Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
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 right off the road.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
For some reason, they you just can't stay on the road.
I never understood why.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Here's Bill Handle, Good morning everybody, Bill Handle and the
morning crew. It is a Tuesday morning Taco Tuesday, April eighth.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
By the way, that promo where I had mentioned the
Italian cars, let me get new here the Italian cars
slip off the road, and then Neil said, was at
a joke about oily car? Yep, it certainly was all right,
good morning to everyone. By the way, how long did
that take for me to go back into depraved, racist,
(01:02):
unbelievablely crude morning talk.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Twenty two seconds?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That is absolutely correct. Good morning, Amy, good morning Bill
and the lovely Neil, Good morning, Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Good morning racist, thank you, and good.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Morning good morning. And there's codo.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I can't see you, kno, but I can certainly heart party.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
But me oh Yeah, it's not you this time. Bill.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Oh, there you go, there you go. Hello and Will
And I don't see Will. Is he running around?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
No, he'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, he's out making some real money as opposed to
working here at iHeart. Okay, I want to start before
we get into what's going on today, and of course
a full day because news cycles are now twenty four
to seven. Yesterday we talked about Jay North, Dennis Amenas
dying and j North.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I remember as a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Watch Jing Dennis the Menace religiously, and Jane North got
his start.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I'm reading his obituary. And he got his start. He
became to Los Angeles, born in LA.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And there was a local television show called Engineer Bill.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And I remember that.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Because I would watch it after school every day and
they would have kids come on and sort of in
the audience, but be part of the stick that was
Engineer Bill. And he'd wear a hat and he had
a little train, the train hat and the whistle and
all of that. Anyway, so Jane North out of that,
parlayed that into and his mom pushed him into a
(02:37):
career as a child actor. And you know how you
have memories come back. And I haven't thought about this
literally in probably fifty years, and it just came back
to me. There was also an afternoon show, Bozo the Clown.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
If you remember Boso.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
There was a Boso in every single town and Boso
the Clown and we're talking back, and I was six
eight years old, right, we Bozo the Clown. Every afternoon
there was a kids show. People would go to the
studio kids and they would do that version of stupid
pet tricks, you know, kids whose dogs would roll over
and you know, and that was all yeah, yeah, yeah, great,
and you'd get some kind of little prize and you
(03:17):
would and the parents would ride into the show and say,
my kid's pet does insert name of whatever stupid trick
and okay, producers would go, come on to the show
and you do your thing. So I had a little
cat named Sunset. I haven't remember this in decades, and
(03:37):
she was just a little kitten, and we also had
a dog, and kids, being kids, I would put the
the I would put Sunset on my dog's back. I
just got bored of taking a magnifying glass and put
and lighting ants on fire, you know, during hot summer days, which,
by the way, I didn't do, and so I put
little Sunset on the dog's back and the dog would
(03:58):
run around and Sunset, who was scared to death, right,
we just grab on the dog as the dog went
running around. I mean, okay, great, We're gonna go on
Bozo the Clown because I've got a cat that runs
around rides a dog. Called the producers and the producer said, yeah,
that sounds good. So probably two weeks before Sunset and
(04:23):
my dog, I forget the dog's name, we're going to
be on the show.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I couldn't sleep.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I was so excited about going on Bozo the Clown
and showing.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
My dog, and I was excited, excited. I couldn't stand it.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And my parents are gonna take me down after school's
a live show. Woke up the morning that we're gonna
go down, went into the other room and there is Sunset, dead,
splayed out on the floor. I was in therapy for
thirty years over that one. By the way, I'm not
making that story up.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
This actually happened. Well I don't know, I don't even remember,
but it was.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It was a dead cat, you know right there, you know,
just splayed out.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You couldn't tie it. To the back of the dog.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
That would have been great. I wish I had thought
of that, Neil.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Those were the days before, well before we became Neil
and Bill.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Don't put me in there. I can see. It's kind
of the making of a villain. That's your origin story.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So anyway, that so, reading the bio of Jay North
did that to me. All right, guys, are see all.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
These little anecdotes, these little stories.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's what happens when you do a show like this
and memories come flooding back.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
All right, guys, you ready to do it? Traumatized? Still
traumatized by that?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
All right, It's time for handle on the news with
Neil and Amy and me leave. Sorry, Well, we're looking
at tariff wars, that's for sure. China is calling Trump's
new tariff threat a mistake upon a mistake, and this
(06:04):
is a gamble on Trump's part, and he's right in
the sense that we are at the opposite end of
these various wars that we have in terms of tariffs.
We get tariffed more so than any of their country
in terms of a selling products and services to them,
(06:25):
and it is unfair. Now, it's a lot more complicated
than that, other companies are caving like Cracy. Other countries
are caving, saying okay, let's sit down and talk. China
Holding firm just said no, thank you, and we're going
to go to war, and they're going to go to war.
