Yeah, because Cono does too.
Speaker 7 (06:34):

Speaker 3 (06:45):
How much of it has to do how much of

Speaker 4 (06:52):
A lot.
Speaker 3 (06:54):

Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's really a thing.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Mike, kids, I have a side hustle and that is
spending my money.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
They Barbara Wills, you old, do they hustle me? Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yes, Okay, guys, let's do it. We've got plenty of
news to share this morning. It's time for Handle on
the News on a Friday, and we have some fun
stuff foody Friday, and then ask handle anything. And I'm
assuming Neil, we have some good phone calls this morning.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, fair enough, we do. Okay, let's tell you guys.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
We've got some good stuff in there.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Good good handle on the news with Amy, Neil and
me lead story. A big decision yesterday by the ninth
US Circuit Court of Appeals, and that had to do
with a lawsuit stopping or trying to stop President Trump
from bringing in the Marines. Well, not so much the Marines,
certainly federalizing the National Guard against the wishes of our governor.
(07:56):
And lawsuit was filed and the court said, nope, that
Trump has the authority. It was a little bit technical.
One of the arguments that the Trump administration says that
his decision is not even reviewable by the courts, and
the court said, nah, it is, but we give great
(08:17):
deference to the President, which means his decision has to
be so insane to bring.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
In the National Guard, which it was not.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And so the president it's as I said, we're moving
towards an imperial presidency where more and that's not just
Trump either, more and more power is being given to
the president at every moment. All right, let's take a
break and we will go through a lot more stories
if we can, and we will. We can't if I
(08:50):
handle here Friday lab it is first day of summer,
longest day of the year, and we return to handle
on the news with Amy Neil and Me.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Two weeks to weigh in.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
President Trump has said a two week deadline to decide
if the US is going to get involved in the
Iran Israel conflict. The president said, according to White House
Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt, there's a substantial chance of
negotiations that may or may not take place in the
near future. So the President says, will make his decision
(09:24):
on whether or not to go within the next two
weeks so by July third, and then Levitt said Trump
would prefer a diplomatic solution, says that they're weighing in
on military intervention to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
And of course we are the only ones who have
the military, well, the aircraft and the bomb that could
(09:49):
take out that main nuclear facility with the Bunkerbuster.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah, the only ones in the world who have that.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, it's thirty thousand pounds bomb. And the B two
is the only aircraft that can pick up and deliver
a bomb that that heavy. Interesting, it's an interesting piece
of weaponry. This is the MAGA is completely split on
a split on this one.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And yesterday I thought Trump was going to go for it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I now have my doubts because there's there are too
many people that are saying no destabilization. There's a lot
going on with this, and it's going to turn out
that if the bomb is used, there will be attacks
on American forces in the Meydie. There's no question about that.
And you know, we're going to talk a lot more
(10:37):
about this over the next two weeks. So the President
said there may be negotiations, there may be some sitting
down and talking there may be the ability for them
to cut a deal, and there may be his decision
to maybe drop the bomb.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I thought that was pretty equivocal.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Maybe maybe okay, moving on all right, if you live
on the eastern side of Los Angeles, you are no
stranger to Dodger Stadium traffic.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
But yesterday a little bit different. You had SUVs, unmarked
white vans lining up. They were Federal Immigration agents inside,
and according to Dodgers officials, the agents were denied entry
to the grounds and the parking structure parking lot. Rather
there at the main Sunset gate off vin Scully Avenue.
(11:30):
They moved over to the downtown gate, which is near
the one ten freeway. There but dozens of vehicles they
couldn't get in there, And then you started having several
dozen protesters gathering near the remaining came.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Up with there.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
First of all, I've heard so many different stories from
the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
One of them is we weren't there at all. Okay,
thank you, there's video.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
The other one was we weren't there to pick up illegals.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
We were there.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Only reason we were there is because one of the
trucks broke down. Have they ever heard of a tow
truck and everybody else goes on their way. No, you
have when there's a breakdown, all of them have to
get together. Of course, they were there waiting for people
because there's so many Hispanics who go to the Dodger game.
