Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF I
Speaker 1: am six forty.
Speaker 2: Digital amnesia.
Speaker 3: We forget things as soon as we're told them because
Speaker 3: all we do is look them up. All we do
Speaker 3: is put in search words, like I just did with
Speaker 3: the pope Pope Joan, a woman pope. And do they
Speaker 3: now check that it's a man who is pope by checking.
Speaker 2: Balls his balls?
Speaker 3: Yes, but all you have to do is look it up,
Speaker 3: which I did, balls, Pope, Pope Joan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all there.
Speaker 1: And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Speaker 1: Bill Handleman.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 3: Now my studio mic is working. Sorry about that, all right,
Speaker 3: let me do that again. Good morning everybody. This one
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give myself a pass on because I'm feeling
Speaker 3: like utter crap, fighting a cold, and still being the trooper.
Speaker 2: That I am. You can make a lot of fun
Speaker 2: of me, which of course you do.
Speaker 3: But one of the things about my work act think
Speaker 3: unless I am bleeding out, I'm behind the mic, and
Speaker 3: believe me, I've sounded like utter crap before.
Speaker 4: Oh no, we have a saying, unless you're bleeding out
Speaker 4: or moving to Nevada, you're here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Good well put, by the way, that promo about Pope
Speaker 3: Joan is true.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 3: Remember I told you about Pope Joon. You guys didn't
Speaker 3: believe me, and I said, look it up, and there
Speaker 3: it is Pope Joan, a woman pope, which is why
Speaker 3: they check the Pope four balls talking about the Pope.
Speaker 3: He's taken a turn for the worst.
Speaker 5: I understand, Amy, is that what we're hearing.
Speaker 6: I'm going to go and investigate that because what we
Speaker 6: had heard that he was he was doing a little
Speaker 6: bit better.
Speaker 2: That was as of yesterday.
Speaker 7: That was this morning.
Speaker 5: So yeah, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know where I heard that. Maybe I didn't.
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll go back to the days when John Paul
Speaker 3: the Second was people around the world were watching him
Speaker 3: die and there was no question he was dying.
Speaker 5: You remember in the background Pope his dad, Pope his dad.
Speaker 3: And that was before he died, and it was a
Speaker 3: huge uproar because he was thirty seconds from dying at
Speaker 3: that point, and it was just how dare that you
Speaker 3: announced that before?
Speaker 5: There's an official that it was a news outlet.
Speaker 2: It was I think it was CNN. I think it
Speaker 2: was a reporter on CNN.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just double checked, and everything that we're seeing
Speaker 6: is that he had another RESTful evening and he's resuming
Speaker 6: some of his duties. And they're saying that kidney failure
Speaker 6: wasn't really a cause for concern.
Speaker 2: Mm ask Neil, I beg to differ. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: So Amy is back.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Amy, good morning, and Neil.
Speaker 2: There you are. Good morning, Willie wolf.
Speaker 3: Cono Bill and the A team is back and will

Speaker 2: I'm getting a tablet, so I'll be right. Oh are
Speaker 2: you okay?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so to sea and are you paying for the tablet?
Speaker 2: It's only fifty bucks. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: You should it's for work, and you submit it okay,
Speaker 3: and then it goes up the chain and then it
Speaker 3: goes to Bob Pittman, who is the CEO of iHeart,
Speaker 3: and then he signs off on it yes.
Speaker 2: Or no, so no, you know, for fifty bucks. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 5: In reality, Pittman was extraordinarily.
Speaker 3: Gracious to me when I was honored enough and for
Speaker 3: many people lucky enough to be inducted in the Radio
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame, and he really went.
Speaker 2: To the table. He treated me very very well on
Speaker 2: that one. Okay, did you get a tablet for fifty bucks?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, he actually loser. You ready for this.
Speaker 5: He actually put me out of corporate jet to.
Speaker 2: Go to Chicago. I know you were kind enough to
Speaker 2: take me with you. Yeah, it was pretty neat. It
Speaker 2: was weird to carry all those bags, but you know.
