Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know what today is? Is it m M International
Polar Bear Day? Nope, nope, you did not Polar Bears
International dot org. If you want more information on this,
I like polar bears as long.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
As you didn't say it was clean the Grease Trap Day.
If we can keep putting that off, I'd be thrilled.
Clean the grease trap Day, like on your grill or
your stove. Yeah, just if we can just keep putting
that off, I'll be thrilled. Or your or your George
Foreman grill. Yes, weird, and I want to take care
of that. That's that's what the bugs like, those things.
(00:38):
That's how we get ants. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's also and US and No SMEA and No SMEA
Awareness Day right, and knows mia, which is the loss
of a sense of smell. Oh I had that once
with COVID. Yeah, they come back.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It did, all right, that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I don't know if it's full strength though, and no
or the loss of sin of smell can have a
significant impact on a person's quality of life. At our
website in No Smell Awareness dot org, we believe that
we aim to raise awareness about this condition and provide
support to those affected by it. So if that's you,
today is a good day to be aware of it.
(01:16):
Awareness of in no smea. That's a tough life. I
feel like no sense of smell. Like ever, I'm very
my olfactory bulb is very active.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Did you lose it during COVID? Did you ever eat it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Now, yeah, I mean I never tested positive for COVID.
I'm sure I had it at some point, but yeah,
I never lost my sense of smell. I like smells.
Smells are good. I am very activated by smells. I
try to smell as good as possible, as much as possible,
and I am very sensitive when I have something on
me that stinks, like my feet or my shoes or
my armpits or whatever. Or sometimes you just get wet
(01:50):
from the rain. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. So the uh,
we got a lot to talk about. I'm going to
get to Epstein. It's trending. What do you think that's
a good thing, Epstein? Well, it'd be good if we're
getting to the bottom of something. But generally, I feel
like that guy's name in the news, it only kind
of leads to more bad stuff. Well, Pam Bondi has
(02:12):
a binder a lot of people have binders and they're
they're they're holding binders. I think I'm not sure. I
don't know. I don't exactly know what that's for. But
we'll get into that. Gene Hackman, though, this thing is crazy,
all right, So what do we know about this thing? Well,
he was ninety five that we know, he'd been out
of the limelight for a couple solid decades. Yeah, so
(02:34):
this was a guy that had a good career, but
he was kind of a little of a surly guy.
You know. All the behind the scenes conversations that I've
heard was that, you know, he sometimes wasn't great to
work with. One of my favorite movies of all time
is Hoosiers. He is the head, he's the coach, he's
the main character. His name is Norman Dale in that movie.
(02:57):
And in reading about that movie, because I'm I'm so
loved that movie so much, he apparently was like, this
is the end of my career. Like every day on
the set of this movie thought it was just going
to be a terrible fail.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He just hated it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He hated it while he was filming it, and obviously
it turned out to be a really important movie and
did very well. But you know, that's kind of the
attitude of Gene Hackman from what I know it to be.
Another great sports movie that he's in is The Replacements.
You know, it's a what is that like two thousand
or so. That was really towards the end of him
being active in Hollywood. But this guy, he was a
(03:30):
great actor. He really like you could buy into Gene Hackman.
So I knew it was going to be he was
going to pass away at some point. And he had been,
you know, out of the limelight for a long time,
like you mentioned, but ninety five years old. He had
his wife, his wife who's like thirty years younger than
him or so, and you know, I'm not here to
judge any of that stuff, but they were living together
(03:51):
in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was not seen very often.
Like it became news. I think I reported on it
on this show, like just how unsettling it was that
so many people were like there were paparazzos in Santa Fe.
Somehow that got a picture of old ninety five year
old Gene Hackman go into the gas station.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That's enterprising paparazzo right there. No take a trip to
Santa Fe to get a picture of ninety four year
old Gene Hackman.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No, it is a people are scum. That's a scum person.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I know, but that's enterprising scum. Could you at least
put it that way?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, No, I don't even how would you? Is somebody
even just do you think that that was a possibility
that they were just living in Santa Fe for the
hopes of getting some information or pictures of Gene Hackman?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know what? Who was asking for that? Everybody has
their why? What's wrong with that? Why?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No one needs to know or cares no disrespect about
what ninety five year old Gene Hackman was doing at
a gas station in Santa Fe. Come on, come on?
Where to that point where it's news? Is like everybody
had that too. Everybody's like Gene Hackman seen outside of
a gas in Santa Fe, New Mexico, first sighting in years.
It's like, this isn't the lock Nest monster. This is
(05:07):
an old guy just trying to live his life. If
he wanted to be seen, he'd be seen. Betty White
was in the pictures until she was ninety nine. Man,
she was doing stuff on TV for a long time.
She wanted to be seen. She was seen, she was
on talk shows and all that stuff. Jane didn't want
any of that. He wanted to be left alone. We
hadn't seen him in a long time. Let the man
(05:27):
age leave Gene alone. Well now Jane unfortunately has passed away. Now,
when I woke up today and this was the thing
that we had heard, I don't know about you, but
I was I was thinking to myself about like, Okay,
so what's the deal with this. It's weird that they're
both dead, right, And then I heard there was a
dog dead too. What's the first thing you think of
in situation like that. Carbon Monoxide's got to be some
(05:49):
sort of carbon monoxide thing or radon or something that
may have been leaking in the house. She's in her sixties, like,
there was no signs of her having any sort of
health issues that we know of, especially considering the fact
that they were very private people. But as the day
is worn on, there's been more stuff that's coming out
about this. It's pretty unsettling. Now all of a sudden,
they didn't expect foul play. They put that in the news,
(06:11):
the police department. Well now they're saying that it is
kind of suspicious. They found the two bodies in different rooms.
He was found in the mud room, like the kind
of an entry point, and she was found in the bathroom.
And they're doing a full thorough search of investment. I'm
not I really I don't. I don't think that this
(06:32):
is going to be anything noteworthy at the end of it.
For whatever it's worth, I think it's worth talking about
because everybody's talking about it, and for two weeks nobody's
seen or heard of these people. I know they live
private lives, but I feel like I would have somebody
would have been like, I haven't seen gene Or's wife
for a while, haven't heard anything from the from the
Hackman house here lately, And it's weeks before people are like, hey,
(06:53):
maybe we should check on this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It was weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It was multiple weeks since people had heard of them
heard from them. An orange prescription bottle was found near
his wife. It appeared open with pill scattered on the countertop.
Now that sounds like some TV show or movie stuff.
