huge KFI is on that app. You know, we're like
the number one most listened to radio station on that app.
And just iHeartRadio alone has like eight hundred stations, let
(00:44):
alone all the other stations on there. Look at that.
Do a victory lap with that little number right there,
a worldwide audience, world wide. You're gonna do it around
more world, Mark Dennisa. It's Neil Savager, by the way,
in the morning crew Handles getting a camera in his
bootox right now or soon. And that's okay. That was
(01:08):
strangely enough, that was will Coleshriver's only birthday wish. He said,
blew out the candles and he said, I hope Handle
gets a camera up is ours, and the little birthday
wish fairy said, you don't be true. We're gonna put
those pictures up on Instagram. He wants to. And it's
(01:29):
not the first time we've put him on shirts before.
Many many years ago, he was doing Master Serve, which
is was a re piping company. I don't know if
it's so still around. It was a copper repiping company
that it was a great company, and he was a
spokesperson for them, and they did t shirts brought to
you of his call of his pipes brought to you
(01:50):
by Master Serve.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You know, it's not a big deal to see them
because you know that everything's all clean, and it's kind
of a enough.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Thanks. Amy, I think we learned something about you. Well,
you were talking about King Queen of Clean Closets and Colon's.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well saved my life, so I'm a big advocate.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
No, it didn't. The doctors that removed it did, That's true.
They only saw it that that actually it caused the problem,
Amy King, not exactly. All right, we discovered the problem,
all right. I love when I use really bad like
analogies and logic and then I'll just go like this,
(02:36):
I'll go, well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
They're like, no, two plus two equals four. I'm like,
we'll just have to agreed to disagree. So good morning
to everybody. Hi there, Amy King, Hi, how are you?
I'm great, that beautiful smile, always peppy. Do you ever
get mad? Mm hmmm, oh I don't want to see that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I think Gary and Shannon one time I was kind
of in a mood and I dropped the F bomb
and they were like, we've never heard that from.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You, respectfully, because we're you know, same age. Respectfully. It
would be like hearing my mom cuss. And I've heard
my mom cuss. Lovely Catholic woman.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I've never heard my mother say that word.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh I have, but it was very rare, and she
was a Catholic school girl. It's very rare, and it
would and she I think she did it because she
had so many boys and she's like, if you guys
are going to do it, then I'm going to do it.
But it did stop everything, and it didn't have the power.
She thought it made us go speaking of the F word.
(03:45):
Good morning, Kno, how you doing, buddy? Good morning? I
E one love? That's me one love baby. Hey, who's house?
Ram's house? That's right? Yeah, I know, I'm going through
all the tradition. You know what we got to do though, seeeriously,
we got to get the w. We got to take
it to the paint. We've got to give one hundred
and and we got to get that w. That's it.
(04:06):
But yeah, okay, all that, that's a wrong sport. But yes,
what do you mean football's got paid? You don't take
it his paint throughout the field, so you don't know.
But the end zone is paint the paint. No, but
I get you. I didn't say floorboards. Good job. Hey, okay,
we'll agree to disagree. Okay, we'll Cole Schreiber, happy birthday,
(04:29):
good morning, thank you. Look at it and the traffic
gods gave you nothing but smooth sailing. Well not right now,
it's kind offul Yeah, we've got issues. We've got issues.
And like I said, it's clear out side, there's no
issues on the roads. Oh right, yes, Oh, we'll agree
to disagree then, I guess will Cole Schreiber my fault.
(04:53):
Good morning morning, Nice to see you, Good to see you.
You're very lovely. Handle says a lot of crap. I
think you intimidate him. I'm going to be honest. I
think you do. I think you hold the power. Yeah,
and I think he he likes to uh to shock.
But you're he does, Yeah, he does. I wish he
(05:16):
was shocked. I wish we could do that. You know
what I can do that. I'm a maker. I could
wire this chair up. He's a peasy lemon squeeze and
then that button there that says cough. Yeah, and I
did that once. Yeah. I wanted to see what it
did to the dog because someone had one and I said,
(05:38):
I don't know that this is great, and so I
put it on and I'm like, it doesn't do anything,
and someone says, well, bark, So I barked, and you
know what, it works. Yeah. And the more you scream
ow similar to a bark, the higher it turns itself up.
(06:02):
I learned, and keeps the intensive.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
So you think it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
No, I don't know. I don't know enough about the
dog's physiology to know, with the fur and everything, how
it Yeah, you know how it worksspective Yeah. Yeah, I'm
just saying I don't know if I'd rather have that
than one of those forked choke colors. Whenever I see that,
I go this person doesn't know how to fuel their
(06:28):
doc Anyways, any who handle is getting a colonoscoped today,
and we wish the doctor well, not a cave I
want to splunk. But good for him for getting things
checked out. I like Amy King. I am a big
fan of taking care of your business. There was a
(06:48):
there was a billboard that said, gosh, every year, hundreds
of thousands of men die from stupidity because we just
are not good about taking care of ourselves and going
out there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So coldon cancer is the number two killer.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, it's seriously, and it's treatable.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's preventable if you catch it early.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, and I had a friend die of it. A
very different line.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I have had a couple very dear friends die from.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And I did tell him before he went that I
thought it happened because he was full of crap. Oh
he's not. Now, No, he gotta chuckle out of that.
