You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
A side effect on viagra, and they started using it
for burn victims. Very few people know that.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
There you go, because it keeps the sheets off of
your body, so you don't want the sheets to actually.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Touch your body.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
We're done with that, and now handle on the news,
ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Here's Bill Handle. Good morning. Everybody is a Wenday morning,
February nine.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
The Super Bowl is over and that was one of
the most miserable games I have seen in a very
long time. Those vaunted Boston Patriots. Yeah, they didn't do
very well yesterday. As a matter of fact, no one
did very well yesterday other than the do you know
(01:01):
the I think the halftime show met expectations with bad.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Buddy, I really do.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Did anybody It was all in Spanish and did you
guys notice?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And oh it was amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, we'll talk more about that later on, But did
you do those amazing did you notice? And this was
only fleeting camera shots that were not supposed to be broadcast.
The ice agents on the edges of the stage looking
at the I was looking at the show.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I thought the show was great. I thought it was
really good. The performance was wonderful, and we have to
do a segment.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
There was a Wall Street Journal segment I think on
the guy who designs those shows.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And I'm not talking about the performance part of it.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm talking about just the technical aspects of putting together
a stage, designing a stage, it together, and then having
it roll out in eight minutes and then roll back
in eight or twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Can you imagine, Oh, it's it's good.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It is fascinating how they do that. I'm I'm fascinated
by it. Now you may not be, but I think.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It's a Hey, I just thought of a new segment,
but it's a visual one. I'm gonna do screen captures
of Ann's face when you say certain things, or any
of us say certain things, because it is spectacular.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
I don't even I don't realize that I'm that animated.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You should have seen you during just things on the
news and the.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Because I don't talk, so I just make face, just reacts.

You did?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I did.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
I don't know how I say, no one did good.
The defense did great. Oh yeah, no, you're right, the
d that's fair to say.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The scoring part of it was miserable, especially on behalf
of the Patriots. And it was won by field goals.
What a record was set by the field goal kicker?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah? Oh I thought it was fifty five. That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh fifteen Yeah, yeah, well I was. It was with
that part, and you're right, it was. The whole game
was defense, all of it.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
But that's three hundred and sixty pounds guys just dominating.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, no, they were great, fast, great bill.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
A number of sacks were Was that a record number
of sacks in a Super Bowl? Two?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
In a postseason? Maybe in the Super Bowl two? But
definitely the posts pretty pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Hey, we're I did that.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
How many times did May get sacked? It was like
seven seven?
Speaker 3 (03:46):

Speaker 7 (04:29):
Well, they're right, flew over the flew over the Bay

Speaker 1 (04:35):
It was it was fun. He did the four plugs.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Did you know what was going on down below?
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Yeah? I mean you know, not much is going on
when I was there. We can't play the actual game
game because of security, so it's everything before the game.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Oh so you do the pre game?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yeah, exactly, the lead up so not a lot was
going on, but it was pretty really.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So you do you do?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay? Fair enough? So you do the Super Bowl four play? Yes? Yes, okay,
I'm gonna regret saying that. I'm sure. Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And and I know you had what one hundred people
or you attended one hundred people?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, yeah, there was.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I was at a big party. But I gambled on
my first football game. Ah, and did you win?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I did win? And you know who taught me everything
I know.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Coo oh, the Seahawks were favored, weren't they?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Okay, fair enough?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Feel good about giving them money?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Now? Yo?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Do they say two point three billion dollars and you
have you go to any police station. Of course, they
have a vice division where they go out and get
you know, the the hookers and all that and illegal gambling.
They actually go and arrest people for illegal gambling.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So here they are. There's on on the wall.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Of the police station is the football pool where people
are putting money in, and your names were putting in,
and then they leave the football.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Pool and arrest people for football pools.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
We didn't have one at the station, did we Did
we have a football pool this year?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I usually do one, and I didn't do it this year.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I don't think there is one. I don't think there
was one this year.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
And Neil, you were saying you did not watch the
game because you were puttering around your workplace.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
It was a busy weekend with family stuff. But I
did watch the halftime show. I think he's brilliant and
did a spectacular show. And the people who hated it
because it was entirely in Spanish are racist.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A hold.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I don't necessarily agree with that. I enjoyed the halftime show,
but I wish because I don't know his music that well.
I mean, it's got a good beat and you can
dance to it and all that stuff, but I don't
know what he's saying. I wish they would have sound
titled or something.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Saying Donald Trump is a dick, Donald Trump should that's
what you're singing, That's what he was saying. How did
do we have any news on the alternative halftime show
put on by Turning Point USA.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I think it did five million in change up against
one hundred and thirty million or something like that. I think, yeah,
it wasn't It was not a blip. It's an embarrassment
and I'm not even sure why.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I can't man, And how did it? How did this
score against the Puppy Bowl? And that's the big question,
that is a big question question. Yes, yes, I got understanding.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
The whole You know, if it was Pavaratti singing in
Italian the whole time, do you think people would have
been in the rats ass?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
That's why I think that it's racial.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I disagree because I, like I said, I liked the show,
but I didn't. I'm not familiar with his music, and
I would love to know what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No Spanish speaking people didn't know what he was saying.