It's a huge portion of their fan base. So it's yeah,
(12:21):
there was no question they were there to pick up people.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
How do you do that at a place like that?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You just grab people, you know, you look at them.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
And but that's not what they've been doing. They've been
targeting people.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, they have been targeting people, but picking up folks,
targeting people where they're going to home depot, They're grabbing
people in mass that's the problem. They're asking people, are
you an American citizen? Questioning people? And there's just too
much of that. Are they targeting people?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yes they are.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Is there a big broom that's sweeping up a whole
lot of people, Yes, there is. That's the problem. Yeah,
their intentions are let's just target the criminals. Okay, and
that's fair, but Steve Miller wants three thousand migrants picked up,
sort of come hell or high water.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'll tell you one thing. If nothing, I'm.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Sorry, no, I apologize.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
I was just saying that if you the way you'd
know someone's criminals. There's a paper trail, right, and you
think that would be the easiest people to pick up
first paper trail and they're criminals.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, but how do you find them? They disappear, they're
under the radar. How you know they're going to the
Dodger game. You have to do a lot of intelligence.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
And I'm just saying that the broad brush stuff and
the dragnet seemed bizarre.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well, I'll tell you something else that I think works
in the favor of DHS, not so much that I
believe what they're doing is right. Is if they are scared,
if they're the intent is to scare people and get
them they held out of the United States.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It is working.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
People are scared to death of DHS, those who are Hispanic.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
We had a story yesterday that about a million people
have self deported.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, so that part of it is working.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Here's a new equation. Fires equals higher rents. Rent costs
have been tracked by three local consumer price indexes in
LA and Orange Counties, the Inland Empire in San Diego County.
They were compared to nationwide patterns, and they found that locally,
May's five point one percent average rent hike across Southern
(14:41):
California was one above December's three point eight percent hike,
and also Southern California's rent inflation was one point three
percentage points higher than the US average.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, makes sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Fewer homes that are available for rent the thousands, So tough,
let's do one at least one more and then we'll
take a break, all right.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
So the US Border Patrol agents recently discovered this three
thousand foot long narcotics smuggling tunnel. They disabled it as well.
It's sitting beneath the US Mexico border, so it goes
from Tijuana and San Diego. And in early April, while
it was actively under construction, they came across it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, and are filling it up with concrete. Well, so
much for that one, but it reminds you of number one.
The Middle East with Wahamas did and El Chapo did
this to get out of prison a few times in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
These pretty sophisticated.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Tunnels too, not just ventilation and lighting, but railroad tracks
that they move either people or narcotics through.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
It's almost three thousand feet long, and it wasn't done.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I know a bitch of their happy campers.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah over half a mile.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, oh well over half a mile.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
All right, we'll take a break, come back, and we've
got more Handle on the news.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
KFI Handle Here Morning, Foody Friday Morning, June twentieth, longest
day of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Solstice is upon us.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And you're no doubt going to see video of a
bunch of people addressed as druids dancing around Stone Henge,
holding hands and singing weird songs and incantations and cutting
chickens heads off.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And whatever the hell they do. Just the weirdest people
in the world. Okay, no, they are weirder. Actually there
are weirder people.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Okay, moving on, more Handle on the news, Amy, Neil
and me.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
Probably harder to get seats on ICE flights these days.
Lots people leaving on planes flights out of LA Area
airports related to ICE. Immigration and Customs enforcement deportations have
more than doubled in the last month. An I spokesperson
says that the agency does not provide details about future
flights for security reasons, but that a lot of people
(17:19):
are leaving the country.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You had said that the uh, these voluntary deport self deportations.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Uh. And they charter airlines.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
That's a good business to be in, owning airlines that
chartered the government to the government right now.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
That is a growth business, to save the least.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
And I don't think these one the I don't think
these are the self deporters. I think these are the
ones I think rounded up right, ice flown out.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I agree. I think self deporters are on their own well.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
And then Christy Domid said several times that if you
want to self deport, call us. We'll give you a
flight home and then give you a thousand bucks and
then you can apply to come back.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, we plan come back is impossible. I mean everybody
knows that there's no chance of that happening.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
But you don't think.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
No, no, maybe the next Democratic administration. But I think
that ship has sailed welcoming people into the United States immigrants. Boy,
has that ship sailed? Can you imagine the political fallout
of that one?
