then I also got married in the middle of this thing.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So I mean, was it a vacation, I guess, so
it was a vacation. Slash marriage, slash honeymoon slash get
out of dodge.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
It took me a while to convince you that honeymoon
doesn't mean dropping trow.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's a good point. That's a good point. We had
a lot of talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
First of all, let me say hello to everyone who
I've been working with so many years.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Amy, Good morning, Hi Bill, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So the wiggle waggle Google bugle walk went okay.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
It went happy looks Yeah, it was great. It was great.
Lots and lots of people turned out. A ton of
people joined the wake up called Wigglers. We raised lots
of money and it was it was a good time.
You should put your dog out next year.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well my dog was in doggy training.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Maybe I will, you know, because now it's uh yeah, yeah,
I think I will.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I did give money, didn't I did? I donate? I
think I did.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I don't think you did.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh oh, don't do that to me. If you think,
let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
If you think you're going to shame me into giving
money that I have already given, boy, you're paying that
one back.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
I don't think you did.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think I did.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I always just I thank everybody who donated and I'll.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Look at it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I didn't see your name.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Anybody bring a dead dog? No, you know that. Just
a quick story about that i'd share with you.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We used to have Rich Marauda on the show. I
think this is before you even came aboard. Rich was
a sports guy for many, many years here on the
morning show. He was with us for twenty something years. Anyway,
he had a dog, Henry, this little puff.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Ball of a dog.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You know those little, tiny, puffy white dogs that looked
like a gay guy's carpet slippers, you know those and
the Anyway, he loved that dog. I mean, he loved
just beyondwards. And so when Henry died, he was so distraught.
I mean he could barely move. I mean there's no
question how upset Rich was. So I called him up
(03:28):
a few weeks later, and this was off the air,
and I was talking to him and I said, so,
how's it going. And he had to excuse himself. He goes, Bill,
excuse me, it's time for my walk with Henry. And
I'm thinking, wait a minute. Henry died a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And to give you an idea how sick Rich was
or is, Rich would take the box.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That Henry's ashes were in, and he would walk around
the golf course with it. Because he lived up in Reno,
still does. He took Henry out for a walk every day.
I thought i'd share that with you in any case.
You yeah, good, good morning, Neil, Good morning, Willie Wolf,
(04:17):
thank you. And Neil was there at the wedding. I'm
going to talk about that in the moment. By the way,
I'm going to be bringing my new bride. She's going
to say, come on at eight o'clock, say hello. I
thought introduce her and she can say hello, and you
too can also appreciate how nut she is. And Neil
was there as my best man.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Ann good morning, good morning, Bill, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh, thank you, good morning, good morning, good morning. Will
are you there?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Will is not here today?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Now you know what he's flying over an arena in
San Antonio today?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Why because he is.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
He has a side hustle, and one of the things
he does is he goes around the country and you
know those aerial views of like football games and basketball
arenas and stuff. He's up there flying around recording those.
Oh or no, not even recording him, but they do
live shots of him.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
And they have no idea.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And the only reason I ask if if Will is
even there or not, because Will I'm at home broadcasting
this morning, and I'm watching everybody on Zoom, viewing everybody on Zoom,
and he sometimes he's on, sometimes he's not.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Okay, person on your morning show, by the way, that
doesn't have a second job except.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You, Uh well, I have plenty of second jobs. Come on,
how about this. How about Handle on the Law second job?
How about Handle on the law dot com second job?
How about being involved with Zelman's second job. How about
the import business with Platinum cookwear, with Savile second job.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Those aren't real jobs.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
That's really people jobs where you just give money and
and you just say someone else run it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
We do. We do poor people jobs, huh, where we
have to be there.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
No, I have okay, fair enough anyway, I just want
to do a quick I want to tell you a
quick story before we go on, and we talk more
with Lindsay coming to board at eight o'clock. And then
there's video of the wedding out there. It's going to
at Bill Handle show. It's really some fun stuff. It
was Oh my god, it was a handle ass wedding.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
It really was.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Job does not cover it?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, great, great fund. So you can go to the website,
or you can go to the you can log and
the instagram at bill handle show. Now a couple of
things about the medical world out there, all right, you
know how I bitch and moan about the American medical
system and how our entire medical system is broken.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So Lindsay got pretty ill.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She is, she's asthmatic, and she had and tack and
needed to go to the er, and so like this
is in Palermo, Sicily. By the way, if you ever
have a chance to go to Sicily, don't. It's not
the most fun place. It's not very clean, it's old,
it's poor. They don't know, they don't know how a
(07:17):
road works without potholes, and they've never understood that in
any case. So we go to the er because she
had to be treated with this nebulizer, you know, the
breathing apperatics oxygen with medicine in it that coats her
lungs and expands her lungs. So we go to the
er and it is a thirty second wait, thirty seconds,
(07:40):
walk in the door, immediately put her in the triage
areas what they call the the emergency room and the
blood pressure they run an IV. Now, the hospital is old,
the equipment is world class.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It's as good as it yets.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And they give the treatment to her, and she was
all stuck up, and the doctor said, you need an NT,
you need a specialist, and usually you have to wait
for hours. She goes, takes the elevator upstairs. There's the
NT waiting for her. They put the scope in her face,
looks around. Uh huh, that's what you have, writes a
(08:17):
prescription for a pile of medication. I go to the
drug store. I pick it up in out drug store.
