WEBVTT - Looking For Good News? Look Somewhere Else 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:17.280 Getty and know he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.360 With that fire danger looming, families in southern California are 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.560 shell shot and worried a new inferno could break out. 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.840 They've got everything prepared. You can see the monumental amount 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.360 of resources of fire truck here, one tucked in there, 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:38.840 another one. 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.120 In that driveway five six, and. 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:44.360 On down almost every block as fire trucks here in 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.159 this canyon. We spoke with La County Fire Chief Anthony Broni. 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.160 There is another Santa Ana wind event. 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:52.280 Forecast for next week. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.000 Yes, yes, the La County Fire Department's going to be ready. 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:00.400 So the farks continue and hopefully the word of it 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.920 is over in terms of creating more damage. If you're 0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:07.640 if you lost everything, the worst of it is not over. 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:09.080 You're it's still in the middle of the worst of it, 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:10.240 and you might be in the worst of it for 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.680 a very long time. Then you got the weird situations 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.520 we were talking about a little bit ago about neighborhoods. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.399 We know a few people like this where everything is 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:20.480 gone except for your house for whatever reason. And uh, 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.119 how weird that would be if you're the one house 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.640 in the block that survived, or you're you're you're the 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.120 part of the homes where the fire stopped for some reason, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.600 but everything next to it and the neighborhood has gone, 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:35.720 and so you're surrounded by you know, it looks like Gaza, 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:39.000 your local gas station and grocery stores burnt down. Your 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.760 kid's school is gone. I mean, it's not near the 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.880 same neighborhood you used to live in, even though your 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.360 house is still there. I'd be that'd be wild. How 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.040 many years before that comes back? 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.440 Well, and you're living in a burnout healthscape and yeah, 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.400 I don't know what the air quality is going to be. 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:59.080 And then there is going to be eventually never ending 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.960 clearing of row I mean, oh my god, eighteen hours 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:08.440 a day, and then never ending infrastructure repair and construction, 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.320 like you're living in the middle of a brand new subdivision. 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.239 Yeah, yeah, just it's unthinkable. 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.920 And the rebuilding, of course, no matter your imagination, you 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:24.320 cannot fully imagine the just the suffering and the annoyance 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.560 and the stress. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.200 A lot of pressure already on the government to streamline 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.040 making that easier, and Gavin Newsom's done away with a 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.560 lot of the permits and environmental regulations and everything like that. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.840 Reason Magazine tweeted out yesterday, they're the libertarian outfit. If 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:45.520 removing permit and review processes will help California communities recover 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.840 faster and stronger after the wildfires, wouldn't there permanent removal 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.320 help the state deal with its housing shortages? Of course, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.520 pretty impossible to counter that thought. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:03.720 Wow, yeah, it's it's ridiculous. California's problems are entirely of 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:04.520 its own making. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:09.040 Oftentimes things are so Bill Burr, comedian, was on Jimmy 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.919 Kimmel last night. This gets into a topic we've covered 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.359 quite a bit, but we'll cover it again in case 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.960 you don't understand it yet. How is Bill Burr the 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:22.480 father the husband in an emergency situation? I don't know. 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.160 I'm all right, I'm alright. When big stuff happens, I 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.000 get ridiculously calm my achilles, heel stop that. Sorry, we 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.640 need six, not seven. I don't know why we get 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:31.160 some six. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.440 Yes, and they are talking about looting, but CNN and 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.480 Fox News are not going to bring up the insurance 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.680 companies that are just going to keep everybody's. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.720 Premiums and still give themselves a bonus. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:43.800 Free Luigi. 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.320 They acted surprise, Why did that happen? I have no 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.360 he wrote on the bullets, why it happened? 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:56.680 Oh we're back to Luigi. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.960 Okay, yeah, yeah, I never left Luigi. 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:08.200 Wow. The hilarity ensues around Luigi the Murderer. Wow. And 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.280 the crowd thought it was funny. A crowd just nah. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.080 Of course they might have been shocked. Sometimes people laugh 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.800 whim shocked. Kimil thought it was hilarious. Bill Burr obviously 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.880 thinks it's good material for his crowd. I like, I'm 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.480 a Bill Bill Burr fan, but again, just so everybody 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:26.039 sends it. And I have been screwed by a number 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.479 of insurance companies and I'm sure I will be again. 