Speaker 1 (01:33):
Oh yeah, that's nice. It was like here a little humid,
little SCHITZI no, not at all. No, I like og
Oregon is great. But problem is s Pacific Northwest. So
it's as beautiful as it is. First of all, you

and it's i'mtunately it's too gray. You know. People, it's
(01:57):

enjoy ourselves. Neil, good morning.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
You know when you said, you know, I'm not a
jerk or whatever, I'm bill handled. That reminds you remember
the OJ quote, I'm not black, I'm oj Yeah you remember. Yeah,
he was like when they were talking about him being.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, he wasn't. He wasn't very black when you think
about it, certainly not any kind of a black culture
if you believe, if you believe, yeah, if it's true,
but if you believe there is a black culture, which
I do, by the way, I believe there are cultures
of many many different ethnicity. Of course there are, but
it sounds racist if I got to that point, now
(03:16):
you know where come on? Really all right?
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I actually think it's the opposite. I think most people
have problems with cultures and.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Not Okay, oh by that, Yeah, why don't we you
know what, why don't we get into a heavy metaphysical
discussion at six o'clock in the morning. What do you think? Huh?
Neil's do it? Yeah, And then there's Will Cole Schreiber,
who we couldn't get into metaphysical discussion if we try to. Will,
by the way, that was not a that was not
(03:42):
a you know, I hit on your intelligence. Actually it
was anyway. As always, we start with Will's part of
the crew, and and good morning Anne, Good morning, Bill,
good morning. And then on Wednesday, Oh am, I excited
about Wednesday? Why am I excited about Wednesday? Brand is
coming in with a full breakfast smear and I'm not
(04:06):
paying for it. You get those two together and oh,
very very exciting.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Well, okay, so one person that makes the most on
this program more excited about free food than any of us.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I think it's genetic. I really think. I think it's
the way I'm hardwired. I don't want to sound racist here,
but it's very much of a Jew thing. Let me
tell you it really is. To this day. You can
ask Lindsey how I am still upset, and I mean
I go out of my mind being upset that by accident,
(04:44):
I once put in premium gas when we first this
was three years ago when I did that, and I
spent six dollars more than I should have. And we
still talk about my six dollars experience. We do. Actually,
that is an absolute true story. Okay, guys, are you
ready to do it? For this one day? And we're
waiting for the President to do his his speech major
(05:05):
statement on Russia. What time is that expected? Amy? Do
we know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
This morning?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay? Thank you? See this is why Amy is Amy.
All Right, welcome back, Amy. Okay, it's time for handling
the news and it's Amy, Neil and me lead story.
Going to judge, You're going to judge. The Trumpet administration is,
(05:31):
of course appealing the LA federal judge's decision on the
immigration raids and the judge said, no, you cannot pick
up people without reasonable suspicion just because of their race, ethnicity,
or occupation. And the Trump administration came back with no,
federal judge, he has the authority to dictate immigration policy
(05:54):
and that authority rest with Congress and the president. That's
according to the White House. I mean, here's the problem.
It's not a question of policy. It's a question of
is it constitutional as to what the government is doing.
And I guess if you talk about that somehow affecting policy. Yeah,
if the policy is unconstitutional, yes, then they're affecting policy.
So I don't get it. But the Trump administration is
(06:19):
going through the roof on this one. Oh and do
I have a story coming up at seven twenty about
mass deportation and what's going on. It's a story that
you're not expecting. Okay, that's coming up at seven twenty
this morning.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
To retaliate or not to retaliate, the European Union says
it will suspend retaliatory tariffs on US goods that we're
supposed to kick in today. The goal is to do
that to reach a trade deal with the Trump administration
before he slaps new thirty percent tariffs on the EU
(06:57):
on August first, over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, we'll see what's going on with that. You know.
One of the things I noticed as I was reading
this story is all of us were saying, and all
of us at some point you wake up in the
morning and where you're upset about something. You know, if
I were king of the world, this is what I
want to do. Well, Trump wakes up every morning and says,
if I were a king of the world. The point
is he is, and it's almost like, here's what I'm
(07:27):
going to do today. I'll show them, except he shows them.
So we're going to see what happens with the retaliation
August first, The bunch is supposed to kick in. Is
it going to happen. Who the hell knows Wednesday, some
terror's supposed to kick in. It's only Monday, so we've
got two fun days before any of those kick in.
(07:48):
I don't get it. Well, yes I do get it.
It's part of his negotiation. He wants to say this
is what I want. And it's not a question of
long term negotiation, which tariffs take. Take long term. I
mean there are teriff negotiations that go on for years
between countries, and it happens very very quickly in this administration.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
All right, President Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
His Border sar Tom Homan, responded to the reported death
of a Mexican farm worker following that big raid in
the Camerio ox Nard area that happened. The fatality there
that was all over the news. Jaime Alanis, fifty seven,
died on July twelve. These were from injuries sustained the
(08:34):
day before. To be clear, Ice he was not an
Ice custod custody, and Ice did not have his hands
on him. It seems that he was running from them,
fell off of thirty foot roof or something off I
think it was the greenhouse and broke his sadly, broke
his neck and died from those injuries. They've also found
(08:58):
it seems that rest law enforcement rescued at least ten
migrant children from what looks like exploitation force child labor,
potentially human trafficking or smuggling there at that location as well.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
All Right, we're going to be talking a whole lot
about immigration across the board, all the various aspects. And
as I said earlier at seven to twenty, I'm going
to give you one story that is that you have
not heard before, and I'm going to share that with you.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Searches are on hold as more rain hits Texas. Heavy
rains in Texas on Sunday caused rescue crews to have
to stop searching, which they've been doing for more than
a week along the Guadalope River. They've had some high
water rescues in other areas. In Kerrville, local officials, as
(09:48):
you have most likely heard, have come under a lot
of scrutiny about the warnings that were sent out to
residence for the first flooding over the fourth of July weekend.