To the bathroom of the left of the front door.
That bathroom was opened and that's where she was. Police
say she showed obvious signs of death. Body decomposition and
(07:18):
bloating in her face and mummification in both hands and feet.
What does that even mean? What does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It means they've been there for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's yeah. And then the dog was found near her
body in the closet of the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Oh, we see the dog preferred. That's rough. You know.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Two open intended, healthy dogs also in the property though.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh where were they? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
The one was running loose, the other was seen in
the bathroom. Really it was in the house, in the house,
still healthy. Do we want to know why? I don't
want to know why. Well, you want to know something else.
Isn't that kind of weird? Yes, especially if we're talking
about a leak.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Wow, Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The warrant for the investigation to do more investigating into
the house says that there was no obvious sign of
a leak, boy, no obvious trauma or visible trauma on
Hackman or his wife. They said they could have been
victims of a double homicide, suicide, accidental death, or natural causes. Well,
that's pretty much the entire gambitsion. They did include that,
(08:19):
I suppose not. The New Mexico Gas Company also is
working with the Sheriff's department and the investigation just in
case there was something involved with something like that. So
they're thinking about it. But very very strange. Ninety five
year old Gene Hackman, his wife, sixty four year old
Betsy Arakawa, and one of their dogs found deceased in
their home and had been there for apparently weeks. So yeah,
(08:45):
I don't know, man, pretty pretty strange stuff. And life
is short. Jeane's life was longer than most.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I'm actually happy to hear people care this much about
somebody who made it very clear that they did not
want to be seen or cared about for years. But
it's it's I'd like to know, don't you? Just can
we get some legitimate answers here? Two people that far
apart in age, Like did she just feel like? Did
he fall? Did he die there? Did she just there
(09:19):
was no obvious signs of traumas, so like, how did
this happen? So he was in one side of the house,
well one room, Yeah, but they weren't into the same room.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
She was in the other. She was in a bathroom.
There was a bottle and.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Pill tipped over, spilled all over that count one dog
in the closet of that bathroom. Deceased in the closet
of the bathroom. Now this could be a closet that's
not closed, right, like not like closing closet, but by
her though in the room that she's in.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
But there's another another dog on the property.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Two dogs on the property. One was running loose and
the other was in the room when they walked in.
In what room the bathroom? Alive alive? What's how's that
dog been staying alive? I don't want to know. How's
what's it been eating?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
How?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I don't know how how long was the dog dead?
Because nobody knew right, nobody was checking on them.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Isn't this crazy?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Like, the more we think about it, the more we
talk through the details, this is a very strange thing.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It feels like a weird episode of Clue.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, it's definitely something that is like the first forty
eight or Dateline or something like that. It's going to
do a full expose And if they weren't famous people,
that's how we'd learn about it. But these being famous people,
we're gonna learn about a real time.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Just id what is that investigative discovery?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Now they are scrambling to nineteen. We'll let you know
if there are any additional details that we learn about
throughout the rest of the afternoon right here on news
Radio eleven ten KFAB and.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Vere's songer on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You always call it a four h two five five
eight eleven ten. Four h two five five eight eleven ten.
We're also talking about today being and knows mea awareness
day where people I guess you're aware now of and
know SMA being the lack or the loss of sense
of smell. Well, Richard's on the phone. I'm four two
five five eight eleven ten. Richard, you got some of
(11:02):
this in nosemeia going on?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, actually from a boma or transplant, I can no
longer taste or smell.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It'll be thirteen years in August. Oh gosh, that's a
that's not great. How do you how do you? How
do you do how do you do it? They're Richard.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well, the funny thing is I still give everything ketchup only,
and I eat chicken.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Tenor and it's just stuck to my terrible diet.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, Richard, I'm glad we've been doing well. It sounds
like it.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Hopefully RFK doesn't take away those chicken tenders from you,
that's my hope. Anyways, appreciate it, Richard, Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, that's funny, that's that's interesting. Yeah, okay, well, I
don't know, man, what I like to I like to
give the gift of smelly things, you know, like to
my wife. I got one of those things that heat
the what the smelly wax, and we put it. You
can put it in your room and it's like makes
the whole room smell good. That's pretty interesting. I don't
(12:03):
think I could of all the sense, sight and then
probably smell would be the ones I'd be least like.
I would like to lose the least. Debra's on the
phone line four oh two, five, five, eight eleven ten. Debra,
you're thinking about this Gene Hackman.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Thing's just about Hi? Hello, all right, this is my
theory about Gene Hackman.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Okay, he said that he fell.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yes, what if she what if she pushed him and
caused to his dad.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And got scared and took those that.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Bottle of pills that she was found with in the.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Bathroom to kill herself because she didn't want to go
to jail.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, I mean, but took the dog with her.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Well, well, considering that the pills are on the floor,
I mean, there's just a chance that the dog ingested
him on his own, to be honest with you, but
but yeah, yeah, it doesn't make sense that only one
of the dogs would would she would take one of
the dog with her. But I mean, you can't rule
it out, Debora. I honestly think like if that's if
he died of the fall and she felt like it
was somehow her responsibility or her fault. I mean, and
(13:10):
especially considering they found prescription pills near her, you have
to keep it like, you have to think that maybe
that has something to do with her demise, I mean,
just naturally. So, I mean there's a good chance of that, Debora.
I guess we'll have to see how they play it out.
But they don't really have any witnesses to ask, so
you know, they'll just have to kind of piece it
together themselves. And especially toxicology, you would think in some
(13:32):
way will come into play with that.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I appreciate the call, Deborah, Thank you, all right, thank you, yep,
have a good day.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So weird, so weird, so it's a it's a five
page affidavit for the warrant, and they have a ton
of different things that they're looking to seize and to investigate. Here,
you like Gene Hackman. You got some Gene Hackman memories.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Not a lot. I know his face, I know his name,
I've seen him in stuff. I don't, you know, there's
nothing that really stands out, so, you know, and to me,
he's he's kind of like a mid level guy and
just I know about him. He's been in stuff. Yeah,
but I'm not a big movie guy, so like I'm
kind of bad to ask, right, Like there's probably movie
people out there saying, like it's Gene Hackman. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, I mean no, I don't think I don't like
as far as I think he's great in a lot
of films, but there's no doubt that he's never like
he's never been like that guy, Like he was never
like lead man Hollywood level, Like just put Gene Hackman
in your movie and you know it'll do well.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
That that's not true.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Gene Hackman was in a lot of stuff where I
think he was good in it. But I also think
that he you know, he wasn't the kind of guy
that was going to carry something to success. You know,
there was a time, I mean probably still right now.
