Good morning? Here? I am well, I saw you two
seconds ago, but now I do not. And I'm actually

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Bill has that super secret zoom meeting thing set up
for yeah, and I guess we're not allowed to use that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I don't know. Maybe we don't need it. We got
cameras in the studio, but I don't have that in
my studio. We'll just walk over there, Okay, good morning.
Just keep talking, Just keep talking for a second. Tell
us what's going on on the street.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It takes all right. So right now we are going
to be doing a little experiment here.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
This is some of the beauty of live radio radio
when we're all when we're all actually in the studio
in real life, in person.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Here we are, it's just like the old days. And hey,
you to see you in person.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Oh my god, I got some steps in.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Did you bring me any we're timing? Where's the Zelmane?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
All right?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Neil is on his way back to the studio. Wow,
let's see. And he is approaching this desk as we speak.
And this is that was Neil. That was one minute
round trip. One minute round trip. Are you okay? You
need to min to catch you don't have.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The fun guy walk in the morning. This idea was that.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I'm just glad you didn't make me do it. That
was a one minute round trip experiment. I did it,
you did it, And it was the power of being
live and in person. We all love to see each other.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, that's that's the studio. That's the You can't get
that when handles in, you know, Southern Orange.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
County, Orange County.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Listen, I'm not saying he's super south Orange County, but.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He's basically San Diego.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
No, no, it's it's beyond that. Everybody's speaking Spanish.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, so he's basically North Tijuana. So so we see him.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We see him through zoom and that's how we all
see each other and connect when Bill is here, and
that's how he's able to tease Will about what he's
wearing and and all of.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That quality radios radio.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We should film, we should film those and post those
on social media so we could see what everyone's really doing.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, no, Matthew, how are you filling in for Amy?
Not for Amy, that's Heather. You're filling in for Ann.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yes, that was weird, just like yeah, it's the seat
in the chair, just freaking me out.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So uh, already Matthew shot down my idea what I
wanted to do today as a musical. I know, I know,
Matthew right, because we've got Amy Brooker and we got.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Will you call me Amy Brooker?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
It's going to be a long day. I started out,
it's going to be rough today. Already rough today? Uh,
and then will you guys both sing?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, and I love musicals.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Looks horrified. I'm so glad with Matt's decision.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Now you'll be that, you'll be one of the townspeople
who pretty much kind of talk sings. What are we
doing here? Are you doing here? Let's go to break,
Let's go to break, Let's go to break.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Shut that guy up, Shut that guy up, shut him?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Do you not want ratings?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Or you know? Together, you and I make one full Mexican.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's true, that's true, all right, and that will be
the name of our musical. I am stalling. I just news.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I just want some joy and happiness in life. But
uh not today, Satan, I know. So let's start to
handle on the news, shall we. It's raining outside, it's raining, okay,
patter of the rain.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'll go with it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
If anytime, you know, it's just Cono and he's shaking
his little i E head. That's not how we do
it in San Bridue. Bro handle the news. Lead story,
all right, Disney's ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel's late night
(08:05):
talk show host off the air indefinitely. Representative for Kimmel
didn't respond immediately, but man, from everything I saw, this
was the last of the lastest of the lastest minute
that this went down. They were preparing. Essentially, the entertainment
(08:27):
industry is obviously on its head about this, and there's
there is a lot of reasons to this. So if
you think politically, you're like, yeah, I think there's much
more to this. We'll get into it in the seven
o'clock hour. I'll give you some of my thoughts and
some of the details of it coming up there when
you do.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm really curious to know. You know, your job is
essentially to talk about the news of the day, talk
about what's happening and from your insize, your perspective, Like,
that's literally what you do. I want to know. Do
you feel any pressure to curb what you say? You
don't have to answer now, but you can later. Do
you feel any pressure to watch what you say now? Like,
(09:08):
that's what I want to know.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I will tell you that the growing the growing team
of pro Cono voices is tough. Yeah, it's tough. I
mean you, uh, push back, you come out here, you
try and be honest. You bring your a game. Me
I bring my sea game, but it's a strong sea game.
And uh, and then you get those co nits. Is
(09:34):
that what they're calling the co Knights come out.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
The cone Heads?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Uh? What do they call it? They're calling make Cono
great again?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Anyway, Neil, we'll talk about We'll talk about that coming up.
How about one story here, Heather, please, you got it
all right?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
So really just heartbreaking story in York County, Pennsylvania, three
officers were shot and killed. Two others were seriously hurt
while they were serving a warrant or during some kind
of domestic situation. The details are still coming out about that,
and someone opened fire on them and three officers killed,
(10:14):
two others seriously heard. It happened in North Codorus Township,
which is like a pastoral area with barnes and farmland
about a ten of fifteen miles west of Philly.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah. I have big feelings when it comes to law
enforcement and anybody that would shoot at a cop, we
mean less than that. So scary situation indeed, all right.
King Charles commended Donald Trump and his personal commitment to
finding solutions to some of the world's most intractable conflicts. Yeah,
(10:50):
you could certainly say he's at least trying, He said.