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.520 In my life, it has always seemed to me that 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.800 you pay your whole life, and then when you need them, 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.440 they either drop you or raise the rates enough to 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.880 cover how much they just gave you. I mean, that's 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.760 been like mostly my experiences. So I'm not, you know, 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.200 all about helping out the insurance companies. But in California 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.520 they passed a law that you were not allowed to 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:51.640 raise your premiums, even though with inflation and all kinds 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.320 of other things happening throughout the pandemic in the last 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.240 four years, it costs so much more to fix your house. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.880 There was just no mathematical way they could continue to 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.400 be in business in California. If it costs, you know, 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.480 one and a half times what it used to cost 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.000 to fix your house, they can't charge the same premium. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.200 Obviously it doesn't work. 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.960 Yeah, costs your up seventy percent. You can raise your 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:18.159 premiums ten percent. We're leaving, was the answer, right, appropriately, Right. 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:23.760 It's the biggest market in America, might even be statistically 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.840 the world California for insurance companies, and all the big 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.760 companies left because it didn't make mathematical sense anymore. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.200 Free Luigi, Yeah, talk. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.520 About looters, talk about the insurance companies, says Bill Burr. 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.880 I just wish more people understood that, so we could 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.160 come to some sort of Okay, the insurance companies, I 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.640 hate them too, but let's figure out what they should 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.479 be doing in a fair world where they're allowed to 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:50.440 function well, and the things that they do that are indefensible, 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.960 then regulations can reasonable regulations can be put in place 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.479 and are in place to prevent that sort of screwing. Actually, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:04.280 in terms of consumer friendliness, California is very much insurance 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:08.440 wise to the point of absurdity, driving all the companies 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.159 out of the state for political purposes. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.599 It's just not realistic as usual. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.960 That Free Luigi thing and the reaction of Jimmy Kimmel. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.800 I'm trying to think, has there been anything like that 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.040 that I can think of in my life? 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:26.599 A cold blooded murder of a husband and father celebrated 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:27.720 because people don't. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:32.000 Like his company. I don't know. Wow, I don't know. 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.960 Troubling Bill Burr is a comedian who primarily, you know, 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:41.840 performs for youngish people and is irreverent and says things 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:43.880 he might not necessarily believe to get a rise. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.160 I get what comedy is. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.960 But seriously, now, if we were to accept that any 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.920 industry that. 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.960 Had a history of activity that. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:01.680 Most consumers resent their executives open season for their murder. 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.040 Airlines shoot the shoot the guy runs southwest, shoot him 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.960 in the street. Yeah, I hate the way they treated 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:12.040 me all these years. United Airlines, whatever hospital serves, you 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.520 know that the doctor's companies. Rennakarker whatever, whatever company you 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.040 don't like, the phone company, pharmaceuticals. 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:19.480 You think of dozens of them. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.720 Now you're electric bill. Yeah, obviously there's the endless list 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.960 of companies you're not really pleased with. You don't get 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:25.680 to murder them. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.400 Yeah, there are a lot of good people trying to 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.080 do better within those companies, and you might murder one 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:31.320 of them. 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.800 Plus murder is wrong anyway. Uh Well, once you start 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.600 down that road. We've had this discussion ever since the murder. 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.320 Once you start down that road, it's all over. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:49.360 It's all over civilization. You may yes, it's crazy wild West. 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.720 You're you're living in uh. I don't know where's lawless 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:53.360 the Sudan. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:08:00.600 So a couple of factoids for you, uh borrows. Homes 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:03.360 burned down are still on the hook for monthly mortgage 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.240 payments in the long run, even though there is not 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:11.720 a house there, but many will get temporary relief. Homeowners 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.360 usually have the option to pause mortgage payments for as 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.240 much as a year if they are impacted by a 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:17.040 natural disaster. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:18.680 Have you heard anybody even take a. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:24.360 Wild guess as to the average time till the rebuilding 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:26.840 of the average home in Los Angeles? 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.760 I haven't. I haven't even heard of speculation. But like 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:31.760 you tell me, off the top of your head, off 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.000 the top of my head, if I just lost my house, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.720 I'm thinking it's two or three years before I live 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:39.959 in a home on that spot. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.520 Again, what do you think, Oh, that's a minimum, Yeah, 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:45.840 minimum fare minimum. