Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI A M six forty. The Bill
handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
F and now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen,
here's bill handle.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Al No, here we go, I dare you?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I go?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah? I didn't turn on the mic. Sorry about that? Yes,
every time. No, yesterday we had all kinds of mic
problems and I was turning things on and off, and
uh so he's.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
No different in other things. People ask, you know, hey,
does that happened all the time? I said, I've sat
in the car with him for an hour and a
half because he forgot to turn it on.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Pretty much. Kno, how's the signal coming through? Are in
good shape?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, you're good. You should mute your zoom though, if
you could.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, I could do that.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
He put on some pants.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah no, well, no, that's out of the question because
you can't see me above the waist. And remember that
we are when we auctioned off the broadcast for a
listener to come to join us. How'd that do? By
the way, it looks like we are going to finish
up in fifty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Holy Oh, that's like eleven thousand more than yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, it is. We finally figured it all out. People.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Did you want to take a minute and call John
Cobalt and Gary and Shannon?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I mean, because I don't know if they're awake.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Gary. Yeah, but that's pretty Although, come on, and it's
not exactly fair. You can't. I mean, think about this.
We're gonna have people come over to the house, so
two an extra two or four instead of two? Wow,
that would be four, but I think we have six
people coming. It's not like taking six people to a
ball game. Someone's got to sit with somebody. So it's
(02:19):
really not apples and oranges. But the apples are pretty
impressive in this case. To say the least fifty two
thousand dollars for people to have lunch with us. Wow, Okay,
I don't get it. Yeah, we'll take it, you know you,
we'll take it. That could be the single, well, certainly
(02:39):
is the biggest KFI item we've ever done. It could
be the biggest iHeart item.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Now I'm gonna have to carry it because you know,
ten minutes in Bill's gonna go I'm bored.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, go go up to the room, no question, about it,
but anyway, part of one of the great things we
can do, and this is what we're offering, not only
the barbecue, but the night set from Lake Industries, you know,
the gourmet and I've set a couple thousand dollars worth
and Zella.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Joking aside, it's incredibly incredibly generous for you to open
your home.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I was you because we're close, but it's incredibly generous.
I've never heard any host do anything close to that
before we.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Did that, and we thought we could actually we thought
we could raise some real money for Katerina's Club. And
we've been talking about you and I have been talking
about barbecuing or grilling at my house now you months
and months and doing a broadcast out of the house
where we wouldn't wouldn't be an event. It would simply
(03:42):
be the broadcast because of grilling and the green egg
and just making a big deal out about it. But
for the Fork Report, and it became an easy It
became an easy hit at that point saying, hey, tell
you what, why don't we use it as a as
an auction? I am And that's how that evolved. So
it was it was a fairly easy call and we
get We thought we would get fifteen twenty thousand dollars
(04:06):
at the outside. You remember we had that conversation we
ended up we ended up with fifty two thousand. So, uh,
you know, what can I tell you? All right, let's
say hello to everybody before we start. Neil just said hello,
good morning. And Anne, who was wearing her chargers up, Oh, no, kidding,
(04:26):
put it down all dr. I didn't see it. It
was good, Okay, I assume that means it was cakes, right, paint.
They basically went into overtime. Did they get their W?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, they got the W and ended an interception thanks
to a pick.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Now, when you talk about a kit a pick, it's
different with Hispanic players.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Right, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, that's that's that's several that's several levels somewhere else. Yeah,
that is several levels removed in terms of where that
humor went. Good morning, Cono, Good morning Bill. Hey, Amy's
still wondering what the hell went that one? You got
to ask Amy, Oh, don't leave it alone. Let's just
(05:16):
leave it alone, all right. Well, good morning, good morning Bill. Yeah,
we were talking this morning about how much weight I've
lost and Anne has lost in divorces, et cetera. And
I'm down to what one hundred and eighty six No, No,
I am, I am. Well, No, my divorce is done.
But we still have I know, just the way you
(05:36):
said that. Yeah, no, we still have, you know, some
financial stuff. Not not acrimoniously at all, just figuring it out.
I mean, my divorce with Marjorie is we're still very
close and we're very good friends, so that's not a problem.
Just trying to figure out, you know, some of the
last finance stuff because I didn't accountant. That just didn't
do a good job for me in any case. So
(05:57):
I've lost a lot of weight. I'm down to one
hundred and eighty six pounds. And she's not going to.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Take half of the money you raised for Caterina's Club, No.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Two thousand. That was the other issue that she was
going to take it. And I said, you can't do
it because it's for a charity. And she said, frankly,
my dear, I don't give a damn. She had just
watched Gone with the Wind, Good morning, Will, good morning,
and Amy Kno, I got everybody there, Okay, fair enough,
(06:29):
let's see what's going on. So we got the games
we got. I'm trying not to do trying as hard
as we can not to do Trump news. And we're
going to no not in handle on the news. We're
talking about segments in general. I mean, well, yeah, you
talk about okay, well, how about this, it's infiltrated everything. Okay, Okay,
(06:50):
I understood. How about this. What's our first story coming
out in the news, And that's right, it's time for
a handle on the news.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I'm just going to start having you to talk about
things that really just don't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Right Amy, Neil and me. And that's the lead story
is Supreme Court. Yesterday it looked like they're going to
allow the president to fire the head of the Federal
Trade Commission. And this a big deal is being made.
And it should be made of the fact that the
(07:27):
independence of the FTC and the FAA and this when
it became all these very Vpa et cetera, that Congress
said that they should be independent, and what the president
doing he fired the FTC in direct violation of that,
took it to Supreme Court because of course lawsuits by
the fire people were fired is coming up, and it
(07:50):
looks like the court is going to say Congress did
not have the right to do that, that the president
constitutionally has effectively unbridled power because this is the executive branch.