The support for Ukraine against tyranny is very important. And
of course they're hosting the US President and the first lady.
But they talked about their special relationship and Donald Trump
said special doesn't begin to do it justice. The King said,
(11:10):
our people have fought and died together for values. We
hold dear.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Nice sentiment, very nice sentiment. We'll see how it goes today.
They got a lot of big talks today. All right,
The Fed is announced big news came out yesterday, a
quarter point interest rate cut. So this comes after nine
months of Trump asking for it since taking office, and
they finally did it. It's going to be cut to
(11:38):
a benchmark interest rate of a range of four percent
to four point two five percent, and they're indicating there
may be two more rate cuts coming this year. And
they say that they're doing it to help, you know,
tame inflation and juice the economy. Why did I say
it like that economy you're.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Just out of it's adding flair.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I like it had a little like Minnesota. Now, yeah, hey,
sure they're going to Julie again.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh god, oh god, I don't know.
It was Amy Brooker. All right, Amy Brooker, that's son
of a bitch. So Donald Trump is uh is in
uh in England right now and arrived at the British
Prime Minister. Is it here, starmer star love it? Like
(12:30):
a Star Wars character doesn't went to his country residence.
Doesn't that sound lovely? I want a country residence that
you could go to. But it looks like they're not
going to talk about, you know, domestic type stuff. They're
gonna look at the big picture stuff, global affairs and
that kind of thing. So it's kind of interesting. I
get that Trump is and this isn't a political statement.
(12:53):
I'm just saying as a guy, he he kind of
likes the gaudy stuff, like all that gold and things
like that, and so you think that he would meld
with pomp and circumstance. Well, but the thought of him
writing in a carriage, it just it's like, uh, a
mental image, just a weird image, like this is the
(13:14):
best you got, you know, there's no.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Engine, maybe if it's all gold.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And he's like this thing's only two horsepower. So it
just uh, my carriage has eighteen two of them are women. Uh,
it just is a weird Yeah, actual women pulled my
It's just weird. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh my god, all right, judge. Yesterday, Louisian immigration judge
ruled that pro Palestinian activists my Mood Khalil can be
deported to Syria or Algeria, saying the extension of time
requested by his attorneys was denied. This has been something
that's going back and forth for months, and officially now
(13:57):
this immigration judge has said that my Mood can be deported.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I have a hard time having feelings about this. Like,
on one side, I think, you know, if the guy
didn't do anything, you know, got to figure out how
this works. But on the other side, if he had
any ties to gangs or anything like that, good writtance.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, why take the.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Time on him at all? All right, something's going on
that is unusual. Back to handle on the news with
Heather Brooker and me. So it seems that the Oval
Office has gone down in price because gold has gone down,
and prices fell nearly one percent on Wednesday, and that's
(14:49):
been retreating. I mean it's so high that did it
really fall? Is you know, one percent? Really that big
of a fall when you think that it's it was
at thirty seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
And now it's thirty six fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I think we're going to be fine, and I think
it's a good bet. I was telling uh Matt off
the air that I do have some gold. It's not
sitting around the house because that's ridiculous because you can
have gold like bricks sent to your house.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
See that was my question about this. And when you
say you invest in gold and you have gold, and
John Cobet talks about this too, do you actually have
physical gold or some people?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, like but you put it? What's that?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Or like you have like is it like something you're
investing in the stocks like I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yes, you can do both. You can invest in it
like a stock. Uh, and then you're not holding onto anything,
right Cono, I know Cono's big investments.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
And that's great. Well Costco. Remember was selling the bricks
of gold.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah. Yeah, and you can get them and you put
them in a safety safety deposit box at you know,
a bank, the same way you would other riches. Okay,
I don't have that kind of riches where I have
like a I'll knock it off.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Coming of gold. It just feels very old timy, like
what are we prospectors? Like why do we need all
this gold?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Let me whittle you off a piece of gold to
pay for that pout. Yeah, it's not like that, but
it does. I mean it. When I got mine, it
was like a thousand dollars or something, maybe even less,
might have been eight hundred.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
And now you've made a couple thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, So I mean, not like I'm going to sell
it off or anything, but bitch, pretty crazy, huh.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
All right, So Trump says he's a designating Antifa as
a terrorist organization.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Good.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
He says that he made this announcement on a truth
social from the UK today, and it wasn't immediately clear
what caused him to make this announcement, but what he
said was, I'm designating Antifa, a sick, dangerous, radical left disaster,
as a major terrorist organization, and I will strongly be
recommending that those funding Antifa be thoroughly investigated with the
(17:00):
legal standards and practices. Thank you for attention to this matter.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
See, I don't see them as left or right. I
see them as anarchists.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Just radicals.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well because ultimately I think they made a mess of
things like Black Lives Matter marches and things like that too,
So I think they're I think they're just highly problematic
across the board extremists and don't do anything of any value,
and I think there are legitimate domestic terrorists that need
(17:34):
to be called out for that stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I've never met anyone in Antifa or who identifies as Antifa.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Well, that's the whole point. They wear masks. They wear masks,
and I love that. It's like federal agents can't wear masks,
but nobody has a problem with Antifa running around, you know,
covered head to toe.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I've never seen Antifa running around covered head to toe.