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Was Regan the last president to do an amnesty?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yep, he was. There were two that he did.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
How come Democrats haven't just done an amnesty amnesty when
they were in office.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Because amnesty is across the board by the millions, and
we're just not prepared to do that, just not prepared
to do that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And there were mass deportations.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
What's the difference.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Yeah, they're here, if people are already here.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
If they're already here, that's well, there's your amnesty if
people are here. But the point is it's a philosophy
of they are here illegally, uh, and we do not
want them here versus they are here illegally and we
do want them here, and they happen to be violating
the law, and so we changed the law where we
(19:14):
grant amnesty.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It's gone both ways.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You had Dwight Eisenhower that mass deportation by the millions,
and that was Operation Wetback. And as much as you
may be offended by that term, that was the official
government term. That was you get it, look up operation wetback.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
When was that?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
That was in the fifties. Oh okay, yeah, that was Yeah,
try doing that today.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Huh wow.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
So you know a long time you heard the arguments
from those that smoke marijuana that you know, it's fine,
and it's better than alcohol. Well, marijuana used dramatically increases
the risk of dying from heart attacks and stroke, says
this large study that they just did. You know, this
doubles the risks, so they say, people mostly between.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
The ages of nineteen and fifty nine. It's never been
my never been my jam.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, but what a crock you know, coffee, yes or no.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Egg's going to kill you, not kill you. Exercise going
to kill you, not kill you. I haven't believe in
exercise killing you. It's a yeah, I don't care. I mean,
it's every study and there's and none of this is
actual causation.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
It's all, you know, incidental. I don't buy any of it.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
The thing to me is the smoking. If you're doing.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It, that's right. No, it's true. I mean smoking with
the lungs. But you don't smoke enough of it anyway,
you know. It's not like people pick up twenty joints
a day and smoke it the way you do cigarettes.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
But you don't hold cigarette smoke in your lungs. First.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Some people do twenty seconds, some people do and twenty
seconds is I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I don't know the physiological part of that.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Disinformation is putting police in harms way. Local police departments
are putting out statements and warning that bad information about
possible immigration enforcement operations is putting everybody at risk, both
officers and residents. They're saying it's leading to protests, public panic,
dangerous encounters. This week, protesters gathered outside a hotel in
(21:30):
Rancho Cucamonga after rumors of ICE agents staying there, and
that prompted a response from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department,
And then in another post, officials were saying, hey, don't
assume that all unmarked white vehicles are ICE because the
sheriff's departments, police departments, they also have them and they
(21:51):
have nothing to do with ICE.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
All Right, It's become a huge problem.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Every single day, I will probably get between I don't know,
fifteen and thirty alerts today. Here's what I just got
my area alone that says, hey, ICE is here.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
ICE is there? ICE is here? ICE is there?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Sorry, Amy, you were.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Saying, oh, I just said I just got one two
minutes ago. Is ICE really going to head city terrorists today?
Or they were going to get active by cal State?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Like there? Yeah, I get them all the time too.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And you and I live in this similar area.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
All right, let's do one more and we'll take a break.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
All right.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
A group of students, alumni, and volunteers from University of
Southern California. They've come together to help people with upcoming
immigration related court hearings. As we were just talking about,
this become a massive thing. They have civil rights advocate
initiatives that they're putting together court hearings that have moved online,
(22:50):
all kinds of things, and they're encouraging people to educate
themselves and understand what's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Obviously, Yeah, you call the hotline, you don't speak a
word of English, and they teach you how to say
no thanks.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Well, the whole point picked up by immigration.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
The whole point is that they teach people how to
do the hearings online.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Establish a hearing, and hope, hopefully that means if you
get a hearing online, there's no place you are that
you're going to be picked up exact or even worse,
arrested at the.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Courthouse, which has been happening even Yeah, a couple of
people who've gone to do it properly.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
We've got to file their paperwork and then walk.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Out and there's ice waiting for you. It's a different world,
all right. Now, we'll take a break and come back
and we'll finish up handle on the news on this
longest day of the year, Friday, June twentieth. Okay, five am,
six forty bill handle here footy Friday, longest day of
the year, June twentieth.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
The solstice is upon us finishing a handle on the news,
Amy and Neil and me.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Let's see paid off for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. They
are getting a four hundred percent pay raise this season,
and it apparently may have a direct correlation to the
new season of the Netflix series America's Sweethearts. Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders,
of course, they've been pushing for increases for years. In
(24:22):
twenty nineteen, they finally got their pay increased from two
hundred dollars to four hundred dollars per game, and the
new raise is four times that amount.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
At seventy five dollars per hour, which for dancing around
And yeah, it seems that that is more reasonable, doesn't it.
And how difficult it is to get that kind of job.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Yeah, there's a lot of competition to be adopted and.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
They're yeah, and they all should be models. I mean,
they are gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And I know that's completely sexists and I'm objectifying these women.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
And well, but they're putting themselves in that position to
be objectified, right.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
And if they put themselves out in that position, they're
going to make a lot more than seventy five dollars
an hour.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Well, we'll have to ask Sam about that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Sorry, I was cutting the.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Audio I had good.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
That's okay. We're making veiled references to porn. Oh, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, I'll talk to you about that off the air.
It's pass safe harbor.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Moving on, Neil, your microphone is not on?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
What about now?
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
We are you now?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Now we can all right?
