers. Two
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: people were killed. a 63 and a 61 year old.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: They lived in the apartment complex. The mother in the
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: custody exchange was shot in the leg. The child was
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: able to get away. Investigators say that after the guy
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: shot the mom, he went into the apartment, shot two
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: building employees, including one at close range. That person survived.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Then he went up to the building's ninth floor where
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: his apartment was, killed two residents there. And then the
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: police came in and got involved. They still don't know
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: what kind of initiated the original shooting.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Another raft of shootings. Yeah, the last couple of days
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: have been a lot of these. or we're just covering
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: more of them. You know, I've asked you many times, Amy,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: is there an increase in this sort of thing, or
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: is the coverage just more? And we don't know.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: We don't know, but I mean, it does seem, and
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: this one is, you know, it involved a kid.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: And it involved the mom, and the mom is okay,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: the kid's okay, the guy's dead.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: That's more newsworthy, you know, as opposed to just a
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: normal killing. I get that as normal killing. Notice I
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: use that word normal killing, and unfortunately- that works. Unfortunately,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: that's appropriate.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Those domestic stuff.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why cops are scared to death of that stuff.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I saw this video and at first I thought it
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: was AI or something because it was just silly looking.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: But there's this aggressive mystery animal in 2026 that's on
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: the loose in New Hampshire. So it's gone after multiple people.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: The video I saw was a woman I think she
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: was standing by a truck and it kind of darted
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: under the truck and then grabbed her ankle and she
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: starts kicking it. You can't really tell what it is,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: but it's fast. So the Lebanon Police Department said that
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: it's still unsure exactly what the animal is, but it
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: has reportedly displayed unusually aggressive behavior towards people. At least
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: three unprovoked attacks have been reported since August 30th.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: But someone, as the animal let go and ran into
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the bushes, you could hear someone going, Cujo.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: Come here. No, I don't think it was Cujo. Someone
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: did refer to it as Kono. Oh, better.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: It looks like a ferret.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Well, that's rude. Ferrets can do some damage.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Wow, she kind of kicks it, doesn't she?
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: It's not very big. Yeah, she has to.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: It's got a big fluffy tail.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Who doesn't?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: We hear that at least one listener thinks Anne does.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, there you are. Yeah. With her naughty tail.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: What the hell with her naughty tail and her naughty body.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Okay. Coast Guard to the rescue.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Coast Guard has rescued 37 suspected illegal immigrants who were
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: floating adrift in the water without food or water near Oxnard.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: They got a distress call from a pleasure craft. 88
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: miles off Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. And they went
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: to check it out. They found them drifting without fuel,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: food or water. They'd been just kind of floating around
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: for at least two days. They didn't have enough personal
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: safety equipment. They found them about five hours after they
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: got the call at 830 at night. And the Coast
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Guard was able to successfully rescue all 37.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: And they'll be deported instantly upon hitting shore, because they are, well,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: are they illegal? They might not be, because there are
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: plenty of tourists that sit 88 miles offshore in a
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: boat with no food, no water, and floating around.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I think we have time for one more. I'm not
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: getting on anybody's pleasure craft. All right. Hey, welcome on
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: my pleasure craft. All right, nearly 6,000 homeless people could
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: be forced to move because you're going to have security
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: officials imposing these massive security perimeters rather in advance of
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: the 2028 Summer Olympics in LA here. So they're doing
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: an estimation of all this, but there's going to be
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: some displacement. There's nothing you can do. They're all over
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the place.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Where are they going to go? And that's the point. History,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a little factoid of history, 1936,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Berlin Olympics, where the Nazis stop dealing with Jews.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: For two weeks, Jews were fine.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: They were happy. They were contented. They weren't moved around.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: And then as soon as the Olympics were over, boom.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: They were the Nazis went back to how they were
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: treating minorities, particularly Jews. And here it is homeless people,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: how we deal with homeless people. We're going to move
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: them someplace.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: And then I'm not sure that it's exactly the same.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm saying is it's no, it's not.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: But the point I'm making, you know, I think you
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: raise a good point. The point I'm making is hiding
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: people during the Olympics, hiding that segment of society you
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: do not want. visitors and athletes and the media.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: To see technically in germany it was the reverse they
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: had to go back into hiding after the olympics.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Oh no no no no we're it's they weren't hiding
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: anyway there was no place to hide actually at that
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: point not in 1936 anyway uh we could i could
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: spend an hour and a half on that one and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: i will not uh but i will spend some time
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: talking about karen bass's testifying before Congress on the homeless
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: issue and particularly the L.A. Housing Authority. Oh, man, big problems.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: And I want to share a moment talking about that.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: This is KFI AM 640.