I kind of say things sometimes you think that I
don't know, I'm real. I guess let's go to the news,
(07:43):
shall we lead story?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Newsome you silly goose. So he says that the White
House blocked him from speaking at a global forum. This
is Gavin new Some Yeah, that one California governor. He
said he was blocked by the Trump administration from speaking
at the World Economic Forum in DeVos Davos, Davos, Davos, Davos, Davos, Davos, Hey, Davos,
(08:14):
Hey there in Switzerland. Still never stayed in Switzerland. Did
a little pit stop once Gorus like a Christmas card.
Apparently he had been asked to speak at the event
at US House. This is the pavilion, the American pavilion
at this annual gathering. I don't know what the political
(08:39):
stupidity is here, but I will tell you. I just
have one wish for politicians. Stop leaving your post for
global stuff. Just stop fill the potholes. Deal with it here.
Do the basic things. That's it. That's it. Everybody wants
(09:04):
to be it's it is truly Hollywood for ugly people
except you, gav But it is that the whole climbing
and wanting to be on a global platform. You are
a California leader, Come lead California, Bass. You are a
La City leader, Come serve La City. Stop thinking that
(09:28):
you have global importance when you have local needs that
you're not attending to please. For the love of all
that is glorious, down off my soak bucks, Okay, Amy
letter roll.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The world's running dry you you, And scientists say dozens
of the world's major rivers are so heavily tapped they
often run dry before they get to the sea. More
than half of all large lakes are shrinking, and most
of the world's major underground sources are declining irreversibly, as
agriculture pumping drains water that took centuries or even thousands
(10:04):
of years to accumulate. The scientists they're calling it a
global water bankruptcy.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, we were taught though, I thought as kids that
the water is water is water, and it goes up
and then it comes back down and it goes up,
and we don't make more and we don't have less.
So are they saying that there is a super evaporation
where or that we're not managing the water we have? Well,
(10:34):
because bankruptcy sounds like to me, it's we're running out. Yeah,
we're running out. We're just gonna have to agree to disagree.
I yeah, all right. Immigration officers they have this assertion
going around because everybody on the interwebs is a legal
(10:55):
analyst when it comes to anything and everything, and they
are asserting they have sweeping power to enter homes without
a judge's warrant because it's the equivalent, from what I've heard,
of a bench warrant, because they're here illegally. So these
federal immigration officers are saying that this sweeping power to
(11:19):
forcibly enter people's home without a judge's warrant is according
to an internal Immigration and Customs enforcement memo. The Associated
Press says they got their hands on this and it
marks a sharp reversal of long standing guidance. Guidance meant
to respect constitutional limits on government searches. So then you
(11:39):
get into the Fourth Amendment and there's issues, but I'm
hearing things going back and forth about how it actually
comes down to the fact that it's it's like if
you miss a court date, you get a bench warrant,
and that happens automatically. Now keep in mind, I'm like handle,
I have no legal expertise, but that was my understanding
(12:05):
of it, and we'll have to see that play out,
all right.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Taking the law for granted. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith
is apparently going to warn Americans not to take the
rule of law for granted. He'll be making his first
public testimony before Congress about the investigations into President Trump
from his prepared statement, which was obtained by NBC News,
he says, I have seen how the rule of law
(12:28):
can erode my fears. We've seen the rule of law
function in this country for so long that many of
us have come to take it for granted. He's going
to tell that to the House Judiciary Committee. He also
plans to tell Congress that his investigation into President Trump developed,
in his words, proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump
engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn his twenty twenty
(12:51):
election loss.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, that was a horrible time. I will you know what.
I hear a lot being thrown around, and listen, call
balls and strikes men. I don't care if you've got
an R or a D. If you do something stupid,
I'm going to point it out. But one of the
things that I hate the most is no one's above
the law. When they're talking about Trump. No one is
above the law unless you're homeless or an illegal alien. Anyhow,
(13:21):
back to the News, shall we go. This surprised the
hell out of me. I don't know how you responded
to it. But the Uvaldi trial that you had that
former school police officer Adrian Gonzalez was found not guilty
on all counts, and this was this jury acquitted him
for his response to the rob Elementary shooting on May
(13:45):
of twenty twenty two. We all remember this just insane.
You had nineteen students, two teachers killed seventy seven minutes
before lawforcement mounted a counter assault. To you know, what
(14:07):
constitutes nothing less than a rampage vulgar display to me
of law enforcement and protection. I don't know how you
could see it anyway. Now, I wasn't on the jury.
