Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I know Cono and behind the scenes, so I'm actually
in front of the scenes taking care of everything for us,
which is why the show sounds so terrific because of them. Okay,
that was a compliment, by the way, just to let
you know, even though it didn't sound like it smooth.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Thank you. Great job, guys. Cono couldn't ask for better, truly.
And now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle. It is a footy Friday, ask candle and
(00:53):
it k Friday, May eighth.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
As we start the show, and it's time to a
quick hello to one and all Amy.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You're wearing the Dodger jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You know it'd be better if it was the new
Jersey Dodgers, then you would it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Okay, why are you wearing the Dodger jersey?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, because I'm going to the game tonight and the
Dodgers are back in town playing Atlanta tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, answers that question.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, I've been to two baseball games of my entire life.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
One when I was nine years old.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I remember that game and then there was a KFI
something that I went to right above the dugout and
that was it. You know, you can tell I'm a
big baseball fan, have you? And of course it comes
back to me and that's a precursor to my question
to you.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yes, have you ever had have you ever been like right.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
On top of the dugout where you're really close to
the pitchers or the ballplayers on the field.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yes, Okay, what was What.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I noticed is how fast that ball travels. The thunk
of the baseball against the catchers met and it was wow, yeah, it's.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Like one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
So here's a little interesting trivia piece. When COVID hit,
you know, they shut everything down and then when they
reopened it, they had all those six feet spatial stuff
so they couldn't get everybody into the stadium. They only
had like every other row and it was really weird
how the seating was. But there were so few people
in the stadium you could hear everything going on on
(02:32):
the field. It was very eerie but also really a
cool experience.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Huh, all right, I'll buy that. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah,
Am I interested in going again?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You go all the time don't you.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yep, we're going tonight and tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Do you have season tickets?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
We do so between Disneyland season tickets and Dodgers is
season tickets? And how much money I know you make
here at.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
iHeart It's why I drive a twenty years old car.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And I was just about to say you you eat
cat food. Uh for the most part. And for those
of you that would like recipes for cat food, uh,
Amy has a lot of them. Kno, good morning, good morning,
and welcome back real quick.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Oh thanks, Happy Mother's Day to Ann and my mom
and my grandma.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Oh wow's Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I'm a cat on on Sunday?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Will you thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah? What so we can record a happy Mother's Day.
I should wish I should go and visit my mom
for Mother's Day.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
You should?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, I should have you ever, No, No, she's in
the ground.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know. I'm not one of those people that walk
walk up there and talk to dead people in the
ground or just a plot of grass.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okay, now what.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
If there was some if I was delusional enough to
have her believing that she actually talks to me like
many people do, which I don't understand at all. You know,
hearing voices then maybe, but you know, I it was Frankly,
the conversations are much better now than they were when
she was alive.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
So okay, Uh, Neil, good morning to you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Good morning, and uh Anne, Happy Mother's Day, dear, thank you, Neil,
and happy Mother's Day to my lovely wife Tracy, and
to my mom Kay and to Kono's mom. I miss
your baby.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
This is the show. The show is heading south, very
very quickly. The only thing worse than Mother's Day is
Father's Day. And your kids are still around, then you
have to deal with it, all right. Uh who else
is here? Okay, good morning?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
There's Anne?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Hello, Hello, and Will Coleschreiverer, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Okay, that what is it?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh? You have a I Heeart T shirt on my
heart thing. Yeah, and it's my hard thing. I'm assuming
you got it for free, of course.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Now I'm assuming that you don't actually wash it or
sweating it because the colors run.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's pretty decent. It's a nice shirt.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Neil used to get a T shirts. Neil, what what
can you get a T shirt for? I mean you
can get really think you will.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Get a T shirt for five bucks, maybe six bucks,
but the size Neil needs is probably like thirty bucks.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, I'm sure excel those you know what fat man stores.
I once went into the plus size stores, that's what
they call it, and I will.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah fat.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And I once wrote a check and I went, I
weighed north to three hundred pounds, and I wrote a
check that actually said the name of the store, and
I put fat and huge.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And the guy doesn't react.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You just go, sir, that's not the name of the store,
very calmly, and you know, no reaction other than that.
All right, We've got plenty of news to cover today
on a Friday, Friday's are always fine. We've got a
story how your life is going to fall apart. It's
going to be far worse than you could possibly imagine.
We'll be doing one of those boy that got me
(06:24):
excited because you know I love those. And then we've
got oh, of course, we have Foody Friday with Neil
and then ask Candle anything coming up.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
At eight thirty, So let's do it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's time for Handle on the News with Amy and
Neil and me lead. Sorry, well, it looks like the
ceasefire is well well asconced The US and Iran exchange
fire at the or right near the Strait of Horn
Moose and raising questions about the negotiations. But the President said,
(07:00):
the attacks that happened where three US military ships were
attacked as they're trying to transiting stut the strait and
the United States. The US forces came back, but this
was a love tap and there was no damage done
to the three destroyers, which means there is no U.