What the uh, the FTC head is saying, even though
I work for you, you can't fire me, and it's
not civil service protected either.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Who is the who is the oversight for the alphabet soup?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, that's the whole point. The oversight should be the
executive works for the executive And that's exactly Uh, that's
exactly what the Justice said. Kavanaugh said this and asked
that question, where is the oversight here? If someone is
appointed head of an agency like the FTC, who is
the oversight? Who does that person report to nobody?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Well, then they have ultimate power. Who the person that
doesn't report to anyone?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
That is correct? And that's exactly what the Kavanaugh said, Uh,
And that person works for the president. So you know,
and you may agree or disagree, and I think a
lot of people disagree simply because as President Trump arguing
for his powers and he's stretching the power, and the
Supreme Court is a big fan of presidential power. It
just so happens this fan, this court happens they'd be
(09:08):
a big fan. So we'll see and so you're going
to see this law. And now Kevin all also pointed
out or I think it was Justice Roberts, No, it
was Kavanaugh who said, you know, this law was passed
nineteen thirty five when these agencies look nothing like they
do today and the enormous powers these agencies have, and
that is not was not the intent or should not
(09:29):
have been the intent. All right, Moving on to cut
or not to cut, said the moil.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
FED watchers are expecting a third.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Rate cut when the FED opens its doors for meetings
their meeting today and tomorrow, and we'll find out tomorrow
if there will be a rate cut for December. It's
not guaranteed, said Chairman Jerome Powell at the last meeting.
Several FED officials have cautioned that the potential tariff driven
inflation pressures shouldn't be dismissed and saying, hey, you know,
(10:01):
things are actually you know, the economy is growing, Equity
markets are all time highs, Unemployment remains very low. So
it doesn't appear that we really.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Need Yeah, we don't. We don't need a ky The
FED cuts or raises the race depending on the factors.
You just talked about, and all these factors indicate no cut.
Yet they're probably going to cut, said the oil.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
All right, speaking of cuts, this has to deal with
the FBI. You have agents twelve to be exact, filing
a lawsuit against the FBI and the DOJ. Their whole
concern goes back to twenty twenty during a lot of
racial justice protests and some of these or these agents
taking a knee, and the minute Cash Betel and Attorney
(10:50):
General Pam Bondi got into their positions, they started focusing
on getting rid of people in this category.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
So says the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, a very interesting the argument of lawsuit. First of all,
that was an investigation by the FBI of its own agents,
cleared of all wrongdoing. Also, the argument is that the agents,
and this is again the lawsuit, avoided triggering violence by
assuming a kneeling posture. It was a de escalation move
(11:21):
which brought down the temperature. And Patella is saying you
took a knee relative to what all of I think
was this during a demonstration.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
What would have been during the George Lloyd protests.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, And so that's their argument that what we
did is de escalate and cash Betel is saying, too bad.
I mean, it's obviously political. The lawsuit also says argues
that they would not have been fired if they had
political affiliations that were in line with the January sixth defendants.
(11:56):
That's what the lawsuit says.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Just say, you're Catholic and you're praying, Yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Could do that, or you play football and you're praying,
you know, Or you played football and you discovered that
the sun really was the center of the innverse. Colin Kapernik, right, Pernicas, Okay,
that's a strike. That's another one. Amy, Yeah, that's another stretch.
It didn't quite work.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, I didn't get that one either.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Now I understand, Yeah, I got it, okay.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Trump's version of farm aid. The President rolled out a
twelve billion dollar bailout for struggling farmers yesterday, did a
ceremony at the White House, actually a round table at
the White House. He said, we love our farmers, as
you know, the farmers like me. When you put stuff
like that in, it corrects me up. The payments to
the farmers are going to be made by the end
(12:44):
of February. Trump said the money was a small portion
of the revenue the US is taken in from tariffs,
although he said the tariffs made the payments possible. It
was the tariffs that have the farmers kind of struggling
right now.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, no kidding. Now, are the tariffs being used to
fund this, We don't know. It comes straight out of
the taxpayer, out of the taxpayers, the general it goes
into the general find So I guess that's true. But
the point of this one is he couldn't let this
continue on because he was going to lose the entire
farming community. And all of a sudden, look at the
(13:20):
exceptions that are being placed on these tariffs. Well, we'll
take this one back. We'll take that one back. It's
being super selective of terrorifts, which actually is what should
be done instead of these broad strokes. That's it. We're
done China ten percent across the board fifteen percent, which
is still happening, all right.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
So Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski met with the leaders from France,
Germany and UK in London yesterday and we had talked
about that yesterday. But the outcome is basically him saying, hey,
we're not giving over any territory Russia.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Period.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
He said, he said it this way, no right to
give anything away under Ukrainian international or even moral law.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, certainly as far as Ukrainian law is concerned. He
can't sign a deal anyway. He doesn't have the authority.
Let's say, okay, I'll give you most of the dumbas
which is the eastern portion of Ukraine. Doesn't have the
right to do it. And then the problem is, of
course that if he doesn't have the United States backing
up him, Ukraine's going to be a real problem. Europe's
(14:35):
trying to store to step in, but not yet in
terms of the arms. So we'll see what happens. And
the problem is that the president, who is pushing very
hard for a peace plan, is effectively saying the only
way you're going to get a peace plan is to
give Russia what it wants. And that's a tough one.