We're going to go to war with China and it's
going to be a mess.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And we'll see.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's a big gamble that Trump is taking. And if
he's right, it's going to change. Everything's gonna be much
more fair. Our economy will be better for it. If
he's wrong, we're diving into a recession.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And say one thing, Trump's got balls.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
This man has balls, yes, but they're made in America.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
They are made in America.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's correct, So they're but they're very expensive to sell
because the other countries have tariffs.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
The thing is, how do you get China to blink
everyone else? I think they're going to come to the
table sooner or later. I just don't know how you
do it with China.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't know if you do, because China, first of all,
is obviously in autocracy in the sense that the Communist
Party controls it one and whatever the president says goes.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Do they need us?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
And we need them, so that's yeah, maybe that's gonna
eventually bring them to the table. I'm optimistic.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I No, I don't think so, because you've got Trump.
He's got three and a half years left and he's
done unless he gets a lifetime at appointment, of course,
and Congress says, we now have a lifetime president and
we change the constitution. But Jinping yin ding On I
always really screw up. Yeah, him too. You know, both
(08:09):
both those guys are you know, they don't report to anybody.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
There's a pollop bureau there.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But I mean the guy's as close to a dictator
as you can get.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
He's not stupid. I like, like amy and optimistic. I
just the China one is a tough one.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Does they look like the nicest guy in the world.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Though, Jinping, Yeah, he totally does.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I know he You know, it's almost like you look
at sloths, right, the smile they have and they just, you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Know, they look so sweet.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
In the meantime, they have these claws that will rip
you to shreds slowly.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
But yeah, all right.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Well the charge is murder. A youth soccer coach has
now been charged with murdering a thirteen year old boy
from San Fernando. His body was found along a road
in Oxnard last week. Mar Garcia Akino was charged with
murder with special circumstances, which means that he could be
eligible for the death penalty. Law enforcement found the body
(09:10):
of the thirteen year old boy after he failed to
come home from a trip to Lancaster last week.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Okay, what a weird story.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Because family tried to call him, the coach picked up
the phone and said, the kid is busy and can't
come to the phone. This story is so weird that
I just I just don't get it.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
And it's also weird to me that a thirteen year
old was able to take a train on his own
to Lancaster. It's thirteen.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well that's today. You know, fifty years ago you could
no one bothered. You know these are all today have this.
This is helicopter parenting. Where when I was a kid
getting on a train going someplace else, no one would
think twice, staying at home by myself, no one would
think twice parents going away for a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
When I was eight and big deal.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
I used to take a train to Hollywood all the time. Yeah,
you know that shopping on Melrose.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
You know the BART system up in the Bay Area. Sure,
we used to live up in Walnut Creek and my
mom or my friend Stephanie's mom would literally take us
down to the train station when BART first opened and
say have a good day, and we go ride the
trains all day because it was so fun. Yeah, but
that was a different.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Time, different time, absolutely, different time, different world.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, and we always had friends with us.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
All right.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
The Supreme Court yesterday allowed President Donald Trump to enforce
the Alien Enemies Act for now, handing the White House
what is obviously a pretty major victory that will let
immigration officials rely on a sweeping wartime authority to rapidly
deport or any alleged gang members and the like.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, this has to do with does the President have
the right to invoke the Alien Enemies Act? And the
Court said, yeah, it's basically the president's call. It used
to be that quote, wars were only allowed to be
declared by Congress. You know when the last time Congress
actually got involved and declared a war pursuant to the
Constitution December eighth, nineteen forty, one.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Day after Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And there has never been a declaration of war since then, all.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
The wars we've been involved with.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It is the president's call, and it's the president's call
to say that person is an enemy alien and I'm
going to invoke that, and therefore I can do what
I can do, all of it under the Alien Enemies Act.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So the Korean War as well, I mean, I know.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
The police action. It wasn't the Congress did not vote
on it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, it was considered a police action, not a war,
not a declared war. It was a UN action, is
what it was. The United States was part of the UN.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
A good day to be a Gator? Cougar's not so much.
Florida has won its third national championship. Kno said it
was a nail bier last night. The Gators won at
sixty five sixty three after overcoming a twelve point second
half deficit and then making one final defensive stand where
they prevented Houston from getting a shot off before the
(12:34):
clock ran out.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
How many forty year old women with teenage boyfriends are upset?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What do you think right now in this country?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Cougar's Yeah, yeah, gotcha, thank you very much. Kono is
set up for this. He starts laughing immediately.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Boys, I got on.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I got that one quick, and Neil and I are
both h.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah. I was brought up in a time where jokes
were funny.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Thank you for that, Neil.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
No people, you know, people go, do you really does
Neil do that to you when you guys were just
together alone and you're not on the air constantly.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Oh yeah, we rid of each other though, that's what
that's what friends are for. Supreme Court declined Monday to
decide whether New York law requiring residents to have got
to love these descriptions in law right built good moral
character to carry a handgun, whether it's constitutional, leaving in
place most of the state's ban on carrying weapons in
(13:41):
sensitive places, so schools, parks, theaters and the like. You know,
who gets to define good moral character?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And you're right.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That's the problem is laws fail because of vagueness. That's
one of the rules of law that you cannot have
a law that is too vague and it just falls
on its face, just can't be enforced because it is.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Listen to the description bill, this makes sense. Having the
essential character, temperament, and judgment necessary to be entrusted with
a weapon and use it only in a matter that
does not endanger oneself or others.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It makes sense, But how do you yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Who makes that decision? And where is the line? I
guess they can invoke the reasonable man theory. I mean
judges are the law is and juries are always asked
to invoke what would a reasonable person do under these circumstances?