I guess there's no violation of the ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I don't get this.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh, Also, wasn't the ceasefire if it hadn't come about
as of Wednesday night? The US was going to bomb
the hell out of Iran and they only had till
Wednesday night.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oops?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Does anybody pay attention anymore when the ceasefire lines are drawn,
lines in the sand or lines in the ocean, Does
anybody know what's going on?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I sure don't.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Okay, So a ceasefire is still in effect even though
everybody's bombing the crap out of everybody else.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Right, maybe he meant seasfire likes.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I think I see fire. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
If I had to guess, and without me doing any
kind of shtick or making fun of the President, I think,
which is impossible for me to do. I think the
definition of ceasefire is that there is not out and
out conflict where a war as we conceive and perceive
of a war, and so anything short of that, even
(08:26):
there's exchange of gunfire, even though there are skirmishes, it
is not a violation of the ceasefire. And I think
it's an interesting definition, but so be it.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Health officials keeping a close eye on a handful of
Americans because they were on board that ship that's having
the hauntavirus outbreak. People from California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas
are currently being monitored for potential infection after they were
on the cruise ship. None have shown signs of illness
(08:58):
so far. But these are some of the people who
got off the ship in late April, a couple weeks ago,
right after the first person died, and health officials saying
there's no information that the California residents are ill or infected,
and at this time the risk to public health in
California is low.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm going to do a story about that at seven
o'clock because there is one aspect to the story that
we are not paying attention to and I think we
have to know what's going on. It's a very important
part of that story that's being ignored. I can't hear you, Neil, Mike.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh sorry, pal, Pe're well under the weather and a
little out of it this morning. All right. Bill has
called this out in the past. Panel of federal judges
on Thursday found President Trump had violated the law when
he imposed a ten percent tariff on most US ports.
So split ruling here, Court of International Trade found President
(10:03):
Trump had wrongly invoked a decade's old trade law when
he applied those duties beginning in February.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, and the president invokes these laws or violates these
laws because of a couple of things. One, Internationally, there
are procedures that have to be followed which the president
does not. Nationally, tariffs have to be voted on by Congress.
And it's that pesky, pesky constitution that is getting in
(10:33):
the way of almost everything the president is doing.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Man, it just he just hates that he really does.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Nothing should get in the way of making arbitrary decisions.
For example, tariffs, so which the government has collected hundreds
of billions of dollars, which are all going to be returned,
and that's already in place now. To give the Trump
administration credit, they are returning the money. They're paying attention
(11:05):
to the courts on this one. One of the thing
that the president is not doing is completely ignoring the courts,
even though he calls things unconstitutional and makes that determination
and says, the court made a decision that's unconstitutional.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Great, okay, But.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
In the meantime, you're going to see a lot more
of this over the next three years.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Hacked The cybersecurity breach at the company behind the Canvas
learning management system that's used in colleges and schools across
the country grew into a widespread outedge yesterday, leaving students
and faculty at dozens of California campuses locked out of
(11:42):
the platform.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
They're they use it to access.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Court coursework, readings and assignments, and its finals week, so
kind of important to have access to those things. The
hacker group claimed it stole hundreds of millions of records
tied to students and employees at about nine thousand schools
in the US, Australia, and Europe.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I think you are reporting these stories wrong, Amy, Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I do, and I think the way we should do
it from now on is today there wasn't a hack
of half the world, and that that is the news. Yeah,
you know, as I say, if anybody thinks there is
privacy out there, anybody, they're crazy, they're completely nuts.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Then they're living under a rock.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
They do not have credit cards, they don't own a house,
they don't pay rent. Truly, they live under a rock.
And that's the only way you can go through life.
And then then their story's done on you because you're
one of the few human beings and then they find
out about you anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
All right. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt announced yesterday
that she has given birth to her second child, Viviana
aka Vivi joined the family. She said, her heart of
their hearts are instantly exploded with love. Anybody that's had
a child knows what that is. And she posted this
(13:13):
on Instagram with a photo of her holding her child.
I think she had her first child, Nicholas, during the
twenty twenty four presidential campaign.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I thought, yeah, these names are very strange. I thought
her first child would be DONALDO and her second child,
this one would be Danalda. Okay, moving on, She's only
twenty eight years old. Yeah, youngest press secretary. By the way,
the DONALDO and Danalda is a joke. Donald, Okay, I
(13:47):
know you got it. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Totally passed me. Yeah, but I thought it was just me.
Maybe it was you.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
She's the youngest press secretary ever and.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
The only one that's given birth during her during a
press conference. No, that would be that would be pretty
that would be something.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Well, it looks like you're not going anywhere if you're
not paying your child support. The US State Department is
starting to revoke passports of parents who owe a significant
amount of unpaid child support. The revocations will start today
and be focused on those who owe one hundred thousand
dollars or more. That's about twenty seven hundred passport holders,
(14:33):
and then it's going to expand to cover parents who
owe more than twenty five hundred in unpaid child support.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
No surprise, you know, figuring out And that's a good idea.
I have no problem with the idea. But I'm a
little concerned. We're not concerned, look confused. And that is
the revocations would be focused on those one hundred thousand
dollars or more, which is not huge and MURSA twenty
seven hundred American passport holders and.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
The revocation program. The story says we'll.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Be expanded to cover parents who are more than twenty
five hundred dollars. So at this point, oh okay, I
guess it's automatic at one hundred thousand dollars and then
it's going to continue on and drop the twenty five
hundred dollars of unpaid child support. Now I don't think
many people are against that. Well, child supports pretty important stuff.