So authorities were going door to door or to some
homes after midnight to let people know that flooding was
a possibility.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh, Yeah, there's going to be story after a story,
one of them being that Camp Mystic when they when
they built cabins, built them in the flood zone, I
mean right there where when there is a massive storm,
it floods at that point right there, and you cannot
(10:25):
build there. Yet they were given permission to build there.
It's there are the camp.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh one hundred years old, so in a hundred years
they never had problems.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh yeah, they've had problems several times.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well they did, and in.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Years ago Jim Ryan was telling us during wake up
call that Camp Mystic is the one who applied for
the exception to the flood zone being written, you know,
the maps being written the way that they were, which
allowed them to build.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Why would you want.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
To Well, because they owned the land already. You're right
next to the river and it's kind of neat being
next to the river until you drown, then it's not
so neat. Yeah, there's going to be And then there's
FEMA stories. And then there were requests to put sirens,
flood sirens up up at Camp Mystic and that was
(11:16):
turned down and the local authorities it's asked for it
and it said no. I mean it's it's going to
be this is going to be looked at with a
microscope as to what happened, and there's mistake after a mistake.
Usually when you see a catastrophe of this magnitude, it's
never one thing. It's always just something on top of something,
(11:38):
and it's incremental mistakes that are made, although there's some
massive ones this time. So we're gonna we're going to
certainly see this one dissected sat.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
All the way around.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Iran's a foreign minister said on Saturday that his country would,
you know, uh, be open to resuming talks nuclear talks
with the US if there were some assurances of no
more attacks against Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
So basically they're saying.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
You know, we're open to chat as long as you
don't beat us up anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You know, I truly don't understand some of these countries.
You know, here you have a country ron that has
some terrific people, very just a an economy that could explode,
people that are very smart. Well, a lot of countries
are very smart people. I mean there aren't the people
that have dumb people. But well, I mean that's not
true too, But it's you think that this is a
(12:37):
country that would Okay, we don't want atomic weapons, all right,
Let's go ahead and create ourselves a real country. We're
not going to get into involved in terrorism. We're not
going to fund this stuff. Let's build our economy, our infrastructure.
In the meantime, their economy is in a freefall. Ina
(13:00):
is out of control there, but they still have to
back up terrorists, although now because what Israel's done, they've
been decimated in their ability to actually fund terrorism because
all the organization they find that are basically gone because
Israel's just kicked the crap out of all of them.
So now they're quote, we're willing to talk. Okay, what
(13:23):
are they afraid that someone's going to bomb them with
a nuclear weapon? Is that it? Let's move on.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Ukraine is getting patriotic. President Trump's expected to announce sometime
this morning a new arms supply for Ukraine, including the
Patriot missile defense batteries. Trump says the NATO countries are
going to pay for it, or at least reimburse the
US for it. NATO Secretary General Mark Rudy has been
(13:53):
coordinating the plan and is meeting with the President Trump
this morning at the White House, and that announced that
could come anytime.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
The problem with this is the Patriot missile is a
defensive missile system. What it does is knock drones missiles
out of the sky as they're being launched. Putin, what
do you just do launch three thousand missiles and drones
in the last twenty four hours? What system is going
(14:23):
to defend against three thousand going off at once or
over a short period of time? And those missiles, every
one of those Patriot missiles are in hundreds of thousands
of dollars each and we look that up. Please, how
much each Patriot missile in and of itself costs? And
if you're talking thousands of them in one day, I
(14:45):
mean you're talking about breaking even the United States our
military budget much less everybody Else's all right, while we're waiting, dude,
I just threw that at HER's I should ask Siri that.
So she's asking Siri, all right, why don't we go
and take a break, and we're going to do this
really slowly? What four million, four million per missile?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Single Patriot interceptive missile costs approximately four million?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Oh, I was going to get one for your thirty
second anniversary coming up on Wednesday. We were all going
to sign it. Yeah, and it was going to say
listen to this, this is great. I was going to say,
you're the bomb.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh wow, I like that. Yeah. The entire system, including
launchers and components, can cause you know what, why don't
we do this? Why don't we It's oh yeah, it's crazy.
It's incompletely crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
The number of young children that have been sickened or
poisoned after getting their hands on nicotine products. This could
be you know, nicotine pouches or vape e liquids, all
those types of things. It's been skyrocketing. So from twenty
ten to through twenty twenty three, US poison centers reported
(15:59):
on thirty four, six hundred and sixty three cases of
nicotine poisoning among kids under the age of six.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yikes.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
And this study, which was published just today in Dealing
with Pediatrics, said nearly all occurred at home. So they've
got products like gum and lozenges, regular cigarettes, chewing tobacco.