Tom Hanks being involved in your movie in like the
nineties and early two thousands was like gold, Like, oh
Tom Hanks is doing this, here's money, take it. And
(14:57):
there have been people like that. DiCaprio's like that now, right,
It's just like DiCaprio's like, well, if he's in a movie,
it's going to do well. I mean, of course it
is Tom Cruise. Gene Hackman, I don't think was that guy.
But he was also a great actor. There's a way
you can be both, right, and it's a matter of
the roles that you take and the roles that you're
given and you're given the opportunity to do. He was
(15:17):
in Ants, well, his face wasn't in Ants. His voice
was yeah, yeah, his face was like he was in
some westerns too. He was always kind of a better
bad guy than good guy. But when he was a
good guy, you believed it. You believed him. You were like,
I relate to that guy. He had that quality to him.
A relatable bad guy, well not a relatable bad guy,
(15:39):
just a relatable guy. Good or bad. I mean some
of the stuff that he's in that he's the bad guy.
You're just kind of like, oh, okay, well he's devilish.
I wonder how you do that, how you be relatable? Well,
it has a lot to do with the role, you know,
and some people got it, some people don't. You're right,
Charisma in general, I think charisma gets today. Call it
(16:00):
the uh you want to know something else? Timothy chalome
Sure did you watch him at the Sagawarts, the Screen
Actor Guildawarts. He made as many mentions of basketball players
as he did actors and talked about I really want
to be great at this, and he referenced Kobe and Jordan,
like that's a guy I can get behind. So he's
been watching some reels on Instagram, you know, No, like
(16:22):
this guy knows ball like Chalomey knows ball. I'm rooting
for Shalome. Oh, Gene Hackman the Royal Tenant Bombs. That's
where I've seen him. He was the dad in that
There you Go movie. Yeah, okay, there we go. He
Gene Hackman. Uh, we're good. We'll keep you posted if
we learn more information. I'm sure they're going to keep
it pretty hush hush because there's so much attentionion on
it right now. But we'll let you know if we
learn anything this afternoon. Got to get some of this
(16:43):
Epstein news as we move along today, and by news,
it's like what we don't know, we're waiting to hear
what we don't know yet. And also there's plenty of
other stuff that's going on out there, including uh, just
the weirdness in the dichotomy of who is and isn't
welcome at the White House apparently including the Prime Minister
from Britain who's there a day before the President of
(17:05):
Ukraine is supposed to be there. It's like it's like,
who's going to show up at the White House next.
We'll tell you all about all this stuff when we
come back here on News Radio eleventon kfab Emery's sung.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Thank you for your leadership. This has been a very
good and very productive visit. And with your family roots
in Scotland and your close bond with His Majesty the King,
it's good to know that the United Kingdom has a
true end in the Oval Office. And it was so
good to see the bust of Winston Churchill back in
its rightful place just a moment ago, but look in
(17:38):
a moment of real danger around the world, the relationship,
this relationship matters more than ever. We remain each other's
first partner in defense, ready to come to the other's
aid to counter threats wherever and whenever they may arise.
No two militaries are more intertwined than ours. No two
(18:00):
countries have done more together to keep people safe. And
in a few weeks we mark the day the eightieth
anniversary of victory in Europe. Britain and America fought side
by side to make that happen, one of the greatest
moments in our history. We stand side by side still
today and we're focused now on bringing an enduring end
(18:25):
to the barbaric war in Ukraine. Mister President, I welcome
your deep and personal commitment to bring peace and to
stop the killing. You've created a moment of tremendous opportunity
to reach a historic peace deal, a deal that I
think would be celebrated in Ukraine and around the world.
(18:46):
That is the prize, but we have to get it right.
There's a famous slogan in the United Kingdom from after
the Second World War that is that we have to
win the peace. That what we must do now, because
it can't be peace that rewards the aggressor or that
gives encouragement to regimes like we agree, history must be
(19:11):
on the side of the peacemaker, not the invader. So
the stakes they couldn't be higher, and we're determined to
work together to deliver a good deal unfair.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well, the feed is cutting in and out. It's not
a not an US problem. But we'll do the best
that we can to get more information. This is really
interesting stuff. Here's Starmer. He's the leader of he's a
prime minister. You just got a late a prime minister.
He's the leader of the Labor Party. Did you know
that the Labor Party is center left? They are more
(19:51):
left leaning than they are right leaning? Is that not
pretty crazy to hear a guy like this talk like this.
It's pretty awesome to know that people around the world
don't buy into the American political rhetoric from either side
of the aisle. But instead we're talking about our position
in positioning as a country and what strong leadership can do.
(20:12):
Is there a chance that we can get the Yeah,
do we have another avenue to listen? We're going to
work on getting that because I don't trust this screen
that I've got right now. But Keir Starmer continuing to
speak right now, and we'll do the best that we can.
Let's take a listen into where we're at now.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
This isn't just talk, its action. We're balancing the Transatlantic alliance,
making us all stronger and standing up for our shared
values and shared security as Britain always has, mister President,
It's no secret with from different political traditions, but there's
(20:51):
a lot that we have in common. We believe it's
not taking part that counts. What counts is winning. If
you don't win, you don't deliver. And we're determined to
deliver for the working people of Britain and America who
want and deserve to see their lives improve. So we're
(21:12):
both in a hurry to get things done. And that's
what the UK and US do. When we work together,
we win and we get things done. So we'll do
what it takes to keep our people safe. We'll also
work together deliver some big economic wins that can benefit
us both. We have a one point five trillion dollar
(21:34):
invested in each other's economies, creating over two point five
million jobs across both economies. Our trading relationship is not
just strong, it's fair, balanced and reciprocal. We're leaders together
in so many areas, ranked one and two in the
world as investment destinations one and two for universities, one
(21:58):
and two for Nobel Prizes one and two in Gulf
as well, by the way, and we're the only two
Western countries with trillion dollar tech sectors leaders in AI
and Look, we take a similar approach on this issue.