I don't know if there's more details to it, but
to me, there.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Had to be something that we didn't hear. If he
was acquitted on all twenty nine charges.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
You'd think because you're you're looking at you know, different
all kinds of different charges, and just I mean each
count carried a penalty of two years in prison, and
you've got so many different things that were going on
(14:50):
at the time. The videos I remember us seeing where
they were standing around and listen, law enforcement is not
a job I want to do. I mean there was
a time when I wanted to get into executive security
for high target individual individuals. Yeah, learn something new, huh, Yeah,
(15:11):
But that's a that's a tough gig and we always
second guess them because they have to make, you know,
very quick decisions sometimes. But this one just seemed like,
you know what, that's that's when you earn that title. Man,
you go in shooting seventy seven minutes is unacceptable to me.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well, but and I think his his lawyers had said
that they made this gentleman. And I'm not making a
judgment on I'm just saying what they're saying is that
that they made Gonzalez the police officer, the escapegoat for
everything that there were failings. I mean, like to stand
outside for seventy seven minutes. It wasn't only one person.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, No, I agree, I agree that they lost the board.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, so they he was saying, they basically said he
was responsible for all the things that went wrong, And
maybe that's why the Jersey just went, yeah, he's not
the only one responsible. So maybe I know, again, it
wasn't mean You're probably right.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I think it was one of those things where they
tried to lump it all onto one person and it
was a total breakdown across the board.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, a baby lion's been rescued. Okay, so yesterday I
said it on KTLA. They had video of a mountain
lion cub sitting in the middle of a road in
Castaic and just looked so adorable and peaceful.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
But it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
The little guy was injured and then he apparently was
able to run off. Wildlife officials went and searched for
him because he may have been hit by a car.
They're saying they did find him and grabbed him. I'm
calling him him. We don't know if it's a boy,
but the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has rescued
him and now he's being treated.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You know what Anne wants to do. Adopt him, hug it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Oh my gosh, you should have seen me and Ann
yesterday or Anne and I yesterday. We were like just like, oh,
the baby, it was so beautiful. No, he was too
small to eat us.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
He would eat you at well a little bit at
a time.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But then Anne was saying, I would have gone, like
I would have had to go rescue him because they
were just kind of staring at him. There was a
car there with his headlights on it because it was
discovered at like one in the morning. But would you
because they also had two other mountain lions nearby, and
they think one of them was a mother. And if
you went up to the mountain lion cub.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, but you are supposed to stay in your car,
pull over and call law enforcement when you hit a
wild animal like that.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't think the person who found him hit him.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
No, no, but I'm saying whoever did hit them shouldn't
have left the scene. Well, they should have. Unfortunately, I've
hit a deer and you pull over and coming back
from from Big Bear and the smaller ones, the young
(18:03):
ones are just stupid. They will wait until you're close
and then jump out of the trees.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh the adults do it too.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh yeah, It just it was like, you know, and
you're going, gosh, I'm very you know, try and be
reasonable about those things. But yeah, and it's horrible. And
then you got to find a signal on the mountain
to be able to call the police, and then you
got to wait for them to come. And you just know,
and you know, if you've hit something, yes you do.
(18:33):
And you know what's sad more sad is I was
going slow enough to just kind of push it into
the road, and the other drivers on the other side
of the ones that but they didn't stop Cono. Somebody
hit us up on the talk back, by the way,
(18:54):
and you can do that easily if you're listening to
us on the iHeartRadio app. And you can just see
that little red button with the icon of a mic,
and you hit that and you got like thirty seconds
and we'll see them. They come up here. A lot
of happy birthdays to you, Will a lot of shout
outs for our own will Cole Schreiber. It's his birthday
(19:16):
and people are wishing you happy birthday. Nice. It feels
good to be finally thirty nine. Yeah, you know what,
and it looks good on you, buddy. I was surprised
to hear you were thirty nine. I thought twenty nine. Tops.
Oh man, you're my favorite, top, You're my favorite. But
one guy I said that I call balls and strikes,
and I do. I do not belong to a political party.
(19:38):
They both do stupid things and they both do good things.
But I said that when the left speaks about Trump,
they're always like, no one's above the law. And then
I said, except if you're homeless or an illegal immigrant,
and he was a Latino man and got upset. Well,
I hate to break it to you. But I'm Mexican,
(20:00):
so I'm of Mexican descent. Now I'm a proud American
of Mexican descent. But I think what's going on right
now with ICE's crap not because I don't think we
need to enforce our borders. We absolutely need to enforce
our borders. Every country does. I was talking about in
(20:21):
this particular case, about Democrats saying no one's above the law,
and then them making exceptions basing on what they believe.
I am a very fond of good neighbor policies and
that Latino brothers and sisters from the South should be
able to work here, and we should be able to
do it legally. We're smarter than that. So take your
(20:44):
hostility somewhere else back to handle. On the news, shall
we go? Beating death of a Glendale firefighter's wife allegedly
with an axe horrible story. Now new details are coming
out in the rest of an off duty Glendale firefighter
believed to have done this, just just horrific. So the
(21:08):
victim identified by family members as Mayra m a y r.
That Amy King going with Meyra on that one? Not Myra?
Is it not? Mayra?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I am not one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
M mens. She's fifty five, was described by friends as
a caring educator. She was a union representative actually with
the United Teachers of Los Angeles. But there's more and
more coming out of this story, and they found officers
responded to this fifty six hundred block and Satsuma Avenue
(21:46):
and found the victim who was dead and had been
brutally beaten. I was listening the other day to someone
in law enforcement talk about how the vast majority of
calls for local law enforcement officers are domestic, the vast majority,
(22:10):
and that there's some of the most intense calls on
how people get put back on the streets immediately, because
the victims often will just say no, nothing happened later,
just horrific Amy King.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So maybe all the bluster paid off. President Trump says
that he has reached a framework of a deal with
NATO over Greenland's future. He also pulled his threat of
slapping additional chair tariffs on eight European allies that had
been resisting his insistence that the US should own Greenland.