Kids get their hands on it, and obviously it's too
intense and.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
They have to call poison control.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
You know, I understand vapes and cigarettes and nicotine patches.
I get that. Chewing tobacco who the hell does chewing tobacco?
Is that the chaw where you put a plug into
between your gum and your cheek right there at the
cancerous blister point to make sure that the tumor really
(16:56):
really grows, that hole really grows. And then how about
the spittoons? Aren't those strong today? Can you go on
Etsy and get a spatoon?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
What is zen?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'll bet you can't?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Kno, just said something, what's zen? Zen?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Is tobacco for you?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
But they're nicotine pouches that they're They're popular, very very disgusting, they.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Said, And can you check it out? Can you? Can
you get a spittoon from probably it would be Etsy
where you would find a spittoon, And I'll bet you
you can even have it monogrammed. Uh, you can put
your own initials, I'll bet you.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I'll just into your Budweiser can or.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You can go yeah, but that's really hard. So if
you can spit in your Budweiser can from ten feet away,
Now you're talking a very very talented guy or woman whichever. Okay,
moving on, she'll come in with the story. I'm throwing
a lot of stuff out of this morning.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Moving on a series of shootings. Two people were killed.
Three others have been hurt, including a state trooper in Kentucky.
It happened last yesterday, just before noon local time in Lexington, Kentucky.
They got a report that Kentucky's state trooper had been shot.
(18:16):
The guy had pulled over a vehicle after getting a
license plate reader alert in the area. The guy who
was charged in the shooting apparently shot the trooper, then
took off, carjacked a vehicle headed to a church, and
then opened fire on the church property, shooting four people,
including two women who died.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Why did they cover this and not the other fourteen
shootings that happened yesterday. Who makes a decision that one
is a national story and the other one is not.
Don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You want to know about the Spatoons?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yes I do, Yes, I do. On Amazon, Amazon was
on Hespatoons. And how much do they want in color?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Every design?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Of course they do.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Eight dollars. Okay, all the guys I knew just used popcns. Oh,
here's one for seven.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Wow, you hung.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Out with seventeen dollars for Spatoon?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's all players cowboys?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, of course of them. Yep. Moving on.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
This.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
You heard Amy King talking about this during the news
body of a three to five year old boy found
Saturday morning this weekend near a dumpster in Panorama City
and a parking lot there. There's an investigation obviously going on.
Please are referring to it as a horrific and heinous crime.
A homeless man a reportedly found the toddler had someone
(19:46):
call for help. It's unclear what condition the boy's body
was discovered in. I think Amy said that there was
some some witnesses that said they saw a car driving
away at some point in time. But just heinous and
I can only imagine what that would be like to discover.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, and the kid was, you know, probably murdered. Yeah,
it's beyond comprehension. Yeah, we had no idea. So they're
going to try to obviously identify the kid. Oh by
the way, just a quick just spinning off for a moment.
BBC News has just reported that bitcoin has hit one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh and you know what just quit? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, Cono, you bought bitcoin? Right?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I got bit coin?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
At what price? Did you buy a bitcoin?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I have a little at a twenty four thousand.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Seriously, you have bitcoin?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, twenty four thousand. So now it's one hundred and twenty.
It's only gone up one hundred thousand dollars per bitcoin,
and I still don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Are you gonna cash it out?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No? Wait, you know, wait till it hits two hundred
twenty thousand dollars, maybe a billion dollars, maybe a billion
gazillion dollars.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You got it, Bill Diamond hands.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
And you know when bitcoin first came out, and I
remember when bitcoin came out, you could buy several for
a penny.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, websites would actually give them away if you solve
those captures on the internet. What it's it's like c
x Y one two five and then so the website's
not a robot, they'll give you a bitcoin in like
two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So when was the last time it was over one
hundred thousand?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Never? I don't think it ever was was it?
Speaker 7 (21:36):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
This year? This year is when it hit over it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I mean, I just don't I don't get it. I
mean it hits forty thousands, I go, people are out
of their mind. Hit twenty thousands, I go, what are
you guys doing? There's nothing there. It's not even a coin.
There's nothing to hold on to. You can't even flip
it as it heads or.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Tails, papers, nothing, nothing's nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Except that's not true because when you look at the
way we give meaning to but hang on hold is valuable, Okay,
hang on it. Yeah. I don't get it either. Gold
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
All.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, you can. It's a door if you know you
buy a gold in it. At least it's a doorstop. Okay,
that it works. What I don't understand when they say
when people say, well, your dollar bill or one hundred
dollars bill is only a piece of paper. No, it
is the government of the United States standing behind it.
There behind it. It is a real economy. There's a
(22:26):
there there. With bitcoin or any of the cryptocurrencies, there's
nothing there. There's no there there one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars per bitcoin right now. Normally I would say, Cono,
you're a moron for buying it, okay, And it's hard
to say you are a moron for because when you
(22:48):
bought it a twenty four thousand, it's only increased one
hundred thousand dollars for that coin. Yeah, what are you
doing working here? You're out of your mind.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Well, I didn't buy one.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I didn't have twenty four thousand dollars to buy a
full one.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What did you get? You got a slice of it?