Speaker 3: And you know, we stayed. A whole bunch of us
Speaker 3: went the Morning crew and my family, et cetera. And
Speaker 3: we stayed at a Trump, the Trump Hotel in Chicago.
Speaker 3: And I've said this before. Let me tell you, you
Speaker 3: can say whatever you want politically about Donald Trump. The
Speaker 3: man knows how to run a hotel. I mean it
Speaker 3: was one of the best hotel experiences I have had.
Speaker 3: And this his organization, the Trump Hotel, I mean phenomenal management,
Speaker 3: the way they ran out hotel.
Speaker 4: I mean, pardon that whole trip. That whole trip was fun. Yeah,
Speaker 4: dinner was.
Speaker 3: I didn't even I couldn't imagine how much a dinner
Speaker 3: could cost for twenty five people.
Speaker 2: It was, and I threw it and it was I
Speaker 2: didn't I didn't spend a dime. It was. I thought
Speaker 2: it was nice.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're also talking this morning about Michael Monks, who
Speaker 3: is a good part of a major part of the
Speaker 3: KFI news team. About what nine and Michael I just
Speaker 3: found out and told me that the guy makes phenomenal
Speaker 3: ice cream. I mean, when one class should should be
Speaker 3: sold ice cream.
Speaker 7: He brought in samples yesterday and they were delicious.
Speaker 2: Oh I was here. What kind of ice cream? There
Speaker 2: was a strawberry, There was also a orange chocolate.
Speaker 1: Mm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, on that note, don't eat any samples. Bill brings in.
Speaker 3: No, because I do smoke mac very unusual, very unusual
Speaker 3: ice cream.
Speaker 2: I'd make. I make my own sometimes and yeah, that's
Speaker 2: my worry. Yeah, all right, guys, Yeah, let's try that. No, Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's do it.
Speaker 3: Guys, your radio, It's time for Handle on the News
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday, February twenty five with Neil amy Is
Speaker 3: back and me lead story. If you have any doubts
Speaker 3: about Trump's philosophy and view about putin the US split
Speaker 3: with its European allies, the United Nations refusing to blame
Speaker 3: Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. There were three Union
Speaker 3: UN resolutions all about ending the war. Trump's decision to
Speaker 3: open direct negotiations with Russia and the war is well,
Speaker 3: it's a lot of people are spinning because it leaves
Speaker 3: out Ukraine, and the US joined Russian voting against the
Speaker 3: European backed resolution that calls out Moscow's aggression. Trump refuses
Speaker 3: to call it aggression, and he refuses to ask for
Speaker 3: the immediate withdrawal of Russian troops and then made it
Speaker 3: absolutely clear that no blame will be assigned to Prutin
Speaker 3: for the invasion or being a dictator. The invasion was
Speaker 3: Ukraine's fault. Ukraine started the war, and it is Lensky who.
Speaker 2: Is a dictator.
Speaker 3: I mean, the world is turning on its head, and
Speaker 3: that Europe has got it has to come to the
Speaker 3: table in a big way.
Speaker 5: No longer rely on the US.
Speaker 3: Big changes are coming, Big changes are coming, They're already here.
Speaker 2: And that actually was the second.
Speaker 3: Story, also refusing to go ahead, No, no, amy go ahead,
Speaker 3: and expands.
Speaker 6: Refusing to call a spade a spade. President Trump was
Speaker 6: asked yesterday while he was having a meeting with French
Speaker 6: President in Malouel Macron in the Oval Office if he
Speaker 6: would call Putin a dictator the same way he called
Speaker 6: President Zelensky a dictator. And he says, I don't use
Speaker 6: those words lightly. I think we're going to see how
Speaker 6: it all works out.
Speaker 2: Nice deflection.
Speaker 3: And then Trump the deal Maker came into play where
Speaker 3: he said he's willing to cut a deal with Ukraine,
Speaker 3: but we the United States want access to the rare
Speaker 3: earth minerals in exchange for the AID and once fifty
Speaker 3: percent of the rare earth minerals, which is really necessary.