All of that about an hour and fifteen. And then
on the way out, I say, okay, so where do
I pay? And they looked at me like I was
from another planet. They go, what do you mean where
do you pay?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You don't pay?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You know, this is free medicine, this is national medicine.
I said, but you don't understand. I don't live here.
I'm aturrest, so of course I'm going to pay. They go,
we don't have a mechanism for you to pay. We
can't collect money if we wanted to. There is no
mechanism this is national medicine, nationalized medicine. I went, okay,
(08:58):
and everybody bitches him is how terrible it is over there.
I gotta tell you, you know, I know people think it's
not so great, but I was pretty impressed.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I was.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
She got sick, pretty pretty.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
She did get sick. A lot of people got a
lot of sick. Yeah, well that's a given. But a
lot of people got sick. You got sick, Tracy got sick.
Jim Keeney got sick.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
At the end I talk, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
A lot of people were sick. All right, guys, let's
go ye uh yeah. I know you just got married.
But my lemonlaw Lawyer dot com. If she's still sick,
my lemonlaw Lawyer dot com, you might have gotten a dud.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Huh. Let me think that one through.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Okay, it's very she keeps if you got to keep
taking her back and forth.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I know, I get it. No, I got no, I
got it.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm just trying to figure out and realize how clever
that was.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I'm super clever.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, I'm reaching for that one.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I've forgotten how clever I am.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, handle here on a Monday morning, it is
the seventh day of April. Okay, before I get into
what's going on with the market, and we're expecting the
markets to explode today again downwards, coming off of going
to Europe Italy where I just got married. As you're
(10:17):
gonna be introduced to Lindsay coming up at eight o'clock,
I'm gonna have her say hello to us. And she
is pretty liberal. I mean, she is pretty out there liberal,
and so obviously she's not a huge fan of what's
going on in this country. But it's really interesting as
we went through Italy and people would ask, oh, are
(10:37):
you American?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And what her response was.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Lindsay's response was, instead of saying yeah, and then the
conversation goes, where are you from Los Angeles and on
and on, she started with.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I didn't vote for him. I want you to know
right now, I didn't vote for him.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And so that started the conversation. And here was the
response that we got back. And this is not a
value judgment, because I'm going to talk a little bit
about the markets obviously in the next few minutes and
what's going on, and it's not nearly as black and.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
White as people portray this on either side, but I
will tell you.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
What I experienced over there is people don't get it.
They do not understand what is going on here. They
just don't understand Donald Trump, and they don't understand who
he is.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well, I think they do for the most part. I mean,
he's pretty transparent.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
But they don't understand what we are about bringing him
to office. They get none of the nuances as to
why he was able to connect in many ways the
Republicans the Democrats were not, how the Democrats missed the boat,
how our philosophy is, how the DEI and the political
correctness was overdone by the Democrats, on and on.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
They miss all of that.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
All they know is.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We don't understand what you guys are doing. We don't
understand him, what is happening. They are flummixed about this.
So let me then dive into what is going to
happen today, and it's going to be happening, and then
I'm going to give you a little bit of history here,
because I think we have to take all of this
in historical context. We know that Donald Trump's primary reason
(12:32):
for these tariffs is simple fairness reciprocity. When he says,
the other countries of the world make it very difficult
for US to sell products in their countries, and we
make it very easy for them to sell products in
our countries. And that's done by way of tariffs. That's
absolutely true. We sell far less into Canada.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
For example, than they sell to us.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
They make it more difficult for us to sell there
than we do for them to sell here.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
That's a given.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And what Trump is saying is this is simply a
question of fairness. That's a little more complicated than that, obviously,
but it's a basic reciprocity.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's that simple. It's very biblical.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Do onto others as you would wish they would do
onto you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, you charge.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Us twenty four percent tariffs, We're going to charge you
twenty four percent tariffs.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You're going to make it difficult. We're going to make
it difficult.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The problem is the United States is such a huge juggernaut.
It buys so much from the industrialized world, even the
non industrialized world.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Actually, relatively speaking, it's even.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
More important to the undeveloped countries that for this to happen,
royals the markets, and it has.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And it does.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
We are looking at once again. If it pans out today,
there'll be another huge sell off today, there will be
another major decrease of the stock market.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
We think it's happened already.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Overseas in Asia, the stock markets have just tanked. You've
got Japan I went down like eight nine percent, Hong Kong,
just all of the indexes. You've got Europe that's been
affected deeply. I mean, this is a roller coaster ride
in a way. I think what it does is augment
(14:35):
the argument that the United States really is.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
The economic juggernaut, is the it is the.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Not only just the movement, it is the engine of
the economic world. And man, I've heard you've heard the
phrase that when a president sneezes, the world catches a cold.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oh man, does this prove the point?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And so what I want to do is come back
a little bit and try to dive into this because
in a major basic way, is Trump right in all fairness?
Probably his position is, Hey, you know what, let's make
it an open system.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Let's be fair. Are tariffs and is the system now fair?