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.960 I mean there are only so many contractors, right, It'd 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.920 be so long from now. I wouldn't even really be 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:55.560 thinking about it because I'd know that for years I'm 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.800 living somewhere else, So I got to figure out what 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.000 that is with the schooling and my work and everything else. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.760 I would agree, I can't even imagine what it's gonna 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.160 be like to sort this out. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.200 And just as an aside, I also don't know about you, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.440 but I would be looking into some sort of situation 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.800 where I'm gonna try to buy a new house somewhere 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.400 else and start my life and then when that gets built, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.080 sell it or something. I mean, what are you gonna 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:20.840 put your life on a hold and go back there? 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.800 I guess a lot of people are right. I can't. 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.480 I can't imagine how you deal with it, honestly, very 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.040 obviously a person of person, but it's it's to call 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.520 it disruptive is not nearly enough. Some of the most 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.840 famous real estate in the world burnt to the ground. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.760 There was that mansion, that hilltop mansion that cost fifty 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.400 million dollars to build over a dozen years, whatever it was, 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.320 and it's sold for eighty three million or something like that. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:44.880 I can't remember. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.040 It's got a name, Jimmy the house, I don't know. 0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.760 I don't name my houses. I should, though it's classic. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.680 But that place is ruined. It's done, it's burnt. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.520 All sorts of ten twenty seventy million dollar houses are 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.320 just gone. Tony. I heard a story from somebody yesterday. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.920 I didn't know this was a thing. Somebody whose friend 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:12.120 their house survived. The firefighters got there, came in, took 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.640 all the furniture out of the living room that was 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.680 made out of wood and threw it in their pool, 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.840 and then hosed down the walls with some sort of 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:23.800 fire retardant and went to the next house and then 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.840 the house. The house survived the flames coming by that interesting. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:28.760 I didn't know that was a thing. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.880 Well, that's the best case, and that's going to be horrendous. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.679 I didn't know it. Repairs there new placements. 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.280 And in the context of the other two hundred and 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.880 seventy five houses in your little development there are gone, 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.680 and they're trying to hire contractors, repair people. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.920 And the rest of it, I can't even imagine. 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.800 No anyway forbearans is what they call pausing your mortgage 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.040 payments for a certain amount of time. Mortgage companies are 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.720 required to offer it on the roughly forty percent of 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.800 mortgages backed by Fanny Mae and Freddie Mack. Loans backed 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.440 by the FAHA and the VA have similar guidance. Loans 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.920 that do not have federal backing, like jumbo mortgages, may 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.600 also be eligible for for barants. That depends on mortgage 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.440 companies that service these loans. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.160 But if you were not eligible for this, so you go. 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.640 You got to keep taking making your house payment for 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.400 that three to five years we were talking about while 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.960 you're living renting a place. 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:23.680 Wow. 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.280 Yeah, Well, and residents whose homes were damaged or destroyed 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.240 might also be eligible for property tax relief. But paying 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.720 a mortgage and property tax on a pile of ash 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:42.000 wife one more somewhat sobering headline. Right south West's pilots 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.880 would like to listen to this sobriety seems to be 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:45.920 a bit of a challenge. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.360 Wow, that's unfair. 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:53.080 A little noticed rule change last year by California's insurance 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.840 regulator will likely shift a large chunk of the cost 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.400 of the LA wildfires two homeowners. 0:11:57.920 --> 0:11:58.640 Across the state. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.679 Pushed by insurers, the change puts California homeowners on the 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.319 hook to pay directly toward the cost of rebuilding from 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.400 very large disasters, even though fatter insurance built I'm sorry 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.319 through fatter insurance bills, whether they were exposed to the 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.680 LA fire or not. Dave Jones, former California insurance commissioner, 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.559 who was not a crook unlike the current cabal, says 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.160 that would be a huge wake up call for Californian 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.720 is because they have no idea that the rules have changed. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:29.800 The new policy effects the backstop for California's Fare Plan, 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.920 which is the insurer of last resort because so many 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.679 thousands and thousands and thousands of homeowners in cal Unicornea 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.240 can't get coverage because the aforementioned bad rules. So the 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.080 rule change means insurance companies can build their customers if 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.959 they're forced to bail out the plan, which has an 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.680 estimated two hundred million dollars in cash and two point 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.520 five million billion dollars in reassurance, which is not going 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.720 to be nearly enough to cover their share of the 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:56.720 losses from the fires. 