Speaker 7 (25:41):
So President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday extending
the deadline for TikTok's parent company to divest the popular
video sharing app by ninety days, which is what he
keeps doing another ninety days, ninety's ongoing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
This's the third time out and the company Bite Me is.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
No Bite Dance.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It was one of those Yeah, what do I know?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
And this is one of the things that the president
does is make a decision and then okay, I'll hold
off and then make a decision and go.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'll hold off. So this is a third go for TikTok.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I wonder why.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
He's pushing it back because he doesn't have a deal.
But why not just shut him down?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Because I think there's a lot of pressure obviously, and
I wouldn't even know who backs that up, because I
would think other social media companies would love to see
TikTok out of the United States, leaving a huge market
for them. So I don't know, and I'm oh, you
know what here it is?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Originally he hated TikTok, and then it turned out that
TikTok was responsible for a huge amount of support for him.
It turned around and he is into loyalty more than.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Any anybody else.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I mean, if you are loyal, and it doesn't matter
if you credentials or not, you too can be secretary
of insert name of a department here, And that's yeah,
it's I think it's about loyalty.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I think that resonates.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Okay, personally, I love Alaska.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
But a new study says the Delta Airlines is the
highest ranked airline that's by the points guy.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
He topped.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Delta topped the twenty twenty five list, which ranks airlines
based on reliability, loyalty programs, cost, and reach. Delta's on
top for the seventh year in a row. United rose
from third place in twenty twenty four to second place
behind Delta, partly because of improvements in reliability and passenger experience.
Southwest Airlines is third, Alaska's fourth, and Hawaiian Airlines jumped
(27:49):
two spots up from seventh to fifth place.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
My question is how did Spirit and Frontier make the top.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Ten because there's only ten airlines?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Okay, well they should have been thirty or forty anyways,
even with only ten.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, they should leave all the immigrants alone and
just deport every plane that is Frontier or Spirit land
in Mexico. All right, President Donald Trump, you know he
appointed Powell Chair of the Federal Reserve, Chair Jerome Powell
(28:25):
to the role in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
But man, he doesn't like him anymore.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
He is calling for a massive two point five point
reduction in interest rate, which is like the equivalent of
ten FED rate cuts.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, it's never happened. It's simply never happened.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
And so he is blaming Jerome Powell for any problems,
any financial problems, economic problems we have. And my favorite
quote of the day from Donald Trump, too late, Jerome
Powell is costing our country hundreds of billions of dollars.
He is truly one of the dumbest and most destructive
people in government, and the Fedboard is complicit. One thing
(29:07):
you got to give Trump credit for. He does not
do political speak that he does not. He shoots from
the hip and I can't think of any other president
who has ever done this, and I think that's a
lot of white people love him so much.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
You will not see the rockets red glare above the
Rose Bowl for this Fourth of July fireworks spectacular because
it's been replaced. Pasadena is boosting its police in firefighter
presidents to keep fireworks out of the city. And for
the fireworks show, they're passing on fireworks and replacing it
with a drone show, which is probably going to be really,
(29:45):
really spectacular.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Now, they don't want to mix up the drones because
you've got drones that are used for entertainment and drones
that could come in and take.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Out every building on Colorado Boulevard. So I'm assuming they're
not mixing them up.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
I'm assuming have you seen a drone show in person?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Not in person?
Speaker 9 (30:07):
There's what at Dodger Stadium tonight. They also replace fireworks.
They're doing drones instead.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Yeah, you can do so.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You can do so much more with drones. But at
the same time, they're not fireworks. They don't have the
big explosion. You can't smell them, you know that cordite,
which is just something that is neat. But at the
same time, you can do amazing things with drones that
you can't do with fireworks.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
You could tell a story with drones.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
This is the thing that I like, I saw one
last Fourth of July that was spectacular. That was just
like this big storytelling theme of Los Angeles that was
really neat.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
All. Right, guys, we're done. That's it done.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
With the news coming up, the Nice Circuit yesterday made
a decision giving the Trump administration a big win.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I mean, there's no way around that one. This is
KFI A M six forty.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI A
M six forty
You're listening to camp i Am six forty the Bill
Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Why would
you go to AI as opposed to what are the
big stories today?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
For example?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well, let me do this one, hey, Siri, what are
the headline stories today? Here we go Trump to again
extend TikTok's reprieve.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Wait wait, wait, wait for the Panthers win second straight.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
What Surrey is?