Speaker 5 (23:02):
I'm still poor.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, I guess you can buy slices, right, yeah, yeah,
slices of dices?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, Uh, it done fell out.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
The La Sheriff's Department says they're missing a department issued
assault style rifle and one hundred and fifty rounds of
AMMO from a trunk of a patrol vehicle. They discovered
it Saturday night. The Colt M four rifle had been
stored in the trunk of a patrol vehicle. It is
believed to have fallen out in transit.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
How do you fall out in transit? Does the door
fly over? Aren't those things locked into place? Those assault weapons?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Well, it was in a It was in a black
hard shell storage case, along with five magazines of AMMO.
So again, about one hundred and fifty rounds of EMMA.
Not sure how it would have fallen out of.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
A trump I don't know either. I kind of like
the acronym though, what is it info? It done fall out?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Us President Donald Trump has defended Pam Bondi, who she's
the America's highest ranking prosecutor. Course, but she is getting
pelted a man. You've got growing calls for the President's
supporters from the President's supporters rather for her to resign.
This all has to do with evidence, or the lack thereof,
(24:35):
of the Epstein case. And you've got Trump hitting out
at complaints from critics because, as handle Is pointed out
in the past, she said she did, I've got it
on my desk.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I've got all this infragat that list there.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
In that list of people who are on his his
list of people that hung out with him. And then
the government comes out and says, no, it really isn't
a list, and the MAGA followers are the Magas people
are screaming there is a listing, You're hiding it to
protect the big players, and blaming the administration for hiding
(25:11):
it and blaming Trump for protecting Bondi, who said the
list doesn't exist. It's a fight within.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
The switches are safe.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
That's what the FAA is saying to its international counterparts.
After that crash of the Dreamliner, the Air India Flight
one seventy one, as you'll recall that crash shortly after
takeoff on June twelfth. Boeing Aeroplanes say the switches are
(25:44):
not a safety issue, and the reason the switches are
an issue is because in the cockpit voice recording from
flight one seventy one, one of the pilots is heard
asking why did you cut off when he responded that
he did not do so. And that's because apparently there
is a locking mechanism on the fuel switches, and Air
(26:06):
India didn't take didn't inspect that fuel switch before it
took off, and.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
The preliminary investigation showed that it was on the off
switch when the plane crashed. So ostensibly the plane was
taking off fine, no problem, and then a few hundred
feet in the air, all of a sudden, someone ostensibly
again flipped the switch, cutting off fuel and there's no
(26:32):
fuel in the engine when it's a few hundred feet up,
I mean there's no time to get it going again,
or I mean there's no time to what's the word
I'm looking for on this one restart the engine? Thank you? Yeah,
but it's yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
It was the weirdest thing, right though, because it just
looked like it kind of it didn't dive or anything.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It just sort of floated.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It ran out of fuel and just down it went.
You know, so we're we're gonna see what happens with
that switch. All right, here's some good news for John Elway. Yeah,
cover recover. There was no time to recover. Thank you
very much, Bill, okay, John Elway news.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Gosh, it's like being there for a birth.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway won't be charged in
the golf cart death of his business partner.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
This happened back in April.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says that the the investigation
found nothing criminal and ruled it just a tragic accident.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
We kind of felt like that was coming.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, what why was there a question? A guy falls
out of a golf cart, hits his head, you know,
a horrible accident and dies. Okay, where is the criminality there?
No matter who's involved.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Have you got a business partner Jeffrey Spurlock and or
Spurback brother and you got a business partner and he
dies at your hand?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Sort of ish?
Speaker 6 (27:56):
You know, maybe they like if savill just you guys
went out on a golf cart and savile ended up dead.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I would I question that.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That's get the.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Entire possible way.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
A golf cart with me.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You guys golfing, I think we're oh.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Real quickly, here's something I didn't even know.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Amy, I didn't know this either, But it's official. Now
we love our eagles. The eagle is now the official
bird of the United States, nearly two hundred and fifty
years after it was first used as our symbol of
freedom in the United States. Legislation made the eagle official
came from members of Minnesota's congressional delegation. The federal act
(28:39):
recognizes the eagles centrality in most Indigenous people's spiritual lives
and sacred belief systems.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
What does it have to do with it? It's the American symbol.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Was it always been?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, you think so, but I guess it was. It
was not thought it was.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I thought it was the national bird official.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I don't think to this point. I guess not. It
was not the official bird. I mean, we've got official
we have we have official hamburger days, official cheeseburger days.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh it's mac and cheese day, by the way.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
See there you see exactly. That's my point. But the
the eagle and Nate. By the way, it uh many
Native American Indians, of course it is sacra sank to me.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Did you use the feathers for graduations and certain ceremonial
and they take.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Them out and the eagle scream When you pull a
feather out of it. It's just like pulling a hair
out of your nose.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Stop doing that, very painful.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Pardon, don't pull the nose hairs out of you. Wait,
what are we arguing about.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
There was no official bird before this.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Oh wow, goes to show you man, we've been going
around with no official bird Man.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Game over. You've been listening to The Bill Handle Show.

You were in Oregon. How was the weather in Oregon?