It is not.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It really isn't go to China and try to buy
a Buick. Try to buy a Ford in China. Go
to Europe. You don't see American cars there. See lots
of Japanese cars. You see French cars, of course, you
see German cars, you see Italian cars, and they slide
(15:45):
right off the road for some reason that you just
can't stay on the road. I never understood why. All right,
we're going to come back, and I'm going to go.
Thank you for laughing, Kno, no one else does in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
All right, where did I come back?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Rees joke or something completely one hundred percent?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I drove a hoogo and really.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
A poogo, and then we got we're gonna talk about
measles coming up too. Oh there's a story too about
the measles. It's got a lot to cover today, for sure,
and we're right back in the saddle.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh by the way, Neil, thank you for filling in.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I know you filled in for a week, and I'm
getting the reports that it was that you did an
extraordinarily mediocre job, and I'm very pleased to have that.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I focus on hitting low with the hopes of hitting medium.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Actually, people's response was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
They were very lovely people who could hear yeah, oh yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Handle on the news with Amy Neil me lead story.
It is free falling over the weekend yesterday in Asia
the stock markets.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
The index is just tanked right now.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The market opened up eight minutes ago and it is down.
The market is down another almost four percent at this point,
thirteen hundred points.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Oh, it's up to fourteen hundred fourteen points.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Now fourteen hundred points now going down and we'll.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
See this this is beyond correction.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
They think. We don't know at this point. We'll see
if there's going to be a reverse.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Even when the big crash happened, the Great Depression started,
there was Black Tuesday, and then it came back again
a day later, two days later, went up and then
it tanked. So even within those so we'll see if
this goes up again or this is just an initial call.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think it's not.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But a lot of it has to do with the tariffs,
which obviously I'm going to talk about a whole lot
more about what's happening because it's not that complicated.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But let's move on. There's other news.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Forget about me too. Now there's hands off. Almost ten
thousand protesters showed up at Pershing Square over the week,
a marching through the streets of downtown LA.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
The crowd stretched across several blocks.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
It was part of nationwide hands off protests against the
Trump administration's cuts in federal programs, mass layoffs, and terrifikes
that have, as Bill just mentioned, sent financial markets reeling.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, which is going on right now to say the least,
All right, while things dive on Wall Street rivers rise,
rivers are rising and flooding worsening just yesterday across the
US South and Midwest, threatening communities that have already been
(18:41):
smacked around and damaged by days and days of heavy rain. Also,
the wind killed at least eighteen people. The river's depths
have risen above forty seven feet in some areas, and
they expect to continue to go up.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
How many once in a generation, once in a lifetime,
once every thousand year.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Storms have we had the last year.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Twenty?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, precisely. It's getting built dark. Yeah, I know it's
getting really tough. It is getting very very tough with
the climate change.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, I know, it doesn't exist. It's gonna be a
tough place to live this world.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You know, I do not envy my kids or my
grandkids in terms of what's going to happen with the weather.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
College kids kicked out so UCLA's chancellor, Julio Frank, said
yesterday that six current students and six former students who
are participating in a training program have had their visas
terminated by the US government. UCLA is saying the termination
notices indicate that all were due to violations of the
(19:53):
terms of the individual's visa programs. President Trump did issue
an executive order in January three to revoke visas of
students who participated in pro Palestinian protests last spring. UCLA
was the site of some of those demonstrations. Across the country,
three hundred student visas have been terminated.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah, now these are.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
The small numbers, and we're talking about maybe what half
a dozen that happened over the weekend or a dozen.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
It's a few dozen around California, Like, yeah, it's twelve Ucla,
but then also some at Stanford and Berkeley.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, so we're talking small numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
But the important part is is that the schools have
no idea why the government is sharing the reason why.
It's just simply saying there was violation of the terms
of their staying here, and it's just an ongoing philosophy.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Also, keep in mind.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
That anybody who is pro Palestinian and I put that
in quotes or backs up hamas you would think. Hey,
first amendment, I mean, you have the right to talk
about who you're a four or who you're against all
day long. Well not if the government has declared a
certain organization as they a terrorist organization, and therefore backing
(21:04):
up that terrorist organization you are threat to national security.
I mean this has gone pretty far, to say the least.
Tell me this isn't going to be a court battle
or two by the time this is over all. Right,
let's do one more and then we will take a
break and then finish it up.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Israel, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Israel's military has backtracked on its account of the killing
of fifteen Palestinian medics in Gaza last month. There was
footage that contradicted their claims that their vehicles did not
have emergency signals on with Israeli troops open fire. Now
there is video that shows that the contrary. They say
(21:44):
that their account was mistaken.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, mistaken. Israel said, we're investigating.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And have you ever heard an outcome of any of
these investigations.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
We're going to do more about this at eight twenty
and it is. It's got the point now where there
is a rush to infamy by Hamas and or Netanyahu.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
We'll see you crosses that finish line. First. Both are
now way.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Into crimes against humanity and it is very, very tough
to deal with it. There are no good or bad
guys anymore. Even as biased as I am on this,
you reach your point. As Neil just pointed out, Come on, guys.
You know where does this stop? And unfortunately it doesn't,
not for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
The administration says, sorry, nothing we can do. The US
Justice Department told an appeals court on Saturday that a
judge didn't have the authority to order the Trump administration
to bring back the guy from Maryland who was mistakenly
sent to a prison in El Salvador during an ice raid.
