WEBVTT - Handel on the News 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.520 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:09.960 Am six forty. 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.760 The Dodgers having won the World Series. 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.320 I guess the Toronto Blue Jays, so so it's fair 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:18.600 to say Dodgers. 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:24.240 Won in four point four games. That's a reference to 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.600 the exchange rate between Candida. 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:32.760 And United side that thinker was told there'd be no map. 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:38.000 And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:39.159 Bill Handle. 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:41.720 And good morning everybody. 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:47.720 It is a Tuesday, Taco Tuesday, November fourth, and we've got, 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:52.920 strangely up another full day. Some breaking news today as well. 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.400 It's a very important day in terms of elections. We'll 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.480 talk about that coming up. Also, welcome back to Amy. 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:01.920 Good morning, Good morning. 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:08.040 Okay, you have a sweatshirt that says the Beavers. Okay, 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.440 explain that one, because of course what first comes to 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.520 mind is tell me what's going on with. 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.560 That Oregon State Beavers football. 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:17.440 I went to a football game while I was up 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:22.480 in Oregon and I got this jersey. Okay, and they won, 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.080 So I'm still celebrating because the Beavers suck this year, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.000 so a win was it was a big deal. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.240 So when the Dodgers did win that last game, Game seven, 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.640 of which I watched every single minute. That is the 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.319 first time in probably fifty years I have watched a 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.280 full game of baseball. 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.840 And as soon as the Dodgers won, Lindsay said, why don't. 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.840 You text Amy and congratulate her? 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:49.400 And did you get the text? 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:50.320 I did not. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:55.200 That's because I didn't send it. I figured that's correct. 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.040 In any case, hell of a game. It was a 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:00.320 hell of a game. They say it was going to 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.640 go down for the ages. I thought it was. 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.200 It was a really interesting game. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.640 I had Petro signed yesterday and I thought that, you know, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.840 not that I'm a maven in baseball, but I thought 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:16.400 that Toronto actually outplayed the Dodgers through the series. It 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.960 was just they were the better team. A lot of 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.480 it was lightning in a bottle. I know, we're going 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.520 to do sports talk. You're shaking your finger at me, 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:23.680 you're wagging your finger. 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.560 Well, I'm only to say I initially actually was thinking 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.280 that at times too, thinking wow, the Blue Jays are 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.960 because they were fabulous. But the game is offense and defense, 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.880 and the Dodgers came through in the clutch when they 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.280 needed to, so their defense it's you know, it's not 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:42.519 just offense. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.480 So I understood, but you know, the argument is lightning 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:44.959 in a bottle. 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.000 But the other thing, I was making a lot of 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.640 fun yesterday about the parade, of course, and we were 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.560 doing I was going to do a football pool as 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.720 to how many dumpsters were going to be torched and 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.520 how many cars were going to be overturned none, I 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:02.600 don't I always make that joke, but two and I 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.920 was thinking about this and seriously thinking about this. The 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.040 Dodgers are absolutely an incredible organization when you look at 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.639 the diversity. They were the first team to bring an 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.519 African American on Jackie Robinson I think it was nineteen 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.799 forty seven, and then made a huge deal out of 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:26.360 the Hispanic Latino ballplayers and broadcasting. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:27.720 Now, a lot of it has to do with a 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.079 population base. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.600 But they were at the forefront of that, and they're 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.200 at the forefront of Japanese players coming in. I mean, 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.040 they have been ahead of the game in terms of 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.120 where this country has been going in terms of diversity 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.520 and the concept of melting pots or a melting pot. 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.080 And I have to give them a lot of credit 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.280 for that, I really do, and good for them. Good 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.080 for them all right, that's enough. I'm not going to 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.000 give them any more kudos. All right, Amy, welcome back 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:03.000 and Cono. Good morning, Good morning Bill, Good morning Bill. Okay, excellent, Yeah, 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.520 you do have a frog I there will Good morning 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:06.840 to you. 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.680 All right.