Speaker 2 (00:34):

to Sofi yesterday. And how do we know because and
ran into him, I sure did. Yeah, And who works
at so far because we're gonna probably do this later

hustle lands.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
You work, you are you are, yeah, hard worker. And
then what Anne does.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Is work at so FI and will work late, which
is occasionally why she can't come here. But she's here
having not slept one minute coming here.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And that's tough you can do. I was talking to Anne.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
You could do that in your twenties, you know, when
you're crazy or going to school, going to college.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
You're up all night and pulling all nighters. But man,
you know, not at our age. Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Cono is pretty good.

Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
So I've got the productions and dealing with you know,

every single one of us on the show, has a

Yeah, because Cono does too.
Speaker 7 (06:34):

a thing.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's really a thing.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Mike, kids, I have a side hustle and that is
spending my money.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
They Barbara Wills, you old, do they hustle me? Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yes, Okay, guys, let's do it. We've got plenty of
news to share this morning. It's time for Handle on
the News on a Friday, and we have some fun
stuff foody Friday, and then ask handle anything. And I'm
assuming Neil, we have some good phone calls this morning.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, fair enough, we do. Okay, let's tell you guys.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
We've got some good stuff in there.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Good good handle on the news with Amy, Neil and
me lead story. A big decision yesterday by the ninth
US Circuit Court of Appeals, and that had to do
with a lawsuit stopping or trying to stop President Trump
from bringing in the Marines. Well, not so much the Marines,
certainly federalizing the National Guard against the wishes of our governor.
(07:56):
And lawsuit was filed and the court said, nope, that
Trump has the authority. It was a little bit technical.
One of the arguments that the Trump administration says that
his decision is not even reviewable by the courts, and
the court said, nah, it is, but we give great
(08:17):
deference to the President, which means his decision has to
be so insane to bring.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
In the National Guard, which it was not.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And so the president it's as I said, we're moving
towards an imperial presidency where more and that's not just
Trump either, more and more power is being given to
the president at every moment. All right, let's take a
break and we will go through a lot more stories
if we can, and we will. We can't if I
(08:50):
handle here Friday lab it is first day of summer,
longest day of the year, and we return to handle
on the news with Amy Neil and Me.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Two weeks to weigh in.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
President Trump has said a two week deadline to decide
if the US is going to get involved in the
Iran Israel conflict. The president said, according to White House
Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt, there's a substantial chance of
negotiations that may or may not take place in the
near future. So the President says, will make his decision
(09:24):
on whether or not to go within the next two
weeks so by July third, and then Levitt said Trump
would prefer a diplomatic solution, says that they're weighing in
on military intervention to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
And of course we are the only ones who have
the military, well, the aircraft and the bomb that could
(09:49):
take out that main nuclear facility with the Bunkerbuster.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Yeah, the only ones in the world who have that.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, it's thirty thousand pounds bomb. And the B two
is the only aircraft that can pick up and deliver
a bomb that that heavy. Interesting, it's an interesting piece
of weaponry. This is the MAGA is completely split on
a split on this one.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And yesterday I thought Trump was going to go for it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I now have my doubts because there's there are too
many people that are saying no destabilization. There's a lot
going on with this, and it's going to turn out
that if the bomb is used, there will be attacks
on American forces in the Meydie. There's no question about that.
And you know, we're going to talk a lot more
(10:37):
about this over the next two weeks. So the President
said there may be negotiations, there may be some sitting
down and talking there may be the ability for them
to cut a deal, and there may be his decision
to maybe drop the bomb.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I thought that was pretty equivocal.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Maybe maybe okay, moving on all right, if you live
on the eastern side of Los Angeles, you are no
stranger to Dodger Stadium traffic.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
But yesterday a little bit different. You had SUVs, unmarked
white vans lining up. They were Federal Immigration agents inside,
and according to Dodgers officials, the agents were denied entry
to the grounds and the parking structure parking lot. Rather
there at the main Sunset gate off vin Scully Avenue.
(11:30):
They moved over to the downtown gate, which is near
the one ten freeway. There but dozens of vehicles they
couldn't get in there, And then you started having several
dozen protesters gathering near the remaining came.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Up with there.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
First of all, I've heard so many different stories from
the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
One of them is we weren't there at all. Okay,
thank you, there's video.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
The other one was we weren't there to pick up illegals.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
We were there.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Only reason we were there is because one of the
trucks broke down. Have they ever heard of a tow
truck and everybody else goes on their way. No, you
have when there's a breakdown, all of them have to
get together. Of course, they were there waiting for people
because there's so many Hispanics who go to the Dodger game.