So we'll see where this one goes.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Calls that a negotiation.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Designated by DeSantis.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Florida Governor Rond DeSantis has designated one of the largest
Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the US as
a foreign terrorist organization. Texas did it last month. The
order instructs Florida agencies to prevent the Muslim Brotherhood and
the Council on American Islamic Relations and those who've provided
the material support from receiving contracts, employment and funds from
(15:25):
a state executive or cabinet agency.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You know, I got into it with care remember Neil,
with the Council of Ideal Relations, and at that point
I accuse them of being pro terrorists, not terrorists themselves,
but being in favor of terrorism. And we I mean,
it went on in our winds of minds.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
You're not the first last, or only one that has
said that that they might have funneled money.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And I don't know, and we don't know, but they
have developed a reputation of more peacemakers than anything else,
or more a peace advocacy group. That's their reputation now.
And as far as the Muslim Brotherhood is concerned, that
was established in Egypt, and that was a strell. It
was considered it was a terrorist organization. That's simple. You know,
(16:12):
one man's freedom fire fighter is another man's terrorists. It
depends on which side of your.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Care exist prior to nine to eleven or were they
something that rose afterwards.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You know, I don't know, well, I don't know. I
don't know. I guess that existed before on nine to eleven.
I think care has been around for.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
A while June of nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Oh okay, I'm just curious as to what can dance
was on nine to eleven, because if you remember, there
wasn't a whole lot of rush.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
By many parts of the Muslim community to condemn it.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And I think that was one of one of the
big issues at a time. I'm trying. This was a
long time ago. I mean, we're talking going back thirty
years over that. But yeah, memory serves that was I
think our big bitch. We didn't accuse them of actually
doing anything or supporting financially in any other way the terrorism,
but just them saying, look at their side, and there
(17:11):
is no their side on when it came to nine eleven.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
All right, Well this blows. A federal judge on Monday.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Struck down the Trump administration's ban on federal permits for
wind energy projects. Supporters say it's an important victory for
the renewable energy industry. Trump issued the ban on his
first day in office through an executive order. It called
for the temporary withdrawal of nearly all federal land and
(17:40):
waters from new or renewed wind energy leasing. The challenge
brought by seventeen attorneys general, including California. The US district
judge in the District of Massachusetts ruled that the ban
is arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Now, a couple of things about this. One. Number one
is the president also stop the funding of projects that
we're getting federal money. For example, there's one huge one
I think outside of New Jersey that was just nine finished,
stopped at cold because it was federal money. And then
here is the argument about these leases. Lease. According to
(18:20):
this LA Time story, these leases lead to grave harm,
including negative effects on national security, transportation, and commercial interests.
Leases to power for wind power is of grave national security.
I don't know where that connects, but so be it.
(18:42):
I'm trying to think of how you know. I can see, hey,
we don't want wind power because I'm in favor of
fossil fuels and I like Chevron a lot more than
I like whatever wind power company is out there. But
national security, how is that? Where does that connect? And
(19:03):
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
To that, all right, Jimmy Kimmel you know, all this
hubbub that happened back gosh, some months back might have
been good for him at least for an extension for
another year.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Because that's what he got.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
He signed a one year contract extension with ABC, so
Jimmy Kimmellive will continue through May twenty twenty seven. Previous
contract was set to expire May twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
But one year, that seems measley.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, well, I alway about to say the same thing.
One year extension usually you think of it seems total
toast go for multiple years, ye five years.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Contra passed the memory and maybe and boot him.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, you know, I don't know if it's true or not,
because are they all losing money or or not? Is
Late Night now losing money?
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Well? There was a lot of talk that Colbert was
using millions of dollars or is losing millions of dollars
a year.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, these are not cheap to produce. I mean you
look at Jimmy Fallon all right. There he was talking
about his show and what it costs to produce his show.
There is one guy standing up and you got a
bunch of guests showing up. I mean, how how inexpensively.
Can you possibly make it? You can't get cheaper than that.
Two hundred and fifty people work on that show.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Absolutely, those those shows, it's I mean, you've got tons of.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
People working on those shows to do it right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Like we do here. We have hundreds and hundreds of
people working on this show. Don't wait, that's yeah, that's
and that's Anne pretty much. I wish they'd do something then.
I know they used to. You know, we used to
have producers and assistant producers all over the place. All
those days are changed. You know, it's it's difficult and
(20:54):
to puss that's true, thank.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You, Okay. Fun fact, Kimmel's ratings spiked when he.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Came back on the air after he was taken off,
to like six million, but by early October now they're
under two million, and those are below his Q two numbers.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Late night is not what it used to be in
any way, shape or formed.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So what is what is? Local news isn't what it
used to be. National news isn't what it used to be.
Morning radio show, morning radio is certainly not what it
used to be. Well, especially after I got the gig
in nineteen ninety three then it started collapsing. I understand that.
But at the same time, life has changed in many, many,
(21:40):
many mini ways.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
It's electric. Boogie ugy ugy, not a song.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
New hospital at uc Irvine is going to open tomorrow
and it's going to be all electric. It's only the
second medical center in the US, and it's the largest
one in the US so far. U CI Health Vine
will have one hundred and forty four beds and again
entirely electric, no gas power.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You watch, starting next year, I'm going to get calls
on Handle on the Law from someone whose mother was
fried on one of these beds because she was electrocuted,
and it's going to be a really interesting case.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Yes, or they lose power because the gas the way
they have generator.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, by law, they have to have backup generators and
those are going to be gas fired. And that's another
issue which we're going to talk about a little later on,
because you have so many of these utilities, etc. Have
to have backup and they're all fossil fuels, fossil fueled
and there's a whole formula there. All right, No one more.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
There's an AI meme of somebody driving a Tesla with
a gas power generator in the back, going to the plug.
All righty, it looks like maybe Congress is taking something
out of President Trump's playbook. They have this massive defense bill,
policy bill, and it's got this provision in it that
(23:06):
would limit Defense Secretary Pete Haigsa's travel budget unless he
provides the House and Senate Armed Services Committee with an
unedited video of the US military strikes in the Caribbean.