Yeah, that's not what happened. 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:16.600 That's actually what happened. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.039 Bro the wabbler starts to go and then and a 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.800 good morning to you, Good morning to you. You see, 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.599 I'm in a reasonably good mood. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.000 Got into a huge fight with Lindsay this morning, and 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.039 now I do this show. Uh it's called that Tuesday 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.920 they do. Uh did you and did you hear a 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:34.760 scream at each other? 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.400 No? I did not. Oh yeah, No, we were really 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.800 yelling at each other this morning. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.719 Damn Yeah. The dogs came in and we just started yelling. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.320 It was really good fight. There's five o'clock in the morning, 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.360 just you know, fight over stuff. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.279 Did you like Trump for an hour? 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:51.840 No? 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.800 No, I did not like Trump for an hour. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.760 Do you do that when she gets mad at you 0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:58.640 say I'm going to become a Republican. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.680 Yeah, I'm going to become a rump is Yeah, all right, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.360 So we have the election we're going to talk about 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.159 today for sure, and a fairly extraordinary American has just died. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.919 And that's Dick Cheney, who died at the age of 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.880 eighty four. Should have died sooner. And I'm not talking 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.360 about politically, I'm talking about physically. He's had heart attack 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.200 after a heart attack, and he's had surgeries and had 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.040 a heart transplant bypass surgery. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.000 Yeah, and he made it. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.520 And he made it to eighty four, which actually is 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.920 pretty impressive. My dad made it to eighty five, and 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.400 he should have died in his fifties. But modern medicine 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.240 keeps people alive, So you may have ten years in 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.920 you huh, No, I'm okay. I don't have I don't 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.480 have any heart disease. I don't. I've had two vowels 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:52.360 that were put in, but yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I've 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:56.000 had back surgery, it vowels put in. Nothing life threatening. No, 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:57.840 I don't have congeneral heart disease or anything. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.000 Sounds different from your wife's point of view. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.400 Oh yeah, well that's because she's trying. Okay, all right, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.960 let's do it, guys. Are you ready. We've got plenty 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.400 of news to talk about. It is time for Handle 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:12.240 on the news with Amy. Who's back Neil and me 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:19.839 lead story, and it is Dick Cheney who has just 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.719 died at the age of eighty four. I'm not even 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.080 going I'm not even going through the list of what 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.320 he has done as a public servant. But I will 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.200 talk about that at seven am, because that'll be our 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.920 first segment coming up. And no matter which side of 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.440 the political spectrum you are, he is a fascinating and 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:46.080 hugely influential character in our modern democracy and at the 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:52.159 very tip top of the power, serving two presidents, a 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.200 chief of staff when he was thirty four. Who the 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.360 hell becomes the presidential chief of staff at the age 0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:59.239 of thirty four? 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:00.880 Dick Cheney. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:05.120 Dick Cheney. All right, moving on. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.640 Poles are opening in about fifty minutes. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:11.960 Does anyone care? 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.680 Apparently not, because in California, since we went to vote 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.080 by mail, almost everybody's doing it. Since twenty twenty, more 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.280 than eight in ten Californians in stay wid er general 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:27.280 or special elections are voting by mail in either mailing 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.600 it in or dropping it off, or returning it to 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.240 a local voting center. 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.000 Yeah, I'm seven twenty. I'm going to talk about that. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.320 And the conclusion I think that all of us will 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:42.720 reach or have reached, is all the reasons that the 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.040 both sides are arguing for you to vote one way 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:47.960 or the other mean absolutely nothing. 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.760 It's all crap, is what they're saying. 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.800 No one believes in the underlying issue with democracy or 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.840 not democracy. It is straight politics, and so that's coming 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:01.120 out up at seven. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.320 La Metro can't can't find anybody to ride. They keep 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.800 telling everybody, Hey, here's something we'll do. How about free 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.840 rides today on election day? Get writers to the polls. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.120 Not only they saying you can do that on the 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.200 La Metro as far as traditional methods, but also they're 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.240 newer methods like the Metro bike Share. They offer free 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:27.120 thirty minute rides. Metro customers can select one ride at 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.040 any Metro bike share kiosk, you can go online, you 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.679 can go to the Metro bike share app whatever it is, 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.680 but you got to use the promo code. It's very clever. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.640 One one zero four, two five eleven zero four. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.720 It's very clever. And I understand the Metro buses. I 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.040 get that, I understand what a train is. Bike share, 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:56.040 I understand now micro ride share either their tiny little 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.960 cars or busting cell or very small people only people 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.400 under three foot eight dwarfs are allowed on all right. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.359 No ID required. 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.400 A California appeals court has ruled that a voter identification 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:16.439 rule approved by Huntington Beach last year violates state law. 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.360 Voters approve the measure that requires residents to show valid 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.200 ID to cast a ballot. It would have started in 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.400 twenty twenty six, but the State of California filed a 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.960 lawsuit saying the measure unlawfully conflicts with and is preempted 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.000 by state law. A lower court dismissed the case, and 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.800 then Attorney General Rob Bonta appealed that ruling and. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.640 One and one And I'm surprised that the lower court 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:47.040 even agreed with Huntington Beach. I mean, election law is 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.760 very clear cut. The states control all election law. And 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:56.360 also a state law preempts a county law preempts city law. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.960 And we discussed this before about Huntington b which is 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.720 the poster child of conservatism in southern California. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.080 So why is it a conservative thing to do? Voter 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:11.360 I D I don't understand why. Hey, I'm a favor 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.960 of voter ID vote I am a favor of voter 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:19.800 I D. However, the philosophy of voter I D. If 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.600 you're pushing voter I D, therefore you're disenfranchising people who 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:24.320 don't have ID. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.640 Who doesn't have ID, well. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:31.040 Poor people who don't go to the DMV, homeless people 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.720 who don't go to the DMV, people that don't understand 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:36.319 the DMV. 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.800 It's only the poor and the homeless. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:45.720 And that is the basis of the law that says none. 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.160 Of that ID for everything else. 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:48.000 That's true. 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.640 And I told this story before last election. I went, 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.680 and I've done this several times. I go to the 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.240 polls and I like to vote, although now I do 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.640 it by mail. I'm done physically pulling anymore physically going 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.600 to the p and I walk up there and I say, 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.400 you know, my name is William Handle and give my 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.400 address and then I say, would you like to see 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.800 my ID? No, I go, I have my ID right 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.640 here to prove who I am. Don't want to see it. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.280 But don't you want to know who I am? Well, yeah, 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.320 you said who you are? And the weirdiest thing in 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:20.760 the world. 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.080 It is so strange. It is beyond belief. 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.400 You certainly need an idea, drive a car, you certainly 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:27.000 need ID. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.360 Actually to walk the streets, you have to have ID. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.959 But when it comes to voting, our most precious franchise 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.880 that exists in a free society, the right to vote. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.560 Now you don't have to find out that they don't 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.160 care whether you are or not. Now, the other side 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.480 of it is fraud. The amount of fraud that actually 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.560 exists without vot ID that's minuscule too. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:52.559 So that's the reality. 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.679 Okay, well not just on this coast, but on the 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.800 East Coast as well. 0:11:58.520 --> 0:11:59.319 Today's big day. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.440 You got present sat Donald Trump urging New Yorkers in 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:08.280 typical kind of heavy handed Donald Trump way his strongest 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:13.840 terms yet to vote for former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.040 he hates in the city's mayoral race. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:23.200 Yeah, he hates Cuomo. Cuomo hates him. Yeah, they're both total, 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.760 total enemies. On the other hand, you got mom Donnie, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.600 who is what Trump calls a communist, and he's not 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:31.240 a communist. 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.080 I mean, he's a socialist, but there's a difference. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.800 You know, he's Trump's going a little bit far, and 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.439 so we're going to do more about that. Coming up 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.200 at seven thirty. I aim you were about to. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.600 Say something, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:47.480 That's exactly correct. Yeah, that's it. 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.680 And he said he came right out and said, whether 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.600 you personally like him or not, you really have no choice. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:54.160 Yeah. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.640 And by the way, if you vote for him, New 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.960 York will not get any more money. As a matter 0:12:59.960 --> 0:13:04.440 of fact, he's gonna he is going to have probably 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:10.840 Mike Johnson and uh and or conceivably another representative that 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.680 put in a bill to make New York illegal. The 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:19.280 city will be about the existence of the city will 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:20.680 be in violation of federal law. 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:25.000 You just watch what's your thoughts on Mom, Donnie, Mom, Dottie, Mom, Dommy. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.040 Well, he is certainly left wing. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:28.800 I mean, he's about as left wing as you're going 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.520 to get out there. Uh. There's a big issue about 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.240 him being anti Semitic because he's he's Muslim and it's 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.960 pro Palestinian. I mean, to the extent is he anti Semitic? 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.239 I don't know, because a lot of Jews say anti Semitism. 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.400 But if you're pro Palestinian, you're there for anti Semitic. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:50.320 I don't buy that. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.320 I think you can be pro Palestinian and not be 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:54.160 anti Semitic. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.480 Yeah, and certainly you could be Muslim and not be 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:57.360 anti Semitic. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:58.120 Yeah, exactly. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:02.120 Well that's so I'll talk more about that. But he is, 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:05.480 he's going to be mayor for one thing, and there's 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:06.800 certain things that he wants to do. 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.840 Free bus rides for everybody. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:15.840 For example, he wants rent stabilization, no more rent increases, 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.360 which makes absolutely no sense. 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.640 Why does much you waive the ten dollars cost for IDs. 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.120 And I don't know, I mean that will be wait, 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:26.840 I don't know if that's what the cost in New York. 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:31.080 And then much like when I campaigned for president of 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.800 my class in the fourth grade, free pizza on Fridays 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:39.080 for every New Yorker. Okay, we'll talk more about that 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.840 coming up. Don't you remember free pizzas that everybody else? 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.480 That's what you do. And then you say that you 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.000 scream the name of your mascot. Yeah. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.760 So apparently Bill was not the only one riveted by 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:55.680 the World Series. Nearly half of Canada's population watched Game seven. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.560 Eighteen and a half million, or forty six percent of 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.680 canada estimated population tuned into at least part of the 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:07.840 game viewership peaked at fourteen million in the bottom of 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.640 the ninth inn and of course that's when the Blue 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.520 Jays had a chance to win in walkoff faction. And 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.640 then it was also in the US, it was the 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.840 most watched game since twenty seventeen. So the US audience 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.240 was twenty and a half and twenty five and a 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:28.120 half million, the most since Game seven between the Dodgers 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.160 and the Astros in twenty seventeen. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:32.560 Keep in mind the Super Bowl is one hundred and 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.600 ten one hundred and fifteen million people that watched the 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:38.840 Super Bowl, a third of the entire United States and so. 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.480 Well, they don't have fun commercials during the World Series. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.960 That's true when they have all loftime show. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.920 Also, also there's a lot of baseball, and one of 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:50.520 the things about football is sixteen games and then you 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.560 have the Super Bowl, and that's one game. It's not 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.560 the best of anything. I mean, it's on any given day. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.920 Forstening to David Vessay the other day on the station 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.640 talking about how these last two seasons have been like 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.320 the longest seasons ever for the Dodgers, and he's been 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.800 with them every moment of every with preseason everything. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.920 Yeah, and the Dodgers and they did that parade yesterday 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.480 which huge numbers of people came. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.200 Out and yes, about two hundred thousand. 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:26.920 Yeah, a lot of excitement. Clayton Kershaw said goodbye. He 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.760 was going to go and immediately go and shave his 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.800 beard off. Pretty scraggly, isn't it? 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.600 Okay? Never mind heard, Yeah, there's beards and then there's beards. 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:38.960 A lot of the guys do that though. 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.120 They they grow them and then and then you get 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.400 to a certain point and it becomes a superstition too. 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:45.920 They don't they don't trim them or shave. 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:46.760 Them fair enough. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:51.160 All right, all right, handle, you've got YouTube, YouTube, television, right, 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.480 I do. Okay, So they're in battle with the Disney 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:59.440 folks and ABC and all of that and already missing. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.200 I guess Monday Night football would have been yesterday, right. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.960 So now the election day coverage would be a blackout 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.240 as well as Walt Disney owned channel stretches into a 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.920 second week of negotiations with YouTube. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:13.600 So where do you where are you going to get 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:14.520 the news tonight? Bill? 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:19.399 Well? Usually I record ABC News, which I'm not going 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.200 to be able to get, but I have NBC which 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.440 is still works and BBC still works and I watch 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:31.120 those Fox I still get, so CNN I still get. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.879 So it's ABC stuff that I'm not getting. But I 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.120 really rely on that big time. 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.640 Do you watch BBC because you like when they say 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:40.919 kowala lumpool? 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.399 Yes, I actually I do. I do like BBC. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:46.960 Out kowala lumpool. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:48.240 Yeah yeah, yep. 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:54.520 So anyway, what Disney wanted to do was I have 0:17:55.119 --> 0:18:02.080 YouTube restore TV coverage just for the election, and they said, no, thanks, now, 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.240 don't come to terms. They always do, but in the meantime, 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.440 we just don't have ABC or ESPN. 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.440 Well, this one gets a half snap up. 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:19.800 Trump administration is committed to partially funding the Supplemental Nutrition 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.840 Assistance Program known as SNAP or what used to be 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.479 called food Stamps, with a four point sixty five billion 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.320 dollar payment. They do say that using those emergency funds 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.919 to pay for the half SNAP benefits would take a 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.720 few weeks up to several months. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:38.399 That's not going to help anyone. 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.240 Of course, the federal judge had ordered the Trump administration 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:46.640 to use emergency funds to pay for SNAP, and they're 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.240 going to get about half of what they normally would get. 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:50.480 This is where the president. 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.720 Boy, he walked this one backwards pretty quickly because of 0:18:55.400 --> 0:19:00.720 the impasses going on between Republicans and Democrats. He had said, 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.439 we're not going to release snap funds. There weren't any 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.000 snap funds to release. Well, they did have snap funds 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.480 enough for two weeks as opposed to a full month, and. 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.520 He said, no, they don't have the money they do. 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.280 And the fact is there are a lot of people 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:19.920 who receive these food stamps. You know, forty million I 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.640 think Americans rely on this and that's forty million people 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.440 that have gotten would have gotten two weeks, are getting 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.520 two weeks instead of a full month. But it doesn't 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.520 bode politically very well for the administration to withhold money 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:36.840 that is there. 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:38.359 For emergency purposes. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.240 And it initially a Trump administration said, this is not 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:46.720 an emergency. Emergencies are natural disasters. Running out of money 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.440 is not considered an emergency. 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:53.399 I wouldn't see natural disaster though, dealing hurricane here it is. 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.879 But you know what I'm saying, it's about people's shelter 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:56.600 and food. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:01.240 Basically, a natural disaster is what cast people not to 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:02.240 have food exactly. 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:03.120 Yeah, And so. 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.199 Otherwise if it was in a plane, if it was 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.400 on a beach where no one lived, no one would care. 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:09.920 So of course unless people lived on. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:11.160 The beach, it couldn't eat. 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.800 Yeah, right, that is That's about as big a natural disasters. 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.120 I think time it would. 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.719 Push the Democrats and ended up pushing him. 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.280 Oh yeah, all right, And a parent company, Tyland, has 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.119 been in the news quite a bit. Did you know 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:29.239 that if you have it during pregnancy that you're going 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.000 to be autistic and so is your kid and maybe 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:33.160 even a neighbor and a dog. 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.800 So keep that, keep watch on that. 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.600 But Huggies maker Kimberly Clark announced Monday that it would 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:44.359 buy Tyler's parent company, ken View, And uh, I think 0:20:44.400 --> 0:20:47.280 that if you're looking at like fifty billion dollars in 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.040 this deal, and I have. 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.560 No idea that was that big, it's huge, obvious, it's massive, 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:53.360 I know. 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.760 And so this merger this some say that this is 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:04.600 because Trump administration is very open towards corporate acquisitions. 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:05.560 Very much so, very much so. 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.399 And there I don't know if the Trump administration or 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.080 the FDA is still pushing Thailand. 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.760 All to put the warning on the box. I think 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:16.640 that's up in the air. 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:20.000 I think it's still in progress as. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.800 Yeah, I've seen a couple of I've seen a couple 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.800