So you know, the USA Department, I think is doing
(15:31):
the right thing on this one.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Agreed. So once again we have to pay for something
we can't afford. You've got the Los Angeles Police Department
estimatey will cost one point one five billion dollars to
staff the twenty twenty eight Olympics and Paralympic Games. So
this is two comes out as a memo that was
(15:55):
presented yesterday to the City Council's Budget and Finance Committee.
Holy smugs.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
That's happy the department roughly half of the department's current
annual budget of.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The entire year, and this goes two weeks, and that's
kind of crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Where's that money going to come from. Question, has anybody
ever backed out?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, of the Olympics. Yes, there have been cities that
said no, thank you.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Which one it didn't work? One too long ago.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, there was a city that said not interested. It
was just too expensive because these Olympics cost a unbelievable
amount of money. Well, as I've often said, the only
two times the Olympics have ever made money both in
Los Angeles nineteen thirty two and nineteen eighty four, and
after that, every Olympic has lost money, in some cases
(16:52):
money beyond comprehension. Beijing was probably sixty billion dollars to
put on, but that was a political move because they
wanted to introduce himself to the world as a major power. Uh.
But and the cost of now obviously the cost of
uh security in general just to cost them doing everything.
Inflation deals with that. But security is so expensive now
(17:16):
because of the climate. I don't think any Olympics could
ever ever break even again.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's just too expensive.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Staffed with the lad Yeah, but this is far far
more to think the l A p D with nine
thousand cops, of which X number of cops have to
be on the street anyway, you can't take them all
off the street. Uh, it's not even close as to
what is needed. So is the federal government getting to
be involved in paying for security?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Is private industry sponsors going to be paying for of
course ticket sales?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Is that going to help? Of course? Is the Olympic?
Are the Olympics going.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
To lose their shirt our shirts as you pointed out,
and Neil, of course all right.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Psychiatrists say it's not that simple. The Health and Human
Services Department, as we told you about yesterday, has launched
a plan to ween patients off antidepressants. Mental health advocates
and psychiatrists say blaming the mental health crisis in the
US on over medicalization and over prescription of psychiatric medications
(18:26):
is an inaccurate portrayal of a very complex problem. They
basically say, it goes on to ignore the larger reality,
which is that too many patients don't have access to
the care that they need. She says, yees, go ahead,
I was just going to say that. The doctor went
on to say that she and the American Psychiatric Association
do support plans to better train health care providers to
(18:48):
safely prescribe and ween patients off antidepressants.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, and we're not talking about over medication either. So
I think the bottom line of the CDC at this
point to make a very successful healthy life no vaccines
and no psychiatric medications, so go crazy and die of
some disease.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, I think I think it's smart to look at
the way it's used in children and younger people, because
you know, their brains are still growing.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I understand now, there's a lot of us, you know,
me included that without a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor would
be kind of miserable like I was for fifty years
of my life.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah. And the whole point is these are tested drugs.
These are screened very heavily by the health authorities, the CDC,
the FDA, the FDA, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Does the FDA do drugs? Yes, so anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
In the Federal Drug or the Food and Drug Administration?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, I don't know if the FDA does. I think
they do drugs, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The Food and Drug Administration?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I think so? Maybe do I have that wrong?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, it's got drugs.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh No, just because they call no, Just because they
call it that doesn't necessarily mean I always thought they
concentrate for the most part on food that's their ninety
nine percent, you know, and drugs because it's in the name. Okay,
fair enough, thank.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
You for fun of me. Let's move on.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Tobacco.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
No tobacco is the tobacco people on the Yeah, okay,
moving on.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Speaking of guns, the United States Postal Service is looking
into the possibility ability of allowing handguns to be mailed
for the first time in nearly a century if this
proposed rule under the Trump administration is approved. You know,
(20:53):
obviously people are concerned about gun trafficking and making this
some some sort of pipeline. But since nineteen twenty seven,
Congress has banned the USPS from mailing concealable firearms unless
they were set from licensed dealers.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I have a question, and I did when I did
the same couple of nights ago. I was part of
a panel and afterwards having some conversations with people in
the audience. And my question is, why is it that
if you are a conservative, you must be against guns.
You must be against four that's true, four guns and
(21:31):
the position of the NRA. You have to be in lockstep.
There is no possibility of you being against guns and
still be a conservative Republican. I mean across the board.
If you're not in lockstep with whatever position, then I
guess you are some kind of enemy.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
There's no such thing as looking at.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
One issue or being one part of the population the
electorate and thinking the other way. You can't do it.
You can't, and it drives me completely nuts.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So every Republican, every Republicans.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You have to be Yeah, are there any pro abortion?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
It's it's both sides, man, everybody.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No, I just said that.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
No, I just said that everybody has to be in
lockstep with a position of the party. You cannot say,
you know what, I'm a Democrat, but I believe in
heavy duty.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
For example, border enforcement. You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You can't be a Democrat and say I want looser
gun control because I'm a gun owner and I like
do it.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You can't do it.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You can't do it. What about the Democrats who don't
like guns and want to defund the police? A message?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah? How many?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
How many? Well, at least on the defunding part. I
don't think people go that crazy if you're a Democrat.
