BHS - 7A – Arnold Palmers 'Club' Size

flies in on the Trump plane. It is you've seen those letters nineteen feet high on the plane, comes in, goes off the plane front of Electron at the bottom of the stairs, does his thing and leaves. And it's a very effective way to campaign. And even though there were from what's being reported by the New York Times, several hundred people there and that was it. It's really not for those hundreds of people or thousands of people.

It's because it's covered like crazy. National news covers it, certainly local news, and it is just a neat way to get the message across. So twelve minutes of his rally and he goes on forever. At most of his rallies, he got into describing Arnold Palmer and the size of his Palmer, that Arnold Palmer has a very large fontz

or did and that was twelve minutes of it. Also well included a bunch of remarks about it and gave him a lot of accolades, and then went on to talk about Harris and use the four letter word for crap. Am I even allowed. I don't think I'm allowed to say the actual word. Am I, No, I can't. Anyway, he does that, and he goes, she is, and then

the crowd screams the word. And anyway, the point of this one is the backlash he is getting for talking about Arnold's schwantz and in a big way literally and figuratively. He said that when Arnold Palmer Palmer would go into the shower, the other golfers would come out and they go, wow, look at that. That's my god, that's unbelievable. Went on to say, I refuse to say it, but then of course he went on to say it, and Trump chuckles.

I mean it was funny, and he said later on, I have to tell you about the shower part because it's true. What can I tell you? We want to be honest, any other politician talking about someone else's Schwantz would go down in a heartbeat. The problem is among those that are anti Trump, this does not hurt him, it doesn't help him. There were interviews all through the weekend where staunch Republicans would say, Hey, I don't like it, but let's talk about the issues even if Trump does

not talk about a lot of the issues. And I'll tell you why this one doesn't. I don't know what the outrage is. This is Donald Trump. This is the kind of stuff that he says. He has a pass. He is teflon in that regard. He can just keep on going. And for those people that are pro Trump, that's going to change anybody's mind. For those people that are anti Trump, is that going to change anybody's mind? Everybody knows who he is now. There is some stuff that he has ordered, that he has uttered that I

think is dangerous. Beside a dead Arnold Palmer's fonse, I don't care. The argument that Barack Obama, for example, was not born in the United States and was ineligible to be the president, that one I have a problem with. Also arguing about the election. You know how I feel about the election. The lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, arguing that the election was rigged. That's problematic the rest of this stuff. Frankly, I just think it's who cares really now?

The independence is these people are going to decide the presidency in the battleground states. Most of the electorate, the thinking is already baked in. Either your four or you're not. And unfortunately, there are a lot of Democrats that refuse to vote, period. And that's what's scaring the Democrats. This is why Barack Obama is going out and hard, hard pressing for Democrats to go out and vote, particularly black men.

For some reason, they are just not coming out in droves, far less terms of the polls than they did so for Joe Biden. But when it comes to all of this, I mean, who cares even the independence. Let's say I'm independent, I am not. You know my position as far as Donald Trump, and I'm not even talking policy, I believe he's just unfit to be the president. That's it. It's just that simple. I hold the presidency in such high regard that I do not want someone of this ilk

to be president. And in many cases I agree. Policy wise, I think Kamala Harris is crazy in a lot of places, well, she's going to stop the overcharging, the gouging. I don't even know what that means from the food companies, particularly the supermarkets. I don't know what gouging is at what price? Ten percent profit, twenty percent profit. So in many ways I think she's out of her mind. But when it comes to this sort of stuff, come on, guys, this

is Trump and this is what he does. And by the way, Arnold Palmer, from what I understand, did have a big schwantz. Now, as I said earlier when we were doing the news, he was noted for doing rope tricks and he didn't have a rope. I mean, the guy was you know, Oh my god, look at the size of that thing. He was a man's man, as far as Trump was concerned. A real man's man basically look like a baby's arm with an apple in its fist. Okay,