It's a huge portion of their fan base. So it's yeah,
(12:21):
there was no question they were there to pick up people.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
How do you do that at a place like that?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
You just grab people, you know, you look at them.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
And but that's not what they've been doing. They've been
targeting people.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, they have been targeting people, but picking up folks,
targeting people where they're going to home depot, They're grabbing
people in mass that's the problem. They're asking people, are
you an American citizen? Questioning people? And there's just too
much of that. Are they targeting people?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yes they are.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Is there a big broom that's sweeping up a whole
lot of people, Yes, there is. That's the problem. Yeah,
their intentions are let's just target the criminals. Okay, and
that's fair, but Steve Miller wants three thousand migrants picked up,
sort of come hell or high water.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'll tell you one thing. If nothing, I'm.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Sorry, no, I apologize.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
I was just saying that if you the way you'd
know someone's criminals. There's a paper trail, right, and you
think that would be the easiest people to pick up
first paper trail and they're criminals.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, but how do you find them? They disappear, they're
under the radar. How you know they're going to the
Dodger game. You have to do a lot of intelligence.
Speaker 7 (13:39):
And I'm just saying that the broad brush stuff and
the dragnet seemed bizarre.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well, I'll tell you something else that I think works
in the favor of DHS, not so much that I
believe what they're doing is right. Is if they are scared,
if they're the intent is to scare people and get
them they held out of the United States.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
It is working.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
People are scared to death of DHS, those who are Hispanic.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
We had a story yesterday that about a million people
have self deported.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, so that part of it is working.
Speaker 9 (14:18):
Here's a new equation. Fires equals higher rents. Rent costs
have been tracked by three local consumer price indexes in
LA and Orange Counties, the Inland Empire in San Diego County.
They were compared to nationwide patterns, and they found that locally,
May's five point one percent average rent hike across Southern
(14:41):
California was one above December's three point eight percent hike,
and also Southern California's rent inflation was one point three
percentage points higher than the US average.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, makes sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Fewer homes that are available for rent the thousands, So tough,
let's do one at least one more and then we'll
take a break, all right.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
So the US Border Patrol agents recently discovered this three
thousand foot long narcotics smuggling tunnel. They disabled it as well.
It's sitting beneath the US Mexico border, so it goes
from Tijuana and San Diego. And in early April, while
it was actively under construction, they came across it.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah, and are filling it up with concrete. Well, so
much for that one, but it reminds you of number one.
The Middle East with Wahamas did and El Chapo did
this to get out of prison a few times in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
These pretty sophisticated.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Tunnels too, not just ventilation and lighting, but railroad tracks
that they move either people or narcotics through.
Speaker 6 (15:57):
It's almost three thousand feet long, and it wasn't done.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
I know a bitch of their happy campers.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah over half a mile.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, oh well over half a mile.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
All right, we'll take a break, come back, and we've
got more Handle on the news.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
KFI Handle Here Morning, Foody Friday Morning, June twentieth, longest
day of the year.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Solstice is upon us.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And you're no doubt going to see video of a
bunch of people addressed as druids dancing around Stone Henge,
holding hands and singing weird songs and incantations and cutting
chickens heads off.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
And whatever the hell they do. Just the weirdest people
in the world. Okay, no, they are weirder. Actually there
are weirder people.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Okay, moving on, more Handle on the news, Amy, Neil
and me.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
Probably harder to get seats on ICE flights these days.
Lots people leaving on planes flights out of LA Area
airports related to ICE. Immigration and Customs enforcement deportations have
more than doubled in the last month. An I spokesperson
says that the agency does not provide details about future
flights for security reasons, but that a lot of people
(17:19):
are leaving the country.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You had said that the uh, these voluntary deport self deportations.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Uh. And they charter airlines.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
That's a good business to be in, owning airlines that
chartered the government to the government right now.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
That is a growth business, to save the least.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
And I don't think these one the I don't think
these are the self deporters. I think these are the
ones I think rounded up right, ice flown out.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I agree. I think self deporters are on their own well.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
And then Christy Domid said several times that if you
want to self deport, call us. We'll give you a
flight home and then give you a thousand bucks and
then you can apply to come back.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, we plan come back is impossible. I mean everybody
knows that there's no chance of that happening.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
But you don't think.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
No, no, maybe the next Democratic administration. But I think
that ship has sailed welcoming people into the United States immigrants. Boy,
has that ship sailed? Can you imagine the political fallout
of that one?
