Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listenings KPI AM six forty. The Bill handles show
on demand on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, I get so confused.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Sometimes press can do that to you can two at.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
A time too.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That's the other thing you've ever seen a bar misfit
with conjoined twins.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
They use a bra as a yamaka. Oh I got
plenty more.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I bet you do.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill handle.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Oh good, good morning everybody. It is a foodie. Friday,
May sixteen, as we start our Friday show.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Fridays are always Friday last hour, particularly because they're light
and they're fun.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's Footy Friday, Neil.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We spend two segments talking about all things food, and
then at a thirty it's ask Candle anything.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
In the meantime, we just have some great topics too.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Okay, a couple of things before I say hello, I
this morning show may be somewhat questionable because I am
ripped on a drug medication. I am on pain medication
out of my mind, just more pain, and so the
(01:28):
doctor upped my prescription. So I've gone from Norcote to Percocet,
and I am flying right now no pain either. So hey,
you know, forgive me or don't. But today's show maybe
a little wild.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
No more than is that a double signature one? You
have to have a signature from two two medical doctors too.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
No, no, no, no, yeah, there's the only thing is
too medical doctors that even exist? Is the right to
die is? Yeah, the rest of it. No, you just
need one medical doctor, issue prescription, get to but some
prescriptions you have to physically walk in the door and
get the pharmacy wants to see a live prescription signed
(02:17):
by the doctor, not a copy, not a call in, and.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So percocet they called in. So it's quite all right.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So I'm feeling absolutely no pain. Matter of fact, because
i am feeling no pain. Right after the show, I'm
going to practice some place kicking because I'm feeling just
so good. Okay, let me say a quick hello to
one and all and Neil, Good.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Morning, Good morning, Willie Wolf.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
All right, we were talking sexual escapades this morning, not going
to really get into it, but it was fun.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
First of all.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Pardon, yeah, it's always fun.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, it is always fun.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And I had mentioned I think I've talked about this
before that in those magic moments for me. Either Number one,
I get very religious, as you can imagine, screaming my
religion out, Oh God, Oh God. And the other thing
is what I tend to do is as I'm screaming,
(03:19):
is use my own name in those moments. And I'll
tell you why I scream my own name, because unfortunately
I have in the past screamed out the wrong name
with whoever I was at. So I quickly decided, you
know what, I'll scream my own name out now. My
choice is being an utter ahole or screaming out the
(03:42):
wrong name.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know what, It's just a lesser of two evils.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Swet that isn't ask handle anything questioned by the way
up there.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, I just thought i'd share that with you.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I heard something.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Is it true that when your new wife, Lindsay is
at the point of euphoria, she calls out your savings
account number?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
No, no, because she only gets the first number and
then it's over. Yeah, Okay, let's move on, Okay, cono,
good morning?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Uh? You know the excuse here is that I'm feeling
no pain at all.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Well, good morning to you, Good morning, Good morning, mister Bill.
Oh you're all in black this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, because I'm usually called fat on this show, so
I thought i'd you know, Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, you
think being all in black makes you thin? You should
be on the drugs that.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'm on, or you sound like it.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I do like that jacket though, sir. Oh it's a
super Bowl thing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, it's cool, it's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was a given to you.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It was, and I noticed it has Fox written all
over it. That's a good thing to do. An iHeart station.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Is actually we own Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh that's right, that's true. That's right, Thank you. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Ann, who has lost weight and is looking terrific. You are, No,
it's true, it's true. See when I say stuff like that,
you know I really mean it because I don't blow.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well it didn't hurt. Yes, we'll bet.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
The niceness is coming out of Bill because he's doped up.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I was talking to yesterday. I was talking.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I was talking to Savile yesterday and he had asked,
are you weaning off your drugs? No, not even close,
and Amy, of course, in one of her Disney garb.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I haven't had one on for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Really, yep, Hey, I'm gonna ask you a personal question.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, we're normally we know what Mormons wear, are the
magical underwear with a hieroglyphics on them? Does Disney offer
much the same thing with Mickey?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
They do have Disney underwear. I do not have any.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Why don't I believe? Why do I not believe what
you just said?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I would tell you.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
I do not have Disney underwear? Okay, both male and
female underwear with Mickey all over it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, I'm certainly interested in the female underwear on right now,
the extra long Dumbo.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Uh, leave yourself open. But it would be bad if
I commented on that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
All right, guys, it's Friday wearing Disney.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
But nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Uh yeah, oh that's right. You have a little tiny Mickey.
I didn't notice that.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I beg your pardon.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's oh, it's oh, it's very small though. I thought
those were just coffee stains.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I was in the park yesterday. My wife and I
had a day date yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh, that's cool, all right. How crowded was a park?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It was the longest line to get into the parking
structure I've ever seen in my entire days of going
to Disneyland.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Yet the park was a delight. It was the weirdest thing.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Took us forty five minutes just to get off the
freeway and into the park.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
But the park was delightful. Waits for thirty minutes or so,
and okay, wh time did you go at like ten?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, you need to wait till one.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, guys, let's actually get some news in if we can.
