Speaker 2 (00:49):
Actually, Cono puts these together and he will take bits
and pieces of what I say and try to humiliate
me completely, as.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
He usually does that much editing.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Really no, there's very little edit, and I wanted to
say a lot of that wash stick. But occasionally the
absolute utter truth comes out, and unfortunately or fortunately, depending
on how you're looking at it, usually down it is.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
It's more truth than not truth.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It's gross.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I think it has more.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
To say how technologically not at so much a dinosaur,
because I've always been a technological dinosaur as technology came
into being.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
It's just not my wheelhouse. It just isn't so so
be it and Neil you've seen me.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You know, we grew up together in the tech age,
and you took to it like a duck to water.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I mean that's you.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I are not the same age.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, we are not. No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But I'm saying it's tech thirty years ago, was not
tech today.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
And I pointed to it immediately because I had to.
I was a designer to tell.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Right, And so it's just a it's different wheelhouse kind
of thing. It's all I'm trying to defend myself here,

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, I did more than that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, yeah, I can see that. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And when I do, when I use say something like that,
I really mean it, because I have no problem saying
you look like ut ter crap this morning. It's hey, Neil,
you washed your hair this morning. Didn't you looking good?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Both of them?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah that's true. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You know what's fun is you could throw Will's shirt
in the middle of a room and your shirt and
ten out of ten people would pick Will's. Look at
what you're wearing when you're calling people out.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
No, I think this is a real Hawaiian shirt. This
is uh, you know who get you? Are you already flaying?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
What makes it real?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It says Tony Uh, Tommy Bayama.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Tommy Tommy Obama.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh it's not Tony. Oh, maybe it's not real. Maybe
it is a knockoff.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Tony Bayama, would you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Say yeah anyway, Yes, I'm big on Hawaiian shirts. All right, guys,
let's go ahead and start moving. We of course always
always have news as we start. There's this thing as
news cycles anymore. They're just there twenty four four hours
a day. So all we do is come aboard every
morning and tell you what's the latest until the next
morning and tell you what's the latest, and that just
(04:06):
goes on and on and for news junkie, this is
great stuff and that is what I am. So as
we start, let's do it. It's type for handle on
the news with Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Always like to play with fire, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
President Trump says that Putin is quote playing with fire,
no kidding. Have you seen him explode these cities? The
Kremlin continues its assault on Ukraine, and Putin is you know,
he's not reacting very strongly. He has a friend in
Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is talking, Oh, we're gonna
(04:42):
nail We're gonna nail Russia.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
This is terrible. This is horrible.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
In reality, nothing no sanctions, just says things, but in
Trump language, says things about Putin playing with fire.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
He's absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Putin responds to the President is just emotionally over overwrought
right now.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's almost like you're saying, let's understand President Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He's got a lot on his plate and there's a
lot happening, so you know, let's understand him.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I mean, that's sort of the give and take.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
In the meantime, Ukraine is getting bombarded, the worst attack I.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Think since they hit that since the beginning of the war.
Just happened.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Thirty cities got hit simultaneously, and you know, nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Good is going to come out of it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We'll see if Trump is willing to lay in more
sanctions against Russia, although there are plenty of them.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is anything going to happen? No idea at this point.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Mind your p's and q's. On social media, the State
Department has halted the scheduling of new visa interviews for
foreign students hoping to study in the US while it
prepares to expand screening of their activity on social media.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce is the US uses every
available resource to vet people applying for visas. They said
(05:58):
they will continue to use every tool they can to
find out who's coming here, whether there are students or otherwise.
It's expected to be temporary and does not apply to
anybody who has already had a visa interview scheduled.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, I think that's because of a lawsuit that was
hit and was one. But this is an interesting one
because how do you go back through Let's say someone
applies for a student visa to come here, there's your application.
Let's look at previous posts that you've had since you
were a kid. You know, zillions and zillions of them.
(06:34):
Who goes through all that, Well, this is where AI
is probably going to kick in, and some algorithm is
going to say that when you know, going to show
up that when you were seventeen years old or when
you were twelve years old, you said something horrible about
the United States, and up kicks a statement that was
made on you are ineligible to come the United States
because you are not someone we want in the United States,
(06:57):
have has or any other country has un fettered control
over who comes in and who doesn't come in according
to any requirements at once?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What as well?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
They should Yeah, not argument, I'm just telling you that
it does. So they're going back and seeing what someone's
posting is or someone's relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It's it's you know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now, it depends on what administration is in power and
depending on what's going to happen. Oh, by the way,
I said to Anne to Anne to get Tammy Bruce,
the spokesperson for the State Department. Timmy used to work
here at KFI. She was a talk show host here
on the station.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Then.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
She was a liberal back then, not so much.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now she definitely went conservative and now she's one of
the premier conservative spokespeople out there. So anyway, we're gonna
try to get Tammy because I'd love to talk to her.
Haven't seen her in a while, like what twenty five years,
it's been a while. Yeah, why don't we go ahead
and return to handle on the news with Amy Neil
and Me.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
What a weird story.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
So there's this woman left in a coma after brain
damage a chaotic incident there in the Monticito mansion of
the Beanie Babies billionaire Ty Warner, and it happened last week,
officials said, involved this violent break.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
In and an attempted kidnapping.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
So Russell Maxwell Faye, forty two was arrested in the attack.
After a standoff there with law enforcement ended when he
jumped from the second floor window of the mansion and
was arrested there. But they don't there's no motive or anything.
