Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're list Saints KFI AM six forty. The Bill handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio f HI.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
There it's KFI AM six forty. Pleasure being with you.
Usually a footy.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Friday, but Neil bailed on us. By the way, he
is in all next week and he'll be coming for Bill.
I'm gonna take a little vacation myself and I wish
Neil the best and wish you were here to talk
food because there are a few things I love more.
But alas, instead we end up talking Greenland. So you
know that Usha Vance, that is the second Lady, was
(00:36):
planning on going to Greenland.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's been the plan.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
But we're so excited about Greenland that now jd Vance,
the Vice President, is also going to Greenland, and he's
taking with him the can I say, embattled National Security
Advisor Mike Waltz, They're off to Greenland. I suppose to visit.
It's a one day tour. Now, it was supposed to
be a little bit broader, and the initial was supposed
(01:00):
to meet to the Capitol. It was also supposed to
take in a dog sled race. Because when you're in Greenland,
do you do as the Greenlanders do, and you watch
the dog sledding that also is off. Instead they are
visiting the military base that's there, and I guess serving
the no. NBC News was talking about it.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
On the eve of an unwelcome scaled back US visit
to Greenland. The competition over the Arctic is heating up.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh, why are we so fixated on Greenland?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
As Vice President JD.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Walt,
and Energy Secretary Chris Wright prepared to fly to the
remote northwest BD Folks Space Base to meet with US
military personnel.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Skip, Wait a minute, what's the name of the base.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
To meet with US military personnel.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'll go back further.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Prepared to fly to the remote northwest b D Folks
Space Base.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
BD Folks Space You can't say, no, you can't say
that b.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
D Folks Space Base.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Hold onds, no, you can't say it. Here I got
to you were not allowed to say that on the radio.
Color you're gonna want to dump that because you can't
say that word on the radio.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'll correct it so that we get it right.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Okay, it's the space base in Greenland is in the
town of what is it?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Against space base.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's better, Okay, you can't say the F word to.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Meet with US military personnel skipping out on the originally
planned cultural tour stops in Greenlandic cities, Russian President Pluton
cautions the US is serious.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Everybody knows very well.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
He said today about the US plans to take over Greenland,
and yesterday President Trump doubled down.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
We need Greenland and the world needs us to have Greenland,
including Denmark.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Denmark has to have us have Greenland.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Why why do we Why does Denmark need us to
have Greenland? The argument is going to be a national
security that we are the world police, and that means
we have to have the best police stations, and the
best police stations come in Greenland because it's in the
Arctic Circle, and right now, our presence in the Arctic Circle,
which of course is the hop, skip and jump to
(03:14):
the rest of Northern Europe northern Asia, that gives us
an advantage. So the more Arctic Circle we can have,
the better it's going to be, and that means the
safer it's going to be for Denmark.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That's going to be the argument. But what else is there?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Why the fixation on the largest least populated island in
the world.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
A territory of Denmark.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Greenland is eighty percent ice. And as the ice melts,
as you can see right here, due to global warming.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
That's where Trump' sees opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
No, no, no, it's national security.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Denmark needs us to have them for international security. As
you know, President Trump has always been very big on
more involvement.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
In foreign No he's not. He's going to get us
out of foreign wars.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Well, then why does it benefit Denmark to have us
I don't understand we're doing less. I thought we were
less interventionalists. Under I'm so confused right now. So what
could be the motivation?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Then?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Underneath all this ize lies the prospect of an estimated
one point five million tons of rare earth elements, as
well as oil and natural gas reserves.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Oh, I see, we're doing the Gulf war thing.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
There it is.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
See. I thought we learned a lesson in a rock
one and then the sequel I thought that we were Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I got you.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
This is like, hey, we went to war in Rock
and we said it's because of the mistreatment. And then
we went to war in the Rock again. We said, well,
it is the weapons of mass destruction, and then there
weren't any but it was okay because we got access
to the oils. And so now we just say, well, Greenland,
they've got those earth metals that we need for Elon's batteries,
(05:03):
and they also have oil, but it's under all of
this ice, so we're gonna need to melt that ice first.
Everyone grab a can of hairspray and head outside. We're
gonna have to global warm up Greenland fast so we
can get to these rare earth metals quickly.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Strategic Arctic shipping lanes also opening up, and Russia and
China together already working on the key Northern Sea rout
Here in the Capitol of Nuke, Andrews Larsen says, they
like America here, but not enough to want to be American.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Do you feel tech stepped and feel like it can
be difficult to depend on America. This is kind of
like I like my in laws, but not enough to
want to live with them. You know, I got very fortunate.