Instead of over regulating these new technologies, we're seizing the
opportunities that they offer. So we've decided today to go further,
(22:23):
to begin work on a new economic deal with advanced
technology at its core. Look, our two nations together shaped
the great technological innovations of the last century. We have
a chance now to do the same for the twenty
first century. I mean, artificial intelligence could cure cancer. That
(22:44):
could be a moonshot for our age. And that's how
we'll keep delivering for our people. There are so many
opportunities keep our nations strong and fulfill the promise of
greatness that has always defined this relationship. Finally, to undermine,
to underline the importance of this bond, it was my
(23:07):
privilege and honor to bring a letter with me today
from His Majesty the King not only sending his best wishes,
but also inviting the President and the First Lady to
make a state visit to the United Kingdom, an unprecedented
second state visit. This has never happened before. It's so incredible,
(23:30):
it will be historic, and I'm delighted that I can
go back to His Majesty the King and tell him
that President Trump has accepted the invitation. So thank you.
Our teams will now work together to set a date
and we look forward to welcome you in the United Kingdom.
Thank you once again. Thank you very much. What a
beautiful accent.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
I would have been president twenty years ago if I
had that access.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Let's go ahead and we'll take a listen because they're
certainly going to answer some questions. We'll we'll do that
when we come back here in just a little bit
on a step aside for now as here, Star sorry,
let me get this right here. Starmer is the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom and is there at the
White House speaking with Donald Trump today and they're talking
(24:18):
to the press. We will hear a few of those
questions when we come back here on news radio eleven
ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Emrie Sunger on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
We heard what Kier Starmer had to say, very complimentary
of this president, even though he represents a party that
is on the political left side of the spectrum in
the United Kingdom. He also was just elected this past year.
So let's take a listen in to what these guys
are talking about right now.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Thank you, your president. Earlier today, you told me that
you believe that foreign countries pay tariffs, but Americans who
are concerned about higher prices, believe, as most people do,
that they're aid by consumers and importers when they import
things into this country.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Can you explain how you came.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
To this belief that foreign governments are paying tariffs? And
for the Prime Minister, did you discuss with President Trump
his repeated statements of desire to annex Canada And has
the King expressed any concern over the president's apparent desire
(25:28):
to remove one of his realms from his control.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
So I'll go ahead the first part. The tariffs are
necessary because we've been treated very unfairly by many many countries,
including our friends, friend Info but we've been treated very
unfairly in trade at levels that nobody's really ever seen before,
and especially under the Biden administration, they really took advantage
of the United States. I put massive tariffs on China
(25:59):
during my four years. We had the best economy in
the history of our country, probably the best economy, maybe
the best economy in the history of the world, and
had I used tariffs to even things up, and in
particular with China, we took in hundreds of billions of
dollars and we had no inflation.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And it's a myth.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
It's a myth that's put out there by foreign countries
that really don't like paying tariffs and especially to even up.
So we've been treated badly by a lot. We're using tariffs,
and I find and you just have to look at
the numbers, but I find that it's not about inflation.
It's about fairness. And the inflation for US has not existed,
(26:41):
and I don't think it's going to exist. We're going
to bring our car industry back, We're going to bring
our chips back, We're going to bring so many things
back to our country, including pharmaceuticals and drugs, and the
thing that's going to get us. There is tariffs, and
I say often it's my favorite word in the dictionary,
but I always preface by saying now, because I got
(27:01):
into a lot of trouble with the fake news where
they say that's not good, So I say, God, love, family, wife,
They're all my favorite words. But tariff is about number
four or five on the list. But I will tell
you it's going to make our country rich and it's
going to stop us from being a laughing stock all
over the world because we have been taken advantage of
(27:24):
like no country has ever been taken in advantage of.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
And look, we had a really good discussion, a productive discussion,
a good discussion, as a result of which our teams
are now going to be working together on an economic deal.
Our team is going to be working together on security
in Ukraine. You mentioned Canada. I think you're trying to
find a divide between us that doesn't exist with the
closest of nations. And we had very good discussions today,
(27:51):
but we didn't enough Canada.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Thank you, please go ahead, go ahead, yes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Hi Natascha Clark for BC, mister President. You've said you're
working on a new trade deal with Britain, which we
of course welcome. President Obama once said Britain was at
the back of the key for that trade deal. Where
are we now, When do you think we'll go? We're
going to see that and Prime Minister. The BBC is
today admitted serious flaws over the recent Gaza coverage suggestions
of payments made to people linked to harmasts. The BBC
(28:22):
still have your trust, thank you.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Well. They didn't do well with President Obama. He'd never
get a lot of things done, and he didn't get
a trade deal done that was of any importance or magnitude.
We've had great discussions on trade and I think we're
going to have a deal done rather quickly, as quickly
as it can be done. We're going to have something,
I think rather quickly. We expect to do that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
On the BBC. Look, I've been concerned about the program
in question. The Sexual Estate had a meeting with the BBC.
I think it was yesterday, could have been the day before.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Thank you, all right, let's go ahead and we'll all
set aside here. I just wanted to hear a little bit.
I will keep an eye on that here, Starmer and
Donald Trump speaking together here, of course is the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom. And uh, it's just interesting
to hear foreign leaders talking about Donald Trump. About this now,
I did get an email and I wanted to read
from AJ and said, the Conservatives hate him. He's part
(29:17):
of the problem in Britain. He's just sucking up to
Trump because he knows Trump can ruin him fast. The
immigration problem that they're suffering in the United Kingdom is
because of his party. That's not an unreasonable thing, though, right,
you get That's why I'm interested in the Zelensky visit tomorrow.
All that smack talk that you may have said, or
(29:38):
you may believe away from each other, you're a lot
less likely to say when you're face to face with somebody, Right, Like,
if I talked a bunch of smack about you, I
certainly wouldn't do it to your face.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Matt, Oh you wouldn't, would you know? Can't you tell
me what you've been saying?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Well, I haven't been saying anything that you need to
know about.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Oh, okay, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, Well, I mean, but that's the thing, right, It's
just like, uh, if you're a good trash talker, it's
a lot easier to talk garbage on social media or
from an Atlantic ocean away. Now, not that he was
talking garbage about Donald Trump, but he just practices very
different things. And you hear him talk about Donald Trump here,
you think he's a far right wing guy, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Maybe he's got a left wing and a right wing
that helped you fly in the sky, wouldn't it. Don't
you need both? It would? It would.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
A left wing and a right wing usually means that
you're flying too much on either side and you're not
going to really have anybody that likes you at that point.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
So I would think if you only had one, you'd
end up just flying in a circle.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have to be able to elevate and get into
the sky first of all, you know what I mean. Anyway,
we got more coming up. Stick around, We're having fun
on the news radio eleven to ten kfab
You know what today is? Is it m M International
Polar Bear Day? Nope, nope, you did not Polar Bears
International dot org. If you want more information on this,
I like polar bears as long.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
As you didn't say it was clean the Grease Trap Day.