It's handle on the news. What's news? Yeah, I know,
Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, as you know, the House is firmly behind the
Trump budget, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
The way it works with the president.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
President proposes a budget, the House and Senate have to
pass it, and the President has to either sign it
or not sign it. It's that simple. There's no a
line item veto the way California governor has.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So the House says, okay, whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The Senate Republicans saying no, no, we're not going to
pass this budget.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
We've got a lot of changes in mind.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
This big, beautiful budget isn't that big. We're going to
reduce it and is not that beautiful. So there's going
to be a fight, and a lot of it has
to do with the deficit spending. They're drawing the line
and saying we're done. We're back to actually having some
republican hawks.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
God forbid. Okay, moving on.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
First, face to face, but the big dogs are no show.
The first direct talks between Ukraine and Russia on ending
their three year war are underway in Istanbul, Turkey, but
expectations are low that anything's going to actually be decided.
Kiev wants an unconditional ceasefire to the fighting. Moscow wants
(08:50):
to address the root causes of the conflict and also
wants to keep a lot of land that they have
taken over.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And Putin didn't show up for the talk yesterday.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
A Zelenski was there, but now neither one of them
are there, and it's lower level delegations talking.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And President Trump said this is not going to happen
until I force it, and I am there to make
this happen.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He may be right, by the way.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He may be right with the pressure that he can
put on this entire situation. By the way, Moscow's root
causes are You're right, keeping the land, keeping a third
of Ukraine as Russia annexing it, and Ukraine never being
a member of NATO.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Those are the two root causes of this.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
All right, Supreme Court, big time wrestling going on there
with the Trump administration's complaints the federal judges have exceeded
their authority. This has to do with them temporarily blocking
some of his policy moves. But he's saying they're blocking
it for the whole country. Several justices says are going,
you know, they're kind of torn on this. They're skeptical
(09:58):
that a single district judge should have the power to
freeze executive actions throughout the nation.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
But they're also troubled.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
By, you know, all the legal stuff that goes with
it in consequences and you know the underlying case in.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, there's two issues here.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Issue number one, does a one judge, one federal district
court judge, have the ability to stop a nationwide program?
And that's a legitimate question. That is an absolute legitimate question.
Now the lawsuit, the underlying lawsuit is the birthright citizenship,
which I believe the court is going to see. Gee,
(10:35):
it says that in the fourteenth Amendment, which you really
want to unravel that. And if you do, all you
have to do is pass the constitutional Amendment. Two thirds
of Congress, two thirds of both sides of Congress and
three quarters of the state legislatures.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's all you need.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
But there is a clause in it. And I think
that clause could be argued, right, Oh that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Is, yeah, under the jurisdiction thereof But I you know
what be how can you not be under the jurisdiction
of the United States when you're in the United States.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
That's the questions, that's the whole point. Then then the
logic would argue, why was it put in there if
it was so obvious?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
That means it means something else?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Right, No, not necessarily at all. No, I don't buy
that at all.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Second Emit it's an empty clause.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It can be.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And yes, the Court eliminates empty clauses all the time.
Second Amendment. When we're talking about the militia, the Court
has ignored that that's an empty clause. As far as
Supreme Court is concerned, all they care about is the
right to bear arms or the right to arm bearers
is one of the two.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, moving on, Notice I cut you off there, Yeah, yes, okay,
there we go. I like doing that to Neil.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Okay, moving on, options running out for Billy and Tina.
A judge has declined a request for a temporary restraining
order that would have stopped the La Zoo from transferring
Asian elephants Billy and Tina to the Tulsa Zoo. Now
they've been at the zoo, but they're saying, you know what,
the space is too small. It's not conducive for them
(12:08):
to be healthy. There's no other elephants for them to
hang out with. They need to go to a better place.
So the LAZO says we're going to take them to Tulsa.
Activists said it's not good enough. They need to be
at a sanctuary and that's why they asked for that
temporary restraining order. But the Superior Court judge said the
issue would be better handled through the city council rather.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
No kidding, no kidding. It's a council issue.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Is whether to transfer elephants.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Were they to make determination because the La City Zoo
is controlled by the City council. La City Zoo is
simply a division of the City Council or they control it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's an administrative agency.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And then the issue is these groups of people, they
will decide where these elephants are going to go, because
not only do they not want these going to Tulsa.
