Good morning everybody. Bill Handle here. It is 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.440 a momentous Monday, October thirteen. 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:53.840 All living hostages in Gaza, Israel hostages have been returned 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.400 and now they're awaiting. 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.040 Unfortunately, the remains. 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:03.240 Of I think twenty eight who died or were killed, 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.520 probably were killed. And of course Hamas decides not only 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:11.000 is it hold living hostages, it also holds dead hostages, 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:15.479 knowing that the family members need closure and it doesn't 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:23.640 matter anyway. Celebrations breaking out both in Gaza and Israel. 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.759 And I think, I guess in. 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.360 A positive sense that no one Hamas is not screaming 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.160 we've won the war.

Virtually no appetite 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.000 for anyone on either side to talk to the other side. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:20.760 They're pretty much dug in. The House, passed continuing resolution 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.720 would extend curtain current Biden era spending levels, but House 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:31.240 Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries said that the legislation is unacceptable 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.640 to Democrats because it also includes massive cuts codified by 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.520 President Trump's domestic policy package. And then on the other side, 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.480 Speaker Johnson says that the Democrats have chosen a partisan 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.920 fight to prove their Marxist rising base in the Democratic 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.120 Party that they're willing to fight Trump and the Republicans. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.880 Marxist, Yeah, yeah, why not. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:57.319 Now it's you communists and patriots, you fighting, looking at 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.360 everybody and describing themselves. So I will talk more about this, 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.400 but the people are going to really really suffer. This 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.760 is the week that paychecks don't come to a lot 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.640 of federal employees, and it's really going to hurt most. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:10.600 See how this pans out. 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.240 I have some ideas and we'll talk about that. At 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.400 seven point thirty and see if you agree or disagree, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.280 or tell me I'm out of my mind. Sure, why not? 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:20.679 All right? 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:27.120 As we moved to real communists China, Donald Trump threatening 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.920 again to impose additional one hundred percent tariffs on China 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:36.880 made everything go crazy with the stock market. But China 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.800 says it's a typical example of US doing a double standard, 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.880 which is funny for a communist country filled with rich 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:45.400 And then. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.080 Yeah, yeah, well they're not particularly communists. They only call 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:53.359 themselves communists. Anytime a country calls itself the people's republic, 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.640 you've got some real issues as to how free the 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:57.840 people's Republic is. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.080 Yeah, but you're right on this one. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.840 They did say they have countermeasures coming. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.040 Oh yeah, you know, they're now in a pissing match. 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:14.280 Ping and President Trump are really at it. And here's 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.320 what really got Here's what got Trump so upset is 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:23.760 that China is limiting its rare earths that now they're 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.920 playing with that China controls the rare earth's market, rare 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.520 earth minerals. They basically have it about eighty percent of 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:34.400 the world market. And without rare earth, you don't make 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:39.800 cell phones, evs, you don't make electronics. You just need 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:44.160 those what I thought you might have nothing we were 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.520 working with We are, but it's years in the making. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:49.280 Minds have to be dug. 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.520 China has a full blown mature industry with this and 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:57.280 controls the world market. So Trump now attached another one 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.840 hundred percent. That's on top of the thirty percent. That's 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:02.480 all aready in place, one hundred and thirty percent. I 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:07.080 told you that my business with savil or cookwar business 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:12.040 which we import from China, a loom Staines steel cookwaar, 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.040 what was it? A couple of weeks ago, we got 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:18.320 a shipment of We had seventy thousand dollars, a reasonably 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:22.000 small shipment. We needed some back order stuff, so it 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:27.480 costs seventy thousand dollars. The tariff was eighty seven thousand dollars. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.680 That we had to write the federal government on a 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.880 seventy thousand dollars order. It was eighty seven thousand dollars 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.200 in tariffs. How sustainable do you think that is? 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:42.120 Gosh, it's almost not worth using the Chinese slave labor. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:47.640 Huh pretty close? Yeah, man, you just can't get good 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:48.920 slave labor anymore. 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:50.920 I guess we're back to the us of A. 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:57.440 Yeah, that's not going to help very much because still 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.080 it gets crazy cookie. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.040 Well the aluminum. 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.840 We also get aluminum from overseas too, don't forget the 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.680 try to produces aluminum. So it's the whole thing is 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.200 completely nuts. And the other thing I think I'm talking 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.160 about this a little bit later on. One thing about 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.080 this president, and it's both good and bad. I'll tell 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.000 you one thing. For a US president to bounce back 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:19.920 and forth and to wake up in the morning and 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.480 establish one policy and in the afternoon change it. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:24.680 With the kind of. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.560 Influence the United States has is just astronomical, and he's 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:29.960 just taking everybody for a loop. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:37.440 Okay, moving on Butner Butner, Mayor Bass is getting some competition, 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:39.280 and don't look at me that way. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:40.120 I got it. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.760 Former La School Superintendent Austin Buttner is planning to announce 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.160 today that he is going to run against Mayor Bass 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:51.240 for the twenty twenty six mayor's election. He lives in 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.680 Pacific Palisades. His home was damaged during the fires. His 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:59.440 mother in law's house was destroyed, and he has criticized 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.920 on several fronts, but very critical of the way that 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.760 she handled the wildfires, saying that officials at all levels 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.000 showed a failure of leadership on the fire. 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.639 I don't know how much name recognition he has, because 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.840 did you know his name LA Unified School superintendent who 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:19.159 it was? 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:21.600 I don't think many people did. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.119 I did. But this is what we do for a living. 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.440 Yeah, well, thank you. It makes me feel good. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.639 Hey, when only like less than twenty percent of the 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:33.199 population of LA votes for the mayor, are they in 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:33.800 the election? 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:35.199 I mean nobody knows. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.560 Yeah, good point, And Neil says, of course he knows. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:39.439 I have my doubts. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.520 So the ball keeps bouncing from court to court, and 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:48.359 the Federal Court of Appeals just Saturday temporary temporarily lifted 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:53.000 a judge's order blocking the White House efforts to federalize 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:57.960 National Guard troops for the use in Chicago, but left 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.359 her block on their deployment in the city, so the 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.200 troops can remain at their base, the US Army Reserve 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:09.000 Center there in Elwood, Illinois, just about an hour outside 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:14.080 of Chicago. But they don't need to return home. But 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.040 they're still not moving. 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.520 Yeah, I just now their chapter And how far does 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.560 presidential power go? Where the president is testing pushing the 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.800 envelope across the board. So we'll see what the courts 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.240 have to say on this one. These are all, as 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.960 you pointed out, temporary measures until the merits the underlying 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.879 case is actually heard as to does the president have 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:35.280 the power? 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:35.800 Yes or no? 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:42.840 Under these circumstances, inventory not required, So for the families 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:48.360 who lose everything in future wildfires, you'll be able to 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:52.840 collect most of your insurance pay out without itemizing everything. 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:59.480 Governor Newsom signed new law that on Friday, and starting 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.280 next year, insurers will be required to pay at least 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.320 sixty percent of a homeowner's personal property coverage up to 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.000 three hundred and fifty thousand dollars without requiring that detailed 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:12.040 inventory list. It's good, but not as good as the 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:17.720 original of the original version of the bill, which would 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.520 have required insurers to pay one hundred. 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.840 Percent of the contents without an itemized list. 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.440 That's a two aage sword. First of all, the insurers 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:27.480 have a legitimate interest saying, hey, you know what, We're 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.600 not going to just write you a check saying that 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.399 based on what you tell us, you know, here's your 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:37.320 one hundred thousand dollars gold coin collection. Oh no, I 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:37.680 had it. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:39.639 Now it's gone melted. 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.400 Well, I guess you can melt into a gold bar, 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:44.600 but you know the coin that's worth twenty thousand dollars. No. 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.520 On the other side, it's who the hell keeps inventory 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:53.600 of everything you have in the house. I mean, what 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:57.800 you should do is with homeowners insurance is video everything 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.000 you have, just do a walk through and that helps enormously. 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.520 Who the hell does that? So this helps homeowners a 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:08.200 lot and we'll just see how much our insurance rates 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.479 go up on that one. And it is fair to 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:15.000 have people be paid for what they lose without having 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.879 to do an entire inventory list, because no one does that. 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.320 I do, yeah, do you? Yeah? 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.760 Actually I go through every now and again, both in 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.399 my shop in the house and do a video. 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:28.520 And it's actually it's actually. 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.280 Came in handy when we had a film crew used 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:37.520 the house. I was able to prove that things were broken. Okay, 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:42.359 I'm weird, No, all right, hundreds. You remember back at 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.240 the earlier part of the year with the whole doze 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.879 stuff where people were being fired and then they were like, oh, whoops, 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.320 you weren't supposed to be fired. We're kind of going 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.480 through that again. These are the CDC staffers recently fired 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:59.399 by the Trump administration. There's about thirteen hundred workers at 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:03.840 the CDC so and they come from all different walks 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:09.359 and areas. But out of that thirteen hundred, seven hundred 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.359 were reinstated on Saturday, so you've got about six hundred 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:18.520 remaining laid off. And apparently they received incorrect notifications. 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.480 So they fire everybody. This is Friday, Friday. They all 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:25.280 received notices and they say you're done, and then the 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.600 next day, seven hundred ago, oh we made a mistake, 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.560 you're not fired. And this seems to be the way 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.760 that the government is being run right now. You'd think 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.639 someone would think this through, but it's, uh, let's do 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.400 this with a shotgun and then we'll pick up the pieces. 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:44.800 Where businesses do it. 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:50.679 Businesses I think are more selective. They don't reinstate people 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.480 the next day you get furloughed, and it's not like, oh, 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.880 we made a mistake, come on back the next day 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.879 by the hundreds or the thousands. 0:21:58.920 --> 0:21:59.760 Not they don't do. 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:00.880 The next day. 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.000 But I mean it's happened around here where they do 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:04.680 layoffs and then they bring people back. 0:22:05.160 --> 0:22:08.000