I don't want to describe it. God, I don't know what you're I just wanted to make sure that you understood the visual here. Now there's a story. Oh, before I get into that, I'm gonna remind you or tell you coming up at eight o'clock. As you know today, I've just come back from my vacation and I was overseas in Europe, Ireland and Italy, and I talked to a whole lot of people about the presidential election. I'm going to share with you what I got from it

amongst dozens of people. I'll share that coming up at eight o'clock in the meantime, talking about the presidential coming up in a couple of weeks, Elon Musks. Musk has announced that he is warning a million dollars a day to a randomly chosen voter who has signed his petition pledging to uphold the rights to free speech and to bear arms. And this is like almost saying register to vote. Not quite. The argument is that this may be illegal, and a lot of Democrats are saying nope, this may

be illegal. Why because federal law does not allow anything of value to be given to anybody to either vote or to register to vote. And the argument is for him to say, if you sign this petition that is from his American pack, his America pack, and it's clearly to boost Donald Trump in his presidential election, if you sign this, We're going to at random pick someone that gets a million dollars whoever signs his petition. And somebody has already done that and made a made a video

the winner. You can see him and the boy. It's all over the social sat on as on a sofa and this oversized version of his million dollar check and urges people to head to the polls. So is what he has done legal? Yeah, because he's not actually asking people to register. He is saying sign this petition that talks about Second Amendment rights and free speech. And that's one of the prime platform statements that Donald Trump and

the conservatives, the evangelicals even have said. Freedom of speech means that the separation of church and state, which has been sacrisyanct in the US since the liberal courts have said so, is now coming back. Prayer in school, silent prayer. The Supreme Court even talked about how you cannot have silence. Let's take a moment of silence that was considered religion.

I mean, the court really went pretty far. It was I mean, there was a lawsuit about and it was a father who fould lawsuit against forcing students to stand up and say the Pledge of Allegiance because it says under God. Therefore, people who are not religious are being stigmatized and are actually being forced to accept the fact that they're teaching God. Well, basically lost. The Supreme Court said, you know, too bad on that one. Same thing with money in God we trust, which by the way, started

I think in the fifties. A court after court said nah, and the Supreme Court said, nah, we're going to accept that one, too bad, even though the argument was violation of separation of church and state. Now you're going to see a lot more religion because the courts have gone to that point. It's a very conservative court and Elon Musk has jumped all over this, and what he is saying is prayer in school effectively freedom of religion. That's

what it means today. Second Amendment rights, well, we all know what that is. And therefore you can win a million bucks if all you do is sign this petition, and it's to engage the electorate to get them. And by the way, I think you have to when you sign the petition, your email goes on there and tell me you're not getting anything inundated with emails from the Trump campaign and other Republican campaigns. And this is just another way for and it's a clever way of doing this.

By the way, it's when you think about Elon Musk throwing at this point seventy five million dollars into his pack to push for Trump. You know, in the battleground states, you can't buy any more airtime. You can't. They're completely sold out. You cannot buy a television commercial, you cannot buy a radio commercial. You can't. So where do you go. You have to find out different ways of doing it. Boots on the ground, for example, knocking on doors. That's

where most of the money is being spent. Right now, Elon Musk has gone from I think Donald Trump Donald Trump is a jerk, to just an awesome supporter and throwing his money. He truly believes that Donald Trump is the end all be all, And there was talk about does he get a position in the administration if he supports Trump? If you remember that initial talk, he will. It'll be a non paid position. It'll be some kind of commission in terms of technology, but he will be

a member of the administration. If Donald Trump gets elected. And he came out, god, really weird. I mean, Musk is a weird guy. You've got a weird guy in a weird presidential candidate. So Musk comes out at one of the rallies and starts dancing and the same thing that Trump does, starts dancing. By the way, have you seen Trump dance? Boy? Can that man dance? Oh yeah, you talk about rhythm? Who can he dance? That is? You think there were a few memes on that one.

All right, guys, we're done with that. Coming up the death of Yeah Yah Sinwar, the head of Haramas. We're going to talk a little bit about how the hamasnik has died, as well as other high end members of Hamas and the hierarchy, and Wyatt means is basically nothing. And everybody thought, oh my god, they killed them. Therefore were on our way to some kind of negotiation. No, no, and it's both side's fault, and I will tell you

why that is. And then coming up at eight o'clock, my conversation with people overseas, Ireland and Italy about this presidential election and two themes. Two themes were going through all of it, and I'll share that with you now. The other thing is a little international in scope, and I was listening to the news as I was overseas, and that is the death of Yeah Yah Sinwar, the Kamas leader who was in jail, by the way, for twenty years in Israel for and convicted of a terrorist attack.