There's no reason that we know just yet. But the
(08:39):
fact this took place at the mansion of the Beanie
Bay Beanie Baby's billionaire who was home. Ty Warner was
home apparently, but ad wasn't armed or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Just a weird.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It is weird.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Boys or boys, girls are girls or else. Is starting
to withhold federal funding for California because the state, he said,
under Governor Newsom, continues to illegally allow men to play
in women's sports. He's citing ab Hernandez, who is a
junior at Herber Valley High School who competes in girls
(09:17):
track and field. This is not the only organization contesting this.
Three other schools in southern California. Jay Sarah Catholic in
San Juan Capistrana, Orange, Lutheran High in Orange, and Irvine's
Crean Lutheran High School have also banded together against the
Interscholastic Federation's policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls' sports.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, this is California law, by the way, that mandates this.
Even Newsom is against this. Newsom is not thrilled and.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Thinks it's basically unfair.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And I think most of it, I think the majority
of Americans, even though in favor of trans rights, which
I am. You go, wait a minute, you can become
a woman if you're a man, But physiologically there's still
a lot of man stuff you have.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You may not have the junk even but.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Your skeletal makeup, a lot of your muscular makeup is
still who you were.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And it is inherently unfair.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Well this in this case, this person competed in the
triple jump and beat the competition by like three feet yeh,
three inches, but three feet.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Little unfair, to say the least. And where did they go?
Can they pass federal law on this?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I think they can. I think they can and they will.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Interesting that the California Legislature won't tomorrow afternoon turn this over.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
They did make a change. The California Interschalactic Federation apparently
says it will allow the second place finisher who was
a biological girl to compete in the state championships this weekend.
And also they say the event's going to be scored differently.
Not sure exactly what they mean by that, but that's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, I don't get it either.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Why wouldn't you just outlaw specifically saying this is one
area where trans does make a difference, and a big difference.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I think the rule now is if you're gonna pull vault,
there can only be one pole involved. Well said, yes,
all right, Elon Musk couldn't get it up last night.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You've got back to factplosions. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
SpaceX launched its Mega rocket Starship again yesterday night fell
short of the main objective. The spacecraft did this weird thing.
It tumbled out of control, broke apart, which I'm not
a rocket scientist, but that would be bad. And you know,
Elon was hoping to release a series of these mock
satellites following.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It was supposed to come back. It was supposed to
come back in the atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
But the problem is coming back is where it blew
apart as opposed to the other ones that blew apart
on the way up.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So my set is getting better and he is.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
So it's important work, it really is.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
And he's pushing the limit by you know, leaps and bounds,
but still having.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Issues right, also one of the first one that flew
with a recycled booster. Remember, he brings him down and
he fixes him again and brings him up again, And
I love the way.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
How do they just here is what they do?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They described what happened as a rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's the way they described the thing blew up. I
like that.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well it's science man.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
A couple of reality stars are getting a get out
of jail free card thanks to President Trump. Chrisly knows
best reality TV stars. Okay, I hesitate to call them stars.
I've never heard of this show. Todd Christly and Julie
Chrisly are going to be pardoned. The White House announced
yesterday that they're they're gonna let them out, nearly three
(13:02):
years after they were convicted in twenty twenty two of
tax evasion and bank fraud. Todd Crisly was sentenced to
twelve years in federal prison. Julie got a seven year sentence.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
They must have some pretty high up friends in this administration.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, what is the tires?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I have no idea. I mean, they weren't known, are they.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I assume they're Trump supporters and or I'm assuming that
they're pretty close to someone that is a big position
in the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So okay, good day. Good to know them port. You know,
it's good to have friends in high places.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
This Delta flight six ninety four was diverted en route
from Detroit to Los Angeles International Airport on Monday evening.
So this little pooch sick dog. They had to disembark
in Minneapolis. I guess this dog got sick on the flight.
There was a there was a veterinarian there and said, hey,
(14:00):
I'll take a look, and they all decided that the dog.
He did emergency care and they landed and got that
pooch some help.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Actually a vet, what I understand, came onto the plane's
take the pooch off.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I will not make a joke about the vet's last name. Okay,
I will not do that.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I don't know what that means, but.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Ah, yes you do, but I will never mind, we
will not go there. It was going to be a
gratuitous statement.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Oh don't do that stuff, you know, I said, I
I said, moving.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
On, okay, and wasn't going to do that. And I'm not,
by the way, but thank you for okay, one more.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Okay, That change of address form more important than ever
if you are wildfire survivor. It appears that some homeowners
aren't getting things like, oh, property tax refunds because their address,
you know, where their house once stood is no longer
valid because the houses were burned down. The La County
(14:58):
Assessor's office is urging anyone affected by the wildfires to
put in a change of address form because their property
tax refunds are getting returned to sender.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Also you have to, I believe you have to ask
for a reassessment. You had a three million dollar house
that burned down, that is now down to the foundation,
and the foundations are ruined, they're cracked, and they can't
be built on. Your three million dollar home is not
three million dollars anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is worth a whole lot less.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
What you have is a lot that has to where
the debris has to be removed, and so you're still
paying taxes on it. The assessment still holds unless there
has been a blanket reassessment. I don't know the answer
to that, but there's a lot that has to be done.