Speaker 3: Those rare earth minerals are used to make all kinds
Speaker 3: of technology. Right now, it's China that really controls that
Speaker 3: entire market around the world.
Speaker 6: All right, Okay, so the FBI former officials and current
Speaker 6: officials are expressing shock and dismay over Trump's latest pick,
Speaker 6: and it's for his number two at the FBI. It's
Speaker 6: Dan Bongino, who's a former Secret Service agent. He has
Speaker 6: a talk show and he's a big critic of the FBI.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, a big critic of the FBI.
Speaker 3: Also conspiracy theorists of the First Order, First Water, and
Speaker 3: a former Fox I think beyond a news contributory.
Speaker 2: Was the host of a show, wasn't he.
Speaker 7: He had like a once a week show.
Speaker 2: I think he's still a host. Yeah.
Speaker 3: A lot of people coming out of Fox, so Amy
Speaker 3: let me ask you, what are the chances of someone
Speaker 3: coming out of MSNBC to have a senior position in
Speaker 3: the Trump White House.
Speaker 6: Well, Joy Reid has availability. She dies talking about that
Speaker 6: in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they have shaken up NBC. Wow, and we
Speaker 3: will talk about that.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 7: So AI.
Speaker 6: Might be firing people at least indirectly. Responses to the
Speaker 6: email that Elon Musk sent out to federal workers telling
Speaker 6: them you need to send in your accomplishments over the
Speaker 6: last week.
Speaker 7: That's going to be scrubbed basically by AI.
Speaker 6: The information is going to go into an LLM, which
Speaker 6: is a large language model. That's an advanced AI system
Speaker 6: that looks at all this data and it then tries
Speaker 6: to understand, generate, and process human language. The AI system
Speaker 6: will apparently determine whether someone's work is mission critical or not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's important when you use a word scrubbed.
Speaker 3: We're not talking about scrubbed in the sense of no
Speaker 3: longer applicable. It's being looked at and gone through with
Speaker 3: this AI system.
Speaker 5: Have you noticed an AMM? Sure you report on this and.
Speaker 3: You have that this Paul see that Musk has implemented
Speaker 3: and it was last night at midnight, where the deadline
Speaker 3: was that all federal employees had to write in an
Speaker 3: email what they did in the past week, five five
Speaker 3: things they did in terms of work. And you had
Speaker 3: the Department of Justice, you had the FBI saying, n
Speaker 3: don't do it. You had Trump saying that if people
Speaker 3: had not put in their five they would be fired.
Speaker 3: And then it became semi fired. Explain that one to me.
Speaker 3: I have no idea what semi fired means. I mean,
Speaker 3: it is going back and forth. Now I understand that
Speaker 3: Musk is saying, okay, the second time out that we
Speaker 3: make the request, you'll be fired. Man, this is one
Speaker 3: where you shooting from the hip. And I think even
Speaker 3: when you look at the efforts at Musk and the
Speaker 3: President are in fact effectuating and there is fraud.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no question.
Speaker 3: I yesterday I mentioned the Department of Education.
Speaker 5: Okay, what have they done?
Speaker 3: Literally, test scores are lower than it was created and
Speaker 3: it was started the philosophy among many people. As you
Speaker 3: turn this over, you turn it over to the states.
Speaker 3: Here's the problem with turning it over to the states,
Speaker 3: because this is one.
Speaker 2: Issue, and there was.
Speaker 3: One of the states, Kansas, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 3: turned over curriculum to local school boards. One of the
Speaker 3: local school boards had as part of the curriculum, and
Speaker 3: this is kids must be told this that whenever you
Speaker 3: mentioned evolution as a scientific fact, you have to also
Speaker 3: mention creationism at the same level of scientific knowledge. Have
Speaker 3: to say they're both theories. That God created the dinosaurs,
Speaker 3: that man did not, was not a proto man, and
Speaker 3: then the eight family split off.