If we can keep putting that off, I'd be thrilled.
Clean the grease trap Day, like on your grill or
your stove. Yeah, just if we can just keep putting
that off, I'll be thrilled. Or your or your George
Foreman grill. Yes, weird, and I want to take care
of that. That's that's what the bugs like, those things.
(00:38):
That's how we get ants. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's also and US and No SMEA and No SMEA
Awareness Day right, and knows mia, which is the loss
of a sense of smell. Oh I had that once
with COVID. Yeah, they come back.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
It did, all right, that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I don't know if it's full strength though, and no
or the loss of sin of smell can have a
significant impact on a person's quality of life. At our
website in No Smell Awareness dot org, we believe that
we aim to raise awareness about this condition and provide
support to those affected by it. So if that's you,
today is a good day to be aware of it.
(01:16):
Awareness of in no smea. That's a tough life. I
feel like no sense of smell. Like ever, I'm very
my olfactory bulb is very active.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Did you lose it during COVID? Did you ever eat it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Now, yeah, I mean I never tested positive for COVID.
I'm sure I had it at some point, but yeah,
I never lost my sense of smell. I like smells.
Smells are good. I am very activated by smells. I
try to smell as good as possible, as much as possible,
and I am very sensitive when I have something on
me that stinks, like my feet or my shoes or
my armpits or whatever. Or sometimes you just get wet
(01:50):
from the rain. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. So the uh,
we got a lot to talk about. I'm going to
get to Epstein. It's trending. What do you think that's
a good thing, Epstein? Well, it'd be good if we're
getting to the bottom of something. But generally, I feel
like that guy's name in the news, it only kind
of leads to more bad stuff. Well, Pam Bondi has
(02:12):
a binder a lot of people have binders and they're
they're they're holding binders. I think I'm not sure. I
don't know. I don't exactly know what that's for. But
we'll get into that. Gene Hackman, though, this thing is crazy,
all right, So what do we know about this thing? Well,
he was ninety five that we know, he'd been out
of the limelight for a couple solid decades. Yeah, so
(02:34):
this was a guy that had a good career, but
he was kind of a little of a surly guy.
You know. All the behind the scenes conversations that I've
heard was that, you know, he sometimes wasn't great to
work with. One of my favorite movies of all time
is Hoosiers. He is the head, he's the coach, he's
the main character. His name is Norman Dale in that movie.
(02:57):
And in reading about that movie, because I'm I'm so
loved that movie so much, he apparently was like, this
is the end of my career. Like every day on
the set of this movie thought it was just going
to be a terrible fail.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He just hated it.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He hated it while he was filming it, and obviously
it turned out to be a really important movie and
did very well. But you know, that's kind of the
attitude of Gene Hackman from what I know it to be.
Another great sports movie that he's in is The Replacements.
You know, it's a what is that like two thousand
or so. That was really towards the end of him
being active in Hollywood. But this guy, he was a
(03:30):
great actor. He really like you could buy into Gene Hackman.
So I knew it was going to be he was
going to pass away at some point. And he had been,
you know, out of the limelight for a long time,
like you mentioned, but ninety five years old. He had
his wife, his wife who's like thirty years younger than
him or so, and you know, I'm not here to
judge any of that stuff, but they were living together
(03:51):
in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was not seen very often.
Like it became news. I think I reported on it
on this show, like just how unsettling it was that
so many people were like there were paparazzos in Santa Fe.
Somehow that got a picture of old ninety five year
old Gene Hackman go into the gas station.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That's enterprising paparazzo right there. No take a trip to
Santa Fe to get a picture of ninety four year
old Gene Hackman.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
No, it is a people are scum. That's a scum person.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I know, but that's enterprising scum. Could you at least
put it that way?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, No, I don't even how would you? Is somebody
even just do you think that that was a possibility
that they were just living in Santa Fe for the
hopes of getting some information or pictures of Gene Hackman?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know what? Who was asking for that? Everybody has
their why? What's wrong with that? Why?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
No one needs to know or cares no disrespect about
what ninety five year old Gene Hackman was doing at
a gas station in Santa Fe. Come on, come on?
Where to that point where it's news? Is like everybody
had that too. Everybody's like Gene Hackman seen outside of
a gas in Santa Fe, New Mexico, first sighting in years.
It's like, this isn't the lock Nest monster. This is
(05:07):
an old guy just trying to live his life. If
he wanted to be seen, he'd be seen. Betty White
was in the pictures until she was ninety nine. Man,
she was doing stuff on TV for a long time.
She wanted to be seen. She was seen, she was
on talk shows and all that stuff. Jane didn't want
any of that. He wanted to be left alone. We
hadn't seen him in a long time. Let the man
(05:27):
age leave Gene alone. Well now Jane unfortunately has passed away. Now,
when I woke up today and this was the thing
that we had heard, I don't know about you, but
I was I was thinking to myself about like, Okay,
so what's the deal with this. It's weird that they're
both dead, right, And then I heard there was a
dog dead too. What's the first thing you think of
in situation like that. Carbon Monoxide's got to be some
(05:49):
sort of carbon monoxide thing or radon or something that
may have been leaking in the house. She's in her sixties, like,
there was no signs of her having any sort of
health issues that we know of, especially considering the fact
that they were very private people. But as the day
is worn on, there's been more stuff that's coming out
about this. It's pretty unsettling. Now all of a sudden,
they didn't expect foul play. They put that in the news,
(06:11):
the police department. Well now they're saying that it is
kind of suspicious. They found the two bodies in different rooms.
He was found in the mud room, like the kind
of an entry point, and she was found in the bathroom.
And they're doing a full thorough search of investment. I'm
not I really I don't. I don't think that this
(06:32):
is going to be anything noteworthy at the end of it.
For whatever it's worth, I think it's worth talking about
because everybody's talking about it, and for two weeks nobody's
seen or heard of these people. I know they live
private lives, but I feel like I would have somebody
would have been like, I haven't seen gene Or's wife
for a while, haven't heard anything from the from the
Hackman house here lately, And it's weeks before people are like, hey,
(06:53):
maybe we should check on this guy.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
It was weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
It was multiple weeks since people had heard of them
heard from them. An orange prescription bottle was found near
his wife. It appeared open with pill scattered on the countertop.
Now that sounds like some TV show or movie stuff.