My mother in law is great. She is hilarious. She
doesn't mean to be, but she's a blast. However, anytime
(05:55):
she actually stays with us, pretty sure there's gonna be
a dead body buried in the backyard. Just not positive
if it's going to be hers or if she's gonna
get to me first. But one way or another, the
living together situation doesn't work. In other words, Greenland is
saying the United States, you guys are fun to hang
out with, but we don't want to live with you
in the future.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
But it's all about collaboration, says Greenland again. P koopernuk Olson.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
We need to learn to dance with the US.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah, we need to figure out how to fantanas together.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yes, dance together, Molly Hunter, NBC News Nuke Greenland.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Nuke, All right, fantastic. So what will happen here? Nothing,
We're not going to get Greenland. This emphasis for Greenland
is an obsession that the president had during his first administration,
and when he broke that, we all thought, where's he
out of his mind?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And then we.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Thought, let's reelect the guy that we questioned whether or
not he's out of his mind. We do, and then
come to find out he's serious about going to Greenland,
which lead you to question if there are other things
he's serious about from the first administration, like replacing the
National Weather Service with a Sharpie. Based on the doage cuts,
(07:12):
looks like he was SKFIM six forty more stimulating talk.
Chris merrill in for Bill Handle Today listened anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app and on the socials at
Bill Handle Show at Bill Handles Show. So the plan
here we talk about Mayor Bass and it's all about
that Bass and her text messages. If you'll recall, the
(07:32):
fire started to break out and Mayor Bass was she
was on a delegation to Ghana, which is problematic, and
then people said, Mayor Bass, why would you go to
Ghana when we have these high winds? And Mayor Bass said,
nobody told me it was gonna be windy because her
(07:54):
weather channel was broken, I guess, And so she went
to Africa basically roll in the dice and thinking, well,
maybe there won't be any fires or anything else that
I'll need to be in Los Angeles for. I'll just
go to Africa and then if anything breaks out, they
can just reach me. And then once they reach me,
my phone will just auto delete any text messages that
I get that could be potentially incriminating. Oops, Nope, you
(08:20):
gotta keep those texts. Everybody knows and when it comes
to government correspondence. You gotta keep those texts unless it's
on the signal app.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Then I mean, what can you do? Sorry, they're gone,
Sorry America. Sorry, so Mayor.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Bass said, her phone auto deleted her texts and they're
probably gone forever.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But lo and behold, geeks stepped in.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
It's eleven forty eight am on January the seventh, and
here at home that Palisades fire is spreading fast in
Ghana where the mayor is. It's six forty eight pm
and this text pops up on her phone from her
deputy chief of Staffen Cordero. You up on phone with
Chie Crawley. Now two significant fires in the city. Now
(09:07):
she will call you, Mayor Hollywood Pacific Palisades. Potential evacuations,
significant resources, forty mile wins, one hundred acres affected in
next twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That was the text message.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
That feels like if you're the mayor of that town,
you would be mildly concerned.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
At eleven twenty three pm, gun a time, Mayor Bass
appears to be on a video call with staff as
she texts, I am listening.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Don't know why you can't hear me?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Court, She boomered, the video call.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Is this thing on? Why can't you hear me? Hello?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Hello? Yeah, you have to unmute at Mayor Bass, you
have to unmute that. You're gonna have to You're gonna
have to press. We can't hear you. Why can't you
hear me?
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Ordero responds, Oh, no, okay, no, we can't hear you.
Hours later, California's Senator Adam shiff texted the mayor, the
fires are just awful. Please let me know whatever I
can do to help.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Can you just cover it. I'm in Ghana and I
can't get this zoom to work.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Hello.
Speaker 9 (10:18):
The mayor texted back, thanks so much. I'm actually in
the air headed home from Ghana. I know disaster aid
will be needed. I land in the am and would
like to be in touch by late afternoon after I've
had a chance to see what is happening.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
In fairness to her, that's a long day.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I mean you start getting text messages at six thirty
your time, and then you're flying back, and then the
flight was something like twenty four hours in the air.
Although it feels like that's too long to be flying,
because that's how long it takes for the world to
rotate under you if you're in a plane.
Speaker 9 (10:52):
Eyewitness Jews requested these text messages in the days after
the fires, but earlier this month the mayor told us
her text messages were set to auto delete.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
My phone did automatic delete after thirty.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Days, but after working to retrieve the texts, today we
got some of them, and today the mayor told us
she's happy they're public.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I'm so glad that everyone can see the texts that
I was sending and receiving when I wasn't there when
you needed me the most. I am glad that they're
now out there, and I hope that people can see
exactly what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Trying to get my microphone to work.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
People need to know that their mayor is working hard
to get that dumb microphone to work so I can
video chat with people from halfway around the world when
I should be at home.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
They need to see that.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Transparency advocates are also glad that mayor's text are public,
but some of them are still scratching their heads.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Yeah, or they may have dodged a bullet in the
sense that those texts were still recoverable. But but the
mayor should not have an auto deleting text in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, so that's that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
And the second dumb thing that came out of all
of it, why were you auto deleting text messages? You're
a government official. You have to hang on to those.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We know that. And then what's that other thing that happened?