It was uh gorgeous?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah? It was.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It was sunny in ninety ninety five.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Oh yeah, that's nice. It was like here a little humid,
little SCHITZI no, not at all. No, I like og
Oregon is great. But problem is s Pacific Northwest. So
it's as beautiful as it is. First of all, you
talk about wokeism, that's on a level that's unbelievable in Oregon,
and it's i'mtunately it's too gray. You know. People, it's
(01:57):
not a good place if you're suicidal. You don't want
to get near any of their bridges, which they have
plenty of them. In any case, Welcome back and cono,
welcome back. Oh no, you weren't gone, No, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (02:10):

twenty years, but he is, you know, Happy birthday, Dad.
We're having dinner. We writing worms and we're going to
enjoy ourselves. Neil, good morning.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
You know when you said, you know, I'm not a
jerk or whatever, I'm bill handled. That reminds you remember
the OJ quote, I'm not black, I'm oj Yeah you remember. Yeah,
he was like when they were talking about him being.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, he wasn't. He wasn't very black when you think
about it, certainly not any kind of a black culture
if you believe, if you believe, yeah, if it's true,
but if you believe there is a black culture, which
I do, by the way, I believe there are cultures
of many many different ethnicity. Of course there are, but
it sounds racist if I got to that point, now
(03:16):
you know where come on? Really all right?
Speaker 6 (03:18):
I actually think it's the opposite. I think most people
have problems with cultures and.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Not Okay, oh by that, Yeah, why don't we you
know what, why don't we get into a heavy metaphysical
discussion at six o'clock in the morning. What do you think? Huh?
Neil's do it? Yeah, And then there's Will Cole Schreiber,
who we couldn't get into metaphysical discussion if we try to. Will,
by the way, that was not a that was not
(03:42):
a you know, I hit on your intelligence. Actually it
was anyway. As always, we start with Will's part of
the crew, and and good morning Anne, Good morning, Bill,
good morning. And then on Wednesday, Oh am, I excited
about Wednesday? Why am I excited about Wednesday? Brand is
coming in with a full breakfast smear and I'm not
(04:06):
paying for it. You get those two together and oh,
very very exciting.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Well, okay, so one person that makes the most on
this program more excited about free food than any of us.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I think it's genetic. I really think. I think it's
the way I'm hardwired. I don't want to sound racist here,
but it's very much of a Jew thing. Let me
tell you it really is. To this day. You can
ask Lindsey how I am still upset, and I mean
I go out of my mind being upset that by accident,
(04:44):
I once put in premium gas when we first this
was three years ago when I did that, and I
spent six dollars more than I should have. And we
still talk about my six dollars experience. We do. Actually,
that is an absolute true story. Okay, guys, are you
ready to do it? For this one day? And we're
waiting for the President to do his his speech major
(05:05):
statement on Russia. What time is that expected? Amy? Do
we know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
This morning?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay? Thank you? See this is why Amy is Amy.
All Right, welcome back, Amy. Okay, it's time for handling
the news and it's Amy, Neil and me lead story.
Going to judge, You're going to judge. The Trumpet administration is,
(05:31):
of course appealing the LA federal judge's decision on the
immigration raids and the judge said, no, you cannot pick
up people without reasonable suspicion just because of their race, ethnicity,
or occupation. And the Trump administration came back with no,
federal judge, he has the authority to dictate immigration policy
(05:54):
and that authority rest with Congress and the president. That's
according to the White House. I mean, here's the problem.
It's not a question of policy. It's a question of
is it constitutional as to what the government is doing.
And I guess if you talk about that somehow affecting policy. Yeah,
if the policy is unconstitutional, yes, then they're affecting policy.
So I don't get it. But the Trump administration is
(06:19):
going through the roof on this one. Oh and do
I have a story coming up at seven twenty about
mass deportation and what's going on. It's a story that
you're not expecting. Okay, that's coming up at seven twenty
this morning.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
To retaliate or not to retaliate, the European Union says
it will suspend retaliatory tariffs on US goods that we're
supposed to kick in today. The goal is to do
that to reach a trade deal with the Trump administration
before he slaps new thirty percent tariffs on the EU
(06:57):
on August first, over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah, we'll see what's going on with that. You know.
One of the things I noticed as I was reading
this story is all of us were saying, and all
of us at some point you wake up in the
morning and where you're upset about something. You know, if
I were king of the world, this is what I
want to do. Well, Trump wakes up every morning and says,
if I were a king of the world. The point
is he is, and it's almost like, here's what I'm
(07:27):
going to do today. I'll show them, except he shows them.
So we're going to see what happens with the retaliation
August first, The bunch is supposed to kick in. Is
it going to happen. Who the hell knows Wednesday, some
terror's supposed to kick in. It's only Monday, so we've
got two fun days before any of those kick in.
(07:48):
I don't get it. Well, yes I do get it.