Speaker 7 (18:22):
Was Regan the last president to do an amnesty?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yep, he was. There were two that he did.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
How come Democrats haven't just done an amnesty amnesty when
they were in office.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Because amnesty is across the board by the millions, and
we're just not prepared to do that, just not prepared
to do that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And there were mass deportations.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
What's the difference.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Yeah, they're here, if people are already here.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
If they're already here, that's well, there's your amnesty if
people are here. But the point is it's a philosophy
of they are here illegally, uh, and we do not
want them here versus they are here illegally and we
do want them here, and they happen to be violating
the law, and so we changed the law where we
(19:14):
grant amnesty.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It's gone both ways.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
You had Dwight Eisenhower that mass deportation by the millions,
and that was Operation Wetback. And as much as you
may be offended by that term, that was the official
government term. That was you get it, look up operation wetback.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
When was that?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
That was in the fifties. Oh okay, yeah, that was Yeah,
try doing that today.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Huh wow.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
So you know a long time you heard the arguments
from those that smoke marijuana that you know, it's fine,
and it's better than alcohol. Well, marijuana used dramatically increases
the risk of dying from heart attacks and stroke, says
this large study that they just did. You know, this
doubles the risks, so they say, people mostly between.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
The ages of nineteen and fifty nine. It's never been
my never been my jam.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yeah, but what a crock you know, coffee, yes or no.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Egg's going to kill you, not kill you. Exercise going
to kill you, not kill you. I haven't believe in
exercise killing you. It's a yeah, I don't care. I mean,
it's every study and there's and none of this is
actual causation.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
It's all, you know, incidental. I don't buy any of it.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
The thing to me is the smoking. If you're doing.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It, that's right. No, it's true. I mean smoking with
the lungs. But you don't smoke enough of it anyway,
you know. It's not like people pick up twenty joints
a day and smoke it the way you do cigarettes.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
But you don't hold cigarette smoke in your lungs. First.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Some people do twenty seconds, some people do and twenty
seconds is I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I don't know the physiological part of that.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
Disinformation is putting police in harms way. Local police departments
are putting out statements and warning that bad information about
possible immigration enforcement operations is putting everybody at risk, both
officers and residents. They're saying it's leading to protests, public panic,
dangerous encounters. This week, protesters gathered outside a hotel in
(21:30):
Rancho Cucamonga after rumors of ICE agents staying there, and
that prompted a response from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department,
And then in another post, officials were saying, hey, don't
assume that all unmarked white vehicles are ICE because the
sheriff's departments, police departments, they also have them and they
(21:51):
have nothing to do with ICE.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
All Right, It's become a huge problem.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Every single day, I will probably get between I don't know,
fifteen and thirty alerts today. Here's what I just got
my area alone that says, hey, ICE is here.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
ICE is there? ICE is here? ICE is there?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Sorry, Amy, you were.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Saying, oh, I just said I just got one two
minutes ago. Is ICE really going to head city terrorists today?
Or they were going to get active by cal State?
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Like there? Yeah, I get them all the time too.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
And you and I live in this similar area.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
All right, let's do one more and we'll take a break.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
All right.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
A group of students, alumni, and volunteers from University of
Southern California. They've come together to help people with upcoming
immigration related court hearings. As we were just talking about,
this become a massive thing. They have civil rights advocate
initiatives that they're putting together court hearings that have moved online,
(22:50):
all kinds of things, and they're encouraging people to educate
themselves and understand what's going on.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Obviously, Yeah, you call the hotline, you don't speak a
word of English, and they teach you how to say
no thanks.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Well, the whole point picked up by immigration.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
The whole point is that they teach people how to
do the hearings online.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Establish a hearing, and hope, hopefully that means if you
get a hearing online, there's no place you are that
you're going to be picked up exact or even worse,
arrested at the.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
Courthouse, which has been happening even Yeah, a couple of
people who've gone to do it properly.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
We've got to file their paperwork and then walk.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Out and there's ice waiting for you. It's a different world,
all right. Now, we'll take a break and come back
and we'll finish up handle on the news on this
longest day of the year, Friday, June twentieth. Okay, five am,
six forty bill handle here footy Friday, longest day of
the year, June twentieth.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
The solstice is upon us finishing a handle on the news,
Amy and Neil and me.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Let's see paid off for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. They
are getting a four hundred percent pay raise this season,
and it apparently may have a direct correlation to the
new season of the Netflix series America's Sweethearts. Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders,
of course, they've been pushing for increases for years. In
(24:22):
twenty nineteen, they finally got their pay increased from two
hundred dollars to four hundred dollars per game, and the
new raise is four times that amount.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
At seventy five dollars per hour, which for dancing around
And yeah, it seems that that is more reasonable, doesn't it.