(22:47):
He said he would not use force to assert American ownership.
We don't know the details of the deal, but apparently
we got one, and NATO's Secretary General said, yep, we
got a deal.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
He always goes to one hundred. He goes to one hundred.
If he wants thirty, he goes to one hundred. And
then I mean it's so it's such basic negotiations, right,
ask for everything, come out huffing and puffin, and he's
good a huff and puffin, yeah, and then getting that
little piece. But we'll see how that plays out, all right,
(23:24):
sad sad story. Austin Butner, now he has been in
the news quite a bit. He is running for La mayor.
He is a candidate that wants to go up against Bass.
They have gone head to head and toe to toe
and a lot of things. One of the things he
points out is, of course, how the handling of last
(23:46):
year's Palisades fire, destroying thousands of homes, left twelve people.
Dad puts that at the foot of Bass. And it
turns out his one of his four daughters, who is
twenty two, passed away on January sixth, And this comes
from the La County Medical Examiner's website. But no reason
(24:12):
as to how we were what caused it. We know
she was in the hospital at the time and a
sad tie to this. You did have Bass come out
and say that she was profoundly saddened by the news,
and rightly so. But she has a different tie to this. Bass,
if you didn't know, had a daughter and a son
(24:33):
in law killed in two thousand and six in a
car crash on the four or five freeway, and so
they're bonded by this horrible similarity that just is I
could not imagine with a nine year old boy. To
lose a child is horrific.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Mister freeze means business. Here's a massive winter storm moving
across the US. More than two dozen states. They're going
to be affected. Their forecasters are saying damaging ice and
heavy snow is expected to hit late this week. The
blast of arctic air could set records during the typical
(25:17):
coldest time of the year. Snow's sleet, freezing rain could
stretch more than fifteen hundred miles all the way from
the plains across the south and into the Northeast. They're
expecting major travel disruction on roads and airports across the
entire footprint of the storm, and they're also saying be
ready for potentially long lasting power outages.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Okay, forty five bucks to fly without a real ID
that's starting in February. How many times, Amy, did they
ask us or tell us that we had to do
it by a certain date, certain date, certain day. I
mean seems like half a dozen times they changed.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Well, you know, initially, remember it was supposed to be
back in like twenty twenty, but then COVID hit and
so then they pushed it back, pushed it back, and
now it's you're supposed to have it, but now you
can still fly, but you have to pay a fee.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, forty five bucks.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
To or use your passport and you don't have to
worry about it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, I just it wasn't I did it during COVID,
and it was a pain because they had all those
COVID rules to do it. And it's the worst picture
of my entire life. Really, it's horrible. Listen, I'm not
a pretty person. I get it, but this is worse.
This is just a just horrific. But now it's it's done.
(26:39):
They keep telling you you gotta do this, you gotta
do this, you got to do this, and flying is
not a right you got to have that id.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Ice is in Maine and we're not talking about the
Big storm. A new immigration enforcement operation has been launched
in Maine, according to the Apartment of Homeland Security. They
didn't say how many arrests were made during the first day,
but they dubbed the operation in Maine Catch of the Day.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh boy. Yeah, all right. So this is like the
full on reality TV that everybody wants, and that is
the Clinton's on stand. I don't know what it is
about them. I don't think Clinton was a horrible president,
I really don't, but he and his wife were shady.
(27:34):
They just have always been shady to me. Good speaker,
but shady. So lawmakers have taken the next step towards
holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. And
now they're saying this is because they refuse to comply
with a subpoena to testify. And this all has to
do with the investigation, the congressional investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. Now,
(28:00):
remember Bill Clinton came out saying something along lines that
this these files need to come out. He's gonna be
I mean, he visited the island. I think there's so
many people on this list. Neither side wants this information out,
but he came out and he was saying, yeah, they've
(28:20):
got to release the files and all of this stuff,
but yet he doesn't want to comply with the investigation.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Seems odd and they could be in They could be
in real trouble for this. They could launch a criminal investigation.
Was talking to Steven Portnoy about this, and they said
they could go and have the house guard go fetch
them and bring them in. I mean, yeah, fetch yeah,
fetch them.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But they're not stupid. They're both attorneys.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah. Well, and the interesting thing about this one too,
is it's bipartisan. Like the eight Democrats on the committee
also voted for for.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Bill, but not for Hillary. There was like three that voted.
I thought it was funny that when it came to Bill,
like eight Democrats were like, yeah, get that guy, this dad,
and then when it came to Hillary, like three of
them are like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well there's pictures with Bill and.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, like in the water.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
And he's a there's talk that he was on the
plane went to the island. Did Hillary too or did
she just know about his travels?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I don't know. They have a weird marriage. So we
shall see. All right, that's all we have time for today,
stick around. More to come. We are going to get
into weird tie with the GLP ones, the weight loss drugs,
(29:49):
a benefit that no one saw coming. Neil Savedra and
the morning crew in for Handle this morning. Who is
getting a colonoscopy? And I say that not because it's
Bill getting a colonoscopy, but because we should all be
doing that. Isn't that right? Amy?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yes, it is so stick you haven't please go do it?