It's part of his negotiation. He wants to say this
is what I want. And it's not a question of
long term negotiation, which tariffs take. Take long term. I
mean there are teriff negotiations that go on for years
between countries, and it happens very very quickly in this administration.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
All right, President Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
His Border sar Tom Homan, responded to the reported death
of a Mexican farm worker following that big raid in
the Camerio ox Nard area that happened. The fatality there
that was all over the news. Jaime Alanis, fifty seven,
died on July twelve. These were from injuries sustained the
(08:34):
day before. To be clear, Ice he was not an
Ice custod custody, and Ice did not have his hands
on him. It seems that he was running from them,
fell off of thirty foot roof or something off I
think it was the greenhouse and broke his sadly, broke
his neck and died from those injuries. They've also found
(08:58):
it seems that rest law enforcement rescued at least ten
migrant children from what looks like exploitation force child labor,
potentially human trafficking or smuggling there at that location as well.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
All Right, we're going to be talking a whole lot
about immigration across the board, all the various aspects. And
as I said earlier at seven to twenty, I'm going
to give you one story that is that you have
not heard before, and I'm going to share that with you.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Searches are on hold as more rain hits Texas. Heavy
rains in Texas on Sunday caused rescue crews to have
to stop searching, which they've been doing for more than
a week along the Guadalope River. They've had some high
water rescues in other areas. In Kerrville, local officials, as
(09:48):
you have most likely heard, have come under a lot
of scrutiny about the warnings that were sent out to
residence for the first flooding over the fourth of July weekend.
So authorities were going door to door or to some
homes after midnight to let people know that flooding was
a possibility.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh, Yeah, there's going to be story after a story,
one of them being that Camp Mystic when they when
they built cabins, built them in the flood zone, I
mean right there where when there is a massive storm,
it floods at that point right there, and you cannot
(10:25):
build there. Yet they were given permission to build there.
It's there are the camp.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Oh one hundred years old, so in a hundred years
they never had problems.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Oh yeah, they've had problems several times.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Well they did, and in.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Years ago Jim Ryan was telling us during wake up
call that Camp Mystic is the one who applied for
the exception to the flood zone being written, you know,
the maps being written the way that they were, which
allowed them to build.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Why would you want.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
To Well, because they owned the land already. You're right
next to the river and it's kind of neat being
next to the river until you drown, then it's not
so neat. Yeah, there's going to be And then there's
FEMA stories. And then there were requests to put sirens,
flood sirens up up at Camp Mystic and that was
(11:16):
turned down and the local authorities it's asked for it
and it said no. I mean it's it's going to
be this is going to be looked at with a
microscope as to what happened, and there's mistake after a mistake.
Usually when you see a catastrophe of this magnitude, it's
never one thing. It's always just something on top of something,
(11:38):
and it's incremental mistakes that are made, although there's some
massive ones this time. So we're gonna we're going to
certainly see this one dissected sat.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
All the way around.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Iran's a foreign minister said on Saturday that his country would,
you know, uh, be open to resuming talks nuclear talks
with the US if there were some assurances of no
more attacks against Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
So basically they're saying.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
You know, we're open to chat as long as you
don't beat us up anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You know, I truly don't understand some of these countries.
You know, here you have a country ron that has
some terrific people, very just a an economy that could explode,
people that are very smart. Well, a lot of countries
are very smart people. I mean there aren't the people
that have dumb people. But well, I mean that's not
true too, But it's you think that this is a
(12:37):
country that would Okay, we don't want atomic weapons, all right,
Let's go ahead and create ourselves a real country. We're
not going to get into involved in terrorism. We're not
going to fund this stuff. Let's build our economy, our infrastructure.
In the meantime, their economy is in a freefall. Ina
(13:00):
is out of control there, but they still have to
back up terrorists, although now because what Israel's done, they've
been decimated in their ability to actually fund terrorism because
all the organization they find that are basically gone because
Israel's just kicked the crap out of all of them.
So now they're quote, we're willing to talk. Okay, what
(13:23):
are they afraid that someone's going to bomb them with
a nuclear weapon? Is that it? Let's move on.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Ukraine is getting patriotic. President Trump's expected to announce sometime
this morning a new arms supply for Ukraine, including the
Patriot missile defense batteries. Trump says the NATO countries are
going to pay for it, or at least reimburse the
US for it. NATO Secretary General Mark Rudy has been
(13:53):
coordinating the plan and is meeting with the President Trump
this morning at the White House, and that announced that
could come anytime.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
The problem with this is the Patriot missile is a
defensive missile system. What it does is knock drones missiles
out of the sky as they're being launched. Putin, what
do you just do launch three thousand missiles and drones
in the last twenty four hours? What system is going
(14:23):
to defend against three thousand going off at once or
over a short period of time? And those missiles, every
one of those Patriot missiles are in hundreds of thousands
of dollars each and we look that up. Please, how
much each Patriot missile in and of itself costs? And
if you're talking thousands of them in one day, I
(14:45):
mean you're talking about breaking even the United States our
military budget much less everybody Else's all right, while we're waiting, dude,
I just threw that at HER's I should ask Siri that.
So she's asking Siri, all right, why don't we go
and take a break, and we're going to do this
really slowly? What four million, four million per missile?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Single Patriot interceptive missile costs approximately four million?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Oh, I was going to get one for your thirty
second anniversary coming up on Wednesday. We were all going
to sign it. Yeah, and it was going to say
listen to this, this is great. I was going to say,
you're the bomb.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh wow, I like that. Yeah. The entire system, including
launchers and components, can cause you know what, why don't
we do this? Why don't we It's oh yeah, it's crazy.
It's incompletely crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
The number of young children that have been sickened or
poisoned after getting their hands on nicotine products. This could
be you know, nicotine pouches or vape e liquids, all
those types of things. It's been skyrocketing. So from twenty
ten to through twenty twenty three, US poison centers reported
(15:59):
on thirty four, six hundred and sixty three cases of
nicotine poisoning among kids under the age of six.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Yikes.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
And this study, which was published just today in Dealing
with Pediatrics, said nearly all occurred at home. So they've
got products like gum and lozenges, regular cigarettes, chewing tobacco.