You can use that, but that is generally in a
criminal trial. When you're looking at that, this one is,
(14:44):
you know, what's good moral character. I'm surprised the court
upheld that one. I really am and this is ever good.
And by the way, this is in favor of gun control.
You know this is a pro gun control uh measure?
Oh RFKJ god, I love them.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Get ready for a lot of rotted out teeth. US
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has says that he
plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
to stop recommending floridation for communities around the country. In addition,
the EPA announced yesterday that it is reviewing new scientific
information on potential health risks of Florida and drinking water. Now,
(15:22):
Kennedy can't order communities to stop using fluoridation, but can
direct the CDC to stop recommending it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
This is insane.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
There was an issue about Florida putting fluoride in the
water when I.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Was a kid. We're talking in the fifties, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
There was huge discussion about this and it was controversy
to putting fluoridated water in the LA system, the LA
water supply system.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Right, we're going to put fluoride in there. No, you're not.
Why because it was a communist plot.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Seriously, that was the reason that people were against fluoridating
the water because con means we're trying to put fluoride
in the water.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay, what was the community is fluoride red?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
No, actually I don't even know what color fluoride is,
probably colorless. But the point is that was the reasoning
for that. It was crazy red baiting during the fifties.
Now we have Robert Kennedy and this is conspiracy theory, pseudoscience.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
By the way, fluoride has been around.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
For what fifty sixty years in our water system, and
it is proven it stops or helps with cavities with kids,
particularly poor kids that don't have great habits in terms
of oral hygiene.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
And now he's trying to unravel that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I mean, come on, guys, he has nuts, genuinely nuts.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I tend to agree with you to what end. I
don't understand this.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I don't get it. I don't get at.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Least a new vaccine.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
You could go, okay, well he's worried about its newness
or something. But this has been around forever I know,
And I feel like they're trying to make zero have
a zero issue society, and you're not gonna do that
with medicine.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, look at the measles vaccine that he turned around on.
This is just crazy. I mean, I don't have cavities
because well a lot of it. I have very few
because I drank fluoridated water. Matter of fact, look, no,
my cheef right there?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Can you see?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Beautiful?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There you go? You know you there? Oh yeah, there
they are right there. Huh.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
We all thought your teeth were would okay?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Well, said Chief Justice.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
John Roberts agreed Monday to pause a midnight deadlight for
the Trump administration to return a Maryland man mistakenly deported
to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Probably not a
good place to be, so the temporary order comes hours
after a Justice Department emerges. He appealed to the Supreme Court,
(18:01):
arguing US judge overstepped her authority when she ordered this
individual return to the United States.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I mean, think about this. This is a call.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Who decides who's going to be deported and who is
not to be deported. Justice Department, they make a decision.
They the State Department issues visas and passports, and it's
strictly an executive office function. Okay, fair enough. So guy
who was mistakenly deported and the government doesn't disagree that
(18:33):
he was mistakenly deported. The government said, yeah, we made
a mistake here, but it's not to the courts to
say he has to come back.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's our call.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Now the issue becomes does the Trump administration try to
get him back and just say, oops, we made a mistake.
Let's try to undo this mistake. Not really, because they
think he is a member of the MS gang MS
thirteen gang, and.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Therefore where's the mistake.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
The mistake was reporting him with he's a I understand,
but he was not here illegally.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I don't believe I. I think they tossed him.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
He was under an asylum, some kind of an asylum program.
I know it could be that at some point. I mean,
there was an investigation going on, because that's what happens.
When you walk in and he asks for asylum. The
legal process starts, and at the end of it they
can say no and kick you out. But you're here
legally and you and you have the right to have
all of these protections.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
But it's the government. It makes that call.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And they're saying that the courts it's not up to
the court. And what Chief Justice Roberts said is that's
absolutely correct. It's not the government's call. Trump administration wants
to bring him back, let him try. They're not even
trying that. You said, Oops, that's that's a problems.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
He's on one of the balconies at the warehouse coming Yeah,
we tried.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, you don't. You don't want to be on the
wrong side of a white house. Oops. During this administration,
party own people.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Lawmakers in California are looking to pass legislation that would
extend last call for alcohol past two am. The goal,
according to lawmaker Matt Haney, who introduced this yesterday along
with some other lawmakers in LA said is to attract
tourism and boost the hospitality business in downtown areas that
(20:26):
have still been trying to recover since the pandemic. The
bill would set up hospitality zones, mainly in big cities
La San Francisco, and if they set up that zone,
they would be allowed to serve alcohol until four am
on Fridays, Saturdays and state holidays.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Amy, do you think that would help the tourism industry
bar staying open till four o'clock instead of two am? No.
I wish you'd be honest and just say, hey, I'm
representing a bunch of bar owners and they want to
make more money.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah. If it was Las Vegae, it would be different.