(22:51):
Twenty nine year old Abrego Garcia was arrested in Maryland
deported last month, despite an immigration judge's ruling in twenty
nineteen to protect him from deportation to L Salvador because
they said, you might be MS thirteen, you might have
ties to that, but you also are likely in at
risk if you go back there because of local games.
(23:13):
But now Trump says, oh, we don't have the authority.
We can't bring him back. There's nothing we can do.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Well.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
He's saying the judge doesn't have the authority.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
He's saying the Trump administration can't bring him back.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Judge can't order it, right, they can't do it well.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The point, the legal point is is that the judge,
just part of the judiciary, can't get in the way
of their rulings or determinations what they're going to do
when it comes to foreign policy.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And they admitted they made a mistake. By the way.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Trump administration said, oh yeah, we blew it. Okay, let's
move on.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
It's does the guy have ties or no?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Trump administration says yes, and the.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Judge said back in twenty nineteen, you might you might have.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
But they're saying because.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
He requested asylum, and the judge basically said, we're going
to grant you.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
There's two separate issues here, and they're not mutually exclusive. One,
he could be a member of MS thirteen, and two
he was able to prove to an immigration judge that
if he were to be sent back, his life would
be at huge risk. That's one of the basis for asylum.
That if you send me back or if I'm going back,
(24:27):
I'm going to die, or my family's going to die,
or I'm going.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
To be persecuted, prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I have no idea what's going to happen, But it
doesn't even matter because I think and that's another topic
we're going to talk about. The administration now taking powers
that no administration ever has, arguing for executive powers like
it's never happened before, and Congress is jumping all over
itself to give this president unbridled powers that well, no
(24:59):
other president has ever had. And so we'll see how
far that goes.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
The International Criminal Court sent a request to the Hungarian
government to arrest and surrender Prime Minister Benjamin Net Yahoo
to its detention center in the Hague due to the
arrest warn't issued against him by the court last year.
It's said that Prime Minister net and Yahoo went out
(25:25):
and bought boots so he could shaken them.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The International Criminal Court is kind of interesting, you know,
the United States is not a member of it, refuses
to be never signed signed on. Why Because the International
Criminal Court has nailed the US and US presidents for
war crimes since the day it was created and they
are now naming netsan Yahoo. But it's they're not going
to arrest anybody. Matter of fact, Hungary is now bailing
out saying, you know, we're not interested. Very political, very
(25:56):
very political to say the least.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Well, we wiggled and waggled our way to three hundred
and fifty eight thousand dollars for Pasadena Humane. The Big
Wiggle Waggle Walk and Run was held yesterday at the
Rose Bowl. We had the wake up called Wigglers. Our
team beat its goal. We had like fifty people sign
up and come and walk and Bill. We had several
people ask how you're doing, if you're happy and when
(26:22):
are you coming back today?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Sorta I'll tell you later on the happy level. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Anyway, it was a great day for Wiggle Waggle Walk.
Thanks to everybody who donated, so so appreciated. We had
over two thousand people and their pets out there walking
yes day.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
That's cool, Yes, that's serious.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Pasadena Humane's biggest fundraiser of the year.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right And I always asked the same question, were there
any cadaver dogs they're demonstrating, And of course cadaver dogs.
They just grab a dog on a leash. It's dead
and you just drag it along and there's your cadaver dog.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
No, but there were some dogs that were kind of
being drug along. It was really funny to watch.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Alright, well, I think we have one more Neil all right.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
US Health in Cuban Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior
visited the epicenter of the Texas measles outbreak that's still growing. Sadly,
it was the same day a funeral was held for
a second young child who was not vaccinated and died
from a measles related illness.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, A couple of things about this one court Robert Kennedy,
of all the people who are going to solace a
family who lost a kid because of measles, mister anti vaccine,
although he's been pushing back from that. And the reason
Texas is such an epicenter is because there's the Mennonite
community there in Texas that do not vaccinate their kids.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
These are not anti vaxers per se.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It's simply the Mennonite community that's not interested in getting.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Involved in with modern society.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Now, Robert Kennedy, I mean, come on, guys, and I
think what was this quote I think he said. And
you know, in terms of measles, will at least your
kids are going to be able to go to Halloween
parties as pepperoni pizzas.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
All right, we are done?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Why Neil seeing this?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Wow? You know the spots on there?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
No, No, we got it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
No, yeah, I think you got it right.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yeah, we just haven't had it for a while. Okay,
like the measles itself.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, you thought it had been eradicated, right.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yeah, I thought you'd been eradicated. We had hope.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, Nope, comes back like a bad virus, comes back
like the measles.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
This is KFI A M sixty. You've been listening to
the Bill Handle Show. Catch my show Monday through Friday,
six am to nine am, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to KPI AM six forty the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
And now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle. Okay, where was I?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
As I was saying last time we spoke, I had
just gone around the corner and they're right in the
middle of the street. Don't you remember that conversation? Morning, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Fall back.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
And with a cliffhanger, yeah, I know, I know, and
we'll be back right after this, So you know, here
I am. It'll take me exactly, I don't know, another
forty seconds before it's as if I've never been gone.