more world, Mark Dennisa. It's Neil Savager, by the way,
in the morning crew Handles getting a camera in his
bootox right now or soon. And that's okay. That was
(01:08):
strangely enough, that was will Coleshriver's only birthday wish. He said,
blew out the candles and he said, I hope Handle
gets a camera up is ours, and the little birthday
wish fairy said, you don't be true. We're gonna put
those pictures up on Instagram. He wants to. And it's
(01:29):
not the first time we've put him on shirts before.
Many many years ago, he was doing Master Serve, which
is was a re piping company. I don't know if
it's so still around. It was a copper repiping company
that it was a great company, and he was a
spokesperson for them, and they did t shirts brought to
you of his call of his pipes brought to you
(01:50):
by Master Serve.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You know, it's not a big deal to see them
because you know that everything's all clean, and it's kind
of a enough.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Thanks. Amy, I think we learned something about you. Well,
you were talking about King Queen of Clean Closets and Colon's.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Well saved my life, so I'm a big advocate.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
No, it didn't. The doctors that removed it did, That's true.
They only saw it that that actually it caused the problem,
Amy King, not exactly. All right, we discovered the problem,
all right. I love when I use really bad like
analogies and logic and then I'll just go like this,
(02:36):
I'll go, well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
They're like, no, two plus two equals four. I'm like,
we'll just have to agreed to disagree. So good morning
to everybody. Hi there, Amy King, Hi, how are you?
I'm great, that beautiful smile, always peppy. Do you ever
get mad? Mm hmmm, oh I don't want to see that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I think Gary and Shannon one time I was kind
of in a mood and I dropped the F bomb
and they were like, we've never heard that from.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You, respectfully, because we're you know, same age. Respectfully. It
would be like hearing my mom cuss. And I've heard
my mom cuss. Lovely Catholic woman.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I've never heard my mother say that word.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh I have, but it was very rare, and she
was a Catholic school girl. It's very rare, and it
would and she I think she did it because she
had so many boys and she's like, if you guys
are going to do it, then I'm going to do it.
But it did stop everything, and it didn't have the power.
She thought it made us go speaking of the F word.
(03:45):
Good morning, Kno, how you doing, buddy? Good morning? I
E one love? That's me one love baby. Hey, who's house?
Ram's house? That's right? Yeah, I know, I'm going through
all the tradition. You know what we got to do though, seeeriously,
we got to get the w. We got to take
it to the paint. We've got to give one hundred
and and we got to get that w. That's it.
(04:06):
But yeah, okay, all that, that's a wrong sport. But yes,
what do you mean football's got paid? You don't take
it his paint throughout the field, so you don't know.
But the end zone is paint the paint. No, but
I get you. I didn't say floorboards. Good job. Hey, okay,
we'll agree to disagree. Okay, we'll Cole Schreiber, happy birthday,
(04:29):
good morning, thank you. Look at it and the traffic
gods gave you nothing but smooth sailing. Well not right now,
it's kind offul Yeah, we've got issues. We've got issues.
And like I said, it's clear out side, there's no
issues on the roads. Oh right, yes, Oh, we'll agree
to disagree then, I guess will Cole Schreiber my fault.
(04:53):
Good morning morning, Nice to see you, Good to see you.
You're very lovely. Handle says a lot of crap. I
think you intimidate him. I'm going to be honest. I
think you do. I think you hold the power. Yeah,
and I think he he likes to uh to shock.
But you're he does, Yeah, he does. I wish he
(05:16):
was shocked. I wish we could do that. You know
what I can do that. I'm a maker. I could
wire this chair up. He's a peasy lemon squeeze and
then that button there that says cough. Yeah, and I
did that once. Yeah. I wanted to see what it
did to the dog because someone had one and I said,
(05:38):
I don't know that this is great, and so I
put it on and I'm like, it doesn't do anything,
and someone says, well, bark, So I barked, and you
know what, it works. Yeah. And the more you scream
ow similar to a bark, the higher it turns itself up.
(06:02):
I learned, and keeps the intensive.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
So you think it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
No, I don't know. I don't know enough about the
dog's physiology to know, with the fur and everything, how
it Yeah, you know how it worksspective Yeah. Yeah, I'm
just saying I don't know if I'd rather have that
than one of those forked choke colors. Whenever I see that,
I go this person doesn't know how to fuel their
(06:28):
doc Anyways, any who handle is getting a colonoscoped today,
and we wish the doctor well, not a cave I
want to splunk. But good for him for getting things
checked out. I like Amy King. I am a big
fan of taking care of your business. There was a
(06:48):
there was a billboard that said, gosh, every year, hundreds
of thousands of men die from stupidity because we just
are not good about taking care of ourselves and going
out there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
So coldon cancer is the number two killer.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, it's seriously, and it's treatable.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's preventable if you catch it early.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, and I had a friend die of it. A
very different line.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I have had a couple very dear friends die from.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And I did tell him before he went that I
thought it happened because he was full of crap. Oh
he's not. Now, No, he gotta chuckle out of that.