Why was see text messages?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Why?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I know what it was. Why were you in Africa
when your town was burning down? That was the other
That was the other thing that people are concerned with. Yeah,
the attempts at recall are more about the whole why
are you in Africa while we're on fire? And not
so much how come you have your text set to
auto delete? Although the texting auto delete thing is a
(12:48):
problem when it comes to transparency, But yeah, no, what
we're really upset about is the whole you're the leader
and you were nowhere to be found. Second to that
is why can't you get your microphone to work on Zoom?
That also would be something that I would sign the
recall petition about if you're if you are the mayor,
you should.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Know how to unmute yourself. That seems it seems like
a basic to me.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So the Health and Human Services is making some cuts.
Remember they offered ten thousand people all buyout, and now
RFK is slashing another ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So what does that do for you and I? Where
does that leave us.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
As far as all the things that the Health and
Human Services.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Is responsible for? NBC News with a report. Oh thanks,
sorry about that. Let me let me play it again. Sorry,
I had Mike. I muted it while we were recording
off the air CONO. There you go. That's behind the
scenes here. Let's try again. I feel embarrassed. Do you respond?
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Controversial Health in Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior
Today's slashing ten thousand jobs.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
There we all right?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Now we're chainly focus on paring away excess administrators while
increasing the number of scientists and frontline health providers.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Okay, so there you go. Now, rewind everything else. I
was just saying before I bone that up. So somehow
we're cutting twenty thousand administrators and we're growing the number
of researchers and scientists.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Sounds great. I just don't know that the math works out.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I don't know that you can cut the twenty thousand
administrators and increase the number of scientists and researchers. If
you're cutting twenty thousand people from Health and Human Services,
I gotta believe some of those are going to be
scientists and researchers.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Cuts include thirty five hundred employees at the FDA, but
not affecting inspectors or drug medical device or food reviewers.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well that's good.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Twenty four hundred at the CDC to focus on its
core mission of preparing for and responding to epidemics. This
on top of the ten ten thousand other workers gone
in Elon Musk's doze efforts. In all, a quarter of
the agency's workforce.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Are you telling me that a quarter of Health and
Human Services was administrative? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I don't buy it. I'm sorry, I'm just I'm not
going to believe it. And not only that, but when
you cut the funding to Health and Human Services, you're
talking about cutting funding to clinical trials. Now, if you've
ever been a part of a clinical trial, you're recruited
(15:33):
or you volunteer for it, whatever it might be.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
And I did this one time. It wasn't anything that
was significant.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
It was like a weight loss trial thing, and come
to find out, I was fat enough to qualify so
in some of these clinical trials, though it's something more
significant like vaccines or new medical procedures or something of
that sort of fact.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You've probably heard advertisements before.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
If you suffer from this, we want to talk to you, right,
you've probably heard that before.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So the Health and.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Human Service IS will fund some of these clinical trials
because we're trying to make America healthier. And then they
develop these new vaccines, they developed the drugs, they developed
the therapies. We know this when we had the operation
warp Speed trying to come up with a vaccine for
COVID nineteen, and we had to go through clinical trials
and we expedited those.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
We did much in the way of animal testing before
we started injecting the the mRNA vaccine into humans and
then turning them into five g antennas.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
All of these things are done with the process.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Now, if you're a part of this and you're volunteering
for it, are you going to volunteer for a clinical
trial for say a new vaccine. If they say, listen,
we want to see if this vaccine works. But if
it doesn't and you develop, say a third arm, yeah,
you're on.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Your own no, no, of course not.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You volunteer for the clinical trial with the understanding that
if anything goes wrong, that they cover.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
That, that they help you. If there are.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Any side effects, they promise to care for and monitor
you through the trials end.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
They will care for you through the end of the trial.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And remember whenever we have these clinical trials and you
hear about these drugs and they give that long list
of all the different things that it could potentially, well,
it may cause itching of the perineum, which makes dating awkward.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It could give you a rash.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, hotdog fingers, all of these different things
stole that from Saturday night life. These are all things
that then the clinical trials they promise that they will
help you deal with.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Or scratch that itch.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And so if all of a sudden we're cutting funding,
imagine that you're somebody that's in that clinical trial and
you just got a vaccine shot. Now imagine when that
vaccine shot hits, if you have an adverse reaction, but oops, sorry,
we cut the funding to take care of you, and
we've ended that clinical trial. And as you can plainly
(18:03):
see from the agreement that you signed, that we promised
to care for and monitor you through the trial's end,
and now that the trial has ended, even though we
didn't have a chance to see if there were any
side effects, our obligation to you is also over. But
if you can just let us know if the vaccine worked,
that'd be great. We'd appreciate it. You may end up
(18:24):
worse off than when you started.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You just can't eliminate a quarter of the workforce and
not have some effect on agency operations.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Katie Sandlin, one of those let go in the first wave, says,
today's news compounds for disillusion and I just not the
place that I've spent my on your career trying to
reach anymore, at least from the outside looking in.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That's how it fills.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Meanwhile, in West Texas, where there's a measles outbreak.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It's take more. Cod liver oil.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Is vaccine skeptic Kennedy's words about alternative therapies that may
have an impact like what also.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh cod liver oil, which has.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
High concentrations of vitamin A and vitamin D.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Doctors at Covenant Children's Hospital in Lubbock report a handful
of cases fewer than ten involving liver damage caused by
too much vitamin A from.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Cod liver oil.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I mean liver damage from other things. I understand, but
that's kind of embarrassing. Sorry, guys, I'm gonna have to
pass that drink. Oh are you recovering well?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Kind of.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I took too much cod liver oil and my body
can't process it.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
All the patients were unvaccinated. Doctor Ana Montana's is a
pediatrician in the area. And can cod liver oil prevent measles?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Corsic?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Can Can it treat measles?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Corse? It can?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
No, The only thing that prevents measles is vaccination.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well that's what you say, but we've got a Kennedy
that says otherwise. And he told us more cod liver oil. Now,
who are you going to trust? I remember when you
were young? Oh I do. I remember it fondly. It
was so so, so long ago.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And when I was young, my mother used to say,
you can't date Catholics. And I said why Mom? She said,
because they're not Christians. And I said, I'm pretty sure
they are. Mom, I'm pretty sure they believe in Jesus.