So this is kind of the Hey, you don't do
what we say, you don't get the money.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's not specifically, if you don't
give us the edit un edited version, we're going to
withhold money. It gives them the power to withhold money.
And we'll see if they if they use it, if
Congress does, in fact, to your point, if they use
that bill to force Pete heads says to release the
video and us do with that double tap back that
(23:49):
has to do with the double tap. I think that
they're not going to release it or fight like craziest
like the Epstein trial, like the Epstein file. Oh yes, yes, yes,
we'll release, will release, Will releases. Anybody's seen that file
by the way, yet it's about another weeks ago, give
or take or you know, ten days trickling.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
There was some pictures in some video that came out
recently but never liked them.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
No, and this one, yeah, if it turns out that well,
let me let me put it this way. We had
two conservatives, two liberals through, two Democrats, two Republicans who
the leadership who saw that video right, The Republicans said,
oh no, they were overturning the boat. They were trying
(24:30):
to get back on. They were going to attack US forces.
I mean just on and on on that boat. They
had the world's first and only anti aircraft battery that
works underwater that you can't see. I mean it goes
on and on where the Democrats saying, hey, these guys
were just hanging on to debris and they were killed. Okay,
(24:52):
release the video. Let us see that because we've gotten
two versions. Now, Yes, they were still attacking. I don't
know how or were prepared to or know they were
just innocent guys. And you watch the President said, oh, yeah,
we're released it. That was a week ago. Now. He said, well,
I'm gonna let heg Set decide.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Heg Set said, it doesn't make them innocent. It just
means that we weren't allowed to shoot them.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, that was no. And I'm not saying they're innocent.
They were drug runners. I mean there's no question about that.
It's does law allow you to shoot at and kill
combatants who are no longer a threat? No?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
You called this early on.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
You said, if you've got the videos of hitting these targets,
because they keep putting them out, you've got the one
of you hitting the second target.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Oh yeah, No, they have it. They just won't release
that one video. And hegg says said, we're looking at it.
We have to be very careful in how we release it. Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
These aren't your grandma's gummy bears. As you know, marijuana
edibles look like candy. And guess what kids are getting
into it. Seven students at a junior high in Prince
George County, Virginia got sick last month after they ate
edibles infused with THHC. A DC middle school student took
(26:10):
an edible to school and shared it with several classmates.
At least one had to go to the hospital, and apparently,
as the number of states allow adult recreational cannabis use,
the number of kids who are getting sick.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Going up to yeah, seven fifty, I'm doing that story
and a personal story about this that happened to me.
Ee happened to me yesterday? You wow, yeah, I know
it is. Oh yeah, just happened yesterday, right in line
with this story. And I will explain coming up a
seven fifty, And it's a good one. Even you guys
are going to say, oh, yeah, that's pretty good because
(26:46):
usually never do you want to Definitely, will you let
me know, Amy, will you remind me?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
I remind you?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Thanks, thank you? All right, reminding everybody? Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Okay, so you know, we all get old and you
got the wrinkles, the thinning hair, of course, little aches
and pains and all of that, and the brain slows down.
But scientists at Texas A and M University they're looking
at away. They've discovered a way to recharge aging damaged cells.
(27:18):
So this is like going to like the source. And
that means that the you know, certain conditions like Alzheimer's
and muscular dystrophe and even fatty liver disease could be.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Reversed.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's pretty science.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Crazy on the cellular level.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, the science is incredible. We're just right on the verge. I,
I had heard and I believe this that kids that
are born today will easily live to one.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Hundred Oh yeah, I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
And during our lifetime, assuming we don't pop off next week,
we're going to see at least that's what we're told
by science, is one hundred and ten hundred and twenty
years of age. And then the trick, of course, is
the quality of life. That's a whole another one, you know,
where we that's a big issue that we have to
deal with. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
But if this, if it regenerates the cell.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, and maybe it regenerates brain cells.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
At the same time, can you imagine, can you imagine
we're here fifty years from now, still telling the same
bad jokes.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Guess how much money we earned for from Katerina's club
for my backyard barbecue?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, exactly. All right, it's do one more, one more?
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Can you say preferential treatment? Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
US immigration judge has ordered the release of a Brazilian
woman who has family ties to White House Press Secretary
Caroline Levett.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
So.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
She was taken to a Defend detention center in Louisiana
after immigration officers arrested her in Massachusetts on November twelfth.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Their name is Bruna for Ferrera.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
He was on a way to pick up her son
from school and was taken to the processing center. The
White House said that Farrea Ferreira had not spoken to
Caroline love It in years, and that Ferrara had never
lived with her son.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
But still she has been granted bond.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, which we'll see how far this one goes.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Also, keep in mind immigration judges are not independent judges.
They work for the government, So that's for starters. And
second of all, what is that story that Anne gave
me this morning out of I think The Atlantic or
New York magazine about you know, remember we had that
lady on who had her son in law was picked up,
(29:43):
and I think's Orange County Register just had a huge
story about that and the way he was treated. And
what makes me think is, well, here's a stat for
you from the Department of Health and Human Services, all right,
right from DHS, they're telling us that seventy three percent
of those people that are picked up, that have been
detained do not have a criminal record of any kind.