But just what bothers me? The hell that it is
just straight out lockstep. And for example, well this position,
Donald Trump doesn't give a rats ass about gun control.
He's ever been a gun owners security Well, no, I'm
(23:04):
not talking about that through his entire life. He's never
been pro gunned. But you have to take the Republican stance.
You have to because that was the position. That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I wish we could wish it all away, quite honestly,
the chef guns to deal with any of it.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Okay, whoa Now the next story, Neil, and this is
is that you form the next story again?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
No, okay?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Why people are keeping quiet behind bars? Well, and a
woman who's serving time in the same place where Jeffrey
Epstein's associate, Gillane Maxwell was serving time. So she's not
speaking out ever again because when she did, she says,
(23:55):
she found herself moved from a federal camp, which is
a super low security prison, to a more secure site,
a shift that followed her vocal outrage over Glene Maxwell's arrival. Apparently,
she and several others had been openly critical of the
way the prison appeared to ben the rules for the
high society convict. Last year, the Daily Telegraph highlighted the
(24:17):
prisoner at Brian who said she was disgusted by Maxwell's
transfer there. And then after that happened, prison staff pulled
her out of a puppy training class that she was
attending and moved her away from the camp. She was
then sent to a federal detention center in Houston.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, where's I mean? This story stinks to high heaven.
That doesn't pass the smell.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Testugh this I hated the way this came out. So
it happened. On April twenty third and twenty seven, the
officers with US Customs and Border Protection boarded eight cruise
ships and between those dates there interviewed twenty eight workers
(24:58):
part of an ongoing investigation and uh great, they're looking
at these, you know, for child porn and bad people
distribution all that. However, dozens of workers were from multiple
cruise ships that docked in San Diego. One was from
the Disney Cruise Line, so one of the dozens was
(25:19):
Disney Cruise Line. And every single headline was about Disney.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Because that's the story, Neil, Because you it doesn't matter
if the other one. No one pays attention. But Disney
Disney is a story in and of itself because it's so.
It's because Disney is ubiquitous, because Disney has a reputation
rightly so the ultimate family adventure and the ultimate family market.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I get all of that, and it's based my eyebrow.
But still it's a little disingenuous. If you say seven
cruise ships dozens and one found on Disney Cruise Line. Fine,
but it was just like it seemed like that. It
was Disney Cruise Line was rated and they all came
from there. That's how it originally read.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
That's all okay, how about the sweet you can get
to Mickey and Minnie on their first date.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's the matter with you plenty. Why do you hate
happiness so much?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't know. I'm sure happy because happiness is unhappy.
Oh yes, unhappiness is happy in my life.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Although I will tell you he was very happy when
he spent a day at Disney.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yes, Amy, I actually was.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I haven't responded.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I have to admit that. I have to admit that
I did. The rides are tremendous and uh and it
wasn't so crowded, which is it's always been My complaint
is crowds always because.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
It's so popular, because it's so popular, that's all.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
But if you can go on a day where it's
not that crowded, h then you're you're home free.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And I did have a great time, by the.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Way, And if you i'd like to see Bill handle happy,
go to my Instagram at Amy K.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
King. He actually smiles and laughs.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That was a contractual issue because of Amy and how
she perceives Disney. And that was the only way I
could get into the park was to smile, happy with
the big smile.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
All right, Moving on Alligator Alcatraz, maybe going away for good.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I thought it was gone already.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Remember they opened this immigration detention center in South Florida
and it was kind of in the Everglades and it
was impossible to get to, so they called it the
Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Well, that was a year ago.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And now Tom Holman has been asked about the possible
closure of the state run facility. He says, we're talking
about it. No decision has apparently been made, but it's
sitting there just costing a lot of money. It's ineffective, expensive,
and it costs a state about a million dollars a
day to operate.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, and it costs several hundred million dollars to build,
and very very few people went there. It turned out
to be a more of a publicity stunt than it
was anything else because it was ineffective the from day one.
How many people are there today at a million dollars
a day that the state is paying.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
For I'd love to know. And one last story Juliani.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, Rudy Giuliani, form former New York City mayor. Of course,
it's been diagnosed with pneumonia. And guess what he's applying
for free medical care through a federal program for emergency workers.
That's what this is set aside for and others exposed
to talksin following the September eleventh, two thousand and one
(28:43):
terrorist attacks.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah, but if he was there, he deserves it like
everybody else.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, I don't have there's no allegation that is anything
there's a fraud, or he shouldn't have applied for it.
He is eligible for appride for it now turned down
certain things, for example, hair dye they tend to say.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No to when horrible hair dye that drips down your
face when you.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Oh yeah, pretty much, an we're done, guys.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I don't even know why that was a story, quite honestly.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
The hunt of virus boat, the hunt of virus stricken boat.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
And they're, well, we've done a story about this, but
there is a story that's not being told and I
want to share that with you.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
This is KFI AM six point forty. You've been listening

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I know Cono and behind the scenes, so I'm actually
in front of the scenes taking care of everything for us,
which is why the show sounds so terrific because of them. Okay,
that was a compliment, by the way, just to let
you know, even though it didn't sound like it smooth.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Thank you. Great job, guys. Cono couldn't ask for better, truly.