She goes, well, I'll have to look into that, and
then when I first got into radio, I got my
first gig, and I went and I lived with a
(20:31):
guy who was a member of the LDS Church, And
I said, I told my mother I was visiting one time.
I was living in Colorado and I went home to
visit my folks, and I said, you know, I'm learning
a lot from my room, and I'm learning about their religion,
and it's really fascinating.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
She says, well, you know, they don't believe in Jesus.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And I said, do you think the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter day Saints doesn't believe in Jesus. Mom,
She says, well, I'll have to look into that. Suffice
it to say, Mom was very concerned with the religion
of anyone that I ever dated. Not that I ever
dated anyone who was devoutly religious one comes to mind,
but not for very long.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Nowadays it's something different.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Fortunately I'm married and so we don't have the religious
conversation any longer. But now I hesitate to wonder what
my mother would say, Well, they voted for Trump, didn't they.
Well we've become so divided that people are adding their
political affiliations and for whom they voted in their dating profiles.
(21:31):
Of course, when I started dating, there was no such
thing as a dating profile. You had to meet somebody
the old fashioned way, by caunking them on the head
and dragging them home after you meet them at the bar.
But nowadays you go online and you can fill out
your Amazon shopping list of what you want in someone,
and at the top of that list for so many
people is politics. I thought that was really curious. Could
(21:55):
you date somebody of the opposing political vantage point? I
guess it kind of depends on how big of an
a hole you are or they are. I give an example.
Think about people in your life. You got people with
whom you probably disagree politically right, and do you say
(22:15):
that those people are pure evil? Do you say that
those people are mentally deranged or mentally ill? I've seen
politicians say this, of course. I do a daily show
in Arizona and there's a lot of Arizona politicians that
like to spew that kind of nonsense too, And they say, if.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You're liberal, you're mentally ill. And I thought that's bizarre.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
In fact, I believe there was one politician in Georgia
that wanted to declare, was it Georgia.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
It was the same guy that just maybe.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It was Idaho, the guy that wanted to declare liberalism
is a mental illness and then later got busted trying
to meet up with underage kids.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's kind of a weird twist at the end of
that story.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I don't know that I would call anyone that disagrees
with me mentally ill. In fact, my wife and I
disagree on some pretty big political issues, and lo and behold,
she hasn't.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Kicked me out yet. It works out all right.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Meanwhile, if you've been traveling lately, you may have noticed
that the garb people wear when they go to the
airport has gotten revealing. Lord knows I have, Lord knows,
I've never booked so many tickets in my entire life.
I gotta love me some of them Lulu Lemons. Gary
knows what I'm talking about. Ah, Gary knows what I'm
(23:30):
talking about. Gotta love those Lulu Lemon travel pants. But
now I guess that gen Z's are trying to ruin everything.
We finally got millennials to wear Lulu Lemon pants when
they were traveling, But now gen Z comes along and says, Nope,
forget about the tight fitting clothes. Now, if you're cool,
you not only wear long white socks like our great
(23:53):
great grandfathers did, but you also wear baggy clothes.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Like gen x.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
If there's one mistake that we made as gen Xers,
it was all the baggy clothes. So please gen Z
learn from our mistakes. When you're traveling.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Let's just go with those take fits. And this is.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Coming from a gen Xer who experienced baggy clothes and
is also pervy in his old age. Just follow my advice.
Gary and Shannon shows next. Been a pleasure hanging out
with you can't wait until the next time. Please join
me Sunday afternoon starting at four o'clock, where they relegate
the part timers to their normal hidden on.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
A Sunday shift. Good talking with you, Take care.
Speaker 3 (24:33):

Speaker 2 (00:08):
There it's KFI AM six forty. Pleasure being with you.