They're going to say, and here's where we do want
the elephants to go.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, who the hell are you?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You don't like it, get elected to the city council
and change it.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Moving forward, it's gonna be a long morning.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Former director of the FBI, James call Me yesterday took
down an Instagram post. Why did he take it down, Well,
he took a picture of seashells spelling out the numbers
eighty six forty seven. So Republicans came out and said,
it's a threat against Donald Trump. Number eighty six obviously
means to toss something out, while forty seven corresponds with
(13:32):
his current office as forty seventh president.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So eighty six cannot, for example, mean impeach him or
oh no, we can't, because if you listen to Homeland
Security Secretary Christy Nome, she said outright, it is a threat,
an assassination threat against the president, and call me should
be put in prison right now for that threat.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That's how crazy this is, which.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Is so ridiculous because it's like saying that in the
in the back of a restaurant when they say, hey,
eighty six. The stake special they mean kill it ya, No,
I means assassinated it right, I can't do it?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, and I'm surprised.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Well, come on, it was in bad taste to post this, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But he was fired, he was he was fired.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Comy was fired by the president and he said, let's
get rid of him now. It could be Is it
a threat? I don't know. I would argue, if I'm
the defense here, I would say, what are you talking about.
I'm just saying he should be removed, and we have
a legal basis to do that.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
It is in horrible taste, But I do not believe
that the former FBI head of the FBI was saying
kill him. And that's exactly what he would do it
in seashells, he'd make a phone call.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Well, first of all, his wife would actually do it
because she and Anne would be paid for doing it,
because she would be selling she sells by the seashore.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I almost I have a very hard time with that.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I know that was a stretch. I know that was
a huge, huge stretch.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Okay, here's in the mafia. Eighty six.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
The term this is according to Newsweek, the term eighty
six refers to taking somebody eight miles out of town
and putting them six feet under.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Oh, how about calling someone a watch?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
How about calling someone a wise guy? What does that mean? Well,
in the mafia, that means you're a made man and
you've killed someone, you're a wise guy.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So you can't use that phrase.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
It's just a big stretch, it is.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You've got it.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Literally, You've got literally idiots coming out on social media
saying kill the president.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Literally. Yeah, but they're not. But they're not former FBI heads.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
As you pointed out, there's a big difference because this
puts on a whole different level.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh, also, god forbid, you actually go to the fish
market and they wrap the fish in newspapers, you're dead.
That's what that means. The fishwonger wants you dead. That
is giving you a.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Warning you're going to be. Yeah, said you're going to
swim with the fishes.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Sleep with the fishes. If you're swimming with the fishes,
you're alive. You hidhit.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Well, it's all so, but you just you don't have
to say sleep with the fishes. All you have to
do is deliver the dead fish in a news Concrete
shoes that was a little bit more difficult. Yes, concrete
shoes are a little more specific.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
COVID recommendations could be changing. Only older Americans and those
with chronic health problems might be recommended to get the
COVID shot, assuming there's vaccine available at all. So for
years advisors for the CDC have been debating whether to
continue to recommend that American six months and up be immunized.
(17:01):
But now they're going to figure out whether they want
to keep that recommendation. And requirements for clinical testing of
vaccines may delay the availability of shops shots anyway that
had been updated without complicated trials, So there might not
even be vaccine to get.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, two issues there. One makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Who is going to be recommended because we owe a
lot of people overreacted as to COVID in the vaccines
and remote learning, me being one of.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Them, by the way, I being one of them.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
But you know, clinical trials, how do you do clinical
trials with a vaccine that mutates every year?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You don't.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
You can't, which wouldn't it be more like a flu
vaccine because they changed.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That and they're talking about RFK is talking about doing
clinical trials on the flu vaccine, every single flu vaccine
that comes out.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
How do you do that kind of have clinical trials
in the bag after you've given.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's exactly what Senator Bill Cassidy said. That's exactly what
he said. If it's a variation of a vaccine that
has already been proven effective, you don't have to do
again double blind study, placebo based studies. All right, one more, Oh,
we got to go through these fairly quickly.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
All right.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Military commanders told to identify troops in their units who
are transgender or have gender dysphoria and then send them
to the medical unit to get checked in order to
force them out of the service.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
A senior defense official laid out what could be a
very complicated and lengthying new process aimed fulfilling, of course,
Donald Trump's directive to remove transgender service members from the
US military.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Beyond that, not recognizing there is anything as a transgender.
If you were born a woman, you are a woman.
If you were born a man, you are a man. Notwithstanding,
I know it's complicated, it's complicated, but to me, it's
like if somebody's willing to serve our country and they're
(19:07):
American citizens.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
There's got to be some way to figure out, and
there's there are.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Some practical issues going on. Amy, when's the last time
you peed a urinal?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I don't think I ever have.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Oh, there you go, I rest, I rest, I rest
my case. Okay, why don't we go ahead?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
What hannicks when we're coming back? You peeded a urinal? No,
I look like the type of sits down to me.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I squat okay, yeah, yeahat okay. See that's too much,
too much information.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's a date.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Lyle and Eric Menendez will go before parole board next
month on June thirteenth. This follows them being granted their
first chance at freedom in decades when a judge resentenced
them to fifty years to life in prison instead of
life without parole. Governor Newsom has converted the brothers previously
scheduled clemency hearing that was scheduled for June thirteenth into
(20:04):
a regular parole board hearing, so that could expedite them
being released, or it could still be months and years,
and if parole is granted, it would still be up
to the governor to approve or deny it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I do believe that they're going to be released.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
If I had to guess on June thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yep, I think they're going to get it first time out.