That's my thing is it's like I've never only at
marches and marches. Yeah, it's only it's only too cause
disruption at a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
They're not like, oh god, you know Carrie from accounting Antifa,
you know, it's like, it's not like that. They don't
want to be known. Yeah, it's like those damn hackers
at Anonymous. I've never met one.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You've never seen anybody with a bad to pay either,
unless it's a bad to pay, right, If it's a
good to pay, you don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
You have no idea, although I do have some suspicions.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Do you know this is the skin is all real,
I don't have hair underneath this bold captain all right.
Jd Vance, Vice president. He said yesterday that he thinks
the left in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination should
be I should have consequences to criticism that they levied
(18:52):
against Charlie Kirk or the celebration, and he says it
should not be protected form of speech for being a
disgusting person that scares the crap out of me. Now,
I think there can be consequences, like at your workplace. Yeah,
I mean if your workplace says listen, we don't want
(19:12):
you to bring heat here. This is a place of business.
And if someone sees or it causes disruption to the business, yeah,
knock yourself out. Of course. There. Freedom of speech does
not cover consequences. It just means the government can't come
up or shouldn't be able to come up and silence you.
But doesn't mean there isn't consequences for your speech. You know,
(19:36):
there's been tons of people that have been one the
word I'm looking for here at the station, fired, not fired,
There have been suspended, thank you have been suspended. I've
been suspended. So it was part of my partner said something.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And I was being part of it, roped in it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
No, I just said if he's being censured or whatever,
then I will too. Just solidarity there. That was nice, partners,
That's why I work alone.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Well, I mean you got Bill and he says a
lot of crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Oh, I mean right now, no second, but you can't
be a second banana without a first one.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, all right, So South Park has delayed another episode,
but it's not for any particular dramatic reasons. Trey Parker
and Matt Stone said, well, apparently when you do everything
at the last minute, sometimes you don't get it done.
So I think they're trying to make their episodes really
timely with what's happening in the news, because the past
(20:46):
few episodes have been pretty somewhat timely, and it does
take a lot of time to create an animated series,
so I think maybe they just got a little bit behind.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't know any animated series that is up to
date as their program right, and it really is because
of the type. I mean, originally it was all done
with paper cutouts, but now you know there's technology to
take that look and be able to produce it much
much more quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I just watched their Casabanita documentary about how they built
the Casabanita in Colorado. Have you did you see that? No,
they are Apparently they were obsessed with Casabanita growing up,
and the Casabanita, the original one in Colorado. I had
one in Tulsa where I'm from, too, but the original
one in Colorado closed down and they bought it. It
(21:37):
is like a hotel. It's like a mashup of a
Mexican food restaurant and like an amusement park and a
little bit of like a carnival. That's the only way
how to describe it. So there's like puppet shows and
live actors. There's divers that dive into the pool in
the middle of the right.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I know you're saying words, but all I hear is magic, magic, magic, wonderfulness. Magic.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Isn't that amazing? You have to watch this documentary. I
would love to know what you think about Cassabanita.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I well, I want to live there now.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, And they have rebuilt Casabanita after it closed. They
hired a bunch of people and this was there basically
reinvigorating of this restaurant that they loved from their childhood.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Holy smokes.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And it's a good, good story.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Southern California Edison. So basically, they are offering up money
to the eaten fire victim victims, hundreds of thousands of
dollars as a matter of fact, but they are not
accepting responsibility for that blaze and the devastation that it brought.
So the way it breaks down is homeowners who lost
(22:43):
the fifteen one hundred square foot property could receive nine
hundred thousand to rebuild, two hundred thousand for settling directly
with the utility company, and an additional amount for pain
and suffering, which basically comes out to one hundred thousand
for each adult and fifty thousand for each child. But
(23:06):
they haven't accepted responsibility for starting it. Well, I mean,
the money is what's important. The courts can figure that
other stuff out, but make sure these people are able
to rebuild their homes.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Get the money that they need for sure. The Trump
administration is going to make citizenship a little bit harder
with a revised Civics test. They say they're expanding the
test that citizens must pass in order to ensure traditional
American values and culture are protected. The changes would expand
(23:43):
the number of questions immigrants need to be prepared to
answer and increase the number of questions they must answer
correctly in order to pass. It's going to largely revert
the test to a longer version and harder version that
was first introduced in twenty twenty during President Trump's first term.