Usually a footy.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Friday, but Neil bailed on us. By the way, he
is in all next week and he'll be coming for Bill.
I'm gonna take a little vacation myself and I wish
Neil the best and wish you were here to talk
food because there are a few things I love more.
But alas, instead we end up talking Greenland. So you
know that Usha Vance, that is the second Lady, was
(00:36):
planning on going to Greenland.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's been the plan.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
But we're so excited about Greenland that now jd Vance,
the Vice President, is also going to Greenland, and he's
taking with him the can I say, embattled National Security
Advisor Mike Waltz, They're off to Greenland. I suppose to visit.
It's a one day tour. Now, it was supposed to
be a little bit broader, and the initial was supposed
(01:00):
to meet to the Capitol. It was also supposed to
take in a dog sled race. Because when you're in Greenland,
do you do as the Greenlanders do, and you watch
the dog sledding that also is off. Instead they are
visiting the military base that's there, and I guess serving
the no. NBC News was talking about it.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
On the eve of an unwelcome scaled back US visit
to Greenland. The competition over the Arctic is heating up.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh, why are we so fixated on Greenland?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
As Vice President JD.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Walt,
and Energy Secretary Chris Wright prepared to fly to the
remote northwest BD Folks Space Base to meet with US
military personnel.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Skip, Wait a minute, what's the name of the base.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
To meet with US military personnel.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I'll go back further.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Prepared to fly to the remote northwest b D Folks
Space Base.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
BD Folks Space You can't say, no, you can't say
that b.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
D Folks Space Base.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Hold onds, no, you can't say it. Here I got
to you were not allowed to say that on the radio.
Color you're gonna want to dump that because you can't
say that word on the radio.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'll correct it so that we get it right.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Okay, it's the space base in Greenland is in the
town of what is it?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Against space base.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That's better, Okay, you can't say the F word to.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Meet with US military personnel skipping out on the originally
planned cultural tour stops in Greenlandic cities, Russian President Pluton
cautions the US is serious.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Everybody knows very well.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
He said today about the US plans to take over Greenland,
and yesterday President Trump doubled down.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
We need Greenland and the world needs us to have Greenland,
including Denmark.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Denmark has to have us have Greenland.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Why why do we Why does Denmark need us to
have Greenland? The argument is going to be a national
security that we are the world police, and that means
we have to have the best police stations, and the
best police stations come in Greenland because it's in the
Arctic Circle, and right now, our presence in the Arctic Circle,
which of course is the hop, skip and jump to
(03:14):
the rest of Northern Europe northern Asia, that gives us
an advantage. So the more Arctic Circle we can have,
the better it's going to be, and that means the
safer it's going to be for Denmark.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That's going to be the argument. But what else is there?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Why the fixation on the largest least populated island in
the world.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
A territory of Denmark.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Greenland is eighty percent ice. And as the ice melts,
as you can see right here, due to global warming.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
That's where Trump' sees opportunity.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
No, no, no, it's national security.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Denmark needs us to have them for international security. As
you know, President Trump has always been very big on
more involvement.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
In foreign No he's not. He's going to get us
out of foreign wars.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Well, then why does it benefit Denmark to have us
I don't understand we're doing less. I thought we were
less interventionalists. Under I'm so confused right now. So what
could be the motivation?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Then?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Underneath all this ize lies the prospect of an estimated
one point five million tons of rare earth elements, as
well as oil and natural gas reserves.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Oh, I see, we're doing the Gulf war thing.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
There it is.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
See. I thought we learned a lesson in a rock
one and then the sequel I thought that we were Oh.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I got you.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
This is like, hey, we went to war in Rock
and we said it's because of the mistreatment. And then
we went to war in the Rock again. We said, well,
it is the weapons of mass destruction, and then there
weren't any but it was okay because we got access
to the oils. And so now we just say, well, Greenland,
they've got those earth metals that we need for Elon's batteries,
(05:03):
and they also have oil, but it's under all of
this ice, so we're gonna need to melt that ice first.
Everyone grab a can of hairspray and head outside. We're
gonna have to global warm up Greenland fast so we
can get to these rare earth metals quickly.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Strategic Arctic shipping lanes also opening up, and Russia and
China together already working on the key Northern Sea rout
Here in the Capitol of Nuke, Andrews Larsen says, they
like America here, but not enough to want to be American.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Do you feel tech stepped and feel like it can
be difficult to depend on America. This is kind of
like I like my in laws, but not enough to
want to live with them. You know, I got very fortunate.