My guess don't know more than what I'm seeing, reading
and feeling, but my guess.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So, what if we find out that their parents were molested,
and then so on and so on and so on,
we just keep excusing people from their actions.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Well, I mean, at some point you do excuse people,
you know.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I think there were some mitigating circumstances in that tib absolutely.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
If the jury, if the jury had heard of mitigating circumstances.
First jury was hung, it was hung. So second jury,
the judge was didn't want to have another one saint judge.
He excluded all of that evidence, and the jury came
back very quickly with a first agree murder charge. And
(21:10):
so you know, yeah, they're gonna get released, and that
you have a very good point.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
How far does that go? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
You know, I'm pushing the blame rack, but.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
This is first generation. This is first generation. I killed
my parents because.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Okay, Neil, all right, more than one hundred and thirty
four thousand Los Angeles County residents will soon get an
envelope in the mail that says medical debt.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
But't before you freak out.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
The envelope has good news in it, and that is
the Los Angeles County Supervisors post a question, what instead
of collection agencies and all that mischig as, what if
the county purchased medical debt and gives people much needed relief?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And they do it five cents on And they do
it five cents on the dollar, because effectively, what they're
telling the creditor saying, hey, you better aren't you better
off five cents on dollar than no money?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Can that be done privately, of course, but this is
a governmental program and that's your tax dollars at work.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
But don't you feel better about that versus schooling school
debt because people go into school debt on their own.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Right, that's a choice.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, And there's a whole and it's harder to get
out of school debt, which it should be the medical debt.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Medical debt you go bankrupt on.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
But I pretty well miss that's the whole topic onto itself,
which we should do at some point.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Moving on, train traffic at a standstill, Thank god, we
don't have this system.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
It's in New Jersey.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Engineers at the New Jersey Transit went on strike early
this morning. All the trains in the nation's third largest
commuter rail service have come to a screeching halt. It's
expected to affect about one hundred thousand people who take
the rail every day, commuters, businesses across the New York
metropolitan area, and also fans of Shakira and Beyonce because
(23:07):
those two have concerts planned for a football stadium just
outside Manhattan in the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Thank goodness, We're never going to have this problem because
we're never going to have a transit system.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Well we have when it just is not good.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, not good at all.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You know, even with their transit shut down in Jersey,
still moves faster than the four or five that's correct.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer denounced as a total disgrace
the Trump administration's apparent decision to allow seventeen relatives of
Mexico's most notorious drug trafficker, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman to
(23:41):
enter the United States. So basically, he came out and
said Donald Trump and Republicans love to talk tough about
how they're tough on border security, he said on the
Senate floor. So you can imagine our surprise to read
that Donald Trump is making deals with drug cartels to
come now.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But look at the deal.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It's not like they're coming in being released. They're coming
in and pleading guilty and we'll spend forty years in prison.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
There's a big difference.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Between just letting them come into the country.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Don't use reason, it's bumming people out. Just be emotional.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, so what's Suber talking about? I mean, that's kind
of nuts. Okay, let's do one more.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Twisters from Chicago to Nashville. They could have some severe storms.
Thunderstorms have already been moving through parts of the central US,
which is trouble for tens of millions of people where
some areas have already been hit by when gusts hail tornadoes.
It's part of what will likely be a week long
stretch of nasty weather with an increasing chance of severe storms.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Today.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
May is typically the busiest month of them all for tornadoes.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Have you seen the video? It is crazy out there
with the tornadoes.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
All you have you caught up at a tornado, all
you do is click your heels three times and then
you die.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Don't you look at other natural disasters in the US
and go I'll just take earthquakes.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, earthquakes are very quick. I mean, you either dead,
you're not dead. That bookcase fell out of your head
where it didn't, and you're basically over. You have the aftershocks,
I mean, you know, but nothing like a hurricane or
a tornado or flooding to that extent.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
How many people died in the north Ridge quake?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Oh, not very many? You had what maybe thirty thirty five?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Yeah, I mean that's horrible, but yeah, I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Hey, sirih how many people died in the north Ridge earthquakes?
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah you said fifty seven?