To the bathroom of the left of the front door.
That bathroom was opened and that's where she was. Police
say she showed obvious signs of death. Body decomposition and
(07:18):
bloating in her face and mummification in both hands and feet.
What does that even mean? What does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It means they've been there for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
It's yeah. And then the dog was found near her
body in the closet of the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Oh, we see the dog preferred. That's rough. You know.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Two open intended, healthy dogs also in the property though.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh where were they? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
The one was running loose, the other was seen in
the bathroom. Really it was in the house, in the house,
still healthy. Do we want to know why? I don't
want to know why. Well, you want to know something else.
Isn't that kind of weird? Yes, especially if we're talking
about a leak.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Wow, Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The warrant for the investigation to do more investigating into
the house says that there was no obvious sign of
a leak, boy, no obvious trauma or visible trauma on
Hackman or his wife. They said they could have been
victims of a double homicide, suicide, accidental death, or natural causes. Well,
that's pretty much the entire gambitsion. They did include that,
(08:19):
I suppose not. The New Mexico Gas Company also is
working with the Sheriff's department and the investigation just in
case there was something involved with something like that. So
they're thinking about it. But very very strange. Ninety five
year old Gene Hackman, his wife, sixty four year old
Betsy Arakawa, and one of their dogs found deceased in
their home and had been there for apparently weeks. So yeah,
(08:45):
I don't know, man, pretty pretty strange stuff. And life
is short. Jeane's life was longer than most.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I'm actually happy to hear people care this much about
somebody who made it very clear that they did not
want to be seen or cared about for years. But
it's it's I'd like to know, don't you? Just can
we get some legitimate answers here? Two people that far
apart in age, Like did she just feel like? Did
he fall? Did he die there? Did she just there
(09:19):
was no obvious signs of traumas, so like, how did
this happen? So he was in one side of the house,
well one room, Yeah, but they weren't into the same room.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
She was in the other. She was in a bathroom.
There was a bottle and.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Pill tipped over, spilled all over that count one dog
in the closet of that bathroom. Deceased in the closet
of the bathroom. Now this could be a closet that's
not closed, right, like not like closing closet, but by
her though in the room that she's in.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
But there's another another dog on the property.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Two dogs on the property. One was running loose and
the other was in the room when they walked in.
In what room the bathroom? Alive alive? What's how's that
dog been staying alive? I don't want to know. How's
what's it been eating?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
How?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I don't know how how long was the dog dead?
Because nobody knew right, nobody was checking on them.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Isn't this crazy?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Like, the more we think about it, the more we
talk through the details, this is a very strange thing.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It feels like a weird episode of Clue.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, it's definitely something that is like the first forty
eight or Dateline or something like that. It's going to
do a full expose And if they weren't famous people,
that's how we'd learn about it. But these being famous people,
we're gonna learn about a real time.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Just id what is that investigative discovery?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Now they are scrambling to nineteen. We'll let you know
if there are any additional details that we learn about
throughout the rest of the afternoon right here on news
Radio eleven ten KFAB and.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Vere's songer on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
You always call it a four h two five five
eight eleven ten. Four h two five five eight eleven ten.
We're also talking about today being and knows mea awareness
day where people I guess you're aware now of and
know SMA being the lack or the loss of sense
of smell. Well, Richard's on the phone. I'm four two
five five eight eleven ten. Richard, you got some of
(11:02):
this in nosemeia going on?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, actually from a boma or transplant, I can no
longer taste or smell.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
It'll be thirteen years in August. Oh gosh, that's a
that's not great. How do you how do you? How
do you do how do you do it? They're Richard.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Well, the funny thing is I still give everything ketchup only,
and I eat chicken.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Tenor and it's just stuck to my terrible diet.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, Richard, I'm glad we've been doing well. It sounds
like it.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Hopefully RFK doesn't take away those chicken tenders from you,
that's my hope. Anyways, appreciate it, Richard, Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, that's funny, that's that's interesting. Yeah, okay, well, I
don't know, man, what I like to I like to
give the gift of smelly things, you know, like to
my wife. I got one of those things that heat
the what the smelly wax, and we put it. You
can put it in your room and it's like makes
the whole room smell good. That's pretty interesting. I don't
(12:03):
think I could of all the sense, sight and then
probably smell would be the ones I'd be least like.
I would like to lose the least. Debra's on the
phone line four oh two, five, five, eight eleven ten. Debra,
you're thinking about this Gene Hackman.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Thing's just about Hi? Hello, all right, this is my
theory about Gene Hackman.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Okay, he said that he fell.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yes, what if she what if she pushed him and
caused to his dad.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And got scared and took those that.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Bottle of pills that she was found with in the.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Bathroom to kill herself because she didn't want to go
to jail.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, I mean, but took the dog with her.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Well, well, considering that the pills are on the floor,
I mean, there's just a chance that the dog ingested
him on his own, to be honest with you, but
but yeah, yeah, it doesn't make sense that only one
of the dogs would would she would take one of
the dog with her. But I mean, you can't rule
it out, Debora. I honestly think like if that's if
he died of the fall and she felt like it
was somehow her responsibility or her fault. I mean, and
(13:10):
especially considering they found prescription pills near her, you have
to keep it like, you have to think that maybe
that has something to do with her demise, I mean,
just naturally. So, I mean there's a good chance of that, Debora.
I guess we'll have to see how they play it out.
But they don't really have any witnesses to ask, so
you know, they'll just have to kind of piece it
together themselves. And especially toxicology, you would think in some
(13:32):
way will come into play with that.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I appreciate the call, Deborah, Thank you, all right, thank you, yep,
have a good day.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So weird, so weird, so it's a it's a five
page affidavit for the warrant, and they have a ton
of different things that they're looking to seize and to investigate. Here,
you like Gene Hackman. You got some Gene Hackman memories.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Not a lot. I know his face, I know his name,
I've seen him in stuff. I don't, you know, there's
nothing that really stands out, so, you know, and to me,
he's he's kind of like a mid level guy and
just I know about him. He's been in stuff. Yeah,
but I'm not a big movie guy, so like I'm
kind of bad to ask, right, Like there's probably movie
people out there saying, like it's Gene Hackman. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, I mean no, I don't think I don't like
as far as I think he's great in a lot
of films, but there's no doubt that he's never like
he's never been like that guy, Like he was never
like lead man Hollywood level, Like just put Gene Hackman
in your movie and you know it'll do well.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
That that's not true.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Gene Hackman was in a lot of stuff where I
think he was good in it. But I also think
that he you know, he wasn't the kind of guy
that was going to carry something to success. You know,
there was a time, I mean probably still right now.