My mother in law is great. She is hilarious. She
doesn't mean to be, but she's a blast. However, anytime
(05:55):
she actually stays with us, pretty sure there's gonna be
a dead body buried in the backyard. Just not positive
if it's going to be hers or if she's gonna
get to me first. But one way or another, the
living together situation doesn't work. In other words, Greenland is
saying the United States, you guys are fun to hang
out with, but we don't want to live with you
in the future.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
But it's all about collaboration, says Greenland again. P koopernuk Olson.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
We need to learn to dance with the US.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah, we need to figure out how to fantanas together.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Yes, dance together, Molly Hunter, NBC News Nuke Greenland.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Nuke, All right, fantastic. So what will happen here? Nothing,
We're not going to get Greenland. This emphasis for Greenland
is an obsession that the president had during his first administration,
and when he broke that, we all thought, where's he
out of his mind?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
And then we.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Thought, let's reelect the guy that we questioned whether or
not he's out of his mind. We do, and then
come to find out he's serious about going to Greenland,
which lead you to question if there are other things
he's serious about from the first administration, like replacing the
National Weather Service with a Sharpie. Based on the doage cuts,
(07:12):
looks like he was SKFIM six forty more stimulating talk.
Chris merrill in for Bill Handle Today listened anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app and on the socials at
Bill Handle Show at Bill Handles Show. So the plan
here we talk about Mayor Bass and it's all about
that Bass and her text messages. If you'll recall, the
(07:32):
fire started to break out and Mayor Bass was she
was on a delegation to Ghana, which is problematic, and
then people said, Mayor Bass, why would you go to
Ghana when we have these high winds? And Mayor Bass said,
nobody told me it was gonna be windy because her
(07:54):
weather channel was broken, I guess, And so she went
to Africa basically roll in the dice and thinking, well,
maybe there won't be any fires or anything else that
I'll need to be in Los Angeles for. I'll just
go to Africa and then if anything breaks out, they
can just reach me. And then once they reach me,
my phone will just auto delete any text messages that
I get that could be potentially incriminating. Oops, Nope, you
(08:20):
gotta keep those texts. Everybody knows and when it comes
to government correspondence. You gotta keep those texts unless it's
on the signal app.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Then I mean, what can you do? Sorry, they're gone,
Sorry America. Sorry, so Mayor.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Bass said, her phone auto deleted her texts and they're
probably gone forever.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
But lo and behold, geeks stepped in.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
It's eleven forty eight am on January the seventh, and
here at home that Palisades fire is spreading fast in
Ghana where the mayor is. It's six forty eight pm
and this text pops up on her phone from her
deputy chief of Staffen Cordero. You up on phone with
Chie Crawley. Now two significant fires in the city. Now
(09:07):
she will call you, Mayor Hollywood Pacific Palisades. Potential evacuations,
significant resources, forty mile wins, one hundred acres affected in
next twenty minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
That was the text message.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
That feels like if you're the mayor of that town,
you would be mildly concerned.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
At eleven twenty three pm, gun a time, Mayor Bass
appears to be on a video call with staff as
she texts, I am listening.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Don't know why you can't hear me?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Court, She boomered, the video call.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Is this thing on? Why can't you hear me? Hello?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Hello? Yeah, you have to unmute at Mayor Bass, you
have to unmute that. You're gonna have to You're gonna
have to press. We can't hear you. Why can't you
hear me?
Speaker 9 (09:58):
Ordero responds, Oh, no, okay, no, we can't hear you.
Hours later, California's Senator Adam shiff texted the mayor, the
fires are just awful. Please let me know whatever I
can do to help.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Can you just cover it. I'm in Ghana and I
can't get this zoom to work.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Hello.
Speaker 9 (10:18):
The mayor texted back, thanks so much. I'm actually in
the air headed home from Ghana. I know disaster aid
will be needed. I land in the am and would
like to be in touch by late afternoon after I've
had a chance to see what is happening.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
In fairness to her, that's a long day.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
I mean you start getting text messages at six thirty
your time, and then you're flying back, and then the
flight was something like twenty four hours in the air.
Although it feels like that's too long to be flying,
because that's how long it takes for the world to
rotate under you if you're in a plane.
Speaker 9 (10:52):
Eyewitness Jews requested these text messages in the days after
the fires, but earlier this month the mayor told us
her text messages were set to auto delete.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
My phone did automatic delete after thirty.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
Days, but after working to retrieve the texts, today we
got some of them, and today the mayor told us
she's happy they're public.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
I'm so glad that everyone can see the texts that
I was sending and receiving when I wasn't there when
you needed me the most. I am glad that they're
now out there, and I hope that people can see
exactly what I was doing.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Trying to get my microphone to work.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
People need to know that their mayor is working hard
to get that dumb microphone to work so I can
video chat with people from halfway around the world when
I should be at home.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
They need to see that.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
Transparency advocates are also glad that mayor's text are public,
but some of them are still scratching their heads.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
Yeah, or they may have dodged a bullet in the
sense that those texts were still recoverable. But but the
mayor should not have an auto deleting text in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yeah, so that's that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
And the second dumb thing that came out of all
of it, why were you auto deleting text messages? You're
a government official. You have to hang on to those.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We know that. And then what's that other thing that happened?
Why was see text messages?