And now Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's
Bill Handle. It is a footy Friday, ask candle and

Speaker 2 (00:56):
As we start the show, and it's time to a
quick hello to one and all Amy.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
You're wearing the Dodger jersey.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You know it'd be better if it was the new
Jersey Dodgers, then you would it doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Okay, why are you wearing the Dodger jersey?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, because I'm going to the game tonight and the
Dodgers are back in town playing Atlanta tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Okay, answers that question.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Okay, I've been to two baseball games of my entire life.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
One when I was nine years old.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I remember that game and then there was a KFI
something that I went to right above the dugout and
that was it. You know, you can tell I'm a
big baseball fan, have you? And of course it comes
back to me and that's a precursor to my question
to you.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yes, have you ever had have you ever been like right.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
On top of the dugout where you're really close to
the pitchers or the ballplayers on the field.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yes, Okay, what was What.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
I noticed is how fast that ball travels. The thunk
of the baseball against the catchers met and it was wow, yeah, it's.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Like one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
So here's a little interesting trivia piece. When COVID hit,
you know, they shut everything down and then when they
reopened it, they had all those six feet spatial stuff
so they couldn't get everybody into the stadium. They only
had like every other row and it was really weird
how the seating was. But there were so few people
in the stadium you could hear everything going on on
(02:32):
the field. It was very eerie but also really a
cool experience.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Huh, all right, I'll buy that. Yeah, fair enough. Yeah,
Am I interested in going again?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Well?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
You go all the time don't you.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Yep, we're going tonight and tomorrow night.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Do you have season tickets?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
We do so between Disneyland season tickets and Dodgers is
season tickets? And how much money I know you make
here at.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
iHeart It's why I drive a twenty years old car.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And I was just about to say you you eat
cat food. Uh for the most part. And for those
of you that would like recipes for cat food, uh,
Amy has a lot of them. Kno, good morning, good morning,
and welcome back real quick.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Oh thanks, Happy Mother's Day to Ann and my mom
and my grandma.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Oh wow's Mother's Day.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I'm a cat on on Sunday?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Will you thank you?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah? What so we can record a happy Mother's Day.
I should wish I should go and visit my mom
for Mother's Day.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
You should?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, I should have you ever, No, No, she's in
the ground.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You know. I'm not one of those people that walk
walk up there and talk to dead people in the
ground or just a plot of grass.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Okay, now what.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
If there was some if I was delusional enough to
have her believing that she actually talks to me like
many people do, which I don't understand at all. You know,
hearing voices then maybe, but you know, I it was Frankly,
the conversations are much better now than they were when
she was alive.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
So okay, Uh, Neil, good morning to you.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Good morning, and uh Anne, Happy Mother's Day, dear, thank you, Neil,
and happy Mother's Day to my lovely wife Tracy, and
to my mom Kay and to Kono's mom. I miss
your baby.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
This is the show. The show is heading south, very
very quickly. The only thing worse than Mother's Day is
Father's Day. And your kids are still around, then you
have to deal with it, all right. Uh who else
is here? Okay, good morning?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
There's Anne?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Hello, Hello, and Will Coleschreiverer, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Okay, that what is it?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh? You have a I Heeart T shirt on my
heart thing. Yeah, and it's my hard thing. I'm assuming
you got it for free, of course.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Now I'm assuming that you don't actually wash it or
sweating it because the colors run.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It's pretty decent. It's a nice shirt.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Neil used to get a T shirts. Neil, what what
can you get a T shirt for? I mean you
can get really think you will.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Get a T shirt for five bucks, maybe six bucks,
but the size Neil needs is probably like thirty bucks.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, I'm sure excel those you know what fat man stores.
I once went into the plus size stores, that's what
they call it, and I will.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah fat.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And I once wrote a check and I went, I
weighed north to three hundred pounds, and I wrote a
check that actually said the name of the store, and
I put fat and huge.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And the guy doesn't react.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You just go, sir, that's not the name of the store,
very calmly, and you know, no reaction other than that.
All right, We've got plenty of news to cover today
on a Friday, Friday's are always fine. We've got a
story how your life is going to fall apart. It's
going to be far worse than you could possibly imagine.
We'll be doing one of those boy that got me
(06:24):
excited because you know I love those. And then we've
got oh, of course, we have Foody Friday with Neil
and then ask Candle anything coming up.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
At eight thirty, So let's do it.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It's time for Handle on the News with Amy and
Neil and me lead. Sorry, well, it looks like the
ceasefire is well well asconced The US and Iran exchange
fire at the or right near the Strait of Horn
Moose and raising questions about the negotiations. But the President said,
(07:00):
the attacks that happened where three US military ships were
attacked as they're trying to transiting stut the strait and
the United States. The US forces came back, but this
was a love tap and there was no damage done
to the three destroyers, which means there is no U.