And during one of the negotiations, particularly it was when Guy shild Or she had Guy Leel, the Israeli soldier was picked up and held for six years and there was a ransom where there was an agreement. A thousand Palestinian prisoners were released for this one Israeli and among them was Sinwar and he's the one that actually masterminded

the October seventh attack. So this is a bad guy that Israel desperately wanted to either capture, which was never going to happen, or killed, and he was killed sort of in a fluke way. Israel just got lucky. It was a regular wasn't an attack on him, it was it wasn't a military move to kill him. It was just a regular fight with the Hamas fighters and Israel and Israel patrol and boom, they got him. So he's now dead. So what happens because he was a hard

hard liner, We keep on this war no matter what. Well, I'll tell you why, nothing's going to change because the Hamas leadership, we don't even know who's in the leadership, because Israel has taken out the hierarchy completely, and so there's a vacuum, but it's going to be filled. But what the thinking is among Hamas leadership is that we just keep the war going. It's good for Hamas to keep the war going. Why because they're going to lose in the short run. I mean, look what's happening to Gaza.

But when this is over, they will declare victory because we were able to fight the Israelis and off they go and Gaza is now once again its own state without Israeli occupation. And the fact that forty two thousand Palestinians have been killed and I only count about two thirds of that because a third of those are Hamas militants and I don't view them as being killed in innocence in any way. And more are going to be killed.

And two point two million have been displaced, which is ninety something percent of the entire population of Gaza, and two thirds of Gaza has been decimated. I mean two thirds of the entire country has been effectively wipe out in terms of infrastructure, in terms of homes and buildings and roads. Even getting humanitarian aid has been cut off Israel, says oh we're allowing humanitarian aid. That's just not true.

It is a croc nitianna who is and I'm going to say this, this guy believes in this war and for personal reasons too. I don't think it has much to do with global geopolitics. I think he just wants to stay in power. Because let me tell you what happens once he is out of power. His trial for corruption moves on. Right now, he can't be tried because

he is head of state. That sound familiar. Once he leaves office, he's just a guy who is accused of total corruption and I think he's going to be convicted. So for him to stay in power is everything. And how do you stay in power a war? Nobody removes ahead of state during a war, and that's what's going on with him. And then you have Hamas that they'd rather have the war than not. And why is that?

Because when the war is over all of a sudden, Hamas has to look at everyone in the country that has been displaced, everyone that ever owned a building or drove on the streets, or was involved in helping people eat or deal with the medical issues as in doctors, nurses, because all the hospitals have effectively been wiped out. And here's what Hamas has done. It has taken the entire population of Gaza and made everyone a martyr without their agreement,

without consultations with them. Because when you look at martyrs, these are people who jump into it and they do it with open eyes. So there's a lot of reckoning to be done on both sides, and both sides do not want this war over Israel. I think has a hell of an argument in that this is a government in Gaza that they're and they've admitted this. The most important thing for Hamas is the destruction of Israel. More

important than governance, will, more important than sustaining infrastructure. It's the destruction of Israel. And Israel says, hey, we can't take that. And by the way, look what's happening in Lebanine. They've got the same issue. Israel is not screwing around anymore. You attack Israel, you're going to get it right back. Five times as much, ten times as much. Twelve hundred Israelis were killed in October seventh. Now when you talk about when you compare forty two thousand to twelve hundred,

it seems really off, doesn't it. I mean, that's not proportional, although I don't know anybody who's using the word proportional anymore. It just so happens, though, that those twelve hundred that were massacred was the worst massacre of Israelis of Jews since the Holocaust. So that means a whole lot to the people of Israel. So both sides at this point want the war to continue. Israel has lost in the

hundreds of soldiers and there's been some damage. Gaza has lost its entire population in terms of being displaced, and eighty or seventy five percent of the buildings are gone. Lebanon, Hisbelah has done the same thing. Israel wasn't interested in occupying Lebanon, not since two thousand and six when Israel invaded. Now Israel says, you just leave us alone. Well Hasbolah

said no? So as soon as the fight starts October eighth, when Israel invades Gaza, then you have Hisbela Southern Lebanon decide they're going to launch the missiles in solidarity with the Palestinians. Well, Israel's taken out whole sections of whole sections of Lebanon. Southern Lebanon and now you have how many people displaced. I don't know how many, hundreds of thousands. You know, it's gotten to the point now where it's no longer tit for tat. It is tat tat tat,

tat tat, tat, tat for tit. Does that make sense? You can take that the wrong way, Neil. I know you gave me that weird look, but I think you can take that the wrong way. And even though I would go into that rabbit hole, I didn't on that one. Okay, moving on, Boeing, of course, you know is in huge, huge trouble, and Intel is in sort of the same category. And I'll tell you what's happening with that. And this more than just a couple of companies that have real trouble.