Immigration advocates say that changes add unnecessary barriers to citizenship
(24:03):
for people who are following the law and contributing to
the country. Do you remember like some of the have
you ever heard of some of the questions on the test?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
They're like most Americans couldn't pass them as they were, right. No,
I've had friends that have become citizens and the stuff
that they they know more about America than Americans do.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah. I remember thinking, oh, this test will be these
questions are super easy, you know, But I was like, oh,
I need to brush up on my Civics CIVICX.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Right. The new one's going to be Uh. Is Trump
the best? The best president ever? Yes or no? True
or false? I just think, Uh, I don't know what
to think about that. It ultimately comes down to I
think it was fine as it was, uh, and.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Like how intricate is it going to be? I don't think,
you know, we'll see. I guess we'll see.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Okay, four House Republicans voted alongside by partisan lines. There
a little bit just yesterday with a resolution to censure representative.
Is it how do you pronounce her first name? I
don't say her name much, is it ilan Omar. I'm
(25:22):
not a fan.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I don't know the name.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I'm not a fan. I don't know. You know, she
bothers me. She seems smug and I don't know. So
I'm not a fan of hers. I don't use her
name often. But of her comments about Charlie Cook Kirk.
Now you've got four House Republicans voting with Democrats to
table the legislation, so they're basically blocking it from receiving
(25:48):
its own House white vote. But some of the people,
you know, Tom mcclint dock of a Republican out of California.
I've talked to him many times in the past, is
a pretty level headed guy, reasonable guy, and he's doing
it based on the First Amendment. I think, in politics
especially that First Amendment has to be priority one, and
(26:10):
censuring somebody like that unless it's absolutely egregious, And I
guess that depends where you land politically. As to what's
egregious or not. But I think we have to be
careful with those things in that context.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, I think it's ilan Omar. I just looked at
up on all right. Is Han, former Bay Area News anchor,
was arrested this week on suspicion of assaulting his daughter. Apparently,
he posted something on Facebook about it, but has since
removed the post. Frank Somerville's, sixty seven year old former
anchor of KTVU in Oakland, said that his daughter shut
(26:46):
up at his house. She was experiencing a marijuana withdrawal
and was demanding money, he said. He said he kept
trying to tell her to calm down, but she wouldn't.
He also said, I love my daughter more than anything
in the world. It would never deliberately try to hurt her.
But bad things happen in battle, and this sounds like
just a really deeply personal and sad situation here. I
(27:06):
can't imagine any parent or child in this type of situation.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, that's horrific. Lastly, HBO Max will commemorate the second
anniversary of the Hamas October seventh terrorist attacks on Israel,
and they're going to have a scripted series called One
Day in October limited series based on those real and
horrific attacks in twenty twenty three, a massacre of more
(27:33):
than twelve hundred Israeli's hundreds of others being taken hostage.
I wonder how this is going to go over with
the pro Palestinian folks.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Not well unless, I mean, it depends on how unbiased
it is. But I don't know. I can't imagine it's.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Going to be biased. I mean, it happened.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You know. People will take any story and any nugget
of anything and say, oh, you're not on my side,
You're on their side, and they hear people hear what
they want to hear because of their own internal admiases.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
A fan of net and Yahoo, but I am very
pro Israel in most circumstances. And I will tell you
if Hamas did not carry out those attacks on October seventh,
there would be no war.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Going on right now, absolutely, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And if you want to do numbers, oh, sixty four
thousand people died, babies, women, all of this, I get that. Well.
About twenty four hundred Americans died in the bombing of
Pearl Harbor, and the numbers some of the highest numbers
of our bombings. The atomic bomb is almost a quarter
of a million people. So if you want to do
(28:44):
tit for tat and say, oh, it's horrible, because sixty
four thousand Gaussians Palestinians died because of twelve hundred and change,
we had zero problem leveling places. And I have no
problem with that. As ugly as it is, It's like
(29:06):
that's how you Sometimes you hit as hard as you
can to save more issues down the line. And I
think that protected Americans set us as a place not
to f with and that ultimately saves lives, but more
as ugly men. Alrighty, this is KFI heard everywhere on
(29:26):
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my
Show Monday through Friday six am to nine am, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty and now Handle on the news. Ladies
and gentlemen, here's not Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
That's so bespoke, so customized. I feel here's someone other
than Bill Handle. Hey, everybody, that's me. Good Thursday morning
to you. Neil Sevadra and the morning crew with you today.
A slight change in the batting lineup. Amy King is out,
Heather Brooker is with us. Always nice to have you, Heather.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I'm good, It's always nice to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
H You're really pleasant, and it's weird to have such
a pleasure. I mean, Amy's lovely and pleasant as well.
But you come out with some horrible news and kind
to say it with smile.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Is it jarring?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It is jarring.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
People are like, wait, what you're like?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Good morning, everybody. Don't get bitten by anything or you'll die.
Back to you in the studio.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Go outside. It's wet and sticky and there's crashes everywhere.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Uh uh yeah, we'll be talking about the weather. I
love some weather, but nothing comes with good news anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
No, did you go outside today and you were like,
uh yeah, well because it was still warm yeah, we're
not used to it. We're too spoiled here in southern
California with that dry heat.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You know that, that like you get when you shower
on a hot day and then you go out and
you got the you got the clean sweats. Yes, that's the.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yes, like I'm still wet.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The worst CONO. How you doing? Hands on?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Neil? What's up? Buddy boy? What's up my good friend? Yeah?