Tom Hanks being involved in your movie in like the
nineties and early two thousands was like gold, Like, oh
Tom Hanks is doing this, here's money, take it. And
(14:57):
there have been people like that. DiCaprio's like that now, right,
It's just like DiCaprio's like, well, if he's in a movie,
it's going to do well. I mean, of course it
is Tom Cruise. Gene Hackman, I don't think was that guy.
But he was also a great actor. There's a way
you can be both, right, and it's a matter of
the roles that you take and the roles that you're
given and you're given the opportunity to do. He was
(15:17):
in Ants, well, his face wasn't in Ants. His voice
was yeah, yeah, his face was like he was in
some westerns too. He was always kind of a better
bad guy than good guy. But when he was a
good guy, you believed it. You believed him. You were like,
I relate to that guy. He had that quality to him.
A relatable bad guy, well not a relatable bad guy,
(15:39):
just a relatable guy. Good or bad. I mean some
of the stuff that he's in that he's the bad guy.
You're just kind of like, oh, okay, well he's devilish.
I wonder how you do that, how you be relatable? Well,
it has a lot to do with the role, you know,
and some people got it, some people don't. You're right,
Charisma in general, I think charisma gets today. Call it
(16:00):
the uh you want to know something else? Timothy chalome
Sure did you watch him at the Sagawarts, the Screen
Actor Guildawarts. He made as many mentions of basketball players
as he did actors and talked about I really want
to be great at this, and he referenced Kobe and Jordan,
like that's a guy I can get behind. So he's
been watching some reels on Instagram, you know, No, like
(16:22):
this guy knows ball like Chalomey knows ball. I'm rooting
for Shalome. Oh, Gene Hackman the Royal Tenant Bombs. That's
where I've seen him. He was the dad in that
There you Go movie. Yeah, okay, there we go. He
Gene Hackman. Uh, we're good. We'll keep you posted if
we learn more information. I'm sure they're going to keep
it pretty hush hush because there's so much attentionion on
it right now. But we'll let you know if we
learn anything this afternoon. Got to get some of this
(16:43):
Epstein news as we move along today, and by news,
it's like what we don't know, we're waiting to hear
what we don't know yet. And also there's plenty of
other stuff that's going on out there, including uh, just
the weirdness in the dichotomy of who is and isn't
welcome at the White House apparently including the Prime Minister
from Britain who's there a day before the President of
(17:05):
Ukraine is supposed to be there. It's like it's like,
who's going to show up at the White House next.
We'll tell you all about all this stuff when we
come back here on News Radio eleventon kfab Emery's sung.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Thank you for your leadership. This has been a very
good and very productive visit. And with your family roots
in Scotland and your close bond with His Majesty the King,
it's good to know that the United Kingdom has a
true end in the Oval Office. And it was so
good to see the bust of Winston Churchill back in
its rightful place just a moment ago, but look in
(17:38):
a moment of real danger around the world, the relationship,
this relationship matters more than ever. We remain each other's
first partner in defense, ready to come to the other's
aid to counter threats wherever and whenever they may arise.
No two militaries are more intertwined than ours. No two
(18:00):
countries have done more together to keep people safe. And
in a few weeks we mark the day the eightieth
anniversary of victory in Europe. Britain and America fought side
by side to make that happen, one of the greatest
moments in our history. We stand side by side still
today and we're focused now on bringing an enduring end
(18:25):
to the barbaric war in Ukraine. Mister President, I welcome
your deep and personal commitment to bring peace and to
stop the killing. You've created a moment of tremendous opportunity
to reach a historic peace deal, a deal that I
think would be celebrated in Ukraine and around the world.
(18:46):
That is the prize, but we have to get it right.
There's a famous slogan in the United Kingdom from after
the Second World War that is that we have to
win the peace. That what we must do now, because
it can't be peace that rewards the aggressor or that
gives encouragement to regimes like we agree, history must be
(19:11):
on the side of the peacemaker, not the invader. So
the stakes they couldn't be higher, and we're determined to
work together to deliver a good deal unfair.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Well, the feed is cutting in and out. It's not
a not an US problem. But we'll do the best
that we can to get more information. This is really
interesting stuff. Here's Starmer. He's the leader of he's a
prime minister. You just got a late a prime minister.
He's the leader of the Labor Party. Did you know
that the Labor Party is center left? They are more
(19:51):
left leaning than they are right leaning? Is that not
pretty crazy to hear a guy like this talk like this.
It's pretty awesome to know that people around the world
don't buy into the American political rhetoric from either side
of the aisle. But instead we're talking about our position
in positioning as a country and what strong leadership can do.
(20:12):
Is there a chance that we can get the Yeah,
do we have another avenue to listen? We're going to
work on getting that because I don't trust this screen
that I've got right now. But Keir Starmer continuing to
speak right now, and we'll do the best that we can.
Let's take a listen into where we're at now.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
This isn't just talk, its action. We're balancing the Transatlantic alliance,
making us all stronger and standing up for our shared
values and shared security as Britain always has, mister President,
It's no secret with from different political traditions, but there's
(20:51):
a lot that we have in common. We believe it's
not taking part that counts. What counts is winning. If
you don't win, you don't deliver. And we're determined to
deliver for the working people of Britain and America who
want and deserve to see their lives improve. So we're
(21:12):
both in a hurry to get things done. And that's
what the UK and US do. When we work together,
we win and we get things done. So we'll do
what it takes to keep our people safe. We'll also
work together deliver some big economic wins that can benefit
us both. We have a one point five trillion dollar
(21:34):
invested in each other's economies, creating over two point five
million jobs across both economies. Our trading relationship is not
just strong, it's fair, balanced and reciprocal. We're leaders together
in so many areas, ranked one and two in the
world as investment destinations one and two for universities, one
(21:58):
and two for Nobel Prizes one and two in Gulf
as well, by the way, and we're the only two
Western countries with trillion dollar tech sectors leaders in AI
and Look, we take a similar approach on this issue.