(30:07):
Yet Christinom says, all we're picking up is the worst
of the worst but wait a minute. You say, seventy
three percent don't have a criminal record. The response, the
worst of the worst is who we're going after? All right,
seventy three percent. All right, we're done. And by the way,
of course, anybody connected to the administration is going to
(30:28):
be looked at very, very differently. I'm surprised she was
picked up at all. If they knew who she was,
why would they even pick her up with a connection
to Caroline Levitt? All right, we're done, guys. This is
KFI AM six forty. 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 KFI A M six forty. The Bill
handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
F and now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen,
here's bill handle.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Al No, here we go, I dare you?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I go?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah? I didn't turn on the mic. Sorry about that? Yes,
every time. No, yesterday we had all kinds of mic
problems and I was turning things on and off, and
uh so he's.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
No different in other things. People ask, you know, hey,
does that happened all the time? I said, I've sat
in the car with him for an hour and a
half because he forgot to turn it on.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Pretty much. Kno, how's the signal coming through? Are in
good shape?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, you're good. You should mute your zoom though, if
you could.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, I could do that.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
He put on some pants.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah no, well, no, that's out of the question because
you can't see me above the waist. And remember that
we are when we auctioned off the broadcast for a
listener to come to join us. How'd that do? By
the way, it looks like we are going to finish
up in fifty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Holy Oh, that's like eleven thousand more than yesterday.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, it is. We finally figured it all out. People.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Did you want to take a minute and call John
Cobalt and Gary and Shannon?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
I mean, because I don't know if they're awake.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Gary. Yeah, but that's pretty Although, come on, and it's
not exactly fair. You can't. I mean, think about this.
We're gonna have people come over to the house, so
two an extra two or four instead of two? Wow,
that would be four, but I think we have six
people coming. It's not like taking six people to a
ball game. Someone's got to sit with somebody. So it's
(02:19):
really not apples and oranges. But the apples are pretty
impressive in this case. To say the least fifty two
thousand dollars for people to have lunch with us. Wow, Okay,
I don't get it. Yeah, we'll take it, you know you,
we'll take it. That could be the single, well, certainly
(02:39):
is the biggest KFI item we've ever done. It could
be the biggest iHeart item.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Now I'm gonna have to carry it because you know,
ten minutes in Bill's gonna go I'm bored.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, go go up to the room, no question, about it,
but anyway, part of one of the great things we
can do, and this is what we're offering, not only
the barbecue, but the night set from Lake Industries, you know,
the gourmet and I've set a couple thousand dollars worth
and Zella.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Joking aside, it's incredibly incredibly generous for you to open
your home.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
You know what.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I was you because we're close, but it's incredibly generous.
I've never heard any host do anything close to that
before we.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Did that, and we thought we could actually we thought
we could raise some real money for Katerina's Club. And
we've been talking about you and I have been talking
about barbecuing or grilling at my house now you months
and months and doing a broadcast out of the house
where we wouldn't wouldn't be an event. It would simply
(03:42):
be the broadcast because of grilling and the green egg
and just making a big deal out about it. But
for the Fork Report, and it became an easy It
became an easy hit at that point saying, hey, tell
you what, why don't we use it as a as
an auction? I am And that's how that evolved. So
it was it was a fairly easy call and we
get We thought we would get fifteen twenty thousand dollars
(04:06):
at the outside. You remember we had that conversation we
ended up we ended up with fifty two thousand. So, uh,
you know, what can I tell you? All right, let's
say hello to everybody before we start. Neil just said hello,
good morning. And Anne, who was wearing her chargers up, Oh, no, kidding,
(04:26):
put it down all dr. I didn't see it. It
was good, Okay, I assume that means it was cakes, right, paint.
They basically went into overtime. Did they get their W?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah, they got the W and ended an interception thanks
to a pick.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Oh nice.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Now, when you talk about a kit a pick, it's
different with Hispanic players.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Right, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, that's that's that's several that's several levels somewhere else. Yeah,
that is several levels removed in terms of where that
humor went. Good morning, Cono, Good morning Bill. Hey, Amy's
still wondering what the hell went that one? You got
to ask Amy, Oh, don't leave it alone. Let's just
(05:16):
leave it alone, all right. Well, good morning, good morning Bill. Yeah,
we were talking this morning about how much weight I've
lost and Anne has lost in divorces, et cetera. And
I'm down to what one hundred and eighty six No, No,
I am, I am. Well, No, my divorce is done.
But we still have I know, just the way you
(05:36):
said that. Yeah, no, we still have, you know, some
financial stuff. Not not acrimoniously at all, just figuring it out.
I mean, my divorce with Marjorie is we're still very
close and we're very good friends, so that's not a problem.
Just trying to figure out, you know, some of the
last finance stuff because I didn't accountant. That just didn't
do a good job for me in any case. So
(05:57):
I've lost a lot of weight. I'm down to one
hundred and eighty six pounds. And she's not going to.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Take half of the money you raised for Caterina's Club, No.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Two thousand. That was the other issue that she was
going to take it. And I said, you can't do
it because it's for a charity. And she said, frankly,
my dear, I don't give a damn. She had just
watched Gone with the Wind, Good morning, Will, good morning,
and Amy Kno, I got everybody there, Okay, fair enough,
(06:29):
let's see what's going on. So we got the games
we got. I'm trying not to do trying as hard
as we can not to do Trump news. And we're
going to no not in handle on the news. We're
talking about segments in general. I mean, well, yeah, you
talk about okay, well, how about this, it's infiltrated everything. Okay, Okay,
(06:50):
I understood. How about this. What's our first story coming
out in the news, And that's right, it's time for
a handle on the news.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I'm just going to start having you to talk about
things that really just don't matter.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Right Amy, Neil and me. And that's the lead story
is Supreme Court. Yesterday it looked like they're going to
allow the president to fire the head of the Federal
Trade Commission. And this a big deal is being made.
And it should be made of the fact that the
(07:27):
independence of the FTC and the FAA and this when
it became all these very Vpa et cetera, that Congress
said that they should be independent, and what the president
doing he fired the FTC in direct violation of that,
took it to Supreme Court because of course lawsuits by
the fire people were fired is coming up, and it
(07:50):
looks like the court is going to say Congress did
not have the right to do that, that the president
constitutionally has effectively unbridled power because this is the executive branch.