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Yeah, because I said it was close, but not very much.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It was a bad one, Suri, I asked, Kno, okay,
Now if you go, Now, if you go and ask
how many people died in some little town outside of
Istanbul with the same severity.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Now it's in the tens.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Of thousands of people who die different building codes.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All right, we're done, guys.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
This is KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk radio.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Catch my show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listenings KPI AM six forty. The Bill handles show
on demand on the iheartradiop.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, I get so confused.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Sometimes press can do that to you can two at.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
A time too.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That's the other thing you've ever seen a bar misfit
with conjoined twins.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
They use a bra as a yamaka. Oh I got
plenty more.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I bet you do.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill handle.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Oh good, good morning everybody. It is a foodie. Friday,
May sixteen, as we start our Friday show.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Fridays are always Friday last hour, particularly because they're light
and they're fun.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's Footy Friday, Neil.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
We spend two segments talking about all things food, and
then at a thirty it's ask Candle anything.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
In the meantime, we just have some great topics too.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Okay, a couple of things before I say hello, I
this morning show may be somewhat questionable because I am
ripped on a drug medication. I am on pain medication
out of my mind, just more pain, and so the
(01:28):
doctor upped my prescription. So I've gone from Norcote to Percocet,
and I am flying right now no pain either. So hey,
you know, forgive me or don't. But today's show maybe
a little wild.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
No more than is that a double signature one? You
have to have a signature from two two medical doctors too.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
No, no, no, no, yeah, there's the only thing is
too medical doctors that even exist? Is the right to
die is? Yeah, the rest of it. No, you just
need one medical doctor, issue prescription, get to but some
prescriptions you have to physically walk in the door and
get the pharmacy wants to see a live prescription signed
(02:17):
by the doctor, not a copy, not a call in, and.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
So percocet they called in. So it's quite all right.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
So I'm feeling absolutely no pain. Matter of fact, because
i am feeling no pain. Right after the show, I'm
going to practice some place kicking because I'm feeling just
so good. Okay, let me say a quick hello to
one and all and Neil, Good.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Morning, Good morning, Willie Wolf.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
All right, we were talking sexual escapades this morning, not going
to really get into it, but it was fun.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
First of all.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Pardon, yeah, it's always fun.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, it is always fun.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And I had mentioned I think I've talked about this
before that in those magic moments for me. Either Number one,
I get very religious, as you can imagine, screaming my
religion out, Oh God, Oh God. And the other thing
is what I tend to do is as I'm screaming,
(03:19):
is use my own name in those moments. And I'll
tell you why I scream my own name, because unfortunately
I have in the past screamed out the wrong name
with whoever I was at. So I quickly decided, you
know what, I'll scream my own name out now. My
choice is being an utter ahole or screaming out the
(03:42):
wrong name.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You know what, It's just a lesser of two evils.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Swet that isn't ask handle anything questioned by the way
up there.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, I just thought i'd share that with you.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I heard something.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Is it true that when your new wife, Lindsay is
at the point of euphoria, she calls out your savings
account number?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
No, no, because she only gets the first number and
then it's over. Yeah, Okay, let's move on, Okay, cono,
good morning?
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Uh? You know the excuse here is that I'm feeling
no pain at all.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Well, good morning to you, Good morning, Good morning, mister Bill.
Oh you're all in black this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, because I'm usually called fat on this show, so
I thought i'd you know, Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, you
think being all in black makes you thin? You should
be on the drugs that.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'm on, or you sound like it.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I do like that jacket though, sir. Oh it's a
super Bowl thing.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh, it's cool, it's cool.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It was.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was a given to you.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
It was, and I noticed it has Fox written all
over it. That's a good thing to do. An iHeart station.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Is actually we own Fox Sports.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh that's right, that's true. That's right, Thank you. I
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Ann, who has lost weight and is looking terrific. You are, No,
it's true, it's true. See when I say stuff like that,
you know I really mean it because I don't blow.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well it didn't hurt. Yes, we'll bet.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
The niceness is coming out of Bill because he's doped up.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I was talking to yesterday. I was talking.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I was talking to Savile yesterday and he had asked,
are you weaning off your drugs? No, not even close,
and Amy, of course, in one of her Disney garb.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I haven't had one on for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Really, yep, Hey, I'm gonna ask you a personal question.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, we're normally we know what Mormons wear, are the
magical underwear with a hieroglyphics on them? Does Disney offer
much the same thing with Mickey?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
You know what?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
They do have Disney underwear. I do not have any.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Why don't I believe? Why do I not believe what
you just said?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I would tell you.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
I do not have Disney underwear? Okay, both male and
female underwear with Mickey all over it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, I'm certainly interested in the female underwear on right now,
the extra long Dumbo.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Uh, leave yourself open. But it would be bad if
I commented on that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
All right, guys, it's Friday wearing Disney.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
But nothing.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Uh yeah, oh that's right. You have a little tiny Mickey.
I didn't notice that.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I beg your pardon.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's oh, it's oh, it's very small though. I thought
those were just coffee stains.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I was in the park yesterday. My wife and I
had a day date yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh, that's cool, all right. How crowded was a park?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It was the longest line to get into the parking
structure I've ever seen in my entire days of going
to Disneyland.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Yet the park was a delight. It was the weirdest thing.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Took us forty five minutes just to get off the
freeway and into the park.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
But the park was delightful. Waits for thirty minutes or so,
and okay, wh time did you go at like ten?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, you need to wait till one.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Okay, guys, let's actually get some news in if we can.