And how difficult it is to get that kind of job.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Yeah, there's a lot of competition to be adopted and.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
They're yeah, and they all should be models. I mean,
they are gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
And I know that's completely sexists and I'm objectifying these women.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
And well, but they're putting themselves in that position to
be objectified, right.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
And if they put themselves out in that position, they're
going to make a lot more than seventy five dollars
an hour.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
Well, we'll have to ask Sam about that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Sorry, I was cutting the.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Audio I had good.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
That's okay. We're making veiled references to porn. Oh, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, I'll talk to you about that off the air.
It's pass safe harbor.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Moving on, Neil, your microphone is not on?
Speaker 4 (25:37):
What about now?
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
We are you now?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Now we can all right?
Speaker 7 (25:41):
So President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday extending
the deadline for TikTok's parent company to divest the popular
video sharing app by ninety days, which is what he
keeps doing another ninety days, ninety's ongoing.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
This's the third time out and the company Bite Me is.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
No Bite Dance.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It was one of those Yeah, what do I know?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
And this is one of the things that the president
does is make a decision and then okay, I'll hold
off and then make a decision and go.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'll hold off. So this is a third go for TikTok.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I wonder why.
Speaker 9 (26:18):
He's pushing it back because he doesn't have a deal.
But why not just shut him down?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Because I think there's a lot of pressure obviously, and
I wouldn't even know who backs that up, because I
would think other social media companies would love to see
TikTok out of the United States, leaving a huge market
for them. So I don't know, and I'm oh, you
know what here it is?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Originally he hated TikTok, and then it turned out that
TikTok was responsible for a huge amount of support for him.
It turned around and he is into loyalty more than.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Any anybody else.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
I mean, if you are loyal, and it doesn't matter
if you credentials or not, you too can be secretary
of insert name of a department here, And that's yeah,
it's I think it's about loyalty.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I think that resonates.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
Okay, personally, I love Alaska.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
But a new study says the Delta Airlines is the
highest ranked airline that's by the points guy.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
He topped.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Delta topped the twenty twenty five list, which ranks airlines
based on reliability, loyalty programs, cost, and reach. Delta's on
top for the seventh year in a row. United rose
from third place in twenty twenty four to second place
behind Delta, partly because of improvements in reliability and passenger experience.
Southwest Airlines is third, Alaska's fourth, and Hawaiian Airlines jumped
(27:49):
two spots up from seventh to fifth place.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
My question is how did Spirit and Frontier make the top.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
Ten because there's only ten airlines?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Okay, well they should have been thirty or forty anyways,
even with only ten.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, they should leave all the immigrants alone and
just deport every plane that is Frontier or Spirit land
in Mexico. All right, President Donald Trump, you know he
appointed Powell Chair of the Federal Reserve, Chair Jerome Powell
(28:25):
to the role in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
But man, he doesn't like him anymore.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
He is calling for a massive two point five point
reduction in interest rate, which is like the equivalent of
ten FED rate cuts.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Yeah, it's never happened. It's simply never happened.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
And so he is blaming Jerome Powell for any problems,
any financial problems, economic problems we have. And my favorite
quote of the day from Donald Trump, too late, Jerome
Powell is costing our country hundreds of billions of dollars.
He is truly one of the dumbest and most destructive
people in government, and the Fedboard is complicit. One thing
(29:07):
you got to give Trump credit for. He does not
do political speak that he does not. He shoots from
the hip and I can't think of any other president
who has ever done this, and I think that's a
lot of white people love him so much.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
You will not see the rockets red glare above the
Rose Bowl for this Fourth of July fireworks spectacular because
it's been replaced. Pasadena is boosting its police in firefighter
presidents to keep fireworks out of the city. And for
the fireworks show, they're passing on fireworks and replacing it
with a drone show, which is probably going to be really,
(29:45):
really spectacular.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Now, they don't want to mix up the drones because
you've got drones that are used for entertainment and drones
that could come in and take.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Out every building on Colorado Boulevard. So I'm assuming they're
not mixing them up.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
I'm assuming have you seen a drone show in person?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Not in person?
Speaker 9 (30:07):
There's what at Dodger Stadium tonight. They also replace fireworks.
They're doing drones instead.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Yeah, you can do so.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You can do so much more with drones. But at
the same time, they're not fireworks. They don't have the
big explosion. You can't smell them, you know that cordite,
which is just something that is neat. But at the
same time, you can do amazing things with drones that
you can't do with fireworks.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
You could tell a story with drones.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
This is the thing that I like, I saw one
last Fourth of July that was spectacular. That was just
like this big storytelling theme of Los Angeles that was
really neat.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
All. Right, guys, we're done. That's it done.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
With the news coming up, the Nice Circuit yesterday made
a decision giving the Trump administration a big win.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I mean, there's no way around that one. This is
KFI A M six forty.