What the uh, the FTC head is saying, even though
I work for you, you can't fire me, and it's
not civil service protected either.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Who is the who is the oversight for the alphabet soup?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, that's the whole point. The oversight should be the
executive works for the executive And that's exactly Uh, that's
exactly what the Justice said. Kavanaugh said this and asked
that question, where is the oversight here? If someone is
appointed head of an agency like the FTC, who is
the oversight? Who does that person report to nobody?
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Well, then they have ultimate power. Who the person that
doesn't report to anyone?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
That is correct? And that's exactly what the Kavanaugh said, Uh,
And that person works for the president. So you know,
and you may agree or disagree, and I think a
lot of people disagree simply because as President Trump arguing
for his powers and he's stretching the power, and the
Supreme Court is a big fan of presidential power. It
just so happens this fan, this court happens they'd be
(09:08):
a big fan. So we'll see and so you're going
to see this law. And now Kevin all also pointed
out or I think it was Justice Roberts, No, it
was Kavanaugh who said, you know, this law was passed
nineteen thirty five when these agencies look nothing like they
do today and the enormous powers these agencies have, and
that is not was not the intent or should not
(09:29):
have been the intent. All right, Moving on to cut
or not to cut, said the moil.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
FED watchers are expecting a third.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Rate cut when the FED opens its doors for meetings
their meeting today and tomorrow, and we'll find out tomorrow
if there will be a rate cut for December. It's
not guaranteed, said Chairman Jerome Powell at the last meeting.
Several FED officials have cautioned that the potential tariff driven
inflation pressures shouldn't be dismissed and saying, hey, you know,
(10:01):
things are actually you know, the economy is growing, Equity
markets are all time highs, Unemployment remains very low. So
it doesn't appear that we really.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Need Yeah, we don't. We don't need a ky The
FED cuts or raises the race depending on the factors.
You just talked about, and all these factors indicate no cut.
Yet they're probably going to cut, said the oil.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
All right, speaking of cuts, this has to deal with
the FBI. You have agents twelve to be exact, filing
a lawsuit against the FBI and the DOJ. Their whole
concern goes back to twenty twenty during a lot of
racial justice protests and some of these or these agents
taking a knee, and the minute Cash Betel and Attorney
(10:50):
General Pam Bondi got into their positions, they started focusing
on getting rid of people in this category.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
So says the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, a very interesting the argument of lawsuit. First of all,
that was an investigation by the FBI of its own agents,
cleared of all wrongdoing. Also, the argument is that the agents,
and this is again the lawsuit, avoided triggering violence by
assuming a kneeling posture. It was a de escalation move
(11:21):
which brought down the temperature. And Patella is saying you
took a knee relative to what all of I think
was this during a demonstration.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
What would have been during the George Lloyd protests.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, And so that's their argument that what we
did is de escalate and cash Betel is saying, too bad.
I mean, it's obviously political. The lawsuit also says argues
that they would not have been fired if they had
political affiliations that were in line with the January sixth defendants.
(11:56):
That's what the lawsuit says.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Just say, you're Catholic and you're praying, Yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Could do that, or you play football and you're praying,
you know, Or you played football and you discovered that
the sun really was the center of the innverse. Colin Kapernik, right, Pernicas, Okay,
that's a strike. That's another one. Amy, Yeah, that's another stretch.
It didn't quite work.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, I didn't get that one either.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Now I understand, Yeah, I got it, okay.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Trump's version of farm aid. The President rolled out a
twelve billion dollar bailout for struggling farmers yesterday, did a
ceremony at the White House, actually a round table at
the White House. He said, we love our farmers, as
you know, the farmers like me. When you put stuff
like that in, it corrects me up. The payments to
the farmers are going to be made by the end
(12:44):
of February. Trump said the money was a small portion
of the revenue the US is taken in from tariffs,
although he said the tariffs made the payments possible. It
was the tariffs that have the farmers kind of struggling
right now.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, no kidding. Now, are the tariffs being used to
fund this, We don't know. It comes straight out of
the taxpayer, out of the taxpayers, the general it goes
into the general find So I guess that's true. But
the point of this one is he couldn't let this
continue on because he was going to lose the entire
farming community. And all of a sudden, look at the
(13:20):
exceptions that are being placed on these tariffs. Well, we'll
take this one back. We'll take that one back. It's
being super selective of terrorifts, which actually is what should
be done instead of these broad strokes. That's it. We're
done China ten percent across the board fifteen percent, which
is still happening, all right.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
So Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski met with the leaders from France,
Germany and UK in London yesterday and we had talked
about that yesterday. But the outcome is basically him saying, hey,
we're not giving over any territory Russia.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Period.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
He said, he said it this way, no right to
give anything away under Ukrainian international or even moral law.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Well, certainly as far as Ukrainian law is concerned. He
can't sign a deal anyway. He doesn't have the authority.
Let's say, okay, I'll give you most of the dumbas
which is the eastern portion of Ukraine. Doesn't have the
right to do it. And then the problem is, of
course that if he doesn't have the United States backing
up him, Ukraine's going to be a real problem. Europe's
(14:35):
trying to store to step in, but not yet in
terms of the arms. So we'll see what happens. And
the problem is that the president, who is pushing very
hard for a peace plan, is effectively saying the only
way you're going to get a peace plan is to
give Russia what it wants. And that's a tough one.