The entire time. He was using Puerto Ricans slang. It's
not it, But how would.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Anybody know that? I don't know that Puerto Ricans was
well great, that's a very small but it's enough.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Million or one with Shakira come on now and I
I found it. Uh, he did make a pain that's
peon p e a a p e a and uh
to modern English singers like Lady goygoy you know who's
not Jewish?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Lady goygoy.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Okay, oh yeah, okay, guy eyebrows?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
What's up with the eyebrows? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Somebody else was saying that, what what because they're blonde? Now, yeah,
she bleaches them and that's a weird look.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It is a mad look. Well, okay and marat Okay,
let's just do it, guys.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It is time for handle on the news and unfortunately
we've got tougher news. We're not gonna have fun with
this one. It's time for the news with Amy Neil
and me lead story.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Just such a free yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Continue the story of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mom continues
on with the abductors asking for what six million dollars
in a bitcoin and it's looking more and more like
it's legitimate that they do have her and it's Samantha
(09:20):
Guthrie and her family. Saturday said we will pay for
her safe return.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's tough.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It wasn't it wasn't there something Amy, I don't know
if you know this, but something early on that pointed
towards a family member, like in law or something.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And where did that go?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Well, the sheriff, the Pima count of sheriff is still
saying there is no person of interest in there are
no suspects, but they are still They were searching a
septic tank at the sister's house, at Annie Guthrie's house,
and the sister is married to the brother in law
that there was some speculation that he may be a
suspect or something to that a actually, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
D anybody knows the connection to the Lindbergh baby where
unfortunately there was this massive nationwide hunt and they unfortunately
found the Lindburg baby on the Lindberg property and it
was dead from literally a minute one and not that
this happened that way. Certainly we hope that didn't. And
then the question of the medicine, this life threatening medicine,
(10:25):
if she doesn't have it on a daily basis, we
are not hearing a whole lot about.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
That, Like, we don't know if they, if whoever grabbed
her to god the medicine or left it behind.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I think they left it behind. Otherwise I think the
authorities would say that she needs this medicine.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
They do say that, but they haven't said definitively that
we don't.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We're not hearing much about this. I think at this point,
I would think it's fairly easy for once the adoption
to take place, to keep someone hidden, and that's say
you can hide any place and arrange for the ransom,
although today with bitcoin it is easier. You're not talking
about cash being dropped off and picked up someplace, So
(11:08):
that now is off the table. Now the issue if
she is returned, I think that's going to be a
weak point of their story of the abductors. Anyway, of course,
everybody is praying that she has returned. I don't know
how many of these are happened in the United States
every year. But obviously because Samantha, Because of Samantha got three,
(11:31):
this has become an enormous story.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
So what's the point here. Glaine Maxwell plans to plead
the Fifth Amendment to avoid self incrimination when she heads
to a deposition in front of the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee today. Of course, Maxwell's the former girlfriend
and partner of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She's serving
(11:55):
a twenty year prison sentence for her role in procuring
and trafficking victims of Epstein.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, the point, by the way, when you ask what
the point is, and she's already doing twenty years because
everything that happens during a trial, when one loses, especially
when one loses with this kind of scrutiny and this
kind of money she has available, everything is being appealed,
and sometimes years later the Supreme Court Appeals Court goes
(12:24):
ahead and says that the case must be retried because
of technical issues, technical errors, And if she pleads guilty,
there's really nothing to retry because she's already pled. But
this is for a deposition, yes, but that's the whole point.
(12:45):
If she pleads guilty, or she says she's guilty. If
they can bring that into court, Okay, it puts her
in a very bad position for her to argue and appeal.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Gotcha, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Okay, all right, and they're doing it in New York,
let's do it here. How about a Democratic Socialist for mayor.
You've got Los Angeles council member Nythia Rahman announced her
candidacy for mayor of LA This is all because, you know,
Bass is having a hard time keeping her head above water.
Even the La Times has been going after and so
(13:22):
Nythia Rama, who is not only a council member, but
she's been you know, really focused on urban planning. She's
putting her at her hat rather into the center to
run against Mayor Karen Bass. And she's probably got one
of the best name recognitions out of the group.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So she does Oh did you did you see or
hear the news that she, at the same time applied
to change her name and she wants to be Nythia
Karl Marx Ramen.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
She's she she's focusing on housing and affordable housing right now.
But yeah, so she's you know, I don't know, maybe
she has a chance.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Who knows.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yeah, Oh rats, thousands of products are being recalled by
gold Star Distribution because that one of the distributors facilities
there was rodent and bird droppings where the products were
being stored. Anyone exposed to contaminated products could potentially contract
(14:29):
an illness like salmonella or even leptospirosis. And what products
are these?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Lots, everything everything that you ever or will eat or drink.
This is one of the mast It's like Cisco, one
of the major distributors that they do restaurants.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It's everything Advil.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
How do you poop? How do you get wrap poop
in Adville?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Well, I wonder if it's in it or if it
got on the packaging. Maybe just just contact with the packaging.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And you're allowed a certain number of of rat droppings
like coca cola or beverage cannons are allowed a one
per x million.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
How many bugs? And you know stuff that is allowed
in food.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh, by the way, I want to correct myself, Amy
pointed out, it is Savannah Guthrie.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Uh, it is not Samantha.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's and usually I did mix up names, but that
you know, and I don't know the first name. This
one I did know, and I just for some reason
conflated the two. All right, Trump, this is an interesting turn.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
President Deald Trump is not inviting Democrats that are uh
governors uh to the National Governors Association Annual Washington Summit.
Strangely enough, so typically it's bipartisan, everybody, come one, come
all uh. And some were even given were revoked their
(16:01):
invitations that were sent out, one of which was the
Maryland governor Wes Moore, and also the Colorado governor as well.