I kind of say things sometimes you think that I
don't know, I'm real. I guess let's go to the news,
(07:43):
shall we lead story?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Newsome you silly goose. So he says that the White
House blocked him from speaking at a global forum. This
is Gavin new Some Yeah, that one California governor. He
said he was blocked by the Trump administration from speaking
at the World Economic Forum in DeVos Davos, Davos, Davos, Davos, Davos, Davos, Hey, Davos,
(08:14):
Hey there in Switzerland. Still never stayed in Switzerland. Did
a little pit stop once Gorus like a Christmas card.
Apparently he had been asked to speak at the event
at US House. This is the pavilion, the American pavilion
at this annual gathering. I don't know what the political
(08:39):
stupidity is here, but I will tell you. I just
have one wish for politicians. Stop leaving your post for
global stuff. Just stop fill the potholes. Deal with it here.
Do the basic things. That's it. That's it. Everybody wants
(09:04):
to be it's it is truly Hollywood for ugly people
except you, gav But it is that the whole climbing
and wanting to be on a global platform. You are
a California leader, Come lead California, Bass. You are a
La City leader, Come serve La City. Stop thinking that
(09:28):
you have global importance when you have local needs that
you're not attending to please. For the love of all
that is glorious, down off my soak bucks, Okay, Amy
letter roll.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
The world's running dry you you, And scientists say dozens
of the world's major rivers are so heavily tapped they
often run dry before they get to the sea. More
than half of all large lakes are shrinking, and most
of the world's major underground sources are declining irreversibly, as
agriculture pumping drains water that took centuries or even thousands
(10:04):
of years to accumulate. The scientists they're calling it a
global water bankruptcy.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, we were taught though, I thought as kids that
the water is water is water, and it goes up
and then it comes back down and it goes up,
and we don't make more and we don't have less.
So are they saying that there is a super evaporation
where or that we're not managing the water we have? Well,
(10:34):
because bankruptcy sounds like to me, it's we're running out. Yeah,
we're running out. We're just gonna have to agree to disagree.
I yeah, all right. Immigration officers they have this assertion
going around because everybody on the interwebs is a legal
(10:55):
analyst when it comes to anything and everything, and they
are asserting they have sweeping power to enter homes without
a judge's warrant because it's the equivalent, from what I've heard,
of a bench warrant, because they're here illegally. So these
federal immigration officers are saying that this sweeping power to
(11:19):
forcibly enter people's home without a judge's warrant is according
to an internal Immigration and Customs enforcement memo. The Associated
Press says they got their hands on this and it
marks a sharp reversal of long standing guidance. Guidance meant
to respect constitutional limits on government searches. So then you
(11:39):
get into the Fourth Amendment and there's issues, but I'm
hearing things going back and forth about how it actually
comes down to the fact that it's it's like if
you miss a court date, you get a bench warrant,
and that happens automatically. Now keep in mind, I'm like handle,
I have no legal expertise, but that was my understanding
(12:05):
of it, and we'll have to see that play out,
all right.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Taking the law for granted. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith
is apparently going to warn Americans not to take the
rule of law for granted. He'll be making his first
public testimony before Congress about the investigations into President Trump
from his prepared statement, which was obtained by NBC News,
he says, I have seen how the rule of law
(12:28):
can erode my fears. We've seen the rule of law
function in this country for so long that many of
us have come to take it for granted. He's going
to tell that to the House Judiciary Committee. He also
plans to tell Congress that his investigation into President Trump developed,
in his words, proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump
engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn his twenty twenty
(12:51):
election loss.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, that was a horrible time. I will you know what.
I hear a lot being thrown around, and listen, call
balls and strikes men. I don't care if you've got
an R or a D. If you do something stupid,
I'm going to point it out. But one of the
things that I hate the most is no one's above
the law. When they're talking about Trump. No one is
above the law unless you're homeless or an illegal alien. Anyhow,
(13:21):
back to the News, shall we go. This surprised the
hell out of me. I don't know how you responded
to it. But the Uvaldi trial that you had that
former school police officer Adrian Gonzalez was found not guilty
on all counts, and this was this jury acquitted him
for his response to the rob Elementary shooting on May
(13:45):
of twenty twenty two. We all remember this just insane.
You had nineteen students, two teachers killed seventy seven minutes
before lawforcement mounted a counter assault. To you know, what
(14:07):
constitutes nothing less than a rampage vulgar display to me
of law enforcement and protection. I don't know how you
could see it anyway. Now, I wasn't on the jury.