It's handle on the news. What's news? Yeah, I know,
Amy Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, as you know, the House is firmly behind the
Trump budget, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
The way it works with the president.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
President proposes a budget, the House and Senate have to
pass it, and the President has to either sign it
or not sign it. It's that simple. There's no a
line item veto the way California governor has.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
So the House says, okay, whatever you want.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
The Senate Republicans saying no, no, we're not going to
pass this budget.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
We've got a lot of changes in mind.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
This big, beautiful budget isn't that big. We're going to
reduce it and is not that beautiful. So there's going
to be a fight, and a lot of it has
to do with the deficit spending. They're drawing the line
and saying we're done. We're back to actually having some
republican hawks.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
God forbid. Okay, moving on.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
First, face to face, but the big dogs are no show.
The first direct talks between Ukraine and Russia on ending
their three year war are underway in Istanbul, Turkey, but
expectations are low that anything's going to actually be decided.
Kiev wants an unconditional ceasefire to the fighting. Moscow wants
(08:50):
to address the root causes of the conflict and also
wants to keep a lot of land that they have
taken over.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And Putin didn't show up for the talk yesterday.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
A Zelenski was there, but now neither one of them
are there, and it's lower level delegations talking.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And President Trump said this is not going to happen
until I force it, and I am there to make
this happen.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He may be right, by the way.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
He may be right with the pressure that he can
put on this entire situation. By the way, Moscow's root
causes are You're right, keeping the land, keeping a third
of Ukraine as Russia annexing it, and Ukraine never being
a member of NATO.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Those are the two root causes of this.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
All right, Supreme Court, big time wrestling going on there
with the Trump administration's complaints the federal judges have exceeded
their authority. This has to do with them temporarily blocking
some of his policy moves. But he's saying they're blocking
it for the whole country. Several justices says are going,
you know, they're kind of torn on this. They're skeptical
(09:58):
that a single district judge should have the power to
freeze executive actions throughout the nation.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
But they're also troubled.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
By, you know, all the legal stuff that goes with
it in consequences and you know the underlying case in.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, there's two issues here.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Issue number one, does a one judge, one federal district
court judge, have the ability to stop a nationwide program?
And that's a legitimate question. That is an absolute legitimate question.
Now the lawsuit, the underlying lawsuit is the birthright citizenship,
which I believe the court is going to see. Gee,
(10:35):
it says that in the fourteenth Amendment, which you really
want to unravel that. And if you do, all you
have to do is pass the constitutional Amendment. Two thirds
of Congress, two thirds of both sides of Congress and
three quarters of the state legislatures.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It's all you need.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
But there is a clause in it. And I think
that clause could be argued, right, Oh that.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Is, yeah, under the jurisdiction thereof But I you know
what be how can you not be under the jurisdiction
of the United States when you're in the United States.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
That's the questions, that's the whole point. Then then the
logic would argue, why was it put in there if
it was so obvious?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
That means it means something else?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Right, No, not necessarily at all. No, I don't buy
that at all.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Second Emit it's an empty clause.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It can be.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
And yes, the Court eliminates empty clauses all the time.
Second Amendment. When we're talking about the militia, the Court
has ignored that that's an empty clause. As far as
Supreme Court is concerned, all they care about is the
right to bear arms or the right to arm bearers
is one of the two.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, moving on, Notice I cut you off there, Yeah, yes, okay,
there we go. I like doing that to Neil.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Okay, moving on, options running out for Billy and Tina.
A judge has declined a request for a temporary restraining
order that would have stopped the La Zoo from transferring
Asian elephants Billy and Tina to the Tulsa Zoo. Now
they've been at the zoo, but they're saying, you know what,
the space is too small. It's not conducive for them
(12:08):
to be healthy. There's no other elephants for them to
hang out with. They need to go to a better place.
So the LAZO says we're going to take them to Tulsa.
Activists said it's not good enough. They need to be
at a sanctuary and that's why they asked for that
temporary restraining order. But the Superior Court judge said the
issue would be better handled through the city council rather.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
No kidding, no kidding. It's a council issue.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Is whether to transfer elephants.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Were they to make determination because the La City Zoo
is controlled by the City council. La City Zoo is
simply a division of the City Council or they control it.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
It's an administrative agency.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
And then the issue is these groups of people, they
will decide where these elephants are going to go, because
not only do they not want these going to Tulsa.