It's not Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's just I don't think it down.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
LA's problem is not yeah, farah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
And by the way, the argument is I have a
constitutional right to get drunk at three am, get in
my car and kill someone, and no one's going to
get in the way of that.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I can't believe that there hasn't been more pushback because
of exactly that.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
All Right, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass maybe you heard
of her. She named a new deputy mayor for public safety.
It's a former FBI official, Robert Clark, this is going
to be your top eight overseeing police and fire issues.
Oh boy, good timing. And this is four months after
Brian K. Williams, who was in that place it was
(21:46):
placed on administrative leave after being accused of making a
bomb thread against City Hall. You can't make this up.
By the way, Williams still on city payroll.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Hey, let me ask if Karen Bass were run today
for mayor, how do you think she'd do ye?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I don't think not well, I don't know. La is
pretty stupid.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, La is pretty stupid.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
And we get somebody who spends his own money on
making La better and the Southland better and didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Choose him and was a This is a successful businessman
who knows how to run a bureaucracy, who is not
a traditional politico and they ran on basically the same ticket.
There is no difference between the two of them. And
so what does La do. La elects someone who was
(22:40):
in the system before. Whether she was elected because of
her race because she was black, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Today. I don't know if that's an advantage or a disadvantage.
I have no idea, but the fact that she is.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
A traditional political operative not operative but political figure, and
she had the Democratic political machinery. And to your point,
you're absolutely right, La is La. Politics is politics, and
it doesn't matter who has credentials, who runs, who doesn't.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Cruso could live anywhere he wants, That's correct. He continues
to stay and support Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah, he's incredible, he is.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And we didn't vote for him.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Nope, Nope, we're stupid.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think a lot of it has to do with
he spent one hundred million dollars of his own money
because he could never he would never be able to
get any kind of support that she did. She is
deeply embedded in the Democratic machinery here in southern California,
in Los Angeles, and.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I hope she gets nailed. I hope she does.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
She did a horrible job with the business with the
fires and then try to worm her way out of
it as a post I.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Know she said, you know what, You're right. I blew it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Hey, guys, people make mistakes. I made a huge mistake here.
Now let's get to work and what can I do
to make this better? Oh no, no, I didn't do
anything wrong. No, No, it was just I mean, it
was just one excuse after another.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You may have to pay if you choose to buy now,
pay later. Here's why. If you buy a pair of
shoes or makeup and choose that option that pops up
now to ooh, split it up into four installments, it
could start showing up on your credit report. A firm
is one of the largest buy now, pay later lenders
and says that starting today, it's going to furnish all
(24:28):
new loans to the credit agencies, similar to how a
mortgage or a car loan shows up on your credit report.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I mean, think about this.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You can buy dozens of products on a buy now,
pay later and it doesn't show up that you owe
the money.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
It's not a question for saying you're a flake.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's a question of it is an outstanding loan that
doesn't show up.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
And to your point, that's absolutely correct.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
By the way, you misspoke, it's not not you make
four payments.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You make four easy payments.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Right right. I left out the easy I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Just for easy payments.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, yeah, here's your fifteen dollars purchase. Would you like
to split that into four payments.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I've done this for equipment before, you know, and there's
no interest Usually no interest in.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Payment because I pay it if you.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Pay it off ahead four, But if you don't pay
it off in four, then you get charged with the
interest on the back end.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh, I always pay it, and they backdate it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
They go all the way back to the time you
first started at eighty percent annual interest rate.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, you want to pay those off.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
All right?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
This is a sad story. You got a nine year
old Kentucky boy. He died in floodwaters, which is sad
on its own, but he was walking to catch a
school bus.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
And that the situation is.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Now they're asking why why was school not canceled because
they were having massive storms at the time.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, and that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Some someone screwed the pooch on this one, and there
was there's negligence here someplace, and it's unfortunately a cost
us little boy is life.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, and I don't know if it's you know, because
schools don't get paid if you don't the kids.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Well, it depends on the state. It depends on the state.
But still, either did the parents know? Was the weather
report was that specific saying it is that dangerous? Did
someone in the school system miss it? I'm going to
the school system. First, first thing, I go to the
school system, and then we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
That time to talk. President Trump made a kind of
surprise announcement yesterday said the US and Iran are going
to do direct talks about Tehran's nuclear program. Trump said
yesterday that the talks are going to start on Saturday,
and also issued issued a warning saying if the talks
(26:58):
are unsuccessful, Iran is going to be in great danger.
Now Tehran has or said that there will be talks,
but it's Foreign minister says the talks in Oman will
be indirect through mediators.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I don't know if you've ever been in a mediation,
but you're in different rooms and the mediator runs back
and forth with Hamas and Israel their negotiations through third parties,
and usually it's at a hotel. They're on different floors.
They won't even be on the same floor, in different rooms.
So indirect talks are I don't think they're nearly as
(27:36):
effective as looking someone in the eyeballs and talking, but
we're not close to that yet, not with Iran.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I don't know if we ever will be.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
All right, guys, I think we're done. This is KFI
Am sixty you've been.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Listening to the Bill handle Show.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Catch my Show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,

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 right off the road.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
For some reason, they you just can't stay on the road.