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.080 That could be double or triple. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.080 So all of our insurance is going to go up. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.440 Skyrocket probably nice. I know. 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.440 Looking for good news somewhere else. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:10.200 We'll keep looking and get back to you. 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:18.160 The ceasefire deal decent chance it falls apart. If you 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.800 haven't heard the latest, explain that among other things on 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:26.480 the way. You know, one of the best things about 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.360 being a next big leaguer is getting preties to the 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.680 game call the front office bingo, and. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.400 Once these fans recognize me, I probably won't even have 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:34.760 to pay for my life pere from Miller. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:37.679 I love them, these fans. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:37.719 No. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.319 I drink white because it's less pilling and it tastes great. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:40.920 Good. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.280 See, sir, we're in a row scape, buddy, Come on, no, 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:44.320 I must. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:44.520 Be in the front. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.840 My light beer from Miller everything you always wanted in 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:48.600 a beer. 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:53.040 And less Let's see, Hey, buddy, he missed the tag. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:57.280 He missed attack. The great Bob Bucker has passed. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:02.320 Ladies and gentlemen, ball player, actor, a commentator and funny man. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.439 You gotta be a certain age to remember when he 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.559 used to go on Carson back in the day when 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.240 I was a kid. Loved his appearances. Yeah, he was 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.920 a major league baseball player turn comedian, really hilarious guy. 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.520 Well he was a He was a very mediocre player, 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.080 and he made a career of it making a joke, 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.760 really self great, self deprecating humor. He is in the 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:27.880 movie Major League, just doing his act again. We'll tell 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.240 his stories about how I wasn't very fast runner, so 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.840 when i'd run, I'd move my hand up like this 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.480 and knock my hat off to look like it was 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:34.520 I was going faster. 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:39.479 Oh that's beautiful. 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:41.240 I have one more clip. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:42.000 Would you like to hear it? 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.320 Sure? When the most Game Show is brought to you 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:49.040 by christ I can't find it. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.760 The hell with it? That's all. We got one damn hit. 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.360 You can't say damn on the air. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:03.360 I don't worry, nobody's listening anyway. The Great Bob Buker's 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:08.200 pass Jack more disappointing news. A famous cartoonist who is 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.920 syndicated by the Washington Post, has made a career out 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:16.840 of portraying Republicans as Nazis and perverts and sickos and 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.960 the rest of it. Has been arrested for child porn charges. 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:25.840 Who in the Sacramento, California area. Oh my god, one 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.480 forty nine year old Darren Bell, who again had I 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.200 was just looking at a collection of his cartoons portrayed 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:37.600 Trump as Hitler, among other things. Ah, there was a 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.360 tip to the Child Sex Abuse National Center for Missing 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:45.200 and Exploited Children Child Sex Abuse material Line, and he 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.440 was arrested with one hundred and thirty four videos. 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.320 And many many images, et cetera. Has been tried. 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:52.720 That is so disgusting. 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:54.440 Yeah, it is. It is. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.240 First of all, it's disgusting and twisted, and I think 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.280 those people's brains are broken and can't be fixed. But 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.280 how do you think you're gonna get away with it? 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.960 You really think that nobody's going to get into your 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.160 computer somehow and find you. I just can't imagine that. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.120 I guess the compulsion is that strong. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.320 Oh that's horrifying. That is horror. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.680 If you're looking for a logical explanation, yeah, I can't 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.480 even imagine. It's an affliction. I think in a sickness. 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.119 So coming up a quick review of America's college campuses. 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.240 It feels like we're kind of winning the war against 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.160 woke and DEEI, oh my lord, we have miles to 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.040 go before we sleep. The wah Pole has announced their 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.040 new slogan. Remember it used to be democracy dies in darkness. 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.680 I do think this is a better direction for them, 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.080 and we got to check it. On the Middle East 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.520 peace deal, which maybe falling apart, I got dang it. 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.600 I've spent so much time reading about this I left 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:52.680 out maybe the key, probably the key why Israel is 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.960 pursuing this, because I've been saying all morning long, I 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.840 understand why they would make this deal. Well, there is 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.320 a good reason for them to make this deal. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.840 Who gets the most credit? A very silly discussion between 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.720 Trump and Biden. How's this likely to come out? Is 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.520 it a good deal? And what about the hostages? So 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.760 many questions. We'll have some answers. If you can't stick around, 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.560 grab the podcast Armstrong You Getty. 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.280 On demand Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.239 There's some question about whether Hamas knows where each one 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.919 of these hostages are, how long it may take to 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.520 get them all together. There are thirty three in this 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.920 first group, we're not sure how many are alive. Beyond that, 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.679 it'll be a joyous occasion when those thirty three get reunited, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:35.000 but it's going to be pretty tense about all of 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:35.480 the rest. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.440 Yeah, that's pretty up in the air. Question how many 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.520 hostages are alive and what kind of condition are they 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.760 in is a heck of a thing. As David Sanger 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:44.880 of The New York Times talking about the peace deal 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:50.520 before this happened last night. So the acting leader of AMAS, 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.560 you might remember the former leader of HAMAS threw a 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.280 chunk of wood at a drone and then got his 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.119 head bloot off. Remember that whole story. 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.600 It has passed. Yes, Jack has passed. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.760 A timely death, actually untimely. It'd have been better if 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.920 he died before October seventh. But that guy is dead, 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.159 and so this is the current acting leader of HAMAS 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:14.480 releases this video last night after the news breaks of 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:15.160 a peace deal. 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.119 We also got a statement overnight from the de facto 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.000 leader of HAMAS, who released this about the deal. 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.040 What happened on October seventh a miracle, a military achievement, 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.199 and a security achievement carried out by al casombriad Or 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.600 remain a source of pride for our people and our resistance, 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.880 though will we passed down from generation to generation after 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:35.320 it struck a fatal blow to the end. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.400 That statement's important because it illustrates the type of pressure 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.200 that is currently being faced by the Israeli government. Hamas 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.280 is claiming victory. We saw images last night from inside 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:49.880 the Gaza strip of Hamas gunman freely going around and 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.800 celebrating what they are calling an achievement, promising to conduct 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:57.640 yet another October seventh attack, and it raises real questions 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.919 about how this agreement is going to be accepted, especially 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.840 among the right wing coalition of the Israeli Prime Minister. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.200 So imagine somebody kidnaps your kid, you make a deal 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.680 with him, and as you're making the deal, they say 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:11.919 to you, I'm going to as soon as I can, 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:15.840 I'm gonna kidnap your kid again. Yeah, what kind of 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.919 a deal I'm making here. So apparently that took the 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.360 right wingers in the people that are to the right 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.040 of net and Yahoo in his government said no freaking way, 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:25.760 we're on this, and that's why they have not had 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.000 a vote now. They were supposed to vote yesterday, but 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.480 now they have not had a vote on whether or 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:33.640 not they're going to go forward with this deal. 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:36.320 Yeah, the deal has not been agreed to. 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.760 I also wanted to point out the statement by the 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.800 leader of mo Oswell, I get it in his world 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.720 of extremists quote unquote domestic politics, why he would say 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.160 something like that. It also just illustrates the utter insanity 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:52.680 of two days after October seventh, the Biden administration saying Israel, 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:56.760 you've got to have a ceasefire. A good lord. It's 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:02.200 unspeakably dumb. Anyway, a few more details. BB Netniaho announced 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.000 earlier today that the long waited ceasefire deal is on 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:09.959 hold because of a last minute crisis, which including the 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:14.280 bragging about the pride in October seventh. Net Nyahu delayed 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:18.200 his cabinet voting Thursday, accusing Hamas of a last minute 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.159 blackmail attempt. There's more to this. In part that included 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.800 the terror group objecting to a part of the agreement 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.439 that gave Israel the right to refuse the release of 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:32.520 certain Palestinian prisoners accused of murders, said net Nyahoo's office 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:35.080 in a statement. Quote Hamas is demanding that it determined 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.240 the identity of the terrorists to be released and that 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.600 was not agreed to, and Israel said that we can't 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.560 agree to that. So you know, I'm swear I'm not 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:45.919 saying this to pat myself on the back. But I 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.919 didn't believe yesterday that it was a done deal, and 0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.800 I sure as hell don't believe that today is a 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.040