They're going to say, and here's where we do want
the elephants to go.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, who the hell are you?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You don't like it, get elected to the city council
and change it.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Moving forward, it's gonna be a long morning.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Former director of the FBI, James call Me yesterday took
down an Instagram post. Why did he take it down, Well,
he took a picture of seashells spelling out the numbers
eighty six forty seven. So Republicans came out and said,
it's a threat against Donald Trump. Number eighty six obviously
means to toss something out, while forty seven corresponds with
(13:32):
his current office as forty seventh president.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
So eighty six cannot, for example, mean impeach him or
oh no, we can't, because if you listen to Homeland
Security Secretary Christy Nome, she said outright, it is a threat,
an assassination threat against the president, and call me should
be put in prison right now for that threat.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
That's how crazy this is, which.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Is so ridiculous because it's like saying that in the
in the back of a restaurant when they say, hey,
eighty six. The stake special they mean kill it ya, No,
I means assassinated it right, I can't do it?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, and I'm surprised.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Well, come on, it was in bad taste to post this, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
But he was fired, he was he was fired.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Comy was fired by the president and he said, let's
get rid of him now. It could be Is it
a threat? I don't know. I would argue, if I'm
the defense here, I would say, what are you talking about.
I'm just saying he should be removed, and we have
a legal basis to do that.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
It is in horrible taste, But I do not believe
that the former FBI head of the FBI was saying
kill him. And that's exactly what he would do it
in seashells, he'd make a phone call.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Well, first of all, his wife would actually do it
because she and Anne would be paid for doing it,
because she would be selling she sells by the seashore.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I almost I have a very hard time with that.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I know that was a stretch. I know that was
a huge, huge stretch.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Okay, here's in the mafia. Eighty six.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
The term this is according to Newsweek, the term eighty
six refers to taking somebody eight miles out of town
and putting them six feet under.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Oh, how about calling someone a watch?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
How about calling someone a wise guy? What does that mean? Well,
in the mafia, that means you're a made man and
you've killed someone, you're a wise guy.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So you can't use that phrase.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
It's just a big stretch, it is.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
You've got it.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Literally, You've got literally idiots coming out on social media
saying kill the president.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Literally. Yeah, but they're not. But they're not former FBI heads.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
As you pointed out, there's a big difference because this
puts on a whole different level.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh, also, god forbid, you actually go to the fish
market and they wrap the fish in newspapers, you're dead.
That's what that means. The fishwonger wants you dead. That
is giving you a.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Warning you're going to be. Yeah, said you're going to
swim with the fishes.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Sleep with the fishes. If you're swimming with the fishes,
you're alive. You hidhit.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Well, it's all so, but you just you don't have
to say sleep with the fishes. All you have to
do is deliver the dead fish in a news Concrete
shoes that was a little bit more difficult. Yes, concrete
shoes are a little more specific.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
COVID recommendations could be changing. Only older Americans and those
with chronic health problems might be recommended to get the
COVID shot, assuming there's vaccine available at all. So for
years advisors for the CDC have been debating whether to
continue to recommend that American six months and up be immunized.
(17:01):
But now they're going to figure out whether they want
to keep that recommendation. And requirements for clinical testing of
vaccines may delay the availability of shops shots anyway that
had been updated without complicated trials, So there might not
even be vaccine to get.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, two issues there. One makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Who is going to be recommended because we owe a
lot of people overreacted as to COVID in the vaccines
and remote learning, me being one of.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Them, by the way, I being one of them.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
But you know, clinical trials, how do you do clinical
trials with a vaccine that mutates every year?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
You don't.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
You can't, which wouldn't it be more like a flu
vaccine because they changed.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That and they're talking about RFK is talking about doing
clinical trials on the flu vaccine, every single flu vaccine
that comes out.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
How do you do that kind of have clinical trials
in the bag after you've given.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's exactly what Senator Bill Cassidy said. That's exactly what
he said. If it's a variation of a vaccine that
has already been proven effective, you don't have to do
again double blind study, placebo based studies. All right, one more, Oh,
we got to go through these fairly quickly.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
All right.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Military commanders told to identify troops in their units who
are transgender or have gender dysphoria and then send them
to the medical unit to get checked in order to
force them out of the service.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
That's unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
A senior defense official laid out what could be a
very complicated and lengthying new process aimed fulfilling, of course,
Donald Trump's directive to remove transgender service members from the
US military.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Beyond that, not recognizing there is anything as a transgender.
If you were born a woman, you are a woman.
If you were born a man, you are a man. Notwithstanding,
I know it's complicated, it's complicated, but to me, it's
like if somebody's willing to serve our country and they're
(19:07):
American citizens.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
There's got to be some way to figure out, and
there's there are.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Some practical issues going on. Amy, when's the last time
you peed a urinal?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
I don't think I ever have.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Oh, there you go, I rest, I rest, I rest
my case. Okay, why don't we go ahead?