It affects every one of us in America. And I'll explain. And then eight o'clock my conversations with people overseas about the presidential election, and two themes that I heard over and over again, the Yankees and the Dodgers. That's pretty big news. And of course some geopolitical news that I talked about World War three. It doesn't matter. You've got North Korea saying it's going to launch an atomic weapon. And yeah, yah sinowar and what happened in the Middle

East that keeps ongoing, but nothing like the Dodgers. And I don't think I'm far wrong on that one. I really don't. Amy is wearing her Dodger jersey that looks like a Disneyland jersey with a big d. Amy. It's sort of a hybrid. Oh okay, sorry to interrupt you while you're eating I that's okay, Yeah, no, I understand. That's what this show is all about. Breakfast. I'm just trying to be like you, Bill, I know you. We should call it Breakfast in the morning, you know, one

of those breakfast shows. Okay, moving on to what's happening internationally and certainly domestically, And this is where both parties are heavily involved. Harris as well as Trump are basically on the same page on this one, and that is manufacturing has gone to hell in this country. And to give you an idea of Boeing and Intel, two of the biggest manufacturers in the US, are worth about half of what they were in the last five years. Wow. And why is that? Well, because the bean counters have

come in to play here. That's what's happening. Boweing used to be one of the most engineering, not just friendly, but engineering based companies in the world. Profits were secondary to engineering. You have good engineering, face, you have great airplanes, money follows. So well that's not the case. Let's save money no matter what. And look at the crashes. Look what's been happening. Boeing lost eighteen months seven thirty seven Max. The Max eight was just stop production and they're simply

not selling airplanes. Air Bus is going crazy. Intel. Here is a little factoid. Do you know that Intel turned down making the major chip for the iPhone? They said, no, we don't want it, We're not going to make enough money. Well that's brilliant, isn't it. So here's what's happening. We're still at the top of the heap, American American technology. The problem is manufacturing. The top of the heap has

been outsourced. For example, do you know where all the chips are made that are used in the US with the phones other than the iPhone? I think even the iPhone in Taiwan. The biggest chip manufacturer on the planet is in Taiwan. And if China takes over Taiwan, and that's only a question of time. Can you imagine they are going to control the international market for chips, of which nothing we do we cannot do without chips, these

computer chips. I mean, it is getting really rough. I was flying overseas and the first question is I go up to the gate and throw my baggage in? Is I always ask what aircraft are we flying? And when I'm told it's Airbus, huh, I have a relief flying back. I flew on at American Airlines Boeing, and I'm going, Oh, the good news. It was a Boeing that was manufactured fifteen twenty years ago. It was the Triple seven, and those were the days when manufacturing excellence was simply part

of what Boeing was all about. A new Boeing airliner, I've got big problems. Airbus fantastic. And you know who's up and coming in the world world of airlines, in the worlds of the big ones, the jumbos. Right now, it's Airbus and it is Boeing. Those are the two coming up very quickly. Is China. The state owned company Comac now is delivering a competition to the seven thirty seven and the Airbus A three twenty, which is effectively the Airbus's version of the seven thirty seven. So are

we gonna do anything about it? Well, right now it's tariffs and subsidies. Does that work? No? Not really, that's gonna make prices go up. It has to be a different mindset. It has to be get the bean counters out of there. I mean, keep them, but don't run and run the company, especially when you're talking about something like computer chips or airplanes coming up. Talking about airplanes, which of course I had to fly because I went

to Europe. I spent a lot of time talking to people, I mean taxi drivers, people at hotels, sitting in airports, asking folks what they thought of the presidential election coming up. And there were two ongoing themes that they talk about. And it's not Donald Trump being crazy either, the stuff that he says that we're all going, oh my god, they don't care. I'll tell you what they really do care about, and I'll do that segment coming right up. This is KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