You look good, you look strong, you as well. People
don't understand. You know that we we do have friendships.
They're few and far between and radio, but we do
have friendships.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Isn't one of them?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
No, don't, don't. Let's continue to perpetuate that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
You mean to me.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's fine. Listen, listeners here, look at now you're okay,
I see what's going on. Okay, that's all right.

thank you. You never cried a day in your life.
Maybe when you're when your babies were born. No, I
did not, really, Yeah, no, I knew it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
See now, it just it just shifted back to me.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
No soul.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, Oh I'm a crier. I still cry, Like the
first time I talked about my son calling me daddy. Oh,
it gets me every time it's mister to my kids. Yeah,
don't they? Oh my god. I want to go look
at our digital numbers right now and see yours going
down like Papa.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's mister.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Wow. I've never seen people shift. It's all team kno
is going to team Neil right now. I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Uh, Willie, are you around, Bob?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Good morning? Here? I am well, I saw you two
seconds ago, but now I do not. And I'm actually
filling the handle seats, so apparently I if I don't
see you, you don't exist.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Bill has that super secret zoom meeting thing set up
for yeah, and I guess we're not allowed to use that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I don't know. Maybe we don't need it. We got
cameras in the studio, but I don't have that in
my studio. We'll just walk over there, Okay, good morning.
Just keep talking, Just keep talking for a second. Tell
us what's going on on the street.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It takes all right. So right now we are going
to be doing a little experiment here.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
This is some of the beauty of live radio radio
when we're all when we're all actually in the studio
in real life, in person.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Here we are, it's just like the old days. And hey,
you to see you in person.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Oh my god, I got some steps in.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Did you bring me any we're timing? Where's the Zelmane?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
All right?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Neil is on his way back to the studio. Wow,
let's see. And he is approaching this desk as we speak.
And this is that was Neil. That was one minute
round trip. One minute round trip. Are you okay? You
need to min to catch you don't have.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The fun guy walk in the morning. This idea was that.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I'm just glad you didn't make me do it. That
was a one minute round trip experiment. I did it,
you did it, And it was the power of being
live and in person. We all love to see each other.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, that's that's the studio. That's the You can't get
that when handles in, you know, Southern Orange.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
County, Orange County.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Listen, I'm not saying he's super south Orange County, but.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He's basically San Diego.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
No, no, it's it's beyond that. Everybody's speaking Spanish.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, so he's basically North Tijuana. So so we see him.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We see him through zoom and that's how we all
see each other and connect when Bill is here, and
that's how he's able to tease Will about what he's
wearing and and all of.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
That quality radios radio.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We should film, we should film those and post those
on social media so we could see what everyone's really doing.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
No, no, Matthew, how are you filling in for Amy?
Not for Amy, that's Heather. You're filling in for Ann.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yes, that was weird, just like yeah, it's the seat
in the chair, just freaking me out.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
So uh, already Matthew shot down my idea what I
wanted to do today as a musical. I know, I know,
Matthew right, because we've got Amy Brooker and we got.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Will you call me Amy Brooker?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
It's going to be a long day. I started out,
it's going to be rough today. Already rough today? Uh,
and then will you guys both sing?
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, and I love musicals.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Looks horrified. I'm so glad with Matt's decision.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Now you'll be that, you'll be one of the townspeople
who pretty much kind of talk sings. What are we
doing here? Are you doing here? Let's go to break,
Let's go to break, Let's go to break.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Shut that guy up, Shut that guy up, shut him?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Do you not want ratings?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Or you know? Together, you and I make one full Mexican.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's true, that's true, all right, and that will be
the name of our musical. I am stalling. I just news.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I just want some joy and happiness in life. But
uh not today, Satan, I know. So let's start to
handle on the news, shall we. It's raining outside, it's raining, okay,
patter of the rain.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I'll go with it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
If anytime, you know, it's just Cono and he's shaking
his little i E head. That's not how we do
it in San Bridue. Bro handle the news. Lead story,
all right, Disney's ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel's late night
(08:05):
talk show host off the air indefinitely. Representative for Kimmel
didn't respond immediately, but man, from everything I saw, this
was the last of the lastest of the lastest minute
that this went down. They were preparing. Essentially, the entertainment
(08:27):
industry is obviously on its head about this, and there's
there is a lot of reasons to this. So if
you think politically, you're like, yeah, I think there's much
more to this. We'll get into it in the seven
o'clock hour. I'll give you some of my thoughts and
some of the details of it coming up there when
you do.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I'm really curious to know. You know, your job is
essentially to talk about the news of the day, talk
about what's happening and from your insize, your perspective, Like,
that's literally what you do. I want to know. Do
you feel any pressure to curb what you say? You
don't have to answer now, but you can later. Do
you feel any pressure to watch what you say now? Like,
(09:08):
that's what I want to know.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I will tell you that the growing the growing team
of pro Cono voices is tough. Yeah, it's tough. I
mean you, uh, push back, you come out here, you
try and be honest. You bring your a game. Me
I bring my sea game, but it's a strong sea game.