Life changes pretty dramatically clearly when you've lost your home
(15:55):
under these circumstances, and I think, I don't know, is
there a program that helps people straighten this out?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There is a ton of services available to people affected
by the wildfires, So just google how do I get
help with? You know, okay with wildfire. They've got all
kinds of services set up. I'm guessing I don't know
one hundred percent, but I'm guessing that this is one
of them. When they're like, hey, you need to go
and apply to for an assessment so you can get
a property tax refund. Got it is I saying those
(16:23):
refund checks are now getting kicked back.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
All right, We're going to come back, continueing with Handle
on the News.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Hey, a quick word about our event on June seven,
on Saturday, we are doing something we've never done in
the history of this show, and that is all of us.
In the morning, you're going to go to dinner at
the Anaheim White House in Anaheim, and there is well,
first of all, this is Chef Bruno's restaurant and we
(16:49):
do Katarina's Club there every year. And the food we
spent a lot of time talking about Katarina's Club. The
food is spectacular. If you've never been to Anaheim White House,
were in retreat, and you have been.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So what we're doing is we're having dinner Saturday night
all of us, and five people are going to join this,
five people plus a guest. And here is how this
is going to happen during the course of the show.
Anytime we are on the show in the morning, you
go to the iHeartRadio app and click on the bill
handle show. You'll see a microphone in the upper right
(17:23):
hand corner, and you've got fifteen twenty seconds to record
why you should be invited, why you should come, or
why you want to come. Do not tell me because
you love the show and you've been listening for a
zillion years. I don't want to hear it. And what
will happen is sort of the better ones we're going
to throw into a hat and we'll pick out five.
(17:46):
And so if you happen to win this one man,
you are in for treating. You'll sit with all of
us and we'll bs and we'll talk about stories and
will bad mouth everybody on the station, which we do regularly,
and so come join us. It should be a lot
of fun. And I have some ideas about how all
of us are going to move at all the tables.
So everybody, it's a chance to bad mouth everybody. Okay,
(18:08):
back we go more Handle on the News with Amy
Neil and Me.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
So Trump is asking the Supreme Court to make it
easier for his administration to deport people to South Sudan
and other countries. The hitch here is that aren't their homeland.
So this latest series of one could say controversial immigration
policies the administration has put before the Conservative majority High Court.
(18:36):
We'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, transporting people, deporting people to their country of origin
is one thing, that's what usually happens. But in this
case South Sudan. Boy, there's a fun vacation spot you
want to go to.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
And so I think the Supreme Court actually at.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
This point is going to say no where I mean
South Sudan, you know, why not Paris? Why not France?
If you're going to deport someone, let's go to someplace fun. Right, Wow,
he should get this, just this big map and a
couple of darts.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Yeah, and then before you know, every time they have
someone and they're gonna deport him, he just throws the dart,
goes let's see where you're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, and here's the problem. Also, the country has to
accept that person. If the country says no, thank you, Now,
what do you do?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Well, maybe he makes deals with him.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's what he does, and he pays. For example, in Venezuela,
cut a deal. We'll pay for prisoners that we send
down there, whether or not they're Venezuelans or not. Interesting stuff.
All right, here's another Supreme Court request or decision.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, too bad, they're not gonna be making pennies anymore.
The Supreme Court decided or actually declined tuesday to hear
an Apache religious challenge to the construction of a copper
mine in Oak Flat. That's a swath of federal land
in Arizona that tribe members consider sacred and irreplaceable. The
(20:10):
decision leaves intact of lower courts ruling against the tribe members,
and it will allow the Forest Service to move forward
with plans to basically give the rights to the land
to resolution copper to do copper mining.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, it's a tough one for the Apache tribe. And
then in a statement they said, how could the court
have done that? With all caps on the howl? Oh, Okay,
there's another one.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thank you very much. Email. All emails go to an
eel if you are offended.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
No, thank you. I will tell you this though. I
watched Poltergeist and I would touch that land.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Was that apatche No?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
That was Oh I'm just saying that Native American land.
If they say sacred, leave it the hell alone.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Especial for the cemetery.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, they built house on top of a sacred cemetery.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, so you sort of you're all right, take a break,
we'll come back and we'll finish up. Handle on the
news on this very lovely Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Wednesday, I'm gonna sneeze. Hold on a minute. Oh I
hate that when that happens.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Stand up for the kickoff.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, I know, yeh and it comes over there, so
I'll do it right in the middle of the sentence.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I know that's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Stare to light. Stare to light. Man stare what stare
the light?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Stare the light? Never heard that?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Oh you haven't heard of that. That's a surefirewear look
right into a light.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
They had no idea. I've never heard that in my life.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well, why aren't you listening to either one of us?
We're telling you what to do.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
No, I understand. I'm just thinking, I've just never heard that.