I guess there's no violation of the ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I don't get this.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh, Also, wasn't the ceasefire if it hadn't come about
as of Wednesday night? The US was going to bomb
the hell out of Iran and they only had till
Wednesday night.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Oops?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Does anybody pay attention anymore when the ceasefire lines are drawn,
lines in the sand or lines in the ocean, Does
anybody know what's going on?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I sure don't.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Okay, So a ceasefire is still in effect even though
everybody's bombing the crap out of everybody else.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Right, maybe he meant seasfire likes.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I think I see fire. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
If I had to guess, and without me doing any
kind of shtick or making fun of the President, I think,
which is impossible for me to do. I think the
definition of ceasefire is that there is not out and
out conflict where a war as we conceive and perceive
of a war, and so anything short of that, even
(08:26):
there's exchange of gunfire, even though there are skirmishes, it
is not a violation of the ceasefire. And I think
it's an interesting definition, but so be it.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Health officials keeping a close eye on a handful of
Americans because they were on board that ship that's having
the hauntavirus outbreak. People from California, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas
are currently being monitored for potential infection after they were
on the cruise ship. None have shown signs of illness
(08:58):
so far. But these are some of the people who
got off the ship in late April, a couple weeks ago,
right after the first person died, and health officials saying
there's no information that the California residents are ill or infected,
and at this time the risk to public health in
California is low.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I'm going to do a story about that at seven
o'clock because there is one aspect to the story that
we are not paying attention to and I think we
have to know what's going on. It's a very important
part of that story that's being ignored. I can't hear you, Neil, Mike.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Oh sorry, pal, Pe're well under the weather and a
little out of it this morning. All right. Bill has
called this out in the past. Panel of federal judges
on Thursday found President Trump had violated the law when
he imposed a ten percent tariff on most US ports.
So split ruling here, Court of International Trade found President
(10:03):
Trump had wrongly invoked a decade's old trade law when
he applied those duties beginning in February.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, and the president invokes these laws or violates these
laws because of a couple of things. One, Internationally, there
are procedures that have to be followed which the president
does not. Nationally, tariffs have to be voted on by Congress.
And it's that pesky, pesky constitution that is getting in
(10:33):
the way of almost everything the president is doing.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Man, it just he just hates that he really does.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Nothing should get in the way of making arbitrary decisions.
For example, tariffs, so which the government has collected hundreds
of billions of dollars, which are all going to be returned,
and that's already in place now. To give the Trump
administration credit, they are returning the money. They're paying attention
(11:05):
to the courts on this one. One of the thing
that the president is not doing is completely ignoring the courts,
even though he calls things unconstitutional and makes that determination
and says, the court made a decision that's unconstitutional.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Great, okay, But.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
In the meantime, you're going to see a lot more
of this over the next three years.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Hacked The cybersecurity breach at the company behind the Canvas
learning management system that's used in colleges and schools across
the country grew into a widespread outedge yesterday, leaving students
and faculty at dozens of California campuses locked out of
(11:42):
the platform.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
They're they use it to access.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Court coursework, readings and assignments, and its finals week, so
kind of important to have access to those things. The
hacker group claimed it stole hundreds of millions of records
tied to students and employees at about nine thousand schools
in the US, Australia, and Europe.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I think you are reporting these stories wrong, Amy, Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I do, and I think the way we should do
it from now on is today there wasn't a hack
of half the world, and that that is the news. Yeah,
you know, as I say, if anybody thinks there is
privacy out there, anybody, they're crazy, they're completely nuts.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Then they're living under a rock.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
They do not have credit cards, they don't own a house,
they don't pay rent. Truly, they live under a rock.
And that's the only way you can go through life.
And then then their story's done on you because you're
one of the few human beings and then they find
out about you anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
All right. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt announced yesterday
that she has given birth to her second child, Viviana
aka Vivi joined the family. She said, her heart of
their hearts are instantly exploded with love. Anybody that's had
a child knows what that is. And she posted this
(13:13):
on Instagram with a photo of her holding her child.
I think she had her first child, Nicholas, during the
twenty twenty four presidential campaign.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I thought, yeah, these names are very strange. I thought
her first child would be DONALDO and her second child,
this one would be Danalda. Okay, moving on, She's only
twenty eight years old. Yeah, youngest press secretary. By the way,
the DONALDO and Danalda is a joke. Donald, Okay, I
(13:47):
know you got it. Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Totally passed me. Yeah, but I thought it was just me.
Maybe it was you.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
She's the youngest press secretary ever and.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
The only one that's given birth during her during a
press conference. No, that would be that would be pretty
that would be something.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Well, it looks like you're not going anywhere if you're
not paying your child support. The US State Department is
starting to revoke passports of parents who owe a significant
amount of unpaid child support. The revocations will start today
and be focused on those who owe one hundred thousand
dollars or more. That's about twenty seven hundred passport holders,
(14:33):
and then it's going to expand to cover parents who
owe more than twenty five hundred in unpaid child support.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
No surprise, you know, figuring out And that's a good idea.
I have no problem with the idea. But I'm a
little concerned. We're not concerned, look confused. And that is
the revocations would be focused on those one hundred thousand
dollars or more, which is not huge and MURSA twenty
seven hundred American passport holders and.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
The revocation program. The story says we'll.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Be expanded to cover parents who are more than twenty
five hundred dollars. So at this point, oh okay, I
guess it's automatic at one hundred thousand dollars and then
it's going to continue on and drop the twenty five
hundred dollars of unpaid child support. Now I don't think
many people are against that. Well, child supports pretty important stuff.