And uh, and then you get those co nits. Is
(09:34):
that what they're calling the co Knights come out.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
The cone Heads?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Uh? What do they call it? They're calling make Cono
great again?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Oh wow?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Anyway, Neil, we'll talk about We'll talk about that coming up.
How about one story here, Heather, please, you got it
all right?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
So really just heartbreaking story in York County, Pennsylvania, three
officers were shot and killed. Two others were seriously hurt
while they were serving a warrant or during some kind
of domestic situation. The details are still coming out about that,
and someone opened fire on them and three officers killed,
(10:14):
two others seriously heard. It happened in North Codorus Township,
which is like a pastoral area with barnes and farmland
about a ten of fifteen miles west of Philly.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah. I have big feelings when it comes to law
enforcement and anybody that would shoot at a cop, we
mean less than that. So scary situation indeed, all right.
King Charles commended Donald Trump and his personal commitment to
finding solutions to some of the world's most intractable conflicts. Yeah,
(10:50):
you could certainly say he's at least trying, He said.
The support for Ukraine against tyranny is very important. And
of course they're hosting the US President and the first lady.
But they talked about their special relationship and Donald Trump
said special doesn't begin to do it justice. The King said,
(11:10):
our people have fought and died together for values. We
hold dear.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Nice sentiment, very nice sentiment. We'll see how it goes today.
They got a lot of big talks today. All right,
The Fed is announced big news came out yesterday, a
quarter point interest rate cut. So this comes after nine
months of Trump asking for it since taking office, and
they finally did it. It's going to be cut to
(11:38):
a benchmark interest rate of a range of four percent
to four point two five percent, and they're indicating there
may be two more rate cuts coming this year. And
they say that they're doing it to help, you know,
tame inflation and juice the economy. Why did I say
it like that economy you're.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Just out of it's adding flair.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I like it had a little like Minnesota. Now, yeah, hey,
sure they're going to Julie again.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh god, oh god, I don't know.
It was Amy Brooker. All right, Amy Brooker, that's son
of a bitch. So Donald Trump is uh is in
uh in England right now and arrived at the British
Prime Minister. Is it here, starmer star love it? Like
(12:30):
a Star Wars character doesn't went to his country residence.
Doesn't that sound lovely? I want a country residence that
you could go to. But it looks like they're not
going to talk about, you know, domestic type stuff. They're
gonna look at the big picture stuff, global affairs and
that kind of thing. So it's kind of interesting. I
get that Trump is and this isn't a political statement.
(12:53):
I'm just saying as a guy, he he kind of
likes the gaudy stuff, like all that gold and things
like that, and so you think that he would meld
with pomp and circumstance. Well, but the thought of him
writing in a carriage, it just it's like, uh, a
mental image, just a weird image, like this is the
(13:14):
best you got, you know, there's no.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Engine, maybe if it's all gold.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
And he's like this thing's only two horsepower. So it
just uh, my carriage has eighteen two of them are women. Uh,
it just is a weird Yeah, actual women pulled my
It's just weird. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh my god, all right, judge. Yesterday, Louisian immigration judge
ruled that pro Palestinian activists my Mood Khalil can be
deported to Syria or Algeria, saying the extension of time
requested by his attorneys was denied. This has been something
that's going back and forth for months, and officially now
(13:57):
this immigration judge has said that my Mood can be deported.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I have a hard time having feelings about this. Like,
on one side, I think, you know, if the guy
didn't do anything, you know, got to figure out how
this works. But on the other side, if he had
any ties to gangs or anything like that, good writtance.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, why take the.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Time on him at all? All right, something's going on
that is unusual. Back to handle on the news with
Heather Brooker and me. So it seems that the Oval
Office has gone down in price because gold has gone down,
and prices fell nearly one percent on Wednesday, and that's
(14:49):
been retreating. I mean it's so high that did it
really fall? Is you know, one percent? Really that big
of a fall when you think that it's it was
at thirty seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
And now it's thirty six fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I think we're going to be fine, and I think
it's a good bet. I was telling uh Matt off
the air that I do have some gold. It's not
sitting around the house because that's ridiculous because you can
have gold like bricks sent to your house.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
See that was my question about this. And when you
say you invest in gold and you have gold, and
John Cobet talks about this too, do you actually have
physical gold or some people?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, like but you put it? What's that?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Or like you have like is it like something you're
investing in the stocks like I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yes, you can do both. You can invest in it
like a stock. Uh, and then you're not holding onto anything,
right Cono, I know Cono's big investments.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
And that's great. Well Costco. Remember was selling the bricks
of gold.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah. Yeah, and you can get them and you put
them in a safety safety deposit box at you know,
a bank, the same way you would other riches. Okay,
I don't have that kind of riches where I have
like a I'll knock it off.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Coming of gold. It just feels very old timy, like
what are we prospectors? Like why do we need all
this gold?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Let me whittle you off a piece of gold to
pay for that pout. Yeah, it's not like that, but
it does. I mean it. When I got mine, it
was like a thousand dollars or something, maybe even less,
might have been eight hundred.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
And now you've made a couple thousand.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, So I mean, not like I'm going to sell
it off or anything, but bitch, pretty crazy, huh.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
All right, So Trump says he's a designating Antifa as
a terrorist organization.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Good.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
He says that he made this announcement on a truth
social from the UK today, and it wasn't immediately clear
what caused him to make this announcement, but what he
said was, I'm designating Antifa, a sick, dangerous, radical left disaster,
as a major terrorist organization, and I will strongly be
recommending that those funding Antifa be thoroughly investigated with the
(17:00):
legal standards and practices. Thank you for attention to this matter.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
See, I don't see them as left or right. I
see them as anarchists.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Just radicals.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Well because ultimately I think they made a mess of
things like Black Lives Matter marches and things like that too,
So I think they're I think they're just highly problematic
across the board extremists and don't do anything of any value,
and I think there are legitimate domestic terrorists that need
(17:34):
to be called out for that stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I've never met anyone in Antifa or who identifies as Antifa.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Well, that's the whole point. They wear masks. They wear masks,
and I love that. It's like federal agents can't wear masks,
but nobody has a problem with Antifa running around, you know,
covered head to toe.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I've never seen Antifa running around covered head to toe.