I'm going, wow, I've never heard about that. I can
see staring into a flickering light. So you have a
grandma seizure, and that'll stop you from sneezing. I understand
when you're hitting the floor and looking like you're doing
the funky Chicken. I get that that'll stop you. But
Sterry had a light to stop sneeze.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Okay, no, I appreciate that. All right, come on, let's
do this. Let's finish out Pandel on the News on
this Wednesday morning with Amy Neil and Me So.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
The FBI Deputy director said that the agency is going
to forget some golden or investigate some golden oldies. So
several unsolved incidents, including you remember the discovery of that
cocaine in the White House during the Biden administration. That's gonna,
I guess, become a big thing again, the DC pipe
bombs case, and the Supreme Court Dobbs decision leak.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So how did they get front you know the cocaine business.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's near a ground floor entrance to the West Wing
where tourists go past that place on a tour, and
so they never figured out who it was and how
it happened.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And now what are.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You insinuating tourists left cocaine in a locker at the
White House?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I know, not at all.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It would have to be a Biden staffer who was
high on cocaine. Maybe the Secretary of State. What do
you think maybe Biden himself left a pile of cocaine
there before he was caught. I don't know. Maybe, yeah,
it would be Hunter Biden. Of course, it wouldn't be
Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
No anything, but I am cocaine.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Right, maybe some downers yeah, And then so you're right,
this is old stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
You know, what do you do visiting?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
If somebody, a tourist could get cocaine in the White House,
I'd have a powdery substance then you could get.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
You know, I've been to the White House. They do
bomb sniffing and drug sniffing dogs and stuff. You can't
take drugs in.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, I've been to the White House and even the
Visitors Center. I'm trying to think, yeah, I've done that tour.
You know, they make a huge deal out of that tour.
You have to have your congress person give you a pass,
so you feel very very special, and then you find
out that anybody, under any circumstances will can get a pass.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, you can say you're a constituent, not say you're
a constituent. And you walk in feeling very special. You're
going to get some kind of a tour. It is
Grand Central Station there. How's that for feeling special?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Pardonable visit. It's the People's House.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It is the People's House.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I thought it was really impressive.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I thought it was neat.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I really enjoyed it. You know, the green room, the
Red room, you know, the treaty Room, the Purple Room.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Kind of neat.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Some of the collections that were given to the president,
Dolly Madison's I don't know her cutlery, you know her plates.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I thought it was kind of neat.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Six Flags may become five Flags. Six Flags Entertainment has
laid off the presidents of k Notsberry Farm and six
Flags Magic Mountain, and we'll cut about one hundred and
thirty five other jobs in California. The company operates forty
two amusement parks across North America. They say they planned
to cut staffing by about ten percent in the coming weeks.
(24:56):
Cost cutting follows last year's eight billion dollar merger of
six Flags with Cedar Fair, making it the largest amusement
park operator in North America.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, I've never heard when you have ten percent layoffs happening.
That includes the CEOs of the organizations. That's a new one,
that's part of it. Yeah, I mean it hasn't been
making money.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
It does well, that can consolidate since they have forty
two parks.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
But still, yeah, that's cost cutting across the board, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
All right, there is gold in them there. Bolten Lava Hills,
as a German university literally struck gold in recent findings
from volcanic rock. It turns out they have and they're
containing all kinds of precious metals, including gold. And apparently
approximately ninety nine percent of the Earth's gold is buried
(25:51):
deep in the Earth's metallic core, far out of the
human kind's reached, so about eighteen one hundred miles deep
in the core. So you you need a big drill
to get to it.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Getting it out is some trick, isn't it. They haven't
yet figured out how to how to.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Retrieve that gold.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Trust me make it out of copper and someone in
LA will figure out how to steal it.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
All right, let's see one more. Oh this is personal.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, for those wanting to get the heck out of
the US. Maybe you're not a Trump fan, maybe it's
just time to leave, Like you know, Rosie O'Donnell and
Ellen DeGeneres and who's the other one, Eva Longaria all left.
But they did a study to find out where people
from the US want to move, questioned one hundred and
(26:39):
sixteen thousand Americans. Portugal was the number one country request
for Americans. The survey also showed that people are interested
in moving to Spain, the UK, Canada, Italy, Ireland, France, Mexico,
New Zealand, and Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I thought Italy would be far harder, farther up the list,
because I have a lot of people I know that
are bailing out and going to Italy to move. And
Portugal is a great place because it was so cheap,
was so cheap, So many Americans have gone to Portugal
that rekin Yeah wrecking, Yeah, absolutely absolutely, it's tough times.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I've heard Portuguese fabulous.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, Yeah, Portugal is a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What I've never been to Portugal.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh, Portugal. Yeah, Portugal is absolutely great.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's beautiful and the people are very nice, and they
speak Portuguese and uh.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
So there you are.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You know what's interesting, Brazilian Portuguese is very very different
than Portugal Portuguese. And I thought when I went to Portugal,
my bad Portuguese. Now I wouldn't be able to understand them.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Did great?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Did absolutely great. So it's a wonderful place. And it
was cheap, cheap, cheap, not anymore. Okay, we're done with
the news on this Wednesday morning. Something we talked about
during the news is the change to California's girl Track
and Field championship. You know, the trans the people that
(28:07):
used to be men who are not women, who are
now involved in sports against.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Women because they're part of women's teams.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's a little controversial, to say the least, and the
vast majority of Americans this is one where we all
agree this should not be happening, boys being girls being
on track teams.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So we'll come back with that. This is KFI A
m six point forty.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
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 kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The bill handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
My cognitive abilities are decreasing dramatically.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
But you use your iPhone very badly? Do you play
Mortal and kordle? I do not connections?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
No, okay, I play.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
With myself and now handle on the news, Ladies and gentlemen,
here's bill handle.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
A f I AM six forty bill handle.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Here it is a wednesdayday, Wednesday, May twenty eighth.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And that fun promo we just had.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Actually, Cono puts these together and he will take bits
and pieces of what I say and try to humiliate
me completely, as.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
He usually does that much editing.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Really no, there's very little edit, and I wanted to
say a lot of that wash stick. But occasionally the
absolute utter truth comes out, and unfortunately or fortunately, depending
on how you're looking at it, usually down it is.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
It's more truth than not truth.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
It's gross.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I think it has more.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
To say how technologically not at so much a dinosaur,
because I've always been a technological dinosaur as technology came
into being.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
It's just not my wheelhouse. It just isn't so so
be it and Neil you've seen me.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You know, we grew up together in the tech age,
and you took to it like a duck to water.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I mean that's you.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I are not the same age.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
No, we are not. No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
But I'm saying it's tech thirty years ago, was not
tech today.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
And I pointed to it immediately because I had to.