I don't know if there's more details to it, but
to me, there.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Had to be something that we didn't hear. If he
was acquitted on all twenty nine charges.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
You'd think because you're you're looking at you know, different
all kinds of different charges, and just I mean each
count carried a penalty of two years in prison, and
you've got so many different things that were going on
(14:50):
at the time. The videos I remember us seeing where
they were standing around and listen, law enforcement is not
a job I want to do. I mean there was
a time when I wanted to get into executive security
for high target individual individuals. Yeah, learn something new, huh, Yeah,
(15:11):
But that's a that's a tough gig and we always
second guess them because they have to make, you know,
very quick decisions sometimes. But this one just seemed like,
you know what, that's that's when you earn that title. Man,
you go in shooting seventy seven minutes is unacceptable to me.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Well, but and I think his his lawyers had said
that they made this gentleman. And I'm not making a
judgment on I'm just saying what they're saying is that
that they made Gonzalez the police officer, the escapegoat for
everything that there were failings. I mean, like to stand
outside for seventy seven minutes. It wasn't only one person.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
No, No, I agree, I agree that they lost the board.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, so they he was saying, they basically said he
was responsible for all the things that went wrong, And
maybe that's why the Jersey just went, yeah, he's not
the only one responsible. So maybe I know, again, it
wasn't mean You're probably right.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I think it was one of those things where they
tried to lump it all onto one person and it
was a total breakdown across the board.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, a baby lion's been rescued. Okay, so yesterday I
said it on KTLA. They had video of a mountain
lion cub sitting in the middle of a road in
Castaic and just looked so adorable and peaceful.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
But it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
The little guy was injured and then he apparently was
able to run off. Wildlife officials went and searched for
him because he may have been hit by a car.
They're saying they did find him and grabbed him. I'm
calling him him. We don't know if it's a boy,
but the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has rescued
him and now he's being treated.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You know what Anne wants to do. Adopt him, hug it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Oh my gosh, you should have seen me and Ann
yesterday or Anne and I yesterday. We were like just like, oh,
the baby, it was so beautiful. No, he was too
small to eat us.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
He would eat you at well a little bit at
a time.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But then Anne was saying, I would have gone, like
I would have had to go rescue him because they
were just kind of staring at him. There was a
car there with his headlights on it because it was
discovered at like one in the morning. But would you
because they also had two other mountain lions nearby, and
they think one of them was a mother. And if
you went up to the mountain lion cub.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, but you are supposed to stay in your car,
pull over and call law enforcement when you hit a
wild animal like that.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't think the person who found him hit him.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
No, no, but I'm saying whoever did hit them shouldn't
have left the scene. Well, they should have. Unfortunately, I've
hit a deer and you pull over and coming back
from from Big Bear and the smaller ones, the young
(18:03):
ones are just stupid. They will wait until you're close
and then jump out of the trees.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh the adults do it too.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh yeah, It just it was like, you know, and
you're going, gosh, I'm very you know, try and be
reasonable about those things. But yeah, and it's horrible. And
then you got to find a signal on the mountain
to be able to call the police, and then you
got to wait for them to come. And you just know,
and you know, if you've hit something, yes you do.
(18:33):
And you know what's sad more sad is I was
going slow enough to just kind of push it into
the road, and the other drivers on the other side
of the ones that but they didn't stop Cono. Somebody
hit us up on the talk back, by the way,
(18:54):
and you can do that easily if you're listening to
us on the iHeartRadio app. And you can just see
that little red button with the icon of a mic,
and you hit that and you got like thirty seconds
and we'll see them. They come up here. A lot
of happy birthdays to you, Will a lot of shout
outs for our own will Cole Schreiber. It's his birthday
(19:16):
and people are wishing you happy birthday. Nice. It feels
good to be finally thirty nine. Yeah, you know what,
and it looks good on you, buddy. I was surprised
to hear you were thirty nine. I thought twenty nine. Tops.
Oh man, you're my favorite, top, You're my favorite. But
one guy I said that I call balls and strikes,
and I do. I do not belong to a political party.
(19:38):
They both do stupid things and they both do good things.
But I said that when the left speaks about Trump,
they're always like, no one's above the law. And then
I said, except if you're homeless or an illegal immigrant,
and he was a Latino man and got upset. Well,
I hate to break it to you. But I'm Mexican,
(20:00):
so I'm of Mexican descent. Now I'm a proud American
of Mexican descent. But I think what's going on right
now with ICE's crap not because I don't think we
need to enforce our borders. We absolutely need to enforce
our borders. Every country does. I was talking about in
(20:21):
this particular case, about Democrats saying no one's above the law,
and then them making exceptions basing on what they believe.
I am a very fond of good neighbor policies and
that Latino brothers and sisters from the South should be
able to work here, and we should be able to
do it legally. We're smarter than that. So take your
(20:44):
hostility somewhere else back to handle. On the news, shall
we go? Beating death of a Glendale firefighter's wife allegedly
with an axe horrible story. Now new details are coming
out in the rest of an off duty Glendale firefighter
believed to have done this, just just horrific. So the
(21:08):
victim identified by family members as Mayra m a y r.
That Amy King going with Meyra on that one? Not Myra?
Is it not? Mayra?
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I am not one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
M mens. She's fifty five, was described by friends as
a caring educator. She was a union representative actually with
the United Teachers of Los Angeles. But there's more and
more coming out of this story, and they found officers
responded to this fifty six hundred block and Satsuma Avenue
(21:46):
and found the victim who was dead and had been
brutally beaten. I was listening the other day to someone
in law enforcement talk about how the vast majority of
calls for local law enforcement officers are domestic, the vast majority,
(22:10):
and that there's some of the most intense calls on
how people get put back on the streets immediately, because
the victims often will just say no, nothing happened later,
just horrific Amy King.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So maybe all the bluster paid off. President Trump says
that he has reached a framework of a deal with
NATO over Greenland's future. He also pulled his threat of
slapping additional chair tariffs on eight European allies that had
been resisting his insistence that the US should own Greenland.