You ever noticed that you go on vacation and you anticipate,
anticipate over my oh boy, it's gonna happen fine here,
and then when you get back ten seconds into it,
(01:05):
it's as if you've.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Never been gone.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Was this your longest vacation?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
No, no, no, I've taken longer ones.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
This was This was three weeks.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It was almost three weeks, not quite three weeks. But
then I also got married in the middle of this thing.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
So I mean, was it a vacation, I guess, so
it was a vacation. Slash marriage, slash honeymoon slash get
out of dodge.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
It took me a while to convince you that honeymoon
doesn't mean dropping trow.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
That's a good point. That's a good point. We had
a lot of talk about.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
First of all, let me say hello to everyone who
I've been working with so many years.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Amy, Good morning, Hi Bill, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So the wiggle waggle Google bugle walk went okay.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
It went happy looks Yeah, it was great. It was great.
Lots and lots of people turned out. A ton of
people joined the wake up called Wigglers. We raised lots
of money and it was it was a good time.
You should put your dog out next year.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well my dog was in doggy training.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Maybe I will, you know, because now it's uh yeah, yeah,
I think I will.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I did give money, didn't I did? I donate? I
think I did.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
I don't think you did.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh oh, don't do that to me. If you think,
let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
If you think you're going to shame me into giving
money that I have already given, boy, you're paying that
one back.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
I don't think you did.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think I did.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I always just I thank everybody who donated and I'll.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Look at it.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I didn't see your name.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Anybody bring a dead dog? No, you know that. Just
a quick story about that i'd share with you.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
We used to have Rich Marauda on the show. I
think this is before you even came aboard. Rich was
a sports guy for many, many years here on the
morning show. He was with us for twenty something years. Anyway,
he had a dog, Henry, this little puff.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Ball of a dog.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
You know those little, tiny, puffy white dogs that looked
like a gay guy's carpet slippers, you know those and
the Anyway, he loved that dog. I mean, he loved
just beyondwards. And so when Henry died, he was so distraught.
I mean he could barely move. I mean there's no
question how upset Rich was. So I called him up
(03:28):
a few weeks later, and this was off the air,
and I was talking to him and I said, so,
how's it going. And he had to excuse himself. He goes, Bill,
excuse me, it's time for my walk with Henry. And
I'm thinking, wait a minute. Henry died a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And to give you an idea how sick Rich was
or is, Rich would take the box.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That Henry's ashes were in, and he would walk around
the golf course with it. Because he lived up in Reno,
still does. He took Henry out for a walk every day.
I thought i'd share that with you in any case.
You yeah, good, good morning, Neil, Good morning, Willie Wolf,
(04:17):
thank you. And Neil was there at the wedding. I'm
going to talk about that in the moment. By the way,
I'm going to be bringing my new bride. She's going
to say, come on at eight o'clock, say hello. I
thought introduce her and she can say hello, and you
too can also appreciate how nut she is. And Neil
was there as my best man.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Ann good morning, good morning, Bill, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Oh, thank you, good morning, good morning, good morning. Will
are you there?
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Will is not here today?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (04:51):
Now you know what he's flying over an arena in
San Antonio today?
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Why because he is.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
He has a side hustle, and one of the things
he does is he goes around the country and you
know those aerial views of like football games and basketball
arenas and stuff. He's up there flying around recording those.
Oh or no, not even recording him, but they do
live shots of him.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
And they have no idea.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
And the only reason I ask if if Will is
even there or not, because Will I'm at home broadcasting
this morning, and I'm watching everybody on Zoom, viewing everybody on Zoom,
and he sometimes he's on, sometimes he's not.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Okay, person on your morning show, by the way, that
doesn't have a second job except.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You, Uh well, I have plenty of second jobs. Come on,
how about this. How about Handle on the Law second job?
How about Handle on the law dot com second job?
How about being involved with Zelman's second job. How about
the import business with Platinum cookwear, with Savile second job.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Those aren't real jobs.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
That's really people jobs where you just give money and
and you just say someone else run it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
We do. We do poor people jobs, huh, where we
have to be there.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
No, I have okay, fair enough anyway, I just want
to do a quick I want to tell you a
quick story before we go on, and we talk more
with Lindsay coming to board at eight o'clock. And then
there's video of the wedding out there. It's going to
at Bill Handle show. It's really some fun stuff. It
was Oh my god, it was a handle ass wedding.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
It really was.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Job does not cover it?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, great, great fund. So you can go to the website,
or you can go to the you can log and
the instagram at bill handle show. Now a couple of
things about the medical world out there, all right, you
know how I bitch and moan about the American medical
system and how our entire medical system is broken.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
So Lindsay got pretty ill.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
She is, she's asthmatic, and she had and tack and
needed to go to the er, and so like this
is in Palermo, Sicily. By the way, if you ever
have a chance to go to Sicily, don't. It's not
the most fun place. It's not very clean, it's old,
it's poor. They don't know, they don't know how a
(07:17):
road works without potholes, and they've never understood that in
any case. So we go to the er because she
had to be treated with this nebulizer, you know, the
breathing apperatics oxygen with medicine in it that coats her
lungs and expands her lungs. So we go to the
er and it is a thirty second wait, thirty seconds,
(07:40):
walk in the door, immediately put her in the triage
areas what they call the the emergency room and the
blood pressure they run an IV. Now, the hospital is old,
the equipment is world class.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
It's as good as it yets.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And they give the treatment to her, and she was
all stuck up, and the doctor said, you need an NT,
you need a specialist, and usually you have to wait
for hours. She goes, takes the elevator upstairs. There's the
NT waiting for her. They put the scope in her face,
looks around. Uh huh, that's what you have, writes a
(08:17):
prescription for a pile of medication. I go to the
drug store. I pick it up in out drug store.