I was a designer to tell.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Right, And so it's just a it's different wheelhouse kind
of thing. It's all I'm trying to defend myself here,
and I don't know if I'm doing such a good job,
a great job.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Okay, good morning, Neil, good morning, Willie, there you are,
and Cono, good morning, Good.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Morning Bill, and hey will good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Went to an Italian restaurant last night for dinner and
stole the tablecloth.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
This is the same shirt you called me at lesbian
in last time.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh yeah, well, okay, so you went to an Italian
restaurant that's owned by two women who happened to have
a very close relationship. Okay, that's it, fair enough, Amy,
good morning, Hi Bill, Hey there you are, and then
the ever lovely Anne good.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Morning, Oh good morning Bill. I was wanting to and
how great her hair looks today. I don't know if
you've noticed. Yeah, it looks great, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And yeah I did notice, and she had what you've
done the highlights?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I said, yeah, I said you. I said, you washed
your hair this morning, Good for you.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, I did more than that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, yeah, I can see that. Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And when I do, when I use say something like that,
I really mean it, because I have no problem saying
you look like ut ter crap this morning. It's hey, Neil,
you washed your hair this morning. Didn't you looking good?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Both of them?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah that's true. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
You know what's fun is you could throw Will's shirt
in the middle of a room and your shirt and
ten out of ten people would pick Will's. Look at
what you're wearing when you're calling people out.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
No, I think this is a real Hawaiian shirt. This
is uh, you know who get you? Are you already flaying?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
What makes it real?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
It says Tony Uh, Tommy Bayama.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Tommy Tommy Obama.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh it's not Tony. Oh, maybe it's not real. Maybe
it is a knockoff.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Tony Bayama, would you.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Say yeah anyway, Yes, I'm big on Hawaiian shirts. All right, guys,
let's go ahead and start moving. We of course always
always have news as we start. There's this thing as
news cycles anymore. They're just there twenty four four hours
a day. So all we do is come aboard every
morning and tell you what's the latest until the next
morning and tell you what's the latest, and that just
(04:06):
goes on and on and for news junkie, this is
great stuff and that is what I am. So as
we start, let's do it. It's type for handle on
the news with Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Always like to play with fire, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
President Trump says that Putin is quote playing with fire,
no kidding. Have you seen him explode these cities? The
Kremlin continues its assault on Ukraine, and Putin is you know,
he's not reacting very strongly. He has a friend in
Donald Trump, and Donald Trump is talking, Oh, we're gonna
(04:42):
nail We're gonna nail Russia.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
This is terrible. This is horrible.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
In reality, nothing no sanctions, just says things, but in
Trump language, says things about Putin playing with fire.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
He's absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Putin responds to the President is just emotionally over overwrought
right now.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's almost like you're saying, let's understand President Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He's got a lot on his plate and there's a
lot happening, so you know, let's understand him.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I mean, that's sort of the give and take.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
In the meantime, Ukraine is getting bombarded, the worst attack I.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Think since they hit that since the beginning of the war.
Just happened.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Thirty cities got hit simultaneously, and you know, nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Good is going to come out of it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
We'll see if Trump is willing to lay in more
sanctions against Russia, although there are plenty of them.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is anything going to happen? No idea at this point.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Mind your p's and q's. On social media, the State
Department has halted the scheduling of new visa interviews for
foreign students hoping to study in the US while it
prepares to expand screening of their activity on social media.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce is the US uses every
available resource to vet people applying for visas. They said
(05:58):
they will continue to use every tool they can to
find out who's coming here, whether there are students or otherwise.
It's expected to be temporary and does not apply to
anybody who has already had a visa interview scheduled.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, I think that's because of a lawsuit that was
hit and was one. But this is an interesting one
because how do you go back through Let's say someone
applies for a student visa to come here, there's your application.
Let's look at previous posts that you've had since you
were a kid. You know, zillions and zillions of them.
(06:34):
Who goes through all that, Well, this is where AI
is probably going to kick in, and some algorithm is
going to say that when you know, going to show
up that when you were seventeen years old or when
you were twelve years old, you said something horrible about
the United States, and up kicks a statement that was
made on you are ineligible to come the United States
because you are not someone we want in the United States,
(06:57):
have has or any other country has un fettered control
over who comes in and who doesn't come in according
to any requirements at once?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
What as well?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
They should Yeah, not argument, I'm just telling you that
it does. So they're going back and seeing what someone's
posting is or someone's relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
It's it's you know.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now, it depends on what administration is in power and
depending on what's going to happen. Oh, by the way,
I said to Anne to Anne to get Tammy Bruce,
the spokesperson for the State Department. Timmy used to work
here at KFI. She was a talk show host here
on the station.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Then.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
She was a liberal back then, not so much.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now she definitely went conservative and now she's one of
the premier conservative spokespeople out there. So anyway, we're gonna
try to get Tammy because I'd love to talk to her.
