I think 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.160 you're pretty hot. I think you're pretty hot. I think 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:28.040 you're pretty hard. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:33.400 And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:40.239 Bill Handle, and. 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.360 It is KFI. It's Wednesday. It's a home day. 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:50.199 Handle Morning Crew on November fifth, the day after the 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:56.640 big election which Democrats literally swept across the entire country, 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.279 and I'm going to talk more about that on at 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:04.480 seven o'clock. And as I'm looking to see what happened, 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.880 I think a couple of major points came out and 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.440 I'm gonna explore those a little deeper. 0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:11.679 Coming up. One of them that it looks like. 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:19.800 That Trump wins or Trump people do not go beyond 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.360 Trump to vote. In other words, he is a singular 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:28.400 person and an outlier. It's all of his endorsements mean nothing. 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.560 What matters to MAGA people is only the president. Okay, 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:37.200 that's one takeaway. The other takeaway is there are literally 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.080 three ways and you need all three to determine how 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.880 a race is going to go between a Republican and 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:48.280 a Democrat, or, in the case of Prop fifty Democratic 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.920 leaning Prop fifty Republican meeting leaning against. Two things or 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:57.760 three things. One pulling straight out polling. The other one 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:03.760 is reading the temperature of what the electorate is now, 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.200 putting your finger in the air and seeing which way 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.320 the wind is blowing. The third is how often and 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.400 how strongly does the president say that the election is 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:18.280 rigged and it's a scam. And the more he pushes 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.720 that it's a scam and it's rigged, the more in 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:26.680 trouble the Republicans are because that's him reading the wind. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.400 So it's so we got a lot to talk about. 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.160 So we'll be doing that a little bit later on 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:33.639 the post election day. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.480 All right, quick, hello to one and all.

When 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.200 someone complains, an investigation is opened up, and then that 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.519 person or that organization is replied to by a state bar, 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:27.919 by a state bar adjuster, if you will, or an 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.320 individual who deals with this and then says, we have 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.200 opened up investigation in and then the name of the 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.800 person and we will inform you. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:38.560 As to what happened. 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:44.560 In all three cases, when the complaint read we are 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:49.440 complaining because of a handle's legal advice, the response was 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.280 what legal advice. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:54.120 That answers? 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.280 That doesn't it there They've said that the fore. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.800 Report has better legal advice. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:05.200 Oh? Absolutely, Well, Neil, you're the producer of the Jesus Show. 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.200 How often have I pitched to give marginal spiritual advice? 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:18.920 I would let you get near that program, do it now? 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.239 Okay?

Yeah that 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.359 you know, I don't know if I shared this story 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.240 with Todd Spitzer, who is a friend of the show 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.160 and a friend of mine. For the DA of Orange County, 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.480 was a screener. He started as a screener on Handle 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:49.440 on the Law. That was his foray into showbiz. Anyway, 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.200 we've been friends ever since, and when he ran for 0:04:52.640 --> 0:05:00.479 county supervisor, he asked me to in fact introduce him 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:07.000 to this very conservative Republican religious group of people. And 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.279 he said, Bill, you know, I'm Jewish, but I really 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.200 downplay it, you know, I soft pedal it, So would 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.880 you please please not mention it. I looked at him 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.520 and just stared at him, and he said I shouldn't 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.200 have said that, should I? And I went, Nope, absolutely not. 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.719 So I try to know there's two parts of this story. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.400 So I introduced him, Ladies and gentlemen, is my honor 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.640 to introduce Todd the Jew Spitzer. 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.800 So that was one thing that I did. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.840 The other thing is, during the course there was a 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.920 cocktail party kind of thing. I ended up with three 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.279 nuns who were there arguing whether God existed or not. 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.920 My position was, there is no God to three nuns. 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:57.800 I wish I had recorded that conversation. Okay, the jew Spitzer. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.080 And King Nuns cry. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.640 Yeah, they actually argued with me. I mean, come on, 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:11.000 come on, guys, Yeah, please ask one of them out. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.039 That's very funny. That's actually very full. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.880 Listen, let's just discuss this over a drink. How about 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.840 we'll go half. How about yeah it's wine, but it's 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:22.760 a man of Schevitz. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.159 Okay, we are that's very funny. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.240 Actually, all right, guys, we have plenty to talk about today, 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.800 for sure, So let's start with handle on the news 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:36.760 with Amy, Neil and me lead story. Well. Prop fifty 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:42.760 past overwhelmingly two to one, and the the only issue 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.440 was how much was it going to pass by? How 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.760 much it was going to win by? And two to 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:54.279 one is was at the upper upper echelons of the predictions. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.080 I don't know if most of the pundits said did 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.760 not think it was going to go that much or high, 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.000 So we'll dive into that. Usually I don't ask people 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:06.800 how they voted, but I'm going to on this one, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.360 and please feel free to say I don't want to 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.080 tell you, Bill, and I'm not going to ask Amy 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.280 because I can't. But Neil, I'm guessing you voted no 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:21.000 based on the conversations we've had absolutely, okay, but cone. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.480 But under no no point did I think that that 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.680 was going to sway? 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:25.960 How? 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:26.400 Okay? 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.640 Yeah, that's like a vote for a Democrat or Republican 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:31.520 any presidential in this state. 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:32.480 I want to know. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.080 Yeah, okay, fair enough, Kno, how did you vote? If 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:38.680 you want to share, you voted no? 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:39.080 Wow? 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:44.560 Will? How did you vote? Or Will is recording something 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:50.240 and thought was a freeway? That's true? Well said, and 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:54.840 and you voted yes? Is that true? Okay? I voted, 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:55.880 and I voted yes. 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.680 Not only do I believe in jerry mandering, I just 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.240 like the way the maps look. They're just kind of 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.760 they look like a very complicated puzzle. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:06.680 They're not so complicated. 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:07.280 They're all blue. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.880 Uh well yeah, but they're were within the complication. They're 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.960 you know, one of these things, and they are all blue. 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.600 I think I don't know how many six congressional districts 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:16.480 in the state of California. 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:17.320 Forty three. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.400 It's forty three to nine right now, so it'll be 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.600 forty nine or forty eight to four. 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.120 Yeah, and that's not enough for Democrats. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.880 And it's not because of the overwhelming number in California 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:33.800 California is so blue it doesn't matter. It's replacing a 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:40.240 Republican Republican congress person with a Democrat because Republicans have 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.640 a razor thin majority. And that's what this is about. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.640 On both sides. By the way, both sides are doing 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.440 exactly that. Okay, moving on, and I'll talk more about 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:54.640 this at seven am. 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.719 If he can make it there, mom Donnie can make 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:03.520 it anywhere, Okay. Democratic socialist Zorn Mandami, thirty four years old, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:08.600 has been elected mayor of New York City. He beat 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.720 former Governor Andrew Cuomo. It was like fifty points something 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.040 to forty one point something, and then like seven or 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.640 eight percent for Curtis Sliwa. Mom Donnie said, last night 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.320 we are breathing in the air of a city that 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.800 has been reborn. He said he wishes Andrew Cuomo Cuomo 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.880 only the best in private life, but let tonight be 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.000 the final time I utter his name as we turn 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.080 the page on politics that abandons the many and answers 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.160 only to the few. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:36.120 What do you think is going to happen when he 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.719 first when he has sworn in, and the first thing 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.320 he does is sign a declaration changing the color of 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:46.800 the flag of New York City to red and they 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:51.199 play the Internacional at his inauguration. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:55.880 Do you do you remember all the hubub I wasn't alive, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.320 but all the hubbub about Kennedy because he was a Catholic. 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.680 Oh God, yes, oh yes, I do that. The poet 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:03.760 was going to tell him what to do. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:08.000 Oh yeah. Uh. He was the first Catholic president that 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:09.199 we've had. Uh. 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.640 He wasn't a democratic socialist. Uh no, he was, he was, 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:13.920 he was. 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:18.520 He actually was pretty conservative as as a Democrat. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:20.000 He was. He was. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:24.000 Yeah, he was a Cold War warrior. He was not 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.120 big on civil rights as his brother Robert Kennedy. And 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.080 Robert Kennedy, who is the dad of the Crazy Man, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:35.760 actually ran the campaign. He ran Kennedy's campaign, And let 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.240 me tell you how far it went. There was a 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.440 rally that was going to happen, uh in the basement 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:49.080 of a Catholic church, and they canceled the rally because 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.840 of the fact that it was in a church, in 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.640 the basement of a church, because of the backlash that 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:56.280 was going to happen. 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:57.439 Straight. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.280 Oh man, he considered a pretty radical rightist. 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.920 Oh yeah, well, we're a very conservative Democrat. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.280 Those were the days when Democrats were it was Yeah, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.840 the polarization simply didn't exist. Oh. Also, do you know 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.600 that Kennedy won by maybe one hundred thousand votes across 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.480 the country almost nothing, And most of those votes he 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.840 won by were dead people in Cook County cemetery because 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:29.480 Richard Bailey Daily, the mayor of Chicago, who was very 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.960 close to Kennedy's dad in the days of the bootlegging. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.439 In any case, after Kennedy won by this hair and 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.400 you have to give Richard Nixon credit for this one. 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.880 He could have called for a recount because of the law, 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.520 and he refused to do it. He goes, I'm not 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.360 going to put the country through this. That was Richard Dickson. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.280 Too soon to put him through something else. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.079 Yeah, but that's what Richard Ninston did. I mean, you 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:53.360 have to give him a lot of credit for that. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.400 In any case, if you asked, especially after the assassination, 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.840 how many people voted for Kennedy. Every single person in 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.439 America voted for Kennedy, they all like, oh, yeah, I 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:06.160 voted for them. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.280 Oh yeah, It's like you go to France. You know 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:09.000 how many. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.640 People were after World War Two were in the French Resistance. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.320 I was, I was, I was in the French resistance. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.840 There were four people in the French resistance. Okay, that 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.960 was it. So I just wanted to share with you 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:24.360 how crazy it has been. So Manai Wins considers himself 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:30.640 a social socialist democratic socialist, and I don't think it's 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.920 going to go that far because sitting behind the desk 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.160 is a very different animal than going out and campaigning. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.160 It really is. There's reality that hits all right. 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:42.360 Okay, so Democrats, as Handel's been saying, and you've heard 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.280 on the news all morning, victory as Trump blames GOP 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.720 losses on the shut down, you've got Democrat. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.640 Craps that was not on purpose. 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:56.560 Yeah, people think that micrats swept statewide contests in Virginia, 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.640 New Jersey, here in California and Pennsylvania, even racking up 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:05.800 victories maybe in lower profile races across across the board. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.680 There were an occasional Republican. This was a sweep. 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:13.760 But yeah, absolutely, to say different would be uh, dishonest. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:18.480 But everybody thinks it's a repudiation of the Trump agenda, 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.320 which you can't you know, unsee. But I love the 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:26.560 fact that Trump said is because he's not on the ballot. 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:28.680 You know what, I have to tell you. There's validity 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:28.960 to that. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:34.240 Yes, but that crazy, but that when he's but he's 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.440 right when he's on the ballot Republicans. When when he's 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.040 not on the ballot, the Democrats are win. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.680 There is no Republican party. There's trump Ism. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.080 That's it. That's basically true. That also is true. So 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.480 both are not exclusive or not mutually exclusive. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:59.240 Amy horrific cargo plane crash happened at Muhammad Ali International 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:04.640 Airport in Louisville, Kentucky. A UPS cargo plane was trying 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.400 to take off on its way to Honolulu, and you 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.040 could see in video flames on the plane's left wing 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.200 and a trail of smoke, and then it tried to 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.480 get off the ground, didn't make it and crashed and 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.880 exploded into a huge fireball. And now they've just updated 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.120 it and now it's nine people were killed, three on 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.880 board because it was a cargo plane, and then another 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:27.600 six on the ground. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.840 Yeah, it never made it past one hundred and seventy 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.960 five feet in the air. I mean literally just lifted 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:35.960 off and then went right into the ground. I was 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:42.320 listening to an expert, aviation expert saying yesterday, the size 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:47.080 of that fireball was so extraordinary that he thought that 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.440 it hit a fuel depot, you know, one of those 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.160 tank areas that are under the ground. He said, that's 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:53.920 the only way that this could have been that big 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:54.680 of a fireball. 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.160 Well, if you're just lifting off, wouldn't you have full 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.080 You would, but not to that extent. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.960 Yeah, you would, you would, you'd be it'd be very full. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.320 But again he said, notwithstanding that, all right, we do 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:06.640 one more and then we'll take a break. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:11.280 All right, more remains, unfortunately or fortunately of Hostages and 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.960 Gaza have been turned over. I say that because the 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.160 gruesome reality is there remains. They are now in Israel. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:23.280 It is said by Hamas that they recovered the body 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.480 of an Israeli soldier there in Gaza, and they handed 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.600 over the remains. Israel statement did not indicate whether the 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:32.680 remains were of a soldier or not. 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.560 At this point, and it's going back and forth. 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:41.280 Hamas returns remains in Israel, then hands Hamas back remains. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.480 Bizarre that they keep remains. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.880 Usually when you have opposing sides, they release the dead 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.680 to the other side for burial. I mean they are 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:55.040 not held as hostages the bodies of soldiers or civilians. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.000 I mean, it's really that whole war is crazy over there, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:58.800 completely nuts. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.720 Sounds like some but he didn't do their homework on this. 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:09.800 A series of loopholes quietly negotiated by the insurance industry 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:15.400 have neutralized requirements by the state that would have resulted 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:19.200 in many homes being covered by traditional insurance companies. That's 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.040 according to a report by The New York Times. But 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:26.240 apparently the New York Times says this rule to keep 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.560 homeowners insured had all these loopholes in it, and it 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:37.040 allowed the insurance companies to cancel insurance policies and also 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:37.960 jack up rights. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:44.040 Any surprise the insurance industry is that powerful. Any surprise 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:44.560 at all? 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.160 Well, shouldn't the insurance Commissioner of California caught these loopholes? 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.040 I think he negotiated those loopholes. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.080 He says that he was bullied into it. 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:57.080 Okay, Well that doesn't mean he wasn't. That doesn't mean 0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.440 he didn't negotiate them. It just means he was bullied 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.440 into them, which I don't understand because the insurance negotiator 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:09.280 is the one that decides what the rates are going 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.040 to be so go figure. 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:18.399 Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy came out just on Tuesday and 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.920 said that his department may have to close certain parts 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.080 of the country's airspace next week. Now this is all 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.480 because of the government shut down, of course, and we've 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:32.480 been seeing this escalate as more and more people working 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:38.720 for the airport are working for free essentially at this point. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.320 So with the shutdown, it would be dishonest to say so, 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:46.040 says Duffy, that more risk is not injected into the 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:50.639 system and the situation, he says, has four stair traffic 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.760 controllers to make difficult financial decisions. Some of them are 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.320 getting second jobs their family. 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.439 This is a risk the Trump administration, I think is 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.400 taking because they can find money somewhere in the budget. 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.120 Remember the budget is in the trillions and trillions of dollars. 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.240 They can move around money they did with this Armed Services, 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:14.840 they did with other departments. And this has become a 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:19.120 political football of extraordinary levels. And have you seen it's 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:23.720 not even this department is closed because of funding. 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:25.480 It's this department is. 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:30.120 Closed because the Democrats won't vote to open up the government. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:31.720 And that's right in front. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.399 You can't even believe that the politics of saying this 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.600 is open, this is closed. And how about the one 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.400 that said this department is closed due to the duplicitus 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.399 stabbing back bastard Democrats who won't vote to keep the 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:46.080 government open. 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.720 There's two parties, there's two sides, and to be able 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.240 to blame it on one side or the other, his hasse. 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:53.520 Oh, that's what's going on with this one. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.760 And I think the Republican is going to lose on 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.480 this one because already the Americans are. 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:00.959 Blaming Republicans for this. 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.040 Absolutely, the optics are horrible. 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:05.800 Yep, all right, one more before we take a break. 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.840 Uh, let's take a closer look at this one, shall we. 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:15.000 The federal judge who's overseeing former FBI Director James Comy's 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:19.080 legal challenge to the appointment of Lindsay Halligan as the 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:23.560 US Attorney to the Eastern District is telling prosecutors to 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.280 hand over the transcript of Halligan's presentation to the grand 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.159 jury that voted to indict Comy. So you'll remember, Comy 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.879 pleaded not guilty to these charges. The charges were bought, 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.560 were brought by the grand jury, two charges, and Lindsay 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.800 Halligan was appointed to cover that because the first person 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:45.640 who was supposed to do it didn't want to bring 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:47.840 the charges or refused to, and so Trump got rid 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.720 of her or him and replaced him with Halligan. 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.560 Now, is right? 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.240 Yeah, an indictment by the grand jury is a secret proceeding. 0:19:57.880 --> 0:19:58.840 There was one witness. 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.919 That's quite often that happens based on one witness, and 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.760 that judge said, I want to see those transcripts, which 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:09.639 is very which is very unusual, very And then the 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:14.120 whole issue of whether or not she should even take 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.240 that position because the Senate did not confirm her. 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.040 And this is also a political football. 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:21.920 I mean, we're gonna we're gonna see three and a 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:23.440 half year or three years of. 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:24.960 This coming up. All right. 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:29.920 Predatory solicitation. We've heard the story. 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:35.680 In the La Times about the sexual abuse claims against 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:40.720 La City, and those have shed light on something that's 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:44.280 going on that they refer to as predatory salespeople who 0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:49.240 stand out in front of the social services offices and 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:54.240 try and use these aggressive I don't know solicitation techniques. 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.400 I guess to talk to people that are seeking food 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:00.240 stamps that cache aid that obviously are going to think 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:07.399 through things and woo them to you know, suing or 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.080 participating in things to make money. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.639 How double sleazy is this when you take people that 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.200 are on this level of vulnerability. 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.680 Well, they're not even running after the ambulance at this point, 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:21.399 waiting for the ambulance to come to them. So in 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:26.840 this particular case, this does tie into the county's sex 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:31.639 abuse lawsuit. But also yeah, but just all it like 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.520 they're saying they're going to build a buffer zone. 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.320 They just don't know how to do it just yet. 0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:38.960 Yeah, and how far out solicitation, because you can solicit 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:40.720 I mean, that's the law. 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:50.080 Alex is opting out yous. Senator Alex Padilla announced that 0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:54.560 he will not be running for governor of California next year. 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:57.040 There's been speculation about it for months that he might 0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:00.199 do it, but he said he's not going to and 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.560 said instead he will focus on countering President Trump's agenda 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:04.520 in Congress. 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:09.359 Yeah, that doesn't matter because if he resigns, you have 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:14.080 Gavin Newsom was going to just appoint another liberal senator. 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.200 So I don't get what he is going to do 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:22.880 that another senator that the governor would appoint would not do. Now, 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.760 this is an interesting announcement because what he did is 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.840 this is a big win for Newsom, big. 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:32.440 Win for Newsom. 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:40.119 The number of name recognized politicos in this state on 0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:44.000 the Democratic side is now dropping, now winnowing down. 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:46.920 And Newsom put his entire. 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:50.479 Political he put I think he put a political record, 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.680 this political future on Prop fifty and he got such 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:58.960 a massive win that this thing catapulted him in terms 0:22:58.960 --> 0:22:59.840 of him will forever. 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.440 He tied to his name like he gets that credit one. Yeah, 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:06.879 he does, all right. David Beckham, God bless him. 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:07.080 Man. 0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.720 This guy has nothing going for him, not you know, 0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:15.080 not very attractive, ugly wife, not talent and all that stuff. 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:18.080 But he got knighted. Good for him, knighted by King 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:23.520