So we'll see where this one goes.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Calls that a negotiation.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Designated by DeSantis.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Florida Governor Rond DeSantis has designated one of the largest
Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the US as
a foreign terrorist organization. Texas did it last month. The
order instructs Florida agencies to prevent the Muslim Brotherhood and
the Council on American Islamic Relations and those who've provided
the material support from receiving contracts, employment and funds from
(15:25):
a state executive or cabinet agency.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You know, I got into it with care remember Neil,
with the Council of Ideal Relations, and at that point
I accuse them of being pro terrorists, not terrorists themselves,
but being in favor of terrorism. And we I mean,
it went on in our winds of minds.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
You're not the first last, or only one that has
said that that they might have funneled money.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
And I don't know, and we don't know, but they
have developed a reputation of more peacemakers than anything else,
or more a peace advocacy group. That's their reputation now.
And as far as the Muslim Brotherhood is concerned, that
was established in Egypt, and that was a strell. It
was considered it was a terrorist organization. That's simple. You know,
(16:12):
one man's freedom fire fighter is another man's terrorists. It
depends on which side of your.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Care exist prior to nine to eleven or were they
something that rose afterwards.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You know, I don't know, well, I don't know. I
don't know. I guess that existed before on nine to eleven.
I think care has been around for.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
A while June of nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Oh okay, I'm just curious as to what can dance
was on nine to eleven, because if you remember, there
wasn't a whole lot of rush.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
By many parts of the Muslim community to condemn it.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
And I think that was one of one of the
big issues at a time. I'm trying. This was a
long time ago. I mean, we're talking going back thirty
years over that. But yeah, memory serves that was I
think our big bitch. We didn't accuse them of actually
doing anything or supporting financially in any other way the terrorism,
but just them saying, look at their side, and there
(17:11):
is no their side on when it came to nine eleven.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
All right, Well this blows. A federal judge on Monday.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Struck down the Trump administration's ban on federal permits for
wind energy projects. Supporters say it's an important victory for
the renewable energy industry. Trump issued the ban on his
first day in office through an executive order. It called
for the temporary withdrawal of nearly all federal land and
(17:40):
waters from new or renewed wind energy leasing. The challenge
brought by seventeen attorneys general, including California. The US district
judge in the District of Massachusetts ruled that the ban
is arbitrary and capricious and contrary to law.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Now, a couple of things about this. One. Number one
is the president also stop the funding of projects that
we're getting federal money. For example, there's one huge one
I think outside of New Jersey that was just nine finished,
stopped at cold because it was federal money. And then
here is the argument about these leases. Lease. According to
(18:20):
this LA Time story, these leases lead to grave harm,
including negative effects on national security, transportation, and commercial interests.
Leases to power for wind power is of grave national security.
I don't know where that connects, but so be it.
(18:42):
I'm trying to think of how you know. I can see, hey,
we don't want wind power because I'm in favor of
fossil fuels and I like Chevron a lot more than
I like whatever wind power company is out there. But
national security, how is that? Where does that connect? And
(19:03):
I don't know the answer.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
To that, all right, Jimmy Kimmel you know, all this
hubbub that happened back gosh, some months back might have
been good for him at least for an extension for
another year.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Because that's what he got.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
He signed a one year contract extension with ABC, so
Jimmy Kimmellive will continue through May twenty twenty seven. Previous
contract was set to expire May twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
But one year, that seems measley.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, well, I alway about to say the same thing.
One year extension usually you think of it seems total
toast go for multiple years, ye five years.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Contra passed the memory and maybe and boot him.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, you know, I don't know if it's true or not,
because are they all losing money or or not? Is
Late Night now losing money?
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Well? There was a lot of talk that Colbert was
using millions of dollars or is losing millions of dollars
a year.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, these are not cheap to produce. I mean you
look at Jimmy Fallon all right. There he was talking
about his show and what it costs to produce his show.
There is one guy standing up and you got a
bunch of guests showing up. I mean, how how inexpensively.
Can you possibly make it? You can't get cheaper than that.
Two hundred and fifty people work on that show.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Absolutely, those those shows, it's I mean, you've got tons of.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
People working on those shows to do it right.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Like we do here. We have hundreds and hundreds of
people working on this show. Don't wait, that's yeah, that's
and that's Anne pretty much. I wish they'd do something then.
I know they used to. You know, we used to
have producers and assistant producers all over the place. All
those days are changed. You know, it's it's difficult and
(20:54):
to puss that's true, thank.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You, Okay. Fun fact, Kimmel's ratings spiked when he.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Came back on the air after he was taken off,
to like six million, but by early October now they're
under two million, and those are below his Q two numbers.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Late night is not what it used to be in
any way, shape or formed.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
So what is what is? Local news isn't what it
used to be. National news isn't what it used to be.
Morning radio show, morning radio is certainly not what it
used to be. Well, especially after I got the gig
in nineteen ninety three then it started collapsing. I understand that.
But at the same time, life has changed in many, many,
(21:40):
many mini ways.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
It's electric. Boogie ugy ugy, not a song.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
New hospital at uc Irvine is going to open tomorrow
and it's going to be all electric. It's only the
second medical center in the US, and it's the largest
one in the US so far. U CI Health Vine
will have one hundred and forty four beds and again
entirely electric, no gas power.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You watch, starting next year, I'm going to get calls
on Handle on the Law from someone whose mother was
fried on one of these beds because she was electrocuted,
and it's going to be a really interesting case.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
Yes, or they lose power because the gas the way
they have generator.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, by law, they have to have backup generators and
those are going to be gas fired. And that's another
issue which we're going to talk about a little later on,
because you have so many of these utilities, etc. Have
to have backup and they're all fossil fuels, fossil fueled
and there's a whole formula there. All right, No one more.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
There's an AI meme of somebody driving a Tesla with
a gas power generator in the back, going to the plug.
All righty, it looks like maybe Congress is taking something
out of President Trump's playbook. They have this massive defense bill,
policy bill, and it's got this provision in it that
(23:06):
would limit Defense Secretary Pete Haigsa's travel budget unless he
provides the House and Senate Armed Services Committee with an
unedited video of the US military strikes in the Caribbean.