Kids get their hands on it, and obviously it's too
intense and.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
They have to call poison control.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
You know, I understand vapes and cigarettes and nicotine patches.
I get that. Chewing tobacco who the hell does chewing tobacco?
Is that the chaw where you put a plug into
between your gum and your cheek right there at the
cancerous blister point to make sure that the tumor really
(16:56):
really grows, that hole really grows. And then how about
the spittoons? Aren't those strong today? Can you go on
Etsy and get a spatoon?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
What is zen?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
I'll bet you can't?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Kno, just said something, what's zen? Zen?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Is tobacco for you?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
But they're nicotine pouches that they're They're popular, very very disgusting, they.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Said, And can you check it out? Can you? Can
you get a spittoon from probably it would be Etsy
where you would find a spittoon, And I'll bet you
you can even have it monogrammed. Uh, you can put
your own initials, I'll bet you.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
I'll just into your Budweiser can or.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You can go yeah, but that's really hard. So if
you can spit in your Budweiser can from ten feet away,
Now you're talking a very very talented guy or woman whichever. Okay,
moving on, she'll come in with the story. I'm throwing
a lot of stuff out of this morning.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
Moving on a series of shootings. Two people were killed.
Three others have been hurt, including a state trooper in Kentucky.
It happened last yesterday, just before noon local time in Lexington, Kentucky.
They got a report that Kentucky's state trooper had been shot.
(18:16):
The guy had pulled over a vehicle after getting a
license plate reader alert in the area. The guy who
was charged in the shooting apparently shot the trooper, then
took off, carjacked a vehicle headed to a church, and
then opened fire on the church property, shooting four people,
including two women who died.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Why did they cover this and not the other fourteen
shootings that happened yesterday. Who makes a decision that one
is a national story and the other one is not.
Don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You want to know about the Spatoons?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yes I do, Yes, I do. On Amazon, Amazon was
on Hespatoons. And how much do they want in color?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Every design?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Of course they do.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Eight dollars. Okay, all the guys I knew just used popcns. Oh,
here's one for seven.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Wow, you hung.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Out with seventeen dollars for Spatoon?
Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's all players cowboys?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, of course of them. Yep. Moving on.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
This.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
You heard Amy King talking about this during the news
body of a three to five year old boy found
Saturday morning this weekend near a dumpster in Panorama City
and a parking lot there. There's an investigation obviously going on.
Please are referring to it as a horrific and heinous crime.
A homeless man a reportedly found the toddler had someone
(19:46):
call for help. It's unclear what condition the boy's body
was discovered in. I think Amy said that there was
some some witnesses that said they saw a car driving
away at some point in time. But just heinous and
I can only imagine what that would be like to discover.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, and the kid was, you know, probably murdered. Yeah,
it's beyond comprehension. Yeah, we had no idea. So they're
going to try to obviously identify the kid. Oh by
the way, just a quick just spinning off for a moment.
BBC News has just reported that bitcoin has hit one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Oh and you know what just quit? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah, Cono, you bought bitcoin? Right?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
I got bit coin?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
At what price? Did you buy a bitcoin?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I have a little at a twenty four thousand.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Seriously, you have bitcoin?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, twenty four thousand. So now it's one hundred and twenty.
It's only gone up one hundred thousand dollars per bitcoin,
and I still don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Are you gonna cash it out?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
No? Wait, you know, wait till it hits two hundred
twenty thousand dollars, maybe a billion dollars, maybe a billion
gazillion dollars.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
You got it, Bill Diamond hands.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
And you know when bitcoin first came out, and I
remember when bitcoin came out, you could buy several for
a penny.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, websites would actually give them away if you solve
those captures on the internet. What it's it's like c
x Y one two five and then so the website's
not a robot, they'll give you a bitcoin in like
two thousand and eight.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So when was the last time it was over one
hundred thousand?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Never? I don't think it ever was was it?
Speaker 7 (21:36):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
This year? This year is when it hit over it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
I mean, I just don't I don't get it. I
mean it hits forty thousands, I go, people are out
of their mind. Hit twenty thousands, I go, what are
you guys doing? There's nothing there. It's not even a coin.
There's nothing to hold on to. You can't even flip
it as it heads or.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Tails, papers, nothing, nothing's nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Except that's not true because when you look at the
way we give meaning to but hang on hold is valuable, Okay,
hang on it. Yeah. I don't get it either. Gold
I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
All.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Yeah, you can. It's a door if you know you
buy a gold in it. At least it's a doorstop. Okay,
that it works. What I don't understand when they say
when people say, well, your dollar bill or one hundred
dollars bill is only a piece of paper. No, it
is the government of the United States standing behind it.
There behind it. It is a real economy. There's a
(22:26):
there there. With bitcoin or any of the cryptocurrencies, there's
nothing there. There's no there there one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars per bitcoin right now. Normally I would say, Cono,
you're a moron for buying it, okay, And it's hard
to say you are a moron for because when you
(22:48):
bought it a twenty four thousand, it's only increased one
hundred thousand dollars for that coin. Yeah, what are you
doing working here? You're out of your mind.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Well, I didn't buy one.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
I didn't have twenty four thousand dollars to buy a
full one.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
What did you get? You got a slice of it?