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Why?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I know what it was. Why were you in Africa
when your town was burning down? That was the other
That was the other thing that people are concerned with. Yeah,
the attempts at recall are more about the whole why
are you in Africa while we're on fire? And not
so much how come you have your text set to
auto delete? Although the texting auto delete thing is a
(12:48):
problem when it comes to transparency, But yeah, no, what
we're really upset about is the whole you're the leader
and you were nowhere to be found. Second to that
is why can't you get your microphone to work on Zoom?
That also would be something that I would sign the
recall petition about if you're if you are the mayor,
you should.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Know how to unmute yourself. That seems it seems like
a basic to me.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
So the Health and Human Services is making some cuts.
Remember they offered ten thousand people all buyout, and now
RFK is slashing another ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
So what does that do for you and I? Where
does that leave us.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
As far as all the things that the Health and
Human Services.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Is responsible for? NBC News with a report. Oh thanks,
sorry about that. Let me let me play it again. Sorry,
I had Mike. I muted it while we were recording
off the air CONO. There you go. That's behind the
scenes here. Let's try again. I feel embarrassed. Do you respond?
Speaker 8 (13:58):
Controversial Health in Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior
Today's slashing ten thousand jobs.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
There we all right?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Now we're chainly focus on paring away excess administrators while
increasing the number of scientists and frontline health providers.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Okay, so there you go. Now, rewind everything else. I
was just saying before I bone that up. So somehow
we're cutting twenty thousand administrators and we're growing the number
of researchers and scientists.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Sounds great. I just don't know that the math works out.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
I don't know that you can cut the twenty thousand
administrators and increase the number of scientists and researchers. If
you're cutting twenty thousand people from Health and Human Services,
I gotta believe some of those are going to be
scientists and researchers.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Cuts include thirty five hundred employees at the FDA, but
not affecting inspectors or drug medical device or food reviewers.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well that's good.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
Twenty four hundred at the CDC to focus on its
core mission of preparing for and responding to epidemics. This
on top of the ten ten thousand other workers gone
in Elon Musk's doze efforts. In all, a quarter of
the agency's workforce.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Are you telling me that a quarter of Health and
Human Services was administrative? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I don't buy it. I'm sorry, I'm just I'm not
going to believe it. And not only that, but when
you cut the funding to Health and Human Services, you're
talking about cutting funding to clinical trials. Now, if you've
ever been a part of a clinical trial, you're recruited
(15:33):
or you volunteer for it, whatever it might be.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
And I did this one time. It wasn't anything that
was significant.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
It was like a weight loss trial thing, and come
to find out, I was fat enough to qualify so
in some of these clinical trials, though it's something more
significant like vaccines or new medical procedures or something of
that sort of fact.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You've probably heard advertisements before.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
If you suffer from this, we want to talk to you, right,
you've probably heard that before.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So the Health and.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Human Service IS will fund some of these clinical trials
because we're trying to make America healthier. And then they
develop these new vaccines, they developed the drugs, they developed
the therapies. We know this when we had the operation
warp Speed trying to come up with a vaccine for
COVID nineteen, and we had to go through clinical trials
and we expedited those.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
We did much in the way of animal testing before
we started injecting the the mRNA vaccine into humans and
then turning them into five g antennas.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
All of these things are done with the process.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Now, if you're a part of this and you're volunteering
for it, are you going to volunteer for a clinical
trial for say a new vaccine. If they say, listen,
we want to see if this vaccine works. But if
it doesn't and you develop, say a third arm, yeah,
you're on.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Your own no, no, of course not.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
You volunteer for the clinical trial with the understanding that
if anything goes wrong, that they cover.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
That, that they help you. If there are.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Any side effects, they promise to care for and monitor
you through the trials end.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
They will care for you through the end of the trial.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And remember whenever we have these clinical trials and you
hear about these drugs and they give that long list
of all the different things that it could potentially, well,
it may cause itching of the perineum, which makes dating awkward.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It could give you a rash.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, hotdog fingers, all of these different things
stole that from Saturday night life. These are all things
that then the clinical trials they promise that they will
help you deal with.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Or scratch that itch.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
And so if all of a sudden we're cutting funding,
imagine that you're somebody that's in that clinical trial and
you just got a vaccine shot. Now imagine when that
vaccine shot hits, if you have an adverse reaction, but oops, sorry,
we cut the funding to take care of you, and
we've ended that clinical trial. And as you can plainly
(18:03):
see from the agreement that you signed, that we promised
to care for and monitor you through the trial's end,
and now that the trial has ended, even though we
didn't have a chance to see if there were any
side effects, our obligation to you is also over. But
if you can just let us know if the vaccine worked,
that'd be great. We'd appreciate it. You may end up
(18:24):
worse off than when you started.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
You just can't eliminate a quarter of the workforce and
not have some effect on agency operations.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Katie Sandlin, one of those let go in the first wave, says,
today's news compounds for disillusion and I just not the
place that I've spent my on your career trying to
reach anymore, at least from the outside looking in.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That's how it fills.