How do you tell someone they're not invited?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You tell them they're not invited, Neil, You've done that
for me, Yeah, I have. Were you disinvited someone?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
At an handle, disinvited someone and I had to call
and disinvite them.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, because I didn't want the concoct ascono was.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
It was not fun.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, it was for me. I had no problem now here.
Here's the point about this conference. Had any other president
done this, it would be earth shattering, end of the
world news. I'm surprised that we even brought it up
his news that the President said no democrats, even though
(16:50):
it's usually bipartisan, not interested in talking to a Democrat
at this event, and it's.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Not I have defended some of his ideas at times,
but I've no ever defended the man. He is indefensible
and he has jumped the shark as a human being.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Period.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I also nonpartisanism. This is not particular This meeting is
not particularly political. What it is is governors talking about
the problems they have, the issues in their state, and
what they're doing to overcome those problems. Infrastructure for example,
infrastructure issues and what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And so, I mean, this is just.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
About governing the United States.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You're the president, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Not it's not about governing, it's about mandating. It's about
you know a well, no King's March. There was a
reason for it.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Seahawks have flown to a Super Bowl sixty victory. The
darkseide defense carried Sam Darnold and the Seahawks to the
twenty nine to thirteen win that didn't see a touchdown
scored until the third quarter. Darnold, who went to USC
he's from San Clemente, said to do this with this team,
(18:06):
I wouldn't do it any other way.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Sure he would, he would, he would win the Super
Bowl with any team. Well, come on, give me a break.
Come on, that's pretty stupid and when interviewed, Hey, we
put our best face forward, to put our game face on.
We have it one hundred percent. We yah da YadA,
YadA YadA. Okay, Anyway, I watched the game. Super Bowl
(18:30):
is kind of fun. Well, but the we're not doing
a segment on the commercials, and maybe we should because
there were I think we're back to fun commercials. I
think for a bunch of years, commercials just sucked, and
this year they came back and it was out all
ai a couple of things I've never heard of, and
(18:52):
they were fun and it was every actor, every A
and B actor that exists.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
We're doing commercials, all right. All right.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Doctor Oz is back in the news, maybe disagreeing.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
With his boss.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
He says, to take the vaccine please, Doctor memot Oz
whose heart surgeon, I think if I remember chrigit, he
is as carreologist surgeony, Yeah, and he works there at
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He's the administrator
or some kind his boss. As we all know, Robert F.
(19:28):
Kennedy Junior has his beef with vaccines. Even though he
said he would not, he said that this is a
very important one to take and he said, not all
illnesses are equally dangerous, and not all people are equally
susceptible to those illnesses, but measles is the one you
(19:53):
should get your vaccine.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And by the way, Robert Kennedy, he's not against this.
I don't think he's come out against the measles vaccine.
He may very We all said, yeah, the Beaesels vaccine
is something you should take. So it's fairly limited in
the number of vaccines that Robert Kennedy is arguing against.
Also when those vaccines should should be given to kids,
(20:17):
old people, that.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Also, the Univer said him, every time doctor Oz is
in a public setting, he always wears. He wears bright
green scrubs.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No one sees him, no way, no how.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That is.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And it's always behind a curtain.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He's never lies everywhere in a hot air balloon.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Yes, who's afraid of the Big bad Wolf? A gray
wolf has been spotted in La County for the first
time in more than one hundred years. To recall, the
wolf was pretty much eradicated from California, and they've been
trying to get some back, and there's about sixty of
(20:58):
them in California down a pair, only this one came south.
She's three years old. She reached the Mountains of North
Mountains north of Santa Clarita on Saturday morning. She had
been spotted traveling through Kern County earlier than that, and
they're tracking her because they got a GPS collar on
(21:18):
her last spring when she was roaming around with the
Yallow lumni pack in to Laura County. I thought looking
for a mate.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, I thought they found her in the meat section
of Costco. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Okay, hey break a leg. Lindsey Vaughn an Olympia too soon?
What what?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
She's not dead?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, she stated on that completely ruptured ACL and during
her practice run she did pretty well.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
You know up to she just st at forty one
on a reb built right knee and an injured left knee.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Come on, yeah, if.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
She had not ROBTU that ACL lot she would have been.
So anyway, she's obviously done with skiing. Twice you was there,
lifted off the slopes. But she's still going to go
down as the most incredible athlete downhill maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Forever, male and female. So anyway, she's done.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Anne was saying that there was some controversy after the
crash yesterday that people were saying, oh, well, why did
she even get to ski with a torn acl Well,
she got to ski because she earned her spot on
the Olympic team.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, God bless her. I'm being a smart ass.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I mean, God bless her for wanting to push herself
to the limit.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
But yeah, that's the other thing she does. Well, you
talk about that wall that she goes through, I should.
I don't understand that level of athleticism.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I don't. But then again, I'm a couch potato.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Inside the investigation, and they've been looking. The FBI's looking
over Jeffrey Epstein's bank records, emails, searching as homes, interviewing victims,
examining connections to some of the world's most influential people.
And after all of that, videos and photos from his
(23:20):
homes in Florida, New York and the Virgin Islands apparently
don't depict victims being abused or implicate anyone else in
the crimes. That's what a prosecutor said in a memo
in twenty twenty five. Another memo an internal member from
twenty nineteen found no connection to criminal activity.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
And the women who have accused him, several of them.
There is no proof that there is a connection of
them being abused. Now I believe they were, that's my belief.