That's my thing is it's like I've never only at
marches and marches. Yeah, it's only it's only too cause
disruption at a thing.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
They're not like, oh god, you know Carrie from accounting Antifa,
you know, it's like, it's not like that. They don't
want to be known. Yeah, it's like those damn hackers
at Anonymous. I've never met one.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You've never seen anybody with a bad to pay either,
unless it's a bad to pay, right, If it's a
good to pay, you don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
You have no idea, although I do have some suspicions.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Do you know this is the skin is all real,
I don't have hair underneath this bold captain all right.
Jd Vance, Vice president. He said yesterday that he thinks
the left in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination should
be I should have consequences to criticism that they levied
(18:52):
against Charlie Kirk or the celebration, and he says it
should not be protected form of speech for being a
disgusting person that scares the crap out of me. Now,
I think there can be consequences, like at your workplace. Yeah,
I mean if your workplace says listen, we don't want
(19:12):
you to bring heat here. This is a place of business.
And if someone sees or it causes disruption to the business, yeah,
knock yourself out. Of course. There. Freedom of speech does
not cover consequences. It just means the government can't come
up or shouldn't be able to come up and silence you.
But doesn't mean there isn't consequences for your speech. You know,
(19:36):
there's been tons of people that have been one the
word I'm looking for here at the station, fired, not fired,
There have been suspended, thank you have been suspended. I've
been suspended. So it was part of my partner said something.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
And I was being part of it, roped in it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
No, I just said if he's being censured or whatever,
then I will too. Just solidarity there. That was nice, partners,
That's why I work alone.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Well, I mean you got Bill and he says a
lot of crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Oh, I mean right now, no second, but you can't
be a second banana without a first one.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Yeah, all right, So South Park has delayed another episode,
but it's not for any particular dramatic reasons. Trey Parker
and Matt Stone said, well, apparently when you do everything
at the last minute, sometimes you don't get it done.
So I think they're trying to make their episodes really
timely with what's happening in the news, because the past
(20:46):
few episodes have been pretty somewhat timely, and it does
take a lot of time to create an animated series,
so I think maybe they just got a little bit behind.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't know any animated series that is up to
date as their program right, and it really is because
of the type. I mean, originally it was all done
with paper cutouts, but now you know there's technology to
take that look and be able to produce it much
much more quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I just watched their Casabanita documentary about how they built
the Casabanita in Colorado. Have you did you see that? No,
they are Apparently they were obsessed with Casabanita growing up,
and the Casabanita, the original one in Colorado. I had
one in Tulsa where I'm from, too, but the original
one in Colorado closed down and they bought it. It
(21:37):
is like a hotel. It's like a mashup of a
Mexican food restaurant and like an amusement park and a
little bit of like a carnival. That's the only way
how to describe it. So there's like puppet shows and
live actors. There's divers that dive into the pool in
the middle of the right.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I know you're saying words, but all I hear is magic, magic, magic, wonderfulness. Magic.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Isn't that amazing? You have to watch this documentary. I
would love to know what you think about Cassabanita.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I well, I want to live there now.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, And they have rebuilt Casabanita after it closed. They
hired a bunch of people and this was there basically
reinvigorating of this restaurant that they loved from their childhood.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Holy smokes.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And it's a good, good story.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Southern California Edison. So basically, they are offering up money
to the eaten fire victim victims, hundreds of thousands of
dollars as a matter of fact, but they are not
accepting responsibility for that blaze and the devastation that it brought.