I never understood why.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Here's Bill Handle, Good morning everybody, Bill Handle and the
morning crew. It is a Tuesday morning Taco Tuesday, April eighth.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
By the way, that promo where I had mentioned the
Italian cars, let me get new here the Italian cars
slip off the road, and then Neil said, was at
a joke about oily car? Yep, it certainly was all right,
good morning to everyone. By the way, how long did
that take for me to go back into depraved, racist,
(01:02):
unbelievablely crude morning talk.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Twenty two seconds?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That is absolutely correct. Good morning, Amy, good morning Bill
and the lovely Neil, Good morning, Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Good morning racist, thank you, and good.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Morning good morning. And there's codo.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I can't see you, kno, but I can certainly heart party.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
But me oh Yeah, it's not you this time. Bill.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Oh, there you go, there you go. Hello and Will
And I don't see Will. Is he running around?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
No, he'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Okay, he's out making some real money as opposed to
working here at iHeart. Okay, I want to start before
we get into what's going on today, and of course
a full day because news cycles are now twenty four
to seven. Yesterday we talked about Jay North, Dennis Amenas
dying and j North.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I remember as a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Watch Jing Dennis the Menace religiously, and Jane North got
his start.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I'm reading his obituary. And he got his start. He
became to Los Angeles, born in LA.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And there was a local television show called Engineer Bill.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And I remember that.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Because I would watch it after school every day and
they would have kids come on and sort of in
the audience, but be part of the stick that was
Engineer Bill. And he'd wear a hat and he had
a little train, the train hat and the whistle and
all of that. Anyway, so Jane North out of that,
parlayed that into and his mom pushed him into a
(02:37):
career as a child actor. And you know how you
have memories come back. And I haven't thought about this
literally in probably fifty years, and it just came back
to me. There was also an afternoon show, Bozo the Clown.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
If you remember Boso.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
There was a Boso in every single town and Boso
the Clown and we're talking back, and I was six
eight years old, right, we Bozo the Clown. Every afternoon
there was a kids show. People would go to the
studio kids and they would do that version of stupid
pet tricks, you know, kids whose dogs would roll over
and you know, and that was all yeah, yeah, yeah, great,
and you'd get some kind of little prize and you
(03:17):
would and the parents would ride into the show and say,
my kid's pet does insert name of whatever stupid trick
and okay, producers would go, come on to the show
and you do your thing. So I had a little
cat named Sunset. I haven't remember this in decades, and
(03:37):
she was just a little kitten, and we also had
a dog, and kids, being kids, I would put the
the I would put Sunset on my dog's back. I
just got bored of taking a magnifying glass and put
and lighting ants on fire, you know, during hot summer days, which,
by the way, I didn't do, and so I put
little Sunset on the dog's back and the dog would
(03:58):
run around and Sunset, who was scared to death, right,
we just grab on the dog as the dog went
running around. I mean, okay, great, We're gonna go on
Bozo the Clown because I've got a cat that runs
around rides a dog. Called the producers and the producer said, yeah,
that sounds good. So probably two weeks before Sunset and
(04:23):
my dog, I forget the dog's name, we're going to
be on the show.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I couldn't sleep.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I was so excited about going on Bozo the Clown
and showing.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
My dog, and I was excited, excited. I couldn't stand it.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And my parents are gonna take me down after school's
a live show. Woke up the morning that we're gonna
go down, went into the other room and there is Sunset, dead,
splayed out on the floor. I was in therapy for
thirty years over that one. By the way, I'm not
making that story up.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
This actually happened. Well I don't know, I don't even remember,
but it was.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It was a dead cat, you know right there, you know,
just splayed out.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You couldn't tie it. To the back of the dog.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
That would have been great. I wish I had thought
of that, Neil.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Those were the days before, well before we became Neil
and Bill.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Don't put me in there. I can see. It's kind
of the making of a villain. That's your origin story.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So anyway, that so, reading the bio of Jay North
did that to me. All right, guys, are see all.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
These little anecdotes, these little stories.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's what happens when you do a show like this
and memories come flooding back.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
All right, guys, you ready to do it? Traumatized? Still
traumatized by that?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
All right, It's time for handle on the news with
Neil and Amy and me leave. Sorry, Well, we're looking
at tariff wars, that's for sure. China is calling Trump's
new tariff threat a mistake upon a mistake, and this
(06:04):
is a gamble on Trump's part, and he's right in
the sense that we are at the opposite end of
these various wars that we have in terms of tariffs.
We get tariffed more so than any of their country
in terms of a selling products and services to them,
(06:25):
and it is unfair. Now, it's a lot more complicated
than that, other companies are caving like Cracy. Other countries
are caving, saying okay, let's sit down and talk. China
Holding firm just said no, thank you, and we're going
to go to war, and they're going to go to war.