But all money was cash. I don't think you see
transfers of money. You saw one between high end figure
(24:01):
to high end figures, but not directly connected, and that
makes sense. There was no proof, So you know, I
have said this a long time ago when this thing
first broke. You're not going to see proof of any wrongdoing,
particularly with President Trump involved. What they are going to
see is relationships that were much closer to Epstein than
(24:25):
is being told by these massive figures.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Why do you think that?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
How? Uh? Why?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Because no one wants to be connected with Epstein under
any circumstances any whatsoever. Because too many of these public
figures kept their relationship with Epstein after he went to
prison for sexual abuse.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
But how how come there there's got to be evidence?
You just can't you can't.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Watch at this point, they haven't found it yet, and
you know, the DJ of course, is not going to
find any evidence.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
No, I never trust the d o J.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But I don't think it would be one way or
the other if proof of Epstein's if proof of Epstein's
crimes were made public, absolute proof, if they would only
release it. As to Bill Clinton and other liberals, of course,
it would take the TATA, it would take the fourth
of State, it would take it would take the media
(25:26):
to go really through it. And the media has it.
The media has that information has been released for the
most part, but it's redacted.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Names have been redacted.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
And that's the other controversy because some of these victims,
alleged victims or actual victims, are arguing their name should
not have been put in there. And then some are arguing,
you should have put more information that's out there in there.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So it's still up in the air.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
But right now, no criminal wrongdoing, no actual criminal activity.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Okay, fossil few ful, bad, fossil fuel must pay for everything.
So and new Bill SB nine two, is referred to
as the Affordable Insurance Recovery Act, would authorize California's Attorney
General to file civil litigation against fossil fuel companies to
recover losses from climate induced disasters and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I got a.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Question, Bill, So, fossil fuel bad, bad, bad, right, everybody
has fossil fuel, but electric cars are good, right, yep. Okay,
over half of our electricity comes from fossil fuel in California.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, I will actually more than half. I think, yes,
it's probably range alternative fuel. So yeah, so but the so.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Natural gas is what powers our electricity? Yes, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
We get about and they're moving into the other direction
and what the or so what what the basis of this?
And this is I won't say wonky, but it's uh,
it's it's a little bit of a stretch. Fossil fuels
create climate change, climate change responsible in a great to
(27:15):
a great part of uh the wildfires that are going on.
So you can connect the dots here, but the dots
are pretty far apart.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
But you're pouring in natural gas and plugging in electricity
thinking that you're doing something.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
But here's using natural gas. Right. But here's where we're
gonna go.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
We're gonna go to alternative fuels where you are ahead
of what we were supposed to supposed to be and
moving balls to the wall with alternative fuels. Now, are
we ever going to make it one hundred percent? Not
with nuclear without nuclear energy? But California is blaming uh,
these companies that could that use fossil fuels or create
(27:58):
oil companies. And yeah, I see in California now in
the south, for example, along the Go Golf Coast, the
governments pay the oil companies to start fires. So it's
just a different view of politics there. But it's that's
where it is. And I'm a big fan of nukes.
(28:18):
By the way, I really believe in nuclear power because
without it, we're never going to meet our goal.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Ever, Galindo would be so proud. Japan's new prime minister
is popular. Okay, take a second. Conservative Prime Minister Senai Takichi,
not sure if that's right, had a landslide victory and
(28:46):
a snap election on Sunday was a big deal because
her party had been hembrhaging voter support until she stepped in.
She's enjoyed high approval ratings, a glowing endorsement from President,
and then she has won over several voters, many voters
with her strong work, ethic savvy, social media game, and
(29:08):
charisma marked in viral moments like a recent improptu drum
session with South Korea's president.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, she's controlling that legislature. Reminds me of Margaret Thatcher
in the seventies. What she was able to accomplish in
controlling the parliament in England.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Very strong woman, almost like.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
She was made of iron, iron all right. In the UAE,
or this came out of the UAE with the ap
Iran sentenced a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. So over seven
more years in prison after she began a hunger strike.
(29:50):
Now Terran cracks down on all the dissident and you
know the nationwide protests and everything else, the death of
thousands at the hands of their security forces, and this
is one more step of trying to silence anybody who
pushes back.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Ironic that because of the economy in Iran which is collapsing,
there are people that are starving, Yet they arrest someone
who is starving purposely ironic.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Oh, very strong, very strong.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Okay, So maybe the bikini part was missing from the
bikini cafe. Seventeen people, including the owners of a business,
were arrested. Police say that the Garden Grove coffee shop
was operating as a so called bikini cafe. They were
serving customers allegedly while wearing bikinis or in various states
(30:46):
of undress, which Garden Grove police say violates municipal codes
related to public nudity business operations and alcohol regulations. They
also say that they were selling booze on the location.
They didn't have the.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It's the coffee house, I do Do you remember those
drive throughs where they had the gallas and bikinis and
the coffee was horrible and no one cared as they
were driving through.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
How was the coffee at this bikini cafe place?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I don't know. I have through that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I do know, Yeah, I do know that when they
serve you a grande, it's has a double meaning. Okay,
I think we're done. Yep, we certainly are. Kfi A

for burn victims. Very few people know that.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
There you go, because it keeps the sheets off of
your body, so you don't want the sheets to actually.