Speaker 5 (19:26):
What hannicks when we're coming back? You peeded a urinal? No,
I look like the type of sits down to me.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I squat okay, yeah, yeahat okay. See that's too much,
too much information.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Moving on.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's a date.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Lyle and Eric Menendez will go before parole board next
month on June thirteenth. This follows them being granted their
first chance at freedom in decades when a judge resentenced
them to fifty years to life in prison instead of
life without parole. Governor Newsom has converted the brothers previously
scheduled clemency hearing that was scheduled for June thirteenth into
(20:04):
a regular parole board hearing, so that could expedite them
being released, or it could still be months and years,
and if parole is granted, it would still be up
to the governor to approve or deny it.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I do believe that they're going to be released.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
If I had to guess on June thirteenth.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yep, I think they're going to get it first time out.
My guess don't know more than what I'm seeing, reading
and feeling, but my guess.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So, what if we find out that their parents were molested,
and then so on and so on and so on,
we just keep excusing people from their actions.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Well, I mean, at some point you do excuse people,
you know.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
I think there were some mitigating circumstances in that tib absolutely.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
I'm just saying, like.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
If the jury, if the jury had heard of mitigating circumstances.
First jury was hung, it was hung. So second jury,
the judge was didn't want to have another one saint judge.
He excluded all of that evidence, and the jury came
back very quickly with a first agree murder charge. And
(21:10):
so you know, yeah, they're gonna get released, and that
you have a very good point.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
How far does that go? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
You know, I'm pushing the blame rack, but.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
This is first generation. This is first generation. I killed
my parents because.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Okay, Neil, all right, more than one hundred and thirty
four thousand Los Angeles County residents will soon get an
envelope in the mail that says medical debt.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
But't before you freak out.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
The envelope has good news in it, and that is
the Los Angeles County Supervisors post a question, what instead
of collection agencies and all that mischig as, what if
the county purchased medical debt and gives people much needed relief?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And they do it five cents on And they do
it five cents on the dollar, because effectively, what they're
telling the creditor saying, hey, you better aren't you better
off five cents on dollar than no money?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Can that be done privately, of course, but this is
a governmental program and that's your tax dollars at work.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
But don't you feel better about that versus schooling school
debt because people go into school debt on their own.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Right, that's a choice.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, And there's a whole and it's harder to get
out of school debt, which it should be the medical debt.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Medical debt you go bankrupt on.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
But I pretty well miss that's the whole topic onto itself,
which we should do at some point.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
Moving on, train traffic at a standstill, Thank god, we
don't have this system.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
It's in New Jersey.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Engineers at the New Jersey Transit went on strike early
this morning. All the trains in the nation's third largest
commuter rail service have come to a screeching halt. It's
expected to affect about one hundred thousand people who take
the rail every day, commuters, businesses across the New York
metropolitan area, and also fans of Shakira and Beyonce because
(23:07):
those two have concerts planned for a football stadium just
outside Manhattan in the next couple of days.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Thank goodness, We're never going to have this problem because
we're never going to have a transit system.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Well we have when it just is not good.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, not good at all.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You know, even with their transit shut down in Jersey,
still moves faster than the four or five that's correct.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer denounced as a total disgrace
the Trump administration's apparent decision to allow seventeen relatives of
Mexico's most notorious drug trafficker, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman to
(23:41):
enter the United States. So basically, he came out and
said Donald Trump and Republicans love to talk tough about
how they're tough on border security, he said on the
Senate floor. So you can imagine our surprise to read
that Donald Trump is making deals with drug cartels to
come now.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
But look at the deal.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It's not like they're coming in being released. They're coming
in and pleading guilty and we'll spend forty years in prison.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
There's a big difference.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Between just letting them come into the country.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Don't use reason, it's bumming people out. Just be emotional.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, so what's Suber talking about? I mean, that's kind
of nuts. Okay, let's do one more.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Twisters from Chicago to Nashville. They could have some severe storms.
Thunderstorms have already been moving through parts of the central US,
which is trouble for tens of millions of people where
some areas have already been hit by when gusts hail tornadoes.
It's part of what will likely be a week long
stretch of nasty weather with an increasing chance of severe storms.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Today.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
May is typically the busiest month of them all for tornadoes.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Have you seen the video? It is crazy out there
with the tornadoes.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
All you have you caught up at a tornado, all
you do is click your heels three times and then
you die.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Don't you look at other natural disasters in the US
and go I'll just take earthquakes.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, earthquakes are very quick. I mean, you either dead,
you're not dead. That bookcase fell out of your head
where it didn't, and you're basically over. You have the aftershocks,
I mean, you know, but nothing like a hurricane or
a tornado or flooding to that extent.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
How many people died in the north Ridge quake?
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Oh, not very many? You had what maybe thirty thirty five?
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Yeah, I mean that's horrible, but yeah, I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Hey, sirih how many people died in the north Ridge earthquakes?
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Yeah you said fifty seven?
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Yeah, because I said it was close, but not very much.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It was a bad one, Suri, I asked, Kno, okay,
Now if you go, Now, if you go and ask
how many people died in some little town outside of
Istanbul with the same severity.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Now it's in the tens.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Of thousands of people who die different building codes.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All right, we're done, guys.