We're going to go to war with China and it's
going to be a mess.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And we'll see.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
It's a big gamble that Trump is taking. And if
he's right, it's going to change. Everything's gonna be much
more fair. Our economy will be better for it. If
he's wrong, we're diving into a recession.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
And say one thing, Trump's got balls.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
This man has balls, yes, but they're made in America.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
They are made in America.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's correct, So they're but they're very expensive to sell
because the other countries have tariffs.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
The thing is, how do you get China to blink
everyone else? I think they're going to come to the
table sooner or later. I just don't know how you
do it with China.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I don't know if you do, because China, first of all,
is obviously in autocracy in the sense that the Communist
Party controls it one and whatever the president says goes.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Do they need us?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
And we need them, so that's yeah, maybe that's gonna
eventually bring them to the table. I'm optimistic.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I No, I don't think so, because you've got Trump.
He's got three and a half years left and he's
done unless he gets a lifetime at appointment, of course,
and Congress says, we now have a lifetime president and
we change the constitution. But Jinping yin ding On I
always really screw up. Yeah, him too. You know, both
(08:09):
both those guys are you know, they don't report to anybody.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
There's a pollop bureau there.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But I mean the guy's as close to a dictator
as you can get.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
He's not stupid. I like, like amy and optimistic. I
just the China one is a tough one.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Does they look like the nicest guy in the world.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Though, Jinping, Yeah, he totally does.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I know he You know, it's almost like you look
at sloths, right, the smile they have and they just, you.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Know, they look so sweet.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
In the meantime, they have these claws that will rip
you to shreds slowly.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
But yeah, all right.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Well the charge is murder. A youth soccer coach has
now been charged with murdering a thirteen year old boy
from San Fernando. His body was found along a road
in Oxnard last week. Mar Garcia Akino was charged with
murder with special circumstances, which means that he could be
eligible for the death penalty. Law enforcement found the body
(09:10):
of the thirteen year old boy after he failed to
come home from a trip to Lancaster last week.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Okay, what a weird story.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Because family tried to call him, the coach picked up
the phone and said, the kid is busy and can't
come to the phone. This story is so weird that
I just I just don't get it.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
And it's also weird to me that a thirteen year
old was able to take a train on his own
to Lancaster. It's thirteen.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well that's today. You know, fifty years ago you could
no one bothered. You know these are all today have this.
This is helicopter parenting. Where when I was a kid
getting on a train going someplace else, no one would
think twice, staying at home by myself, no one would
think twice parents going away for a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
When I was eight and big deal.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
I used to take a train to Hollywood all the time. Yeah,
you know that shopping on Melrose.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
You know the BART system up in the Bay Area. Sure,
we used to live up in Walnut Creek and my
mom or my friend Stephanie's mom would literally take us
down to the train station when BART first opened and
say have a good day, and we go ride the
trains all day because it was so fun. Yeah, but
that was a different.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Time, different time, absolutely, different time, different world.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yeah, and we always had friends with us.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
All right.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
The Supreme Court yesterday allowed President Donald Trump to enforce
the Alien Enemies Act for now, handing the White House
what is obviously a pretty major victory that will let
immigration officials rely on a sweeping wartime authority to rapidly
deport or any alleged gang members and the like.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, this has to do with does the President have
the right to invoke the Alien Enemies Act? And the
Court said, yeah, it's basically the president's call. It used
to be that quote, wars were only allowed to be
declared by Congress. You know when the last time Congress
actually got involved and declared a war pursuant to the
Constitution December eighth, nineteen forty, one.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Day after Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And there has never been a declaration of war since then, all.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
The wars we've been involved with.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It is the president's call, and it's the president's call
to say that person is an enemy alien and I'm
going to invoke that, and therefore I can do what
I can do, all of it under the Alien Enemies Act.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So the Korean War as well, I mean, I know.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
The police action. It wasn't the Congress did not vote
on it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, it was considered a police action, not a war,
not a declared war. It was a UN action, is
what it was. The United States was part of the UN.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
A good day to be a Gator? Cougar's not so much.
Florida has won its third national championship. Kno said it
was a nail bier last night. The Gators won at
sixty five sixty three after overcoming a twelve point second
half deficit and then making one final defensive stand where
they prevented Houston from getting a shot off before the
(12:34):
clock ran out.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
How many forty year old women with teenage boyfriends are upset?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
What do you think right now in this country?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Where are you going?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Cougar's Yeah, yeah, gotcha, thank you very much. Kono is
set up for this. He starts laughing immediately.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Boys, I got on.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I got that one quick, and Neil and I are
both h.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah. I was brought up in a time where jokes
were funny.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Thank you for that, Neil.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
No people, you know, people go, do you really does
Neil do that to you when you guys were just
together alone and you're not on the air constantly.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Oh yeah, we rid of each other though, that's what
that's what friends are for. Supreme Court declined Monday to
decide whether New York law requiring residents to have got
to love these descriptions in law right built good moral
character to carry a handgun, whether it's constitutional, leaving in
place most of the state's ban on carrying weapons in
(13:41):
sensitive places, so schools, parks, theaters and the like. You know,
who gets to define good moral character?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And you're right.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
That's the problem is laws fail because of vagueness. That's
one of the rules of law that you cannot have
a law that is too vague and it just falls
on its face, just can't be enforced because it is.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Listen to the description bill, this makes sense. Having the
essential character, temperament, and judgment necessary to be entrusted with
a weapon and use it only in a matter that
does not endanger oneself or others.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
It makes sense, But how do you yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Who makes that decision? And where is the line? I
guess they can invoke the reasonable man theory. I mean
judges are the law is and juries are always asked
to invoke what would a reasonable person do under these circumstances?