All of that about an hour and fifteen. And then
on the way out, I say, okay, so where do
I pay? And they looked at me like I was
from another planet. They go, what do you mean where
do you pay?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You don't pay?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
You know, this is free medicine, this is national medicine.
I said, but you don't understand. I don't live here.
I'm aturrest, so of course I'm going to pay. They go,
we don't have a mechanism for you to pay. We
can't collect money if we wanted to. There is no
mechanism this is national medicine, nationalized medicine. I went, okay,
(08:58):
and everybody bitches him is how terrible it is over there.
I gotta tell you, you know, I know people think it's
not so great, but I was pretty impressed.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I was.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
She got sick, pretty pretty.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
She did get sick. A lot of people got a
lot of sick. Yeah, well that's a given. But a
lot of people got sick. You got sick, Tracy got sick.
Jim Keeney got sick.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
At the end I talk, yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
A lot of people were sick. All right, guys, let's
go ye uh yeah. I know you just got married.
But my lemonlaw Lawyer dot com. If she's still sick,
my lemonlaw Lawyer dot com, you might have gotten a dud.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Huh. Let me think that one through.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Okay, it's very she keeps if you got to keep
taking her back and forth.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I know, I get it. No, I got no, I
got it.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I'm just trying to figure out and realize how clever
that was.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
And I'm super clever.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, I'm reaching for that one.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I've forgotten how clever I am.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, handle here on a Monday morning, it is
the seventh day of April. Okay, before I get into
what's going on with the market, and we're expecting the
markets to explode today again downwards, coming off of going
to Europe Italy where I just got married. As you're
(10:17):
gonna be introduced to Lindsay coming up at eight o'clock,
I'm gonna have her say hello to us. And she
is pretty liberal. I mean, she is pretty out there liberal,
and so obviously she's not a huge fan of what's
going on in this country. But it's really interesting as
we went through Italy and people would ask, oh, are
(10:37):
you American?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And what her response was.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Lindsay's response was, instead of saying yeah, and then the
conversation goes, where are you from Los Angeles and on
and on, she started with.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I didn't vote for him. I want you to know
right now, I didn't vote for him.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
And so that started the conversation. And here was the
response that we got back. And this is not a
value judgment, because I'm going to talk a little bit
about the markets obviously in the next few minutes and
what's going on, and it's not nearly as black and.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
White as people portray this on either side, but I
will tell you.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
What I experienced over there is people don't get it.
They do not understand what is going on here. They
just don't understand Donald Trump, and they don't understand who
he is.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well, I think they do for the most part. I mean,
he's pretty transparent.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
But they don't understand what we are about bringing him
to office. They get none of the nuances as to
why he was able to connect in many ways the
Republicans the Democrats were not, how the Democrats missed the boat,
how our philosophy is, how the DEI and the political
correctness was overdone by the Democrats, on and on.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
They miss all of that.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
All they know is.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We don't understand what you guys are doing. We don't
understand him, what is happening. They are flummixed about this.
So let me then dive into what is going to
happen today, and it's going to be happening, and then
I'm going to give you a little bit of history here,
because I think we have to take all of this
in historical context. We know that Donald Trump's primary reason
(12:32):
for these tariffs is simple fairness reciprocity. When he says,
the other countries of the world make it very difficult
for US to sell products in their countries, and we
make it very easy for them to sell products in
our countries. And that's done by way of tariffs. That's
absolutely true. We sell far less into Canada.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
For example, than they sell to us.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
They make it more difficult for us to sell there
than we do for them to sell here.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
That's a given.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And what Trump is saying is this is simply a
question of fairness. That's a little more complicated than that, obviously,
but it's a basic reciprocity.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It's that simple. It's very biblical.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Do onto others as you would wish they would do
onto you.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Okay, you charge.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Us twenty four percent tariffs, We're going to charge you
twenty four percent tariffs.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You're going to make it difficult. We're going to make
it difficult.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The problem is the United States is such a huge juggernaut.
It buys so much from the industrialized world, even the
non industrialized world.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Actually, relatively speaking, it's even.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
More important to the undeveloped countries that for this to happen,
royals the markets, and it has.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And it does.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
We are looking at once again. If it pans out today,
there'll be another huge sell off today, there will be
another major decrease of the stock market.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
We think it's happened already.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Overseas in Asia, the stock markets have just tanked. You've
got Japan I went down like eight nine percent, Hong Kong,
just all of the indexes. You've got Europe that's been
affected deeply. I mean, this is a roller coaster ride
in a way. I think what it does is augment
(14:35):
the argument that the United States really is.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
The economic juggernaut, is the it is the.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Not only just the movement, it is the engine of
the economic world. And man, I've heard you've heard the
phrase that when a president sneezes, the world catches a cold.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oh man, does this prove the point?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And so what I want to do is come back
a little bit and try to dive into this because
in a major basic way, is Trump right in all fairness?