Haven't seen her in a while, like what twenty five years,
it's been a while. Yeah, why don't we go ahead
and return to handle on the news with Amy Neil
and Me.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
What a weird story.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
So there's this woman left in a coma after brain
damage a chaotic incident there in the Monticito mansion of
the Beanie Babies billionaire Ty Warner, and it happened last week,
officials said, involved this violent break.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
In and an attempted kidnapping.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
So Russell Maxwell Faye, forty two was arrested in the attack.
After a standoff there with law enforcement ended when he
jumped from the second floor window of the mansion and
was arrested there. But they don't there's no motive or anything.
There's no reason that we know just yet. But the
(08:39):
fact this took place at the mansion of the Beanie
Bay Beanie Baby's billionaire who was home. Ty Warner was
home apparently, but ad wasn't armed or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Just a weird.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It is weird.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Boys or boys, girls are girls or else. Is starting
to withhold federal funding for California because the state, he said,
under Governor Newsom, continues to illegally allow men to play
in women's sports. He's citing ab Hernandez, who is a
junior at Herber Valley High School who competes in girls
(09:17):
track and field. This is not the only organization contesting this.
Three other schools in southern California. Jay Sarah Catholic in
San Juan Capistrana, Orange, Lutheran High in Orange, and Irvine's
Crean Lutheran High School have also banded together against the
Interscholastic Federation's policy allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls' sports.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, this is California law, by the way, that mandates this.
Even Newsom is against this. Newsom is not thrilled and.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Thinks it's basically unfair.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
And I think most of it, I think the majority
of Americans, even though in favor of trans rights, which
I am. You go, wait a minute, you can become
a woman if you're a man, But physiologically there's still
a lot of man stuff you have.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
You may not have the junk even but.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Your skeletal makeup, a lot of your muscular makeup is
still who you were.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And it is inherently unfair.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Well this in this case, this person competed in the
triple jump and beat the competition by like three feet yeh,
three inches, but three feet.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Little unfair, to say the least. And where did they go?
Can they pass federal law on this?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I think they can. I think they can and they will.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Interesting that the California Legislature won't tomorrow afternoon turn this over.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
They did make a change. The California Interschalactic Federation apparently
says it will allow the second place finisher who was
a biological girl to compete in the state championships this weekend.
And also they say the event's going to be scored differently.
Not sure exactly what they mean by that, but that's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, I don't get it either.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Why wouldn't you just outlaw specifically saying this is one
area where trans does make a difference, and a big difference.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I think the rule now is if you're gonna pull vault,
there can only be one pole involved. Well said, yes,
all right, Elon Musk couldn't get it up last night.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You've got back to factplosions. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
SpaceX launched its Mega rocket Starship again yesterday night fell
short of the main objective. The spacecraft did this weird thing.
It tumbled out of control, broke apart, which I'm not
a rocket scientist, but that would be bad. And you know,
Elon was hoping to release a series of these mock
satellites following.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It was supposed to come back. It was supposed to
come back in the atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
But the problem is coming back is where it blew
apart as opposed to the other ones that blew apart
on the way up.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
So my set is getting better and he is.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
So it's important work, it really is.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
And he's pushing the limit by you know, leaps and bounds,
but still having.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Issues right, also one of the first one that flew
with a recycled booster. Remember, he brings him down and
he fixes him again and brings him up again, And
I love the way.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
How do they just here is what they do?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They described what happened as a rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That's the way they described the thing blew up. I
like that.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Well it's science man.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
A couple of reality stars are getting a get out
of jail free card thanks to President Trump. Chrisly knows
best reality TV stars. Okay, I hesitate to call them stars.
I've never heard of this show. Todd Christly and Julie
Chrisly are going to be pardoned. The White House announced
yesterday that they're they're gonna let them out, nearly three
(13:02):
years after they were convicted in twenty twenty two of
tax evasion and bank fraud. Todd Crisly was sentenced to
twelve years in federal prison. Julie got a seven year sentence.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
They must have some pretty high up friends in this administration.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
Yeah, what is the tires?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I have no idea. I mean, they weren't known, are they.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I assume they're Trump supporters and or I'm assuming that
they're pretty close to someone that is a big position
in the Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So okay, good day. Good to know them port. You know,
it's good to have friends in high places.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
This Delta flight six ninety four was diverted en route
from Detroit to Los Angeles International Airport on Monday evening.
So this little pooch sick dog. They had to disembark
in Minneapolis. I guess this dog got sick on the flight.
There was a there was a veterinarian there and said, hey,
(14:00):
I'll take a look, and they all decided that the dog.
He did emergency care and they landed and got that
pooch some help.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Actually a vet, what I understand, came onto the plane's
take the pooch off.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I will not make a joke about the vet's last name. Okay,
I will not do that.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I don't know what that means, but.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Ah, yes you do, but I will never mind, we
will not go there. It was going to be a
gratuitous statement.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Oh don't do that stuff, you know, I said, I
I said, moving.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
On, okay, and wasn't going to do that. And I'm not,
by the way, but thank you for okay, one more.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Okay, That change of address form more important than ever
if you are wildfire survivor. It appears that some homeowners
aren't getting things like, oh, property tax refunds because their address,
you know, where their house once stood is no longer
valid because the houses were burned down. The La County
(14:58):
Assessor's office is urging anyone affected by the wildfires to
put in a change of address form because their property
tax refunds are getting returned to sender.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Also you have to, I believe you have to ask
for a reassessment. You had a three million dollar house
that burned down, that is now down to the foundation,
and the foundations are ruined, they're cracked, and they can't
be built on. Your three million dollar home is not
three million dollars anymore.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It is worth a whole lot less.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
What you have is a lot that has to where
the debris has to be removed, and so you're still
paying taxes on it. The assessment still holds unless there
has been a blanket reassessment. I don't know the answer
to that, but there's a lot that has to be done.