Speaker 5 (23:02):
I'm still poor.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, I guess you can buy slices, right, yeah, yeah,
slices of dices?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Okay, Uh, it done fell out.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
The La Sheriff's Department says they're missing a department issued
assault style rifle and one hundred and fifty rounds of
AMMO from a trunk of a patrol vehicle. They discovered
it Saturday night. The Colt M four rifle had been
stored in the trunk of a patrol vehicle. It is
believed to have fallen out in transit.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
How do you fall out in transit? Does the door
fly over? Aren't those things locked into place? Those assault weapons?
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Well, it was in a It was in a black
hard shell storage case, along with five magazines of AMMO.
So again, about one hundred and fifty rounds of EMMA.
Not sure how it would have fallen out of.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
A trump I don't know either. I kind of like
the acronym though, what is it info? It done fall out?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yeah? All right?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Us President Donald Trump has defended Pam Bondi, who she's
the America's highest ranking prosecutor. Course, but she is getting
pelted a man. You've got growing calls for the President's
supporters from the President's supporters rather for her to resign.
This all has to do with evidence, or the lack thereof,
(24:35):
of the Epstein case. And you've got Trump hitting out
at complaints from critics because, as handle Is pointed out
in the past, she said she did, I've got it
on my desk.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I've got all this infragat that list there.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
In that list of people who are on his his
list of people that hung out with him. And then
the government comes out and says, no, it really isn't
a list, and the MAGA followers are the Magas people
are screaming there is a listing, You're hiding it to
protect the big players, and blaming the administration for hiding
(25:11):
it and blaming Trump for protecting Bondi, who said the
list doesn't exist. It's a fight within.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
The switches are safe.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
That's what the FAA is saying to its international counterparts.
After that crash of the Dreamliner, the Air India Flight
one seventy one, as you'll recall that crash shortly after
takeoff on June twelfth. Boeing Aeroplanes say the switches are
(25:44):
not a safety issue, and the reason the switches are
an issue is because in the cockpit voice recording from
flight one seventy one, one of the pilots is heard
asking why did you cut off when he responded that
he did not do so. And that's because apparently there
is a locking mechanism on the fuel switches, and Air
(26:06):
India didn't take didn't inspect that fuel switch before it
took off, and.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
The preliminary investigation showed that it was on the off
switch when the plane crashed. So ostensibly the plane was
taking off fine, no problem, and then a few hundred
feet in the air, all of a sudden, someone ostensibly
again flipped the switch, cutting off fuel and there's no
(26:32):
fuel in the engine when it's a few hundred feet up,
I mean there's no time to get it going again,
or I mean there's no time to what's the word
I'm looking for on this one restart the engine? Thank you? Yeah,
but it's yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 7 (26:50):
It was the weirdest thing, right though, because it just
looked like it kind of it didn't dive or anything.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It just sort of floated.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It ran out of fuel and just down it went.
You know, so we're we're gonna see what happens with
that switch. All right, here's some good news for John Elway. Yeah,
cover recover. There was no time to recover. Thank you
very much, Bill, okay, John Elway news.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Gosh, it's like being there for a birth.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway won't be charged in
the golf cart death of his business partner.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
This happened back in April.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says that the the investigation
found nothing criminal and ruled it just a tragic accident.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
We kind of felt like that was coming.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, what why was there a question? A guy falls
out of a golf cart, hits his head, you know,
a horrible accident and dies. Okay, where is the criminality there?
No matter who's involved.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Have you got a business partner Jeffrey Spurlock and or
Spurback brother and you got a business partner and he
dies at your hand?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Sort of ish?
Speaker 6 (27:56):
You know, maybe they like if savill just you guys
went out on a golf cart and savile ended up dead.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
I would I question that.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That's get the.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Entire possible way.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
A golf cart with me.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You guys golfing, I think we're oh.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Real quickly, here's something I didn't even know.
Speaker 7 (28:17):
Amy, I didn't know this either, But it's official. Now
we love our eagles. The eagle is now the official
bird of the United States, nearly two hundred and fifty
years after it was first used as our symbol of
freedom in the United States. Legislation made the eagle official
came from members of Minnesota's congressional delegation. The federal act
(28:39):
recognizes the eagles centrality in most Indigenous people's spiritual lives
and sacred belief systems.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
What does it have to do with it? It's the American symbol.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Was it always been?
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, you think so, but I guess it was. It
was not thought it was.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I thought it was the national bird official.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I don't think to this point. I guess not. It
was not the official bird. I mean, we've got official
we have we have official hamburger days, official cheeseburger days.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Oh it's mac and cheese day, by the way.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
See there you see exactly. That's my point. But the
the eagle and Nate. By the way, it uh many
Native American Indians, of course it is sacra sank to me.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Did you use the feathers for graduations and certain ceremonial
and they take.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Them out and the eagle scream When you pull a
feather out of it. It's just like pulling a hair
out of your nose.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Stop doing that, very painful.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Pardon, don't pull the nose hairs out of you. Wait,
what are we arguing about.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
There was no official bird before this.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Oh wow, goes to show you man, we've been going
around with no official bird Man.