You can use that, but that is generally in a
criminal trial. When you're looking at that, this one is,
(14:44):
you know, what's good moral character. I'm surprised the court
upheld that one. I really am and this is ever good.
And by the way, this is in favor of gun control.
You know this is a pro gun control uh measure?
Oh RFKJ god, I love them.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Get ready for a lot of rotted out teeth. US
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior has says that he
plans to tell the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
to stop recommending floridation for communities around the country. In addition,
the EPA announced yesterday that it is reviewing new scientific
information on potential health risks of Florida and drinking water. Now,
(15:22):
Kennedy can't order communities to stop using fluoridation, but can
direct the CDC to stop recommending it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
This is insane.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
There was an issue about Florida putting fluoride in the
water when I.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Was a kid. We're talking in the fifties, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
There was huge discussion about this and it was controversy
to putting fluoridated water in the LA system, the LA
water supply system.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Right, we're going to put fluoride in there. No, you're not.
Why because it was a communist plot.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Seriously, that was the reason that people were against fluoridating
the water because con means we're trying to put fluoride
in the water.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay, what was the community is fluoride red?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
No, actually I don't even know what color fluoride is,
probably colorless. But the point is that was the reasoning
for that. It was crazy red baiting during the fifties.
Now we have Robert Kennedy and this is conspiracy theory, pseudoscience.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
By the way, fluoride has been around.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
For what fifty sixty years in our water system, and
it is proven it stops or helps with cavities with kids,
particularly poor kids that don't have great habits in terms
of oral hygiene.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
And now he's trying to unravel that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
I mean, come on, guys, he has nuts, genuinely nuts.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I tend to agree with you to what end. I
don't understand this.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I don't get it. I don't get at.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Least a new vaccine.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
You could go, okay, well he's worried about its newness
or something. But this has been around forever I know,
And I feel like they're trying to make zero have
a zero issue society, and you're not gonna do that
with medicine.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, look at the measles vaccine that he turned around on.
This is just crazy. I mean, I don't have cavities
because well a lot of it. I have very few
because I drank fluoridated water. Matter of fact, look, no,
my cheef right there?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Can you see?
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Beautiful?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
There you go? You know you there? Oh yeah, there
they are right there. Huh.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
We all thought your teeth were would okay?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Well, said Chief Justice.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
John Roberts agreed Monday to pause a midnight deadlight for
the Trump administration to return a Maryland man mistakenly deported
to a notorious prison in El Salvador. Probably not a
good place to be, so the temporary order comes hours
after a Justice Department emerges. He appealed to the Supreme Court,
(18:01):
arguing US judge overstepped her authority when she ordered this
individual return to the United States.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I mean, think about this. This is a call.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Who decides who's going to be deported and who is
not to be deported. Justice Department, they make a decision.
They the State Department issues visas and passports, and it's
strictly an executive office function. Okay, fair enough. So guy
who was mistakenly deported and the government doesn't disagree that
(18:33):
he was mistakenly deported. The government said, yeah, we made
a mistake here, but it's not to the courts to
say he has to come back.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's our call.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Now the issue becomes does the Trump administration try to
get him back and just say, oops, we made a mistake.
Let's try to undo this mistake. Not really, because they
think he is a member of the MS gang MS
thirteen gang, and.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Therefore where's the mistake.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
The mistake was reporting him with he's a I understand,
but he was not here illegally.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I don't believe I. I think they tossed him.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
He was under an asylum, some kind of an asylum program.
I know it could be that at some point. I mean,
there was an investigation going on, because that's what happens.
When you walk in and he asks for asylum. The
legal process starts, and at the end of it they
can say no and kick you out. But you're here
legally and you and you have the right to have
all of these protections.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
But it's the government. It makes that call.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And they're saying that the courts it's not up to
the court. And what Chief Justice Roberts said is that's
absolutely correct. It's not the government's call. Trump administration wants
to bring him back, let him try. They're not even
trying that. You said, Oops, that's that's a problems.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
He's on one of the balconies at the warehouse coming Yeah,
we tried.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, you don't. You don't want to be on the
wrong side of a white house. Oops. During this administration,
party own people.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Lawmakers in California are looking to pass legislation that would
extend last call for alcohol past two am. The goal,
according to lawmaker Matt Haney, who introduced this yesterday along
with some other lawmakers in LA said is to attract
tourism and boost the hospitality business in downtown areas that
(20:26):
have still been trying to recover since the pandemic. The
bill would set up hospitality zones, mainly in big cities
La San Francisco, and if they set up that zone,
they would be allowed to serve alcohol until four am
on Fridays, Saturdays and state holidays.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Amy, do you think that would help the tourism industry
bar staying open till four o'clock instead of two am? No.
I wish you'd be honest and just say, hey, I'm
representing a bunch of bar owners and they want to
make more money.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Yeah. If it was Las Vegae, it would be different.