We're done with that, and now handle on the news,
ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Here's Bill Handle. Good morning. Everybody is a Wenday morning,
February nine.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
The Super Bowl is over and that was one of
the most miserable games I have seen in a very
long time. Those vaunted Boston Patriots. Yeah, they didn't do
very well yesterday. As a matter of fact, no one
did very well yesterday other than the do you know
(01:01):
the I think the halftime show met expectations with bad.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Buddy, I really do.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Did anybody It was all in Spanish and did you
guys notice?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
And oh it was amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, we'll talk more about that later on, But did
you do those amazing did you notice? And this was
only fleeting camera shots that were not supposed to be broadcast.
The ice agents on the edges of the stage looking
at the I was looking at the show.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I thought the show was great. I thought it was
really good. The performance was wonderful, and we have to
do a segment.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
There was a Wall Street Journal segment I think on
the guy who designs those shows.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And I'm not talking about the performance part of it.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I'm talking about just the technical aspects of putting together
a stage, designing a stage, it together, and then having
it roll out in eight minutes and then roll back
in eight or twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Can you imagine, Oh, it's it's good.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It is fascinating how they do that. I'm I'm fascinated
by it. Now you may not be, but I think.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It's a Hey, I just thought of a new segment,
but it's a visual one. I'm gonna do screen captures
of Ann's face when you say certain things, or any
of us say certain things, because it is spectacular.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
I don't even I don't realize that I'm that animated.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You should have seen you during just things on the
news and the.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
Because I don't talk, so I just make face, just reacts.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
In any case, good morning, it is one and all cono,
Good morning, Good.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Morning, Bough.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You watch game? I did? I laid it a lot?
You did?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I did.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
I don't know how I say, no one did good.
The defense did great. Oh yeah, no, you're right, the
d that's fair to say.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The scoring part of it was miserable, especially on behalf
of the Patriots. And it was won by field goals.
What a record was set by the field goal kicker?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah? Oh I thought it was fifty five. That's a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh fifteen Yeah, yeah, well I was. It was with
that part, and you're right, it was. The whole game
was defense, all of it.
Speaker 6 (03:23):
But that's three hundred and sixty pounds guys just dominating.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, no, they were great, fast, great bill.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
A number of sacks were Was that a record number
of sacks in a Super Bowl? Two?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
In a postseason? Maybe in the Super Bowl two? But
definitely the posts pretty pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Hey, we're I did that.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
How many times did May get sacked? It was like
seven seven?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeaheah crazy, this is sports talk, everybody, you don't even keep.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know what they had to do.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
They gave it a mister sports person, Yeah, mister sports guy.
And I had there were three of us watching, and
I had enough food for forty people.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It was a lot of a lot of food there.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Okay, there is Amy, Good morning, Amy, Hi Bill, How

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, and you watched it? Of course, of course you did?

Speaker 7 (04:18):
Not twenty?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Wow? Is that your was that your place? No?
Speaker 5 (04:21):
That my place is way too small?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Didn't okay? And will you watched the game of the morning? Well,
I worked part of the game.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Well, they're right, flew over the flew over the Bay
area and did circles or the stadium.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
It was it was fun. He did the four plugs.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Did you know what was going on down below?
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Yeah? I mean you know, not much is going on
when I was there. We can't play the actual game
game because of security, so it's everything before the game.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Oh so you do the pre game?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Yeah, exactly, the lead up so not a lot was
going on, but it was pretty really.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So you do you do?
Speaker 5 (04:55):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Okay? Fair enough? So you do the Super Bowl four play? Yes? Yes, okay,
I'm gonna regret saying that. I'm sure. Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
And and I know you had what one hundred people
or you attended one hundred people?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, yeah, there was.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I was at a big party. But I gambled on
my first football game. Ah, and did you win?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I did win? And you know who taught me everything
I know.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Now.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Coo oh, the Seahawks were favored, weren't they?
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Okay, fair enough?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Feel good about giving them money?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Now? Yo?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Do they say two point three billion dollars and you
have you go to any police station. Of course, they
have a vice division where they go out and get
you know, the the hookers and all that and illegal gambling.
They actually go and arrest people for illegal gambling.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So here they are. There's on on the wall.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Of the police station is the football pool where people
are putting money in, and your names were putting in,
and then they leave the football.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Pool and arrest people for football pools.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
We didn't have one at the station, did we Did
we have a football pool this year?
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I usually do one, and I didn't do it this year.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I don't think there is one. I don't think there
was one this year.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
And Neil, you were saying you did not watch the
game because you were puttering around your workplace.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
It was a busy weekend with family stuff. But I
did watch the halftime show. I think he's brilliant and
did a spectacular show. And the people who hated it
because it was entirely in Spanish are racist.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
A hold.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I don't necessarily agree with that. I enjoyed the halftime show,
but I wish because I don't know his music that well.
I mean, it's got a good beat and you can
dance to it and all that stuff, but I don't
know what he's saying. I wish they would have sound
titled or something.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Saying Donald Trump is a dick, Donald Trump should that's
what you're singing, That's what he was saying. How did
do we have any news on the alternative halftime show
put on by Turning Point USA.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I think it did five million in change up against
one hundred and thirty million or something like that. I think, yeah,
it wasn't It was not a blip. It's an embarrassment
and I'm not even sure why.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I can't man, And how did it? How did this
score against the Puppy Bowl? And that's the big question,
that is a big question question. Yes, yes, I got understanding.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
The whole You know, if it was Pavaratti singing in
Italian the whole time, do you think people would have
been in the rats ass?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
That's why I think that it's racial.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I disagree because I, like I said, I liked the show,
but I didn't. I'm not familiar with his music, and
I would love to know what he was saying.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No Spanish speaking people didn't know what he was saying.