Speaker 8 (18:46):
Meanwhile, in West Texas, where there's a measles outbreak.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
It's take more. Cod liver oil.
Speaker 8 (18:53):
Is vaccine skeptic Kennedy's words about alternative therapies that may
have an impact like what also.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh cod liver oil, which has.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
High concentrations of vitamin A and vitamin D.
Speaker 8 (19:07):
Doctors at Covenant Children's Hospital in Lubbock report a handful
of cases fewer than ten involving liver damage caused by
too much vitamin A from.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Cod liver oil.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I mean liver damage from other things. I understand, but
that's kind of embarrassing. Sorry, guys, I'm gonna have to
pass that drink. Oh are you recovering well?
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Kind of.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I took too much cod liver oil and my body
can't process it.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
All the patients were unvaccinated. Doctor Ana Montana's is a
pediatrician in the area. And can cod liver oil prevent measles?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Corsic?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Can Can it treat measles?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Corse? It can?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
No, The only thing that prevents measles is vaccination.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well that's what you say, but we've got a Kennedy
that says otherwise. And he told us more cod liver oil. Now,
who are you going to trust? I remember when you
were young? Oh I do. I remember it fondly. It
was so so, so long ago.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And when I was young, my mother used to say,
you can't date Catholics. And I said why Mom? She said,
because they're not Christians. And I said, I'm pretty sure
they are. Mom, I'm pretty sure they believe in Jesus.
She goes, well, I'll have to look into that, and
then when I first got into radio, I got my
first gig, and I went and I lived with a
(20:31):
guy who was a member of the LDS Church, And
I said, I told my mother I was visiting one time.
I was living in Colorado and I went home to
visit my folks, and I said, you know, I'm learning
a lot from my room, and I'm learning about their religion,
and it's really fascinating.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
She says, well, you know, they don't believe in Jesus.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
And I said, do you think the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter day Saints doesn't believe in Jesus. Mom,
She says, well, I'll have to look into that. Suffice
it to say, Mom was very concerned with the religion
of anyone that I ever dated. Not that I ever
dated anyone who was devoutly religious one comes to mind,
but not for very long.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Nowadays it's something different.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Fortunately I'm married and so we don't have the religious
conversation any longer. But now I hesitate to wonder what
my mother would say, Well, they voted for Trump, didn't they.
Well we've become so divided that people are adding their
political affiliations and for whom they voted in their dating profiles.
(21:31):
Of course, when I started dating, there was no such
thing as a dating profile. You had to meet somebody
the old fashioned way, by caunking them on the head
and dragging them home after you meet them at the bar.
But nowadays you go online and you can fill out
your Amazon shopping list of what you want in someone,
and at the top of that list for so many
people is politics. I thought that was really curious. Could
(21:55):
you date somebody of the opposing political vantage point? I
guess it kind of depends on how big of an
a hole you are or they are. I give an example.
Think about people in your life. You got people with
whom you probably disagree politically right, and do you say
(22:15):
that those people are pure evil? Do you say that
those people are mentally deranged or mentally ill? I've seen
politicians say this, of course. I do a daily show
in Arizona and there's a lot of Arizona politicians that
like to spew that kind of nonsense too, And they say, if.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
You're liberal, you're mentally ill. And I thought that's bizarre.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
In fact, I believe there was one politician in Georgia
that wanted to declare, was it Georgia.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
It was the same guy that just maybe.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It was Idaho, the guy that wanted to declare liberalism
is a mental illness and then later got busted trying
to meet up with underage kids.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
It's kind of a weird twist at the end of
that story.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I don't know that I would call anyone that disagrees
with me mentally ill. In fact, my wife and I
disagree on some pretty big political issues, and lo and behold,
she hasn't.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Kicked me out yet. It works out all right.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Meanwhile, if you've been traveling lately, you may have noticed
that the garb people wear when they go to the
airport has gotten revealing. Lord knows I have, Lord knows,
I've never booked so many tickets in my entire life.
I gotta love me some of them Lulu Lemons. Gary
knows what I'm talking about. Ah, Gary knows what I'm
(23:30):
talking about. Gotta love those Lulu Lemon travel pants. But
now I guess that gen Z's are trying to ruin everything.
We finally got millennials to wear Lulu Lemon pants when
they were traveling, But now gen Z comes along and says, Nope,
forget about the tight fitting clothes. Now, if you're cool,
you not only wear long white socks like our great
(23:53):
great grandfathers did, but you also wear baggy clothes.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Like gen x.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
If there's one mistake that we made as gen Xers,
it was all the baggy clothes. So please gen Z
learn from our mistakes. When you're traveling.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Let's just go with those take fits. And this is.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Coming from a gen Xer who experienced baggy clothes and
is also pervy in his old age. Just follow my advice.
Gary and Shannon shows next. Been a pleasure hanging out
with you can't wait until the next time. Please join
me Sunday afternoon starting at four o'clock, where they relegate
the part timers to their normal hidden on.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
A Sunday shift. Good talking with you, Take care.