It's not Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
It's just I don't think it down.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
LA's problem is not yeah, farah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
And by the way, the argument is I have a
constitutional right to get drunk at three am, get in
my car and kill someone, and no one's going to
get in the way of that.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I can't believe that there hasn't been more pushback because
of exactly that.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
All Right, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass maybe you heard
of her. She named a new deputy mayor for public safety.
It's a former FBI official, Robert Clark, this is going
to be your top eight overseeing police and fire issues.
Oh boy, good timing. And this is four months after
Brian K. Williams, who was in that place it was
(21:46):
placed on administrative leave after being accused of making a
bomb thread against City Hall. You can't make this up.
By the way, Williams still on city payroll.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Hey, let me ask if Karen Bass were run today
for mayor, how do you think she'd do ye?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I don't think not well, I don't know. La is
pretty stupid.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, La is pretty stupid.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
And we get somebody who spends his own money on
making La better and the Southland better and didn't.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Choose him and was a This is a successful businessman
who knows how to run a bureaucracy, who is not
a traditional politico and they ran on basically the same ticket.
There is no difference between the two of them. And
so what does La do. La elects someone who was
(22:40):
in the system before. Whether she was elected because of
her race because she was black, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Today. I don't know if that's an advantage or a disadvantage.
I have no idea, but the fact that she is.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
A traditional political operative not operative but political figure, and
she had the Democratic political machinery. And to your point,
you're absolutely right, La is La. Politics is politics, and
it doesn't matter who has credentials, who runs, who doesn't.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Cruso could live anywhere he wants, That's correct. He continues
to stay and support Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah, he's incredible, he is.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And we didn't vote for him.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Nope, Nope, we're stupid.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think a lot of it has to do with
he spent one hundred million dollars of his own money
because he could never he would never be able to
get any kind of support that she did. She is
deeply embedded in the Democratic machinery here in southern California,
in Los Angeles, and.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I hope she gets nailed. I hope she does.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
She did a horrible job with the business with the
fires and then try to worm her way out of
it as a post I.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Know she said, you know what, You're right. I blew it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Hey, guys, people make mistakes. I made a huge mistake here.
Now let's get to work and what can I do
to make this better? Oh no, no, I didn't do
anything wrong. No, No, it was just I mean, it
was just one excuse after another.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
You may have to pay if you choose to buy now,
pay later. Here's why. If you buy a pair of
shoes or makeup and choose that option that pops up
now to ooh, split it up into four installments, it
could start showing up on your credit report. A firm
is one of the largest buy now, pay later lenders
and says that starting today, it's going to furnish all
(24:28):
new loans to the credit agencies, similar to how a
mortgage or a car loan shows up on your credit report.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
I mean, think about this.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You can buy dozens of products on a buy now,
pay later and it doesn't show up that you owe
the money.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
It's not a question for saying you're a flake.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It's a question of it is an outstanding loan that
doesn't show up.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
And to your point, that's absolutely correct.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
By the way, you misspoke, it's not not you make
four payments.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
You make four easy payments.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Right right. I left out the easy I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Just for easy payments.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, yeah, here's your fifteen dollars purchase. Would you like
to split that into four payments.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I've done this for equipment before, you know, and there's
no interest Usually no interest in.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Payment because I pay it if you.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Pay it off ahead four, But if you don't pay
it off in four, then you get charged with the
interest on the back end.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Oh, I always pay it, and they backdate it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
They go all the way back to the time you
first started at eighty percent annual interest rate.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, you want to pay those off.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
All right?
Speaker 5 (25:32):
This is a sad story. You got a nine year
old Kentucky boy. He died in floodwaters, which is sad
on its own, but he was walking to catch a
school bus.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
And that the situation is.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Now they're asking why why was school not canceled because
they were having massive storms at the time.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah, and that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Some someone screwed the pooch on this one, and there
was there's negligence here someplace, and it's unfortunately a cost
us little boy is life.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, and I don't know if it's you know, because
schools don't get paid if you don't the kids.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Well, it depends on the state. It depends on the state.
But still, either did the parents know? Was the weather
report was that specific saying it is that dangerous? Did
someone in the school system miss it? I'm going to
the school system. First, first thing, I go to the
school system, and then we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
That time to talk. President Trump made a kind of
surprise announcement yesterday said the US and Iran are going
to do direct talks about Tehran's nuclear program. Trump said
yesterday that the talks are going to start on Saturday,
and also issued issued a warning saying if the talks
(26:58):
are unsuccessful, Iran is going to be in great danger.
Now Tehran has or said that there will be talks,
but it's Foreign minister says the talks in Oman will
be indirect through mediators.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I don't know if you've ever been in a mediation,
but you're in different rooms and the mediator runs back
and forth with Hamas and Israel their negotiations through third parties,
and usually it's at a hotel. They're on different floors.
They won't even be on the same floor, in different rooms.
So indirect talks are I don't think they're nearly as
(27:36):
effective as looking someone in the eyeballs and talking, but
we're not close to that yet, not with Iran.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I don't know if we ever will be.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
All right, guys, I think we're done. This is KFI