The entire time. He was using Puerto Ricans slang. It's
not it, But how would.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Anybody know that? I don't know that Puerto Ricans was
well great, that's a very small but it's enough.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Million or one with Shakira come on now and I
I found it. Uh, he did make a pain that's
peon p e a a p e a and uh
to modern English singers like Lady goygoy you know who's
not Jewish?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Lady goygoy.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Okay, oh yeah, okay, guy eyebrows?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
What's up with the eyebrows? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Somebody else was saying that, what what because they're blonde? Now, yeah,
she bleaches them and that's a weird look.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
It is a mad look. Well, okay and marat Okay,
let's just do it, guys.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
It is time for handle on the news and unfortunately
we've got tougher news. We're not gonna have fun with
this one. It's time for the news with Amy Neil
and me lead story.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Just such a free yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Continue the story of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mom continues
on with the abductors asking for what six million dollars
in a bitcoin and it's looking more and more like
it's legitimate that they do have her and it's Samantha
(09:20):
Guthrie and her family. Saturday said we will pay for
her safe return.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's tough.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
It wasn't it wasn't there something Amy, I don't know
if you know this, but something early on that pointed
towards a family member, like in law or something.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And where did that go?
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Well, the sheriff, the Pima count of sheriff is still
saying there is no person of interest in there are
no suspects, but they are still They were searching a
septic tank at the sister's house, at Annie Guthrie's house,
and the sister is married to the brother in law
that there was some speculation that he may be a
suspect or something to that a actually, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
D anybody knows the connection to the Lindbergh baby where
unfortunately there was this massive nationwide hunt and they unfortunately
found the Lindburg baby on the Lindberg property and it
was dead from literally a minute one and not that
this happened that way. Certainly we hope that didn't. And
then the question of the medicine, this life threatening medicine,
(10:25):
if she doesn't have it on a daily basis, we
are not hearing a whole lot about.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
That, Like, we don't know if they, if whoever grabbed
her to god the medicine or left it behind.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I think they left it behind. Otherwise I think the
authorities would say that she needs this medicine.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
They do say that, but they haven't said definitively that
we don't.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
We're not hearing much about this. I think at this point,
I would think it's fairly easy for once the adoption
to take place, to keep someone hidden, and that's say
you can hide any place and arrange for the ransom,
although today with bitcoin it is easier. You're not talking
about cash being dropped off and picked up someplace, So
(11:08):
that now is off the table. Now the issue if
she is returned, I think that's going to be a
weak point of their story of the abductors. Anyway, of course,
everybody is praying that she has returned. I don't know
how many of these are happened in the United States
every year. But obviously because Samantha, Because of Samantha got three,
(11:31):
this has become an enormous story.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
So what's the point here. Glaine Maxwell plans to plead
the Fifth Amendment to avoid self incrimination when she heads
to a deposition in front of the House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee today. Of course, Maxwell's the former girlfriend
and partner of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She's serving
(11:55):
a twenty year prison sentence for her role in procuring
and trafficking victims of Epstein.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, the point, by the way, when you ask what
the point is, and she's already doing twenty years because
everything that happens during a trial, when one loses, especially
when one loses with this kind of scrutiny and this
kind of money she has available, everything is being appealed,
and sometimes years later the Supreme Court Appeals Court goes
(12:24):
ahead and says that the case must be retried because
of technical issues, technical errors, And if she pleads guilty,
there's really nothing to retry because she's already pled. But
this is for a deposition, yes, but that's the whole point.
(12:45):
If she pleads guilty, or she says she's guilty. If
they can bring that into court, Okay, it puts her
in a very bad position for her to argue and appeal.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Gotcha, that makes sense.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Okay, all right, and they're doing it in New York,
let's do it here. How about a Democratic Socialist for mayor.
You've got Los Angeles council member Nythia Rahman announced her
candidacy for mayor of LA This is all because, you know,
Bass is having a hard time keeping her head above water.
Even the La Times has been going after and so
(13:22):
Nythia Rama, who is not only a council member, but
she's been you know, really focused on urban planning. She's
putting her at her hat rather into the center to
run against Mayor Karen Bass. And she's probably got one
of the best name recognitions out of the group.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So she does Oh did you did you see or
hear the news that she, at the same time applied
to change her name and she wants to be Nythia
Karl Marx Ramen.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
She's she she's focusing on housing and affordable housing right now.
But yeah, so she's you know, I don't know, maybe
she has a chance.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Who knows.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yeah, Oh rats, thousands of products are being recalled by
gold Star Distribution because that one of the distributors facilities
there was rodent and bird droppings where the products were
being stored. Anyone exposed to contaminated products could potentially contract
(14:29):
an illness like salmonella or even leptospirosis. And what products
are these?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Lots, everything everything that you ever or will eat or drink.
This is one of the mast It's like Cisco, one
of the major distributors that they do restaurants.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
It's everything Advil.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
How do you poop? How do you get wrap poop
in Adville?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Well, I wonder if it's in it or if it
got on the packaging. Maybe just just contact with the packaging.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a good point.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
And you're allowed a certain number of of rat droppings
like coca cola or beverage cannons are allowed a one
per x million.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
How many bugs? And you know stuff that is allowed
in food.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Oh, by the way, I want to correct myself, Amy
pointed out, it is Savannah Guthrie.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Uh, it is not Samantha.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It's and usually I did mix up names, but that
you know, and I don't know the first name. This
one I did know, and I just for some reason
conflated the two. All right, Trump, this is an interesting turn.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
President Deald Trump is not inviting Democrats that are uh
governors uh to the National Governors Association Annual Washington Summit.