Life changes pretty dramatically clearly when you've lost your home
(15:55):
under these circumstances, and I think, I don't know, is
there a program that helps people straighten this out?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
There is a ton of services available to people affected
by the wildfires, So just google how do I get
help with? You know, okay with wildfire. They've got all
kinds of services set up. I'm guessing I don't know
one hundred percent, but I'm guessing that this is one
of them. When they're like, hey, you need to go
and apply to for an assessment so you can get
a property tax refund. Got it is I saying those
(16:23):
refund checks are now getting kicked back.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
All right, We're going to come back, continueing with Handle
on the News.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Hey, a quick word about our event on June seven,
on Saturday, we are doing something we've never done in
the history of this show, and that is all of us.
In the morning, you're going to go to dinner at
the Anaheim White House in Anaheim, and there is well,
first of all, this is Chef Bruno's restaurant and we
(16:49):
do Katarina's Club there every year. And the food we
spent a lot of time talking about Katarina's Club. The
food is spectacular. If you've never been to Anaheim White House,
were in retreat, and you have been.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
So what we're doing is we're having dinner Saturday night
all of us, and five people are going to join this,
five people plus a guest. And here is how this
is going to happen during the course of the show.
Anytime we are on the show in the morning, you
go to the iHeartRadio app and click on the bill
handle show. You'll see a microphone in the upper right
(17:23):
hand corner, and you've got fifteen twenty seconds to record
why you should be invited, why you should come, or
why you want to come. Do not tell me because
you love the show and you've been listening for a
zillion years. I don't want to hear it. And what
will happen is sort of the better ones we're going
to throw into a hat and we'll pick out five.
(17:46):
And so if you happen to win this one man,
you are in for treating. You'll sit with all of
us and we'll bs and we'll talk about stories and
will bad mouth everybody on the station, which we do regularly,
and so come join us. It should be a lot
of fun. And I have some ideas about how all
of us are going to move at all the tables.
So everybody, it's a chance to bad mouth everybody. Okay,
(18:08):
back we go more Handle on the News with Amy
Neil and Me.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
So Trump is asking the Supreme Court to make it
easier for his administration to deport people to South Sudan
and other countries. The hitch here is that aren't their homeland.
So this latest series of one could say controversial immigration
policies the administration has put before the Conservative majority High Court.
(18:36):
We'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, transporting people, deporting people to their country of origin
is one thing, that's what usually happens. But in this
case South Sudan. Boy, there's a fun vacation spot you
want to go to.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
And so I think the Supreme Court actually at.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
This point is going to say no where I mean
South Sudan, you know, why not Paris? Why not France?
If you're going to deport someone, let's go to someplace fun. Right, Wow,
he should get this, just this big map and a
couple of darts.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Yeah, and then before you know, every time they have
someone and they're gonna deport him, he just throws the dart,
goes let's see where you're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, and here's the problem. Also, the country has to
accept that person. If the country says no, thank you, Now,
what do you do?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Well, maybe he makes deals with him.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That's what he does, and he pays. For example, in Venezuela,
cut a deal. We'll pay for prisoners that we send
down there, whether or not they're Venezuelans or not. Interesting stuff.
All right, here's another Supreme Court request or decision.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, too bad, they're not gonna be making pennies anymore.
The Supreme Court decided or actually declined tuesday to hear
an Apache religious challenge to the construction of a copper
mine in Oak Flat. That's a swath of federal land
in Arizona that tribe members consider sacred and irreplaceable. The
(20:10):
decision leaves intact of lower courts ruling against the tribe members,
and it will allow the Forest Service to move forward
with plans to basically give the rights to the land
to resolution copper to do copper mining.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, it's a tough one for the Apache tribe. And
then in a statement they said, how could the court
have done that? With all caps on the howl? Oh, Okay,
there's another one.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Thank you very much. Email. All emails go to an
eel if you are offended.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
No, thank you. I will tell you this though. I
watched Poltergeist and I would touch that land.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Was that apatche No?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
That was Oh I'm just saying that Native American land.
If they say sacred, leave it the hell alone.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Especial for the cemetery.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, they built house on top of a sacred cemetery.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, so you sort of you're all right, take a break,
we'll come back and we'll finish up. Handle on the
news on this very lovely Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Wednesday, I'm gonna sneeze. Hold on a minute. Oh I
hate that when that happens.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Stand up for the kickoff.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah, I know, yeh and it comes over there, so
I'll do it right in the middle of the sentence.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I know that's going to happen.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Stare to light. Stare to light. Man stare what stare
the light?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Stare the light? Never heard that?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Oh you haven't heard of that. That's a surefirewear look
right into a light.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
They had no idea. I've never heard that in my life.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Well, why aren't you listening to either one of us?
We're telling you what to do.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
No, I understand. I'm just thinking, I've just never heard that.