So you know, the USA Department, I think is doing
(15:31):
the right thing on this one.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Agreed. So once again we have to pay for something
we can't afford. You've got the Los Angeles Police Department
estimatey will cost one point one five billion dollars to
staff the twenty twenty eight Olympics and Paralympic Games. So
this is two comes out as a memo that was
(15:55):
presented yesterday to the City Council's Budget and Finance Committee.
Holy smugs.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
That's happy the department roughly half of the department's current
annual budget of.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
The entire year, and this goes two weeks, and that's
kind of crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Where's that money going to come from. Question, has anybody
ever backed out?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, of the Olympics. Yes, there have been cities that
said no, thank you.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Which one it didn't work? One too long ago.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, there was a city that said not interested. It
was just too expensive because these Olympics cost a unbelievable
amount of money. Well, as I've often said, the only
two times the Olympics have ever made money both in
Los Angeles nineteen thirty two and nineteen eighty four, and
after that, every Olympic has lost money, in some cases
(16:52):
money beyond comprehension. Beijing was probably sixty billion dollars to
put on, but that was a political move because they
wanted to introduce himself to the world as a major power. Uh.
But and the cost of now obviously the cost of
uh security in general just to cost them doing everything.
Inflation deals with that. But security is so expensive now
(17:16):
because of the climate. I don't think any Olympics could
ever ever break even again.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
It's just too expensive.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Staffed with the lad Yeah, but this is far far
more to think the l A p D with nine
thousand cops, of which X number of cops have to
be on the street anyway, you can't take them all
off the street. Uh, it's not even close as to
what is needed. So is the federal government getting to
be involved in paying for security?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Is private industry sponsors going to be paying for of
course ticket sales?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Is that going to help? Of course? Is the Olympic?
Are the Olympics going.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
To lose their shirt our shirts as you pointed out,
and Neil, of course all right.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Psychiatrists say it's not that simple. The Health and Human
Services Department, as we told you about yesterday, has launched
a plan to ween patients off antidepressants. Mental health advocates
and psychiatrists say blaming the mental health crisis in the
US on over medicalization and over prescription of psychiatric medications
(18:26):
is an inaccurate portrayal of a very complex problem. They
basically say, it goes on to ignore the larger reality,
which is that too many patients don't have access to
the care that they need. She says, yees, go ahead,
I was just going to say that. The doctor went
on to say that she and the American Psychiatric Association
do support plans to better train health care providers to
(18:48):
safely prescribe and ween patients off antidepressants.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, and we're not talking about over medication either. So
I think the bottom line of the CDC at this
point to make a very successful healthy life no vaccines
and no psychiatric medications, so go crazy and die of
some disease.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, I think I think it's smart to look at
the way it's used in children and younger people, because
you know, their brains are still growing.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I understand now, there's a lot of us, you know,
me included that without a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor would
be kind of miserable like I was for fifty years
of my life.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah. And the whole point is these are tested drugs.
These are screened very heavily by the health authorities, the CDC,
the FDA, the FDA, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Does the FDA do drugs? Yes, so anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
In the Federal Drug or the Food and Drug Administration?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, I don't know if the FDA does. I think
they do drugs, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
The Food and Drug Administration?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I think so? Maybe do I have that wrong?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, it's got drugs.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh No, just because they call no, Just because they
call it that doesn't necessarily mean I always thought they
concentrate for the most part on food that's their ninety
nine percent, you know, and drugs because it's in the name. Okay,
fair enough, thank.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
You for fun of me. Let's move on.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Tobacco.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
No tobacco is the tobacco people on the Yeah, okay,
moving on.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Speaking of guns, the United States Postal Service is looking
into the possibility ability of allowing handguns to be mailed
for the first time in nearly a century if this
proposed rule under the Trump administration is approved. You know,
(20:53):
obviously people are concerned about gun trafficking and making this
some some sort of pipeline. But since nineteen twenty seven,
Congress has banned the USPS from mailing concealable firearms unless
they were set from licensed dealers.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I have a question, and I did when I did
the same couple of nights ago. I was part of
a panel and afterwards having some conversations with people in
the audience. And my question is, why is it that
if you are a conservative, you must be against guns.
You must be against four that's true, four guns and
(21:31):
the position of the NRA. You have to be in lockstep.
There is no possibility of you being against guns and
still be a conservative Republican. I mean across the board.
If you're not in lockstep with whatever position, then I
guess you are some kind of enemy.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
There's no such thing as looking at.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
One issue or being one part of the population the
electorate and thinking the other way. You can't do it.
You can't, and it drives me completely nuts.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So every Republican, every Republicans.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
You have to be Yeah, are there any pro abortion?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
It's it's both sides, man, everybody.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
No, I just said that.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
No, I just said that everybody has to be in
lockstep with a position of the party. You cannot say,
you know what, I'm a Democrat, but I believe in
heavy duty.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
For example, border enforcement. You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You can't be a Democrat and say I want looser
gun control because I'm a gun owner and I like
do it.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
You can't do it.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You can't do it. What about the Democrats who don't
like guns and want to defund the police? A message?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah? How many?