Strangely enough, so typically it's bipartisan, everybody, come one, come
all uh. And some were even given were revoked their
(16:01):
invitations that were sent out, one of which was the
Maryland governor Wes Moore, and also the Colorado governor as well.
How do you tell someone they're not invited?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You tell them they're not invited, Neil, You've done that
for me, Yeah, I have. Were you disinvited someone?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
At an handle, disinvited someone and I had to call
and disinvite them.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, because I didn't want the concoct ascono was.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
It was not fun.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yeah, it was for me. I had no problem now here.
Here's the point about this conference. Had any other president
done this, it would be earth shattering, end of the
world news. I'm surprised that we even brought it up
his news that the President said no democrats, even though
(16:50):
it's usually bipartisan, not interested in talking to a Democrat
at this event, and it's.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Not I have defended some of his ideas at times,
but I've no ever defended the man. He is indefensible
and he has jumped the shark as a human being.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Period.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I also nonpartisanism. This is not particular This meeting is
not particularly political. What it is is governors talking about
the problems they have, the issues in their state, and
what they're doing to overcome those problems. Infrastructure for example,
infrastructure issues and what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
And so, I mean, this is just.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
About governing the United States.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You're the president, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Not it's not about governing, it's about mandating. It's about
you know a well, no King's March. There was a
reason for it.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Seahawks have flown to a Super Bowl sixty victory. The
darkseide defense carried Sam Darnold and the Seahawks to the
twenty nine to thirteen win that didn't see a touchdown
scored until the third quarter. Darnold, who went to USC
he's from San Clemente, said to do this with this team,
(18:06):
I wouldn't do it any other way.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Sure he would, he would, he would win the Super
Bowl with any team. Well, come on, give me a break.
Come on, that's pretty stupid and when interviewed, Hey, we
put our best face forward, to put our game face on.
We have it one hundred percent. We yah da YadA,
YadA YadA. Okay, Anyway, I watched the game. Super Bowl
(18:30):
is kind of fun. Well, but the we're not doing
a segment on the commercials, and maybe we should because
there were I think we're back to fun commercials. I
think for a bunch of years, commercials just sucked, and
this year they came back and it was out all
ai a couple of things I've never heard of, and
(18:52):
they were fun and it was every actor, every A
and B actor that exists.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
We're doing commercials, all right. All right.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Doctor Oz is back in the news, maybe disagreeing.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
With his boss.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
He says, to take the vaccine please, Doctor memot Oz
whose heart surgeon, I think if I remember chrigit, he
is as carreologist surgeony, Yeah, and he works there at
the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He's the administrator
or some kind his boss. As we all know, Robert F.
(19:28):
Kennedy Junior has his beef with vaccines. Even though he
said he would not, he said that this is a
very important one to take and he said, not all
illnesses are equally dangerous, and not all people are equally
susceptible to those illnesses, but measles is the one you
(19:53):
should get your vaccine.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And by the way, Robert Kennedy, he's not against this.
I don't think he's come out against the measles vaccine.
He may very We all said, yeah, the Beaesels vaccine
is something you should take. So it's fairly limited in
the number of vaccines that Robert Kennedy is arguing against.
Also when those vaccines should should be given to kids,
(20:17):
old people, that.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Also, the Univer said him, every time doctor Oz is
in a public setting, he always wears. He wears bright
green scrubs.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
No one sees him, no way, no how.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That is.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And it's always behind a curtain.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
He's never lies everywhere in a hot air balloon.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Yes, who's afraid of the Big bad Wolf? A gray
wolf has been spotted in La County for the first
time in more than one hundred years. To recall, the
wolf was pretty much eradicated from California, and they've been
trying to get some back, and there's about sixty of
(20:58):
them in California down a pair, only this one came south.
She's three years old. She reached the Mountains of North
Mountains north of Santa Clarita on Saturday morning. She had
been spotted traveling through Kern County earlier than that, and
they're tracking her because they got a GPS collar on
(21:18):
her last spring when she was roaming around with the
Yallow lumni pack in to Laura County. I thought looking
for a mate.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, I thought they found her in the meat section
of Costco. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Okay, hey break a leg. Lindsey Vaughn an Olympia too soon?
What what?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
She's not dead?
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, she stated on that completely ruptured ACL and during
her practice run she did pretty well.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
You know up to she just st at forty one
on a reb built right knee and an injured left knee.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Come on, yeah, if.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
She had not ROBTU that ACL lot she would have been.
So anyway, she's obviously done with skiing. Twice you was there,
lifted off the slopes. But she's still going to go
down as the most incredible athlete downhill maybe.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Forever, male and female. So anyway, she's done.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Anne was saying that there was some controversy after the
crash yesterday that people were saying, oh, well, why did
she even get to ski with a torn acl Well,
she got to ski because she earned her spot on
the Olympic team.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, God bless her. I'm being a smart ass.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I mean, God bless her for wanting to push herself
to the limit.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
But yeah, that's the other thing she does. Well, you
talk about that wall that she goes through, I should.
I don't understand that level of athleticism.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I don't. But then again, I'm a couch potato.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Inside the investigation, and they've been looking. The FBI's looking
over Jeffrey Epstein's bank records, emails, searching as homes, interviewing victims,
examining connections to some of the world's most influential people.