Probably his position is, Hey, you know what, let's make
it an open system.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Let's be fair. Are tariffs and is the system now fair?
It is not.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
It really isn't go to China and try to buy
a Buick. Try to buy a Ford in China. Go
to Europe. You don't see American cars there. See lots
of Japanese cars. You see French cars, of course, you
see German cars, you see Italian cars, and they slide
(15:45):
right off the road for some reason that you just
can't stay on the road. I never understood why. All right,
we're going to come back, and I'm going to go.
Thank you for laughing, Kno, no one else does in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
All right, where did I come back?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Rees joke or something completely one hundred percent?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I drove a hoogo and really.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
A poogo, and then we got we're gonna talk about
measles coming up too. Oh there's a story too about
the measles. It's got a lot to cover today, for sure,
and we're right back in the saddle.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh by the way, Neil, thank you for filling in.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I know you filled in for a week, and I'm
getting the reports that it was that you did an
extraordinarily mediocre job, and I'm very pleased to have that.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I focus on hitting low with the hopes of hitting medium.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Actually, people's response was fantastic.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
They were very lovely people who could hear yeah, oh yeah, okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Handle on the news with Amy Neil me lead story.
It is free falling over the weekend yesterday in Asia
the stock markets.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
The index is just tanked right now.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The market opened up eight minutes ago and it is down.
The market is down another almost four percent at this point,
thirteen hundred points.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Oh, it's up to fourteen hundred fourteen points.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Now fourteen hundred points now going down and we'll.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
See this this is beyond correction.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
They think. We don't know at this point. We'll see
if there's going to be a reverse.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Even when the big crash happened, the Great Depression started,
there was Black Tuesday, and then it came back again
a day later, two days later, went up and then
it tanked. So even within those so we'll see if
this goes up again or this is just an initial call.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think it's not.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But a lot of it has to do with the tariffs,
which obviously I'm going to talk about a whole lot
more about what's happening because it's not that complicated.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But let's move on. There's other news.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Forget about me too. Now there's hands off. Almost ten
thousand protesters showed up at Pershing Square over the week,
a marching through the streets of downtown LA.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
The crowd stretched across several blocks.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
It was part of nationwide hands off protests against the
Trump administration's cuts in federal programs, mass layoffs, and terrifikes
that have, as Bill just mentioned, sent financial markets reeling.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, which is going on right now to say the least,
All right, while things dive on Wall Street rivers rise,
rivers are rising and flooding worsening just yesterday across the
US South and Midwest, threatening communities that have already been
(18:41):
smacked around and damaged by days and days of heavy rain. Also,
the wind killed at least eighteen people. The river's depths
have risen above forty seven feet in some areas, and
they expect to continue to go up.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
How many once in a generation, once in a lifetime,
once every thousand year.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Storms have we had the last year.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Twenty?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, precisely. It's getting built dark. Yeah, I know it's
getting really tough. It is getting very very tough with
the climate change.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, I know, it doesn't exist. It's gonna be a
tough place to live this world.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You know, I do not envy my kids or my
grandkids in terms of what's going to happen with the weather.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
College kids kicked out so UCLA's chancellor, Julio Frank, said
yesterday that six current students and six former students who
are participating in a training program have had their visas
terminated by the US government. UCLA is saying the termination
notices indicate that all were due to violations of the
(19:53):
terms of the individual's visa programs. President Trump did issue
an executive order in January three to revoke visas of
students who participated in pro Palestinian protests last spring. UCLA
was the site of some of those demonstrations. Across the country,
three hundred student visas have been terminated.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah, now these are.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
The small numbers, and we're talking about maybe what half
a dozen that happened over the weekend or a dozen.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
It's a few dozen around California, Like, yeah, it's twelve Ucla,
but then also some at Stanford and Berkeley.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, so we're talking small numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
But the important part is is that the schools have
no idea why the government is sharing the reason why.
It's just simply saying there was violation of the terms
of their staying here, and it's just an ongoing philosophy.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Also, keep in mind.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
That anybody who is pro Palestinian and I put that
in quotes or backs up hamas you would think. Hey,
first amendment, I mean, you have the right to talk
about who you're a four or who you're against all
day long. Well not if the government has declared a
certain organization as they a terrorist organization, and therefore backing
(21:04):
up that terrorist organization you are threat to national security.
I mean this has gone pretty far, to say the least.
Tell me this isn't going to be a court battle
or two by the time this is over all. Right,
let's do one more and then we will take a
break and then finish it up.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Israel, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Israel's military has backtracked on its account of the killing
of fifteen Palestinian medics in Gaza last month. There was
footage that contradicted their claims that their vehicles did not
have emergency signals on with Israeli troops open fire. Now
there is video that shows that the contrary. They say
(21:44):
that their account was mistaken.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah, mistaken. Israel said, we're investigating.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And have you ever heard an outcome of any of
these investigations.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I haven't.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
We're going to do more about this at eight twenty
and it is. It's got the point now where there
is a rush to infamy by Hamas and or Netanyahu.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
We'll see you crosses that finish line. First. Both are
now way.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Into crimes against humanity and it is very, very tough
to deal with it. There are no good or bad
guys anymore. Even as biased as I am on this,
you reach your point. As Neil just pointed out, Come on, guys.