So this is kind of the Hey, you don't do
what we say, you don't get the money.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, it's I mean, it's not specifically, if you don't
give us the edit un edited version, we're going to
withhold money. It gives them the power to withhold money.
And we'll see if they if they use it, if
Congress does, in fact, to your point, if they use
that bill to force Pete heads says to release the
video and us do with that double tap back that
(23:49):
has to do with the double tap. I think that
they're not going to release it or fight like craziest
like the Epstein trial, like the Epstein file. Oh yes, yes, yes,
we'll release, will release, Will releases. Anybody's seen that file
by the way, yet it's about another weeks ago, give
or take or you know, ten days trickling.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
There was some pictures in some video that came out
recently but never liked them.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
No, and this one, yeah, if it turns out that well,
let me let me put it this way. We had
two conservatives, two liberals through, two Democrats, two Republicans who
the leadership who saw that video right, The Republicans said,
oh no, they were overturning the boat. They were trying
(24:30):
to get back on. They were going to attack US forces.
I mean just on and on on that boat. They
had the world's first and only anti aircraft battery that
works underwater that you can't see. I mean it goes
on and on where the Democrats saying, hey, these guys
were just hanging on to debris and they were killed. Okay,
(24:52):
release the video. Let us see that because we've gotten
two versions. Now, Yes, they were still attacking. I don't
know how or were prepared to or know they were
just innocent guys. And you watch the President said, oh, yeah,
we're released it. That was a week ago. Now. He said, well,
I'm gonna let heg Set decide.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Heg Set said, it doesn't make them innocent. It just
means that we weren't allowed to shoot them.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, that was no. And I'm not saying they're innocent.
They were drug runners. I mean there's no question about that.
It's does law allow you to shoot at and kill
combatants who are no longer a threat? No?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
You called this early on.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
You said, if you've got the videos of hitting these targets,
because they keep putting them out, you've got the one
of you hitting the second target.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Oh yeah, No, they have it. They just won't release
that one video. And hegg says said, we're looking at it.
We have to be very careful in how we release it. Okay,
moving on.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
These aren't your grandma's gummy bears. As you know, marijuana
edibles look like candy. And guess what kids are getting
into it. Seven students at a junior high in Prince
George County, Virginia got sick last month after they ate
edibles infused with THHC. A DC middle school student took
(26:10):
an edible to school and shared it with several classmates.
At least one had to go to the hospital, and apparently,
as the number of states allow adult recreational cannabis use,
the number of kids who are getting sick.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Going up to yeah, seven fifty, I'm doing that story
and a personal story about this that happened to me.
Ee happened to me yesterday? You wow, yeah, I know
it is. Oh yeah, just happened yesterday, right in line
with this story. And I will explain coming up a
seven fifty, And it's a good one. Even you guys
are going to say, oh, yeah, that's pretty good because
(26:46):
usually never do you want to Definitely, will you let
me know, Amy, will you remind me?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
I remind you?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Thanks, thank you? All right, reminding everybody? Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Okay, so you know, we all get old and you
got the wrinkles, the thinning hair, of course, little aches
and pains and all of that, and the brain slows down.
But scientists at Texas A and M University they're looking
at away. They've discovered a way to recharge aging damaged cells.
(27:18):
So this is like going to like the source. And
that means that the you know, certain conditions like Alzheimer's
and muscular dystrophe and even fatty liver disease could be.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Reversed.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's pretty science.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Crazy on the cellular level.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, the science is incredible. We're just right on the verge. I,
I had heard and I believe this that kids that
are born today will easily live to one.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Hundred Oh yeah, I would imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
And during our lifetime, assuming we don't pop off next week,
we're going to see at least that's what we're told
by science, is one hundred and ten hundred and twenty
years of age. And then the trick, of course, is
the quality of life. That's a whole another one, you know,
where we that's a big issue that we have to
deal with. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
But if this, if it regenerates the cell.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah, and maybe it regenerates brain cells.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
At the same time, can you imagine, can you imagine
we're here fifty years from now, still telling the same
bad jokes.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Guess how much money we earned for from Katerina's club
for my backyard barbecue?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, exactly. All right, it's do one more, one more?
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Can you say preferential treatment? Maybe maybe not.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
US immigration judge has ordered the release of a Brazilian
woman who has family ties to White House Press Secretary
Caroline Levett.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
So.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
She was taken to a Defend detention center in Louisiana
after immigration officers arrested her in Massachusetts on November twelfth.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Their name is Bruna for Ferrera.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
He was on a way to pick up her son
from school and was taken to the processing center. The
White House said that Farrea Ferreira had not spoken to
Caroline love It in years, and that Ferrara had never
lived with her son.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
But still she has been granted bond.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, which we'll see how far this one goes.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Also, keep in mind immigration judges are not independent judges.
They work for the government, So that's for starters. And
second of all, what is that story that Anne gave
me this morning out of I think The Atlantic or
New York magazine about you know, remember we had that
lady on who had her son in law was picked up,
(29:43):
and I think's Orange County Register just had a huge
story about that and the way he was treated. And
what makes me think is, well, here's a stat for
you from the Department of Health and Human Services, all right,
right from DHS, they're telling us that seventy three percent
of those people that are picked up, that have been
detained do not have a criminal record of any kind.
(30:07):
Yet Christinom says, all we're picking up is the worst
of the worst but wait a minute. You say, seventy
three percent don't have a criminal record. The response, the
worst of the worst is who we're going after? All right,
seventy three percent. All right, we're done. And by the way,
of course, anybody connected to the administration is going to
(30:28):
be looked at very, very differently. I'm surprised she was
picked up at all. If they knew who she was,
why would they even pick her up with a connection
to Caroline Levitt? All right, we're done, guys. This is