And after all of that, videos and photos from his
(23:20):
homes in Florida, New York and the Virgin Islands apparently
don't depict victims being abused or implicate anyone else in
the crimes. That's what a prosecutor said in a memo
in twenty twenty five. Another memo an internal member from
twenty nineteen found no connection to criminal activity.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
And the women who have accused him, several of them.
There is no proof that there is a connection of
them being abused. Now I believe they were, that's my belief.
But all money was cash. I don't think you see
transfers of money. You saw one between high end figure
(24:01):
to high end figures, but not directly connected, and that
makes sense. There was no proof, So you know, I
have said this a long time ago when this thing
first broke. You're not going to see proof of any wrongdoing,
particularly with President Trump involved. What they are going to
see is relationships that were much closer to Epstein than
(24:25):
is being told by these massive figures.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Why do you think that?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
How? Uh? Why?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Because no one wants to be connected with Epstein under
any circumstances any whatsoever. Because too many of these public
figures kept their relationship with Epstein after he went to
prison for sexual abuse.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
But how how come there there's got to be evidence?
You just can't you can't.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Watch at this point, they haven't found it yet, and
you know, the DJ of course, is not going to
find any evidence.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
No, I never trust the d o J.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But I don't think it would be one way or
the other if proof of Epstein's if proof of Epstein's
crimes were made public, absolute proof, if they would only
release it. As to Bill Clinton and other liberals, of course,
it would take the TATA, it would take the fourth
of State, it would take it would take the media
(25:26):
to go really through it. And the media has it.
The media has that information has been released for the
most part, but it's redacted.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Names have been redacted.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
And that's the other controversy because some of these victims,
alleged victims or actual victims, are arguing their name should
not have been put in there. And then some are arguing,
you should have put more information that's out there in there.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So it's still up in the air.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
But right now, no criminal wrongdoing, no actual criminal activity.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Okay, fossil few ful, bad, fossil fuel must pay for everything.
So and new Bill SB nine two, is referred to
as the Affordable Insurance Recovery Act, would authorize California's Attorney
General to file civil litigation against fossil fuel companies to
recover losses from climate induced disasters and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I got a.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Question, Bill, So, fossil fuel bad, bad, bad, right, everybody
has fossil fuel, but electric cars are good, right, yep. Okay,
over half of our electricity comes from fossil fuel in California.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, I will actually more than half. I think, yes,
it's probably range alternative fuel. So yeah, so but the so.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
Natural gas is what powers our electricity? Yes, yeah, because.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
We get about and they're moving into the other direction
and what the or so what what the basis of this?
And this is I won't say wonky, but it's uh,
it's it's a little bit of a stretch. Fossil fuels
create climate change, climate change responsible in a great to
(27:15):
a great part of uh the wildfires that are going on.
So you can connect the dots here, but the dots
are pretty far apart.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
But you're pouring in natural gas and plugging in electricity
thinking that you're doing something.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
But here's using natural gas. Right. But here's where we're
gonna go.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
We're gonna go to alternative fuels where you are ahead
of what we were supposed to supposed to be and
moving balls to the wall with alternative fuels. Now, are
we ever going to make it one hundred percent? Not
with nuclear without nuclear energy? But California is blaming uh,
these companies that could that use fossil fuels or create
(27:58):
oil companies. And yeah, I see in California now in
the south, for example, along the Go Golf Coast, the
governments pay the oil companies to start fires. So it's
just a different view of politics there. But it's that's
where it is. And I'm a big fan of nukes.
(28:18):
By the way, I really believe in nuclear power because
without it, we're never going to meet our goal.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Ever, Galindo would be so proud. Japan's new prime minister
is popular. Okay, take a second. Conservative Prime Minister Senai Takichi,
not sure if that's right, had a landslide victory and
(28:46):
a snap election on Sunday was a big deal because
her party had been hembrhaging voter support until she stepped in.
She's enjoyed high approval ratings, a glowing endorsement from President,
and then she has won over several voters, many voters
with her strong work, ethic savvy, social media game, and
(29:08):
charisma marked in viral moments like a recent improptu drum
session with South Korea's president.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, she's controlling that legislature. Reminds me of Margaret Thatcher
in the seventies. What she was able to accomplish in
controlling the parliament in England.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Very strong woman, almost like.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
She was made of iron, iron all right. In the UAE,
or this came out of the UAE with the ap
Iran sentenced a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. So over seven
more years in prison after she began a hunger strike.
(29:50):
Now Terran cracks down on all the dissident and you
know the nationwide protests and everything else, the death of
thousands at the hands of their security forces, and this
is one more step of trying to silence anybody who
pushes back.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Ironic that because of the economy in Iran which is collapsing,
there are people that are starving, Yet they arrest someone
who is starving purposely ironic.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Oh, very strong, very strong.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Okay, So maybe the bikini part was missing from the
bikini cafe. Seventeen people, including the owners of a business,
were arrested. Police say that the Garden Grove coffee shop
was operating as a so called bikini cafe. They were
serving customers allegedly while wearing bikinis or in various states
(30:46):
of undress, which Garden Grove police say violates municipal codes
related to public nudity business operations and alcohol regulations. They
also say that they were selling booze on the location.
They didn't have the.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
It's the coffee house, I do Do you remember those
drive throughs where they had the gallas and bikinis and
the coffee was horrible and no one cared as they
were driving through.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
How was the coffee at this bikini cafe place?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I don't know. I have through that.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I do know, Yeah, I do know that when they
serve you a grande, it's has a double meaning. Okay,
I think we're done. Yep, we certainly are. Kfi A