So the way it breaks down is homeowners who lost
(22:43):
the fifteen one hundred square foot property could receive nine
hundred thousand to rebuild, two hundred thousand for settling directly
with the utility company, and an additional amount for pain
and suffering, which basically comes out to one hundred thousand
for each adult and fifty thousand for each child. But
(23:06):
they haven't accepted responsibility for starting it. Well, I mean,
the money is what's important. The courts can figure that
other stuff out, but make sure these people are able
to rebuild their homes.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Get the money that they need for sure. The Trump
administration is going to make citizenship a little bit harder
with a revised Civics test. They say they're expanding the
test that citizens must pass in order to ensure traditional
American values and culture are protected. The changes would expand
(23:43):
the number of questions immigrants need to be prepared to
answer and increase the number of questions they must answer
correctly in order to pass. It's going to largely revert
the test to a longer version and harder version that
was first introduced in twenty twenty during President Trump's first term.
Immigration advocates say that changes add unnecessary barriers to citizenship
(24:03):
for people who are following the law and contributing to
the country. Do you remember like some of the have
you ever heard of some of the questions on the test?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
They're like most Americans couldn't pass them as they were, right. No,
I've had friends that have become citizens and the stuff
that they they know more about America than Americans do.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah. I remember thinking, oh, this test will be these
questions are super easy, you know, But I was like, oh,
I need to brush up on my Civics CIVICX.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Right. The new one's going to be Uh. Is Trump
the best? The best president ever? Yes or no? True
or false? I just think, Uh, I don't know what
to think about that. It ultimately comes down to I
think it was fine as it was, uh, and.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Like how intricate is it going to be? I don't think,
you know, we'll see. I guess we'll see.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Okay, four House Republicans voted alongside by partisan lines. There
a little bit just yesterday with a resolution to censure representative.
Is it how do you pronounce her first name? I
don't say her name much, is it ilan Omar. I'm
(25:22):
not a fan.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I don't know the name.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I'm not a fan. I don't know. You know, she
bothers me. She seems smug and I don't know. So
I'm not a fan of hers. I don't use her
name often. But of her comments about Charlie Cook Kirk.
Now you've got four House Republicans voting with Democrats to
table the legislation, so they're basically blocking it from receiving
(25:48):
its own House white vote. But some of the people,
you know, Tom mcclint dock of a Republican out of California.
I've talked to him many times in the past, is
a pretty level headed guy, reasonable guy, and he's doing
it based on the First Amendment. I think, in politics
especially that First Amendment has to be priority one, and
(26:10):
censuring somebody like that unless it's absolutely egregious, And I
guess that depends where you land politically. As to what's
egregious or not. But I think we have to be
careful with those things in that context.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yeah, I think it's ilan Omar. I just looked at
up on all right. Is Han, former Bay Area News anchor,
was arrested this week on suspicion of assaulting his daughter. Apparently,
he posted something on Facebook about it, but has since
removed the post. Frank Somerville's, sixty seven year old former
anchor of KTVU in Oakland, said that his daughter shut
(26:46):
up at his house. She was experiencing a marijuana withdrawal
and was demanding money, he said. He said he kept
trying to tell her to calm down, but she wouldn't.
He also said, I love my daughter more than anything
in the world. It would never deliberately try to hurt her.
But bad things happen in battle, and this sounds like
just a really deeply personal and sad situation here. I
(27:06):
can't imagine any parent or child in this type of situation.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, that's horrific. Lastly, HBO Max will commemorate the second
anniversary of the Hamas October seventh terrorist attacks on Israel,
and they're going to have a scripted series called One
Day in October limited series based on those real and
horrific attacks in twenty twenty three, a massacre of more
(27:33):
than twelve hundred Israeli's hundreds of others being taken hostage.
I wonder how this is going to go over with
the pro Palestinian folks.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Not well unless, I mean, it depends on how unbiased
it is. But I don't know. I can't imagine it's.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Going to be biased. I mean, it happened.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You know. People will take any story and any nugget
of anything and say, oh, you're not on my side,
You're on their side, and they hear people hear what
they want to hear because of their own internal admiases.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
A fan of net and Yahoo, but I am very
pro Israel in most circumstances. And I will tell you
if Hamas did not carry out those attacks on October seventh,
there would be no war.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Going on right now, absolutely, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
And if you want to do numbers, oh, sixty four
thousand people died, babies, women, all of this, I get that. Well.
About twenty four hundred Americans died in the bombing of
Pearl Harbor, and the numbers some of the highest numbers
of our bombings. The atomic bomb is almost a quarter
of a million people. So if you want to do
(28:44):
tit for tat and say, oh, it's horrible, because sixty
four thousand Gaussians Palestinians died because of twelve hundred and change,
we had zero problem leveling places. And I have no
problem with that. As ugly as it is, It's like
(29:06):
that's how you Sometimes you hit as hard as you
can to save more issues down the line. And I
think that protected Americans set us as a place not
to f with and that ultimately saves lives, but more
as ugly men. Alrighty, this is KFI heard everywhere on