(22:47):
He said he would not use force to assert American ownership.
We don't know the details of the deal, but apparently
we got one, and NATO's Secretary General said, yep, we
got a deal.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
He always goes to one hundred. He goes to one hundred.
If he wants thirty, he goes to one hundred. And
then I mean it's so it's such basic negotiations, right,
ask for everything, come out huffing and puffin, and he's
good a huff and puffin, yeah, and then getting that
little piece. But we'll see how that plays out, all right,
(23:24):
sad sad story. Austin Butner, now he has been in
the news quite a bit. He is running for La mayor.
He is a candidate that wants to go up against Bass.
They have gone head to head and toe to toe
and a lot of things. One of the things he
points out is, of course, how the handling of last
(23:46):
year's Palisades fire, destroying thousands of homes, left twelve people.
Dad puts that at the foot of Bass. And it
turns out his one of his four daughters, who is
twenty two, passed away on January sixth, And this comes
from the La County Medical Examiner's website. But no reason
(24:12):
as to how we were what caused it. We know
she was in the hospital at the time and a
sad tie to this. You did have Bass come out
and say that she was profoundly saddened by the news,
and rightly so. But she has a different tie to this. Bass,
if you didn't know, had a daughter and a son
(24:33):
in law killed in two thousand and six in a
car crash on the four or five freeway, and so
they're bonded by this horrible similarity that just is I
could not imagine with a nine year old boy. To
lose a child is horrific.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Mister freeze means business. Here's a massive winter storm moving
across the US. More than two dozen states. They're going
to be affected. Their forecasters are saying damaging ice and
heavy snow is expected to hit late this week. The
blast of arctic air could set records during the typical
(25:17):
coldest time of the year. Snow's sleet, freezing rain could
stretch more than fifteen hundred miles all the way from
the plains across the south and into the Northeast. They're
expecting major travel disruction on roads and airports across the
entire footprint of the storm, and they're also saying be
ready for potentially long lasting power outages.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Okay, forty five bucks to fly without a real ID
that's starting in February. How many times, Amy, did they
ask us or tell us that we had to do
it by a certain date, certain date, certain day. I
mean seems like half a dozen times they changed.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Well, you know, initially, remember it was supposed to be
back in like twenty twenty, but then COVID hit and
so then they pushed it back, pushed it back, and
now it's you're supposed to have it, but now you
can still fly, but you have to pay a fee.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah, forty five bucks.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
To or use your passport and you don't have to
worry about it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Yeah, I just it wasn't I did it during COVID,
and it was a pain because they had all those
COVID rules to do it. And it's the worst picture
of my entire life. Really, it's horrible. Listen, I'm not
a pretty person. I get it, but this is worse.
This is just a just horrific. But now it's it's done.
(26:39):
They keep telling you you gotta do this, you gotta
do this, you got to do this, and flying is
not a right you got to have that id.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Ice is in Maine and we're not talking about the
Big storm. A new immigration enforcement operation has been launched
in Maine, according to the Apartment of Homeland Security. They
didn't say how many arrests were made during the first day,
but they dubbed the operation in Maine Catch of the Day.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh boy. Yeah, all right. So this is like the
full on reality TV that everybody wants, and that is
the Clinton's on stand. I don't know what it is
about them. I don't think Clinton was a horrible president,
I really don't, but he and his wife were shady.
(27:34):
They just have always been shady to me. Good speaker,
but shady. So lawmakers have taken the next step towards
holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress. And
now they're saying this is because they refuse to comply
with a subpoena to testify. And this all has to
do with the investigation, the congressional investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. Now,
(28:00):
remember Bill Clinton came out saying something along lines that
this these files need to come out. He's gonna be
I mean, he visited the island. I think there's so
many people on this list. Neither side wants this information out,
but he came out and he was saying, yeah, they've
(28:20):
got to release the files and all of this stuff,
but yet he doesn't want to comply with the investigation.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Seems odd and they could be in They could be
in real trouble for this. They could launch a criminal investigation.
Was talking to Steven Portnoy about this, and they said
they could go and have the house guard go fetch
them and bring them in. I mean, yeah, fetch yeah,
fetch them.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
But they're not stupid. They're both attorneys.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah. Well, and the interesting thing about this one too,
is it's bipartisan. Like the eight Democrats on the committee
also voted for for.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Bill, but not for Hillary. There was like three that voted.
I thought it was funny that when it came to Bill,
like eight Democrats were like, yeah, get that guy, this dad,
and then when it came to Hillary, like three of
them are like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well there's pictures with Bill and.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, like in the water.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
And he's a there's talk that he was on the
plane went to the island. Did Hillary too or did
she just know about his travels?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I don't know. They have a weird marriage. So we
shall see. All right, that's all we have time for today,
stick around. More to come. We are going to get
into weird tie with the GLP ones, the weight loss drugs,
(29:49):
a benefit that no one saw coming. Neil Savedra and
the morning crew in for Handle this morning. Who is
getting a colonoscopy? And I say that not because it's
Bill getting a colonoscopy, but because we should all be
doing that. Isn't that right? Amy?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yes, it is so stick you haven't please go do it?