Speaker 2 (22:42):
How many? Well, at least on the defunding part. I
don't think people go that crazy if you're a Democrat.
But just what bothers me? The hell that it is
just straight out lockstep. And for example, well this position,
Donald Trump doesn't give a rats ass about gun control.
He's ever been a gun owners security Well, no, I'm
(23:04):
not talking about that through his entire life. He's never
been pro gunned. But you have to take the Republican stance.
You have to because that was the position. That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I wish we could wish it all away, quite honestly,
the chef guns to deal with any of it.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Okay, whoa Now the next story, Neil, and this is
is that you form the next story again?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
No, okay?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Why people are keeping quiet behind bars? Well, and a
woman who's serving time in the same place where Jeffrey
Epstein's associate, Gillane Maxwell was serving time. So she's not
speaking out ever again because when she did, she says,
(23:55):
she found herself moved from a federal camp, which is
a super low security prison, to a more secure site,
a shift that followed her vocal outrage over Glene Maxwell's arrival. Apparently,
she and several others had been openly critical of the
way the prison appeared to ben the rules for the
high society convict. Last year, the Daily Telegraph highlighted the
(24:17):
prisoner at Brian who said she was disgusted by Maxwell's
transfer there. And then after that happened, prison staff pulled
her out of a puppy training class that she was
attending and moved her away from the camp. She was
then sent to a federal detention center in Houston.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Yeah, where's I mean? This story stinks to high heaven.
That doesn't pass the smell.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Testugh this I hated the way this came out. So
it happened. On April twenty third and twenty seven, the
officers with US Customs and Border Protection boarded eight cruise
ships and between those dates there interviewed twenty eight workers
(24:58):
part of an ongoing investigation and uh great, they're looking
at these, you know, for child porn and bad people
distribution all that. However, dozens of workers were from multiple
cruise ships that docked in San Diego. One was from
the Disney Cruise Line, so one of the dozens was
(25:19):
Disney Cruise Line. And every single headline was about Disney.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Because that's the story, Neil, Because you it doesn't matter
if the other one. No one pays attention. But Disney
Disney is a story in and of itself because it's so.
It's because Disney is ubiquitous, because Disney has a reputation
rightly so the ultimate family adventure and the ultimate family market.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I get all of that, and it's based my eyebrow.
But still it's a little disingenuous. If you say seven
cruise ships dozens and one found on Disney Cruise Line. Fine,
but it was just like it seemed like that. It
was Disney Cruise Line was rated and they all came
from there. That's how it originally read.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
That's all okay, how about the sweet you can get
to Mickey and Minnie on their first date.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It's the matter with you plenty. Why do you hate
happiness so much?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't know. I'm sure happy because happiness is unhappy.
Oh yes, unhappiness is happy in my life.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Although I will tell you he was very happy when
he spent a day at Disney.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yes, Amy, I actually was.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I haven't responded.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I have to admit that. I have to admit that
I did. The rides are tremendous and uh and it
wasn't so crowded, which is it's always been My complaint
is crowds always because.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
It's so popular, because it's so popular, that's all.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
But if you can go on a day where it's
not that crowded, h then you're you're home free.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
And I did have a great time, by the.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Way, And if you i'd like to see Bill handle happy,
go to my Instagram at Amy K.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
King. He actually smiles and laughs.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
By the way.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
That was a contractual issue because of Amy and how
she perceives Disney. And that was the only way I
could get into the park was to smile, happy with
the big smile.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
All right, Moving on Alligator Alcatraz, maybe going away for good.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
I thought it was gone already.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Remember they opened this immigration detention center in South Florida
and it was kind of in the Everglades and it
was impossible to get to, so they called it the
Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Well, that was a year ago.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And now Tom Holman has been asked about the possible
closure of the state run facility. He says, we're talking
about it. No decision has apparently been made, but it's
sitting there just costing a lot of money. It's ineffective, expensive,
and it costs a state about a million dollars a
day to operate.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, and it costs several hundred million dollars to build,
and very very few people went there. It turned out
to be a more of a publicity stunt than it
was anything else because it was ineffective the from day one.
How many people are there today at a million dollars
a day that the state is paying.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
For I'd love to know. And one last story Juliani.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, Rudy Giuliani, form former New York City mayor. Of course,
it's been diagnosed with pneumonia. And guess what he's applying
for free medical care through a federal program for emergency workers.
That's what this is set aside for and others exposed
to talksin following the September eleventh, two thousand and one
(28:43):
terrorist attacks.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Yeah, but if he was there, he deserves it like
everybody else.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, I don't have there's no allegation that is anything
there's a fraud, or he shouldn't have applied for it.
He is eligible for appride for it now turned down
certain things, for example, hair dye they tend to say.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
No to when horrible hair dye that drips down your
face when you.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Oh yeah, pretty much, an we're done, guys.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I don't even know why that was a story, quite honestly.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
The hunt of virus boat, the hunt of virus stricken boat.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
And they're, well, we've done a story about this, but
there is a story that's not being told and I
want to share that with you.