You know where does this stop? And unfortunately it doesn't,
not for the foreseeable future.
Speaker 6 (22:30):
The administration says, sorry, nothing we can do. The US
Justice Department told an appeals court on Saturday that a
judge didn't have the authority to order the Trump administration
to bring back the guy from Maryland who was mistakenly
sent to a prison in El Salvador during an ice raid.
(22:51):
Twenty nine year old Abrego Garcia was arrested in Maryland
deported last month, despite an immigration judge's ruling in twenty
nineteen to protect him from deportation to L Salvador because
they said, you might be MS thirteen, you might have
ties to that, but you also are likely in at
risk if you go back there because of local games.
(23:13):
But now Trump says, oh, we don't have the authority.
We can't bring him back. There's nothing we can do.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Well.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
He's saying the judge doesn't have the authority.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
He's saying the Trump administration can't bring him back.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Judge can't order it, right, they can't do it well.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
The point, the legal point is is that the judge,
just part of the judiciary, can't get in the way
of their rulings or determinations what they're going to do
when it comes to foreign policy.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
And they admitted they made a mistake. By the way.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Trump administration said, oh yeah, we blew it. Okay, let's
move on.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
It's does the guy have ties or no?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Trump administration says yes, and the.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Judge said back in twenty nineteen, you might you might have.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
But they're saying because.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
He requested asylum, and the judge basically said, we're going
to grant you.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
There's two separate issues here, and they're not mutually exclusive. One,
he could be a member of MS thirteen, and two
he was able to prove to an immigration judge that
if he were to be sent back, his life would
be at huge risk. That's one of the basis for asylum.
That if you send me back or if I'm going back,
(24:27):
I'm going to die, or my family's going to die,
or I'm going.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
To be persecuted, prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I have no idea what's going to happen, But it
doesn't even matter because I think and that's another topic
we're going to talk about. The administration now taking powers
that no administration ever has, arguing for executive powers like
it's never happened before, and Congress is jumping all over
itself to give this president unbridled powers that well, no
(24:59):
other president has ever had. And so we'll see how
far that goes.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
The International Criminal Court sent a request to the Hungarian
government to arrest and surrender Prime Minister Benjamin Net Yahoo
to its detention center in the Hague due to the
arrest warn't issued against him by the court last year.
It's said that Prime Minister net and Yahoo went out
(25:25):
and bought boots so he could shaken them.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
The International Criminal Court is kind of interesting, you know,
the United States is not a member of it, refuses
to be never signed signed on. Why Because the International
Criminal Court has nailed the US and US presidents for
war crimes since the day it was created and they
are now naming netsan Yahoo. But it's they're not going
to arrest anybody. Matter of fact, Hungary is now bailing
out saying, you know, we're not interested. Very political, very
(25:56):
very political to say the least.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
Well, we wiggled and waggled our way to three hundred
and fifty eight thousand dollars for Pasadena Humane. The Big
Wiggle Waggle Walk and Run was held yesterday at the
Rose Bowl. We had the wake up called Wigglers. Our
team beat its goal. We had like fifty people sign
up and come and walk and Bill. We had several
people ask how you're doing, if you're happy and when
(26:22):
are you coming back today?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Sorta I'll tell you later on the happy level. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Anyway, it was a great day for Wiggle Waggle Walk.
Thanks to everybody who donated, so so appreciated. We had
over two thousand people and their pets out there walking
yes day.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
That's cool, Yes, that's serious.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Pasadena Humane's biggest fundraiser of the year.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right And I always asked the same question, were there
any cadaver dogs they're demonstrating, And of course cadaver dogs.
They just grab a dog on a leash. It's dead
and you just drag it along and there's your cadaver dog.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
No, but there were some dogs that were kind of
being drug along. It was really funny to watch.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Alright, well, I think we have one more Neil all right.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
US Health in Cuban Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior
visited the epicenter of the Texas measles outbreak that's still growing. Sadly,
it was the same day a funeral was held for
a second young child who was not vaccinated and died
from a measles related illness.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, A couple of things about this one court Robert Kennedy,
of all the people who are going to solace a
family who lost a kid because of measles, mister anti vaccine,
although he's been pushing back from that. And the reason
Texas is such an epicenter is because there's the Mennonite
community there in Texas that do not vaccinate their kids.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
These are not anti vaxers per se.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It's simply the Mennonite community that's not interested in getting.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Involved in with modern society.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Now, Robert Kennedy, I mean, come on, guys, and I
think what was this quote I think he said. And
you know, in terms of measles, will at least your
kids are going to be able to go to Halloween
parties as pepperoni pizzas.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
All right, we are done?
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Why Neil seeing this?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Wow? You know the spots on there?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
No, No, we got it.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
No, yeah, I think you got it right.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yeah, we just haven't had it for a while. Okay,
like the measles itself.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, you thought it had been eradicated, right.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Yeah, I thought you'd been eradicated. We had hope.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, Nope, comes back like a bad virus, comes back
like the measles.