I'm going, wow, I've never heard about that. I can
see staring into a flickering light. So you have a
grandma seizure, and that'll stop you from sneezing. I understand
when you're hitting the floor and looking like you're doing
the funky Chicken. I get that that'll stop you. But
Sterry had a light to stop sneeze.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Okay, no, I appreciate that. All right, come on, let's
do this. Let's finish out Pandel on the News on
this Wednesday morning with Amy Neil and Me So.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
The FBI Deputy director said that the agency is going
to forget some golden or investigate some golden oldies. So
several unsolved incidents, including you remember the discovery of that
cocaine in the White House during the Biden administration. That's gonna,
I guess, become a big thing again, the DC pipe
bombs case, and the Supreme Court Dobbs decision leak.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
So how did they get front you know the cocaine business.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's near a ground floor entrance to the West Wing
where tourists go past that place on a tour, and
so they never figured out who it was and how
it happened.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And now what are.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You insinuating tourists left cocaine in a locker at the
White House?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I know, not at all.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
It would have to be a Biden staffer who was
high on cocaine. Maybe the Secretary of State. What do
you think maybe Biden himself left a pile of cocaine
there before he was caught. I don't know. Maybe, yeah,
it would be Hunter Biden. Of course, it wouldn't be
Joe Biden.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
No anything, but I am cocaine.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Right, maybe some downers yeah, And then so you're right,
this is old stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
You know, what do you do visiting?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
If somebody, a tourist could get cocaine in the White House,
I'd have a powdery substance then you could get.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
You know, I've been to the White House. They do
bomb sniffing and drug sniffing dogs and stuff. You can't
take drugs in.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, I've been to the White House and even the
Visitors Center. I'm trying to think, yeah, I've done that tour.
You know, they make a huge deal out of that tour.
You have to have your congress person give you a pass,
so you feel very very special, and then you find
out that anybody, under any circumstances will can get a pass.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, you can say you're a constituent, not say you're
a constituent. And you walk in feeling very special. You're
going to get some kind of a tour. It is
Grand Central Station there. How's that for feeling special?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Pardonable visit. It's the People's House.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
It is the People's House.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I thought it was really impressive.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I thought it was neat.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I really enjoyed it. You know, the green room, the
Red room, you know, the treaty Room, the Purple Room.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Kind of neat.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Some of the collections that were given to the president,
Dolly Madison's I don't know her cutlery, you know her plates.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I thought it was kind of neat.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Six Flags may become five Flags. Six Flags Entertainment has
laid off the presidents of k Notsberry Farm and six
Flags Magic Mountain, and we'll cut about one hundred and
thirty five other jobs in California. The company operates forty
two amusement parks across North America. They say they planned
to cut staffing by about ten percent in the coming weeks.
(24:56):
Cost cutting follows last year's eight billion dollar merger of
six Flags with Cedar Fair, making it the largest amusement
park operator in North America.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, I've never heard when you have ten percent layoffs happening.
That includes the CEOs of the organizations. That's a new one,
that's part of it. Yeah, I mean it hasn't been
making money.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
It does well, that can consolidate since they have forty
two parks.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
But still, yeah, that's cost cutting across the board, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
All right, there is gold in them there. Bolten Lava Hills,
as a German university literally struck gold in recent findings
from volcanic rock. It turns out they have and they're
containing all kinds of precious metals, including gold. And apparently
approximately ninety nine percent of the Earth's gold is buried
(25:51):
deep in the Earth's metallic core, far out of the
human kind's reached, so about eighteen one hundred miles deep
in the core. So you you need a big drill
to get to it.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Getting it out is some trick, isn't it. They haven't
yet figured out how to how to.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Retrieve that gold.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
Trust me make it out of copper and someone in
LA will figure out how to steal it.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
All right, let's see one more. Oh this is personal.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, for those wanting to get the heck out of
the US. Maybe you're not a Trump fan, maybe it's
just time to leave, Like you know, Rosie O'Donnell and
Ellen DeGeneres and who's the other one, Eva Longaria all left.
But they did a study to find out where people
from the US want to move, questioned one hundred and
(26:39):
sixteen thousand Americans. Portugal was the number one country request
for Americans. The survey also showed that people are interested
in moving to Spain, the UK, Canada, Italy, Ireland, France, Mexico,
New Zealand, and Costa Rica.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I thought Italy would be far harder, farther up the list,
because I have a lot of people I know that
are bailing out and going to Italy to move. And
Portugal is a great place because it was so cheap,
was so cheap, So many Americans have gone to Portugal
that rekin Yeah wrecking, Yeah, absolutely absolutely, it's tough times.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
I've heard Portuguese fabulous.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, Yeah, Portugal is a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What I've never been to Portugal.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh, Portugal. Yeah, Portugal is absolutely great.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
It's beautiful and the people are very nice, and they
speak Portuguese and uh.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
So there you are.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
You know what's interesting, Brazilian Portuguese is very very different
than Portugal Portuguese. And I thought when I went to Portugal,
my bad Portuguese. Now I wouldn't be able to understand them.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Did great?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Did absolutely great. So it's a wonderful place. And it
was cheap, cheap, cheap, not anymore. Okay, we're done with
the news on this Wednesday morning. Something we talked about
during the news is the change to California's girl Track
and Field championship. You know, the trans the people that
(28:07):
used to be men who are not women, who are
now involved in sports against.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Women because they're part of women's teams.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's a little controversial, to say the least, and the
vast majority of Americans this is one where we all
agree this should not be happening, boys being girls being
on track teams.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So we'll come back with that. This is KFI A
m six point forty.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