Instead of over regulating these new technologies, we're seizing the
opportunities that they offer. So we've decided today to go further,
(22:23):
to begin work on a new economic deal with advanced
technology at its core. Look, our two nations together shaped
the great technological innovations of the last century. We have
a chance now to do the same for the twenty
first century. I mean, artificial intelligence could cure cancer. That
(22:44):
could be a moonshot for our age. And that's how
we'll keep delivering for our people. There are so many
opportunities keep our nations strong and fulfill the promise of
greatness that has always defined this relationship. Finally, to undermine,
to underline the importance of this bond, it was my
(23:07):
privilege and honor to bring a letter with me today
from His Majesty the King not only sending his best wishes,
but also inviting the President and the First Lady to
make a state visit to the United Kingdom, an unprecedented
second state visit. This has never happened before. It's so incredible,
(23:30):
it will be historic, and I'm delighted that I can
go back to His Majesty the King and tell him
that President Trump has accepted the invitation. So thank you.
Our teams will now work together to set a date
and we look forward to welcome you in the United Kingdom.
Thank you once again. Thank you very much. What a
beautiful accent.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
I would have been president twenty years ago if I
had that access.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Let's go ahead and we'll take a listen because they're
certainly going to answer some questions. We'll we'll do that
when we come back here in just a little bit
on a step aside for now as here, Star sorry,
let me get this right here. Starmer is the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom and is there at the
White House speaking with Donald Trump today and they're talking
(24:18):
to the press. We will hear a few of those
questions when we come back here on news radio eleven
ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Emrie Sunger on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
We heard what Kier Starmer had to say, very complimentary
of this president, even though he represents a party that
is on the political left side of the spectrum in
the United Kingdom. He also was just elected this past year.
So let's take a listen in to what these guys
are talking about right now.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Thank you, your president. Earlier today, you told me that
you believe that foreign countries pay tariffs, but Americans who
are concerned about higher prices, believe, as most people do,
that they're aid by consumers and importers when they import
things into this country.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Can you explain how you came.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
To this belief that foreign governments are paying tariffs? And
for the Prime Minister, did you discuss with President Trump
his repeated statements of desire to annex Canada And has
the King expressed any concern over the president's apparent desire
(25:28):
to remove one of his realms from his control.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
So I'll go ahead the first part. The tariffs are
necessary because we've been treated very unfairly by many many countries,
including our friends, friend Info but we've been treated very
unfairly in trade at levels that nobody's really ever seen before,
and especially under the Biden administration, they really took advantage
of the United States. I put massive tariffs on China
(25:59):
during my four years. We had the best economy in
the history of our country, probably the best economy, maybe
the best economy in the history of the world, and
had I used tariffs to even things up, and in
particular with China, we took in hundreds of billions of
dollars and we had no inflation.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
And it's a myth.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
It's a myth that's put out there by foreign countries
that really don't like paying tariffs and especially to even up.
So we've been treated badly by a lot. We're using tariffs,
and I find and you just have to look at
the numbers, but I find that it's not about inflation.
It's about fairness. And the inflation for US has not existed,
(26:41):
and I don't think it's going to exist. We're going
to bring our car industry back, We're going to bring
our chips back, We're going to bring so many things
back to our country, including pharmaceuticals and drugs, and the
thing that's going to get us. There is tariffs, and
I say often it's my favorite word in the dictionary,
but I always preface by saying now, because I got
(27:01):
into a lot of trouble with the fake news where
they say that's not good, So I say, God, love, family, wife,
They're all my favorite words. But tariff is about number
four or five on the list. But I will tell
you it's going to make our country rich and it's
going to stop us from being a laughing stock all
over the world because we have been taken advantage of
(27:24):
like no country has ever been taken in advantage of.
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
And look, we had a really good discussion, a productive discussion,
a good discussion, as a result of which our teams
are now going to be working together on an economic deal.
Our team is going to be working together on security
in Ukraine. You mentioned Canada. I think you're trying to
find a divide between us that doesn't exist with the
closest of nations. And we had very good discussions today,
(27:51):
but we didn't enough Canada.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Thank you, please go ahead, go ahead, yes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Hi Natascha Clark for BC, mister President. You've said you're
working on a new trade deal with Britain, which we
of course welcome. President Obama once said Britain was at
the back of the key for that trade deal. Where
are we now, When do you think we'll go? We're
going to see that and Prime Minister. The BBC is
today admitted serious flaws over the recent Gaza coverage suggestions
of payments made to people linked to harmasts. The BBC
(28:22):
still have your trust, thank you.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Well. They didn't do well with President Obama. He'd never
get a lot of things done, and he didn't get
a trade deal done that was of any importance or magnitude.
We've had great discussions on trade and I think we're
going to have a deal done rather quickly, as quickly
as it can be done. We're going to have something,
I think rather quickly. We expect to do that. Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
On the BBC. Look, I've been concerned about the program
in question. The Sexual Estate had a meeting with the BBC.
I think it was yesterday, could have been the day before.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Thank you, all right, let's go ahead and we'll all
set aside here. I just wanted to hear a little bit.
I will keep an eye on that here, Starmer and
Donald Trump speaking together here, of course is the Prime
Minister of the United Kingdom. And uh, it's just interesting
to hear foreign leaders talking about Donald Trump. About this now,
I did get an email and I wanted to read
from AJ and said, the Conservatives hate him. He's part
(29:17):
of the problem in Britain. He's just sucking up to
Trump because he knows Trump can ruin him fast. The
immigration problem that they're suffering in the United Kingdom is
because of his party. That's not an unreasonable thing, though, right,
you get That's why I'm interested in the Zelensky visit tomorrow.
All that smack talk that you may have said, or
(29:38):
you may believe away from each other, you're a lot
less likely to say when you're face to face with somebody, Right, Like,
if I talked a bunch of smack about you, I
certainly wouldn't do it to your face.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Matt, Oh you wouldn't, would you know? Can't you tell
me what you've been saying?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Well, I haven't been saying anything that you need to
know about.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Oh, okay, sounds good.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, Well, I mean, but that's the thing, right, It's
just like, uh, if you're a good trash talker, it's
a lot easier to talk garbage on social media or
from an Atlantic ocean away. Now, not that he was
talking garbage about Donald Trump, but he just practices very
different things. And you hear him talk about Donald Trump here,
you think he's a far right wing guy, but he's not.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Maybe he's got a left wing and a right wing
that helped you fly in the sky, wouldn't it. Don't
you need both? It would? It would.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
A left wing and a right wing usually means that
you're flying too much on either side and you're not
going to really have anybody that likes you at that point.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
So I would think if you only had one, you'd
end up just flying in a circle.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have to be able to elevate and get into
the sky first of all, you know what I mean. Anyway,
we got more coming up. Stick around, We're having fun
on the news radio eleven to ten kfab