Speaker 2: None of that.
Speaker 4: No, I think you make a great case for that
Speaker 4: possibility proto man that you what proto man.
Speaker 2: Proto bats, proto wise you look like you I am
Speaker 2: a proto branched off of apes. Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: So anyway that's going on, I thought I would share
Speaker 3: that with you.
Speaker 4: So, the US trade war continues. China is escalating beyond
Speaker 4: tariffs now through the plan of Donald Trump and his administration,
Speaker 4: he's going to impose not only those tariffs, but steep
Speaker 4: fees on Chinese shipping companies and any Chinese built vessels
Speaker 4: that enter US ports.
Speaker 2: That's an interesting one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also a massive number. I mean, we're on
Speaker 3: the verge of a full blown trade war.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 5: A tariff war because China does not roll over.
Speaker 3: When there is a tariff, China comes right back and says, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're going to impose a tariff, and then quite often
Speaker 3: we'll impose another tariff. I will see you and I
Speaker 3: will bet more. And now Trump goes, okay, I'll see
Speaker 3: you and I'll put down more money or more tariffs.
Speaker 2: Yep. Let me tell you.
Speaker 5: If you don't think inflation is on its way up,
Speaker 5: you just wait.
Speaker 6: Not a joyful day at MSNBC. MSNBC has announced that
Speaker 6: it is canceling The read Out Show, which Joy Reid
Speaker 6: has hosted since twenty twenty, so she's out and leaving
Speaker 6: the network. It part of their efforts to consolidate production
Speaker 6: operations and add some names to try to get more audience. Obviously,
Speaker 6: the network's making some big changes to its weekday weekend lineups.
Speaker 6: Jen Saki is going to anchor the primetime hour at
Speaker 6: nine pm Tuesday through Friday, and then Rachel Maddow is
Speaker 6: also going to be doing the nine pm slot once
Speaker 6: a week on Mondays.
Speaker 2: Yep, back to where she was.
Speaker 3: She's now doing the first hundred Days of the Trump administration.
Speaker 3: And Lester Holt is stepping down this summer, and they
Speaker 3: don't mention the fact that it's to save a pile
Speaker 3: of money.
Speaker 5: That's what's called line is.
Speaker 2: Of course it is, of course it is.
Speaker 4: I've never thought MSNBC was a legitimate outlet ever, it
Speaker 4: just seems like a complete, you know, college grade level
Speaker 4: you know what?
Speaker 5: Does anybody know what Lester Holt makes a year? By
Speaker 5: the way, I don't know.
Speaker 2: What it is? No matter of fact, why wouldn't we know?
Speaker 3: No, it's because you should know, because that's the reason
Speaker 3: consolidating we should.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: According to the US Sun, he makes ten million a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I would have guessed.
Speaker 3: And if he's replaced by someone two three million dollars
Speaker 3: a year, four million dollars a year. I mean, these
Speaker 3: anchors do very very well. And there's who's in the running?
Speaker 5: I said, Tom?
Speaker 2: Is it? Tony Lamas? Is that his name?
Speaker 3: Who is one of the uh? One of the reporters?
Speaker 3: I like jose Diaz Ballard. I really think he is terrific.
Speaker 6: Front runners are Tom Lamas or yea, I don't know
Speaker 6: how to say his name. I think he's Lamas and
Speaker 6: Hallie Jackson. I bet Howley gets it.
Speaker 3: I don't And I don't understand why Jose Dias Billard doesn't.
Speaker 3: He's my absolute favorite guy. Well it's because he's my
Speaker 3: absolute favorite guy. That's why they would never go to him.
Speaker 3: But he is Hispanic, completely bilingual.
Speaker 5: And he is He just has a great Q rating.
Speaker 2: He's just a nice, nice guy.
Speaker 3: And he ends the broadcast. He's on Saturday nights, which
Speaker 3: I think he's going to stay. He ends his broadcast
Speaker 3: with thank you for the privilege of your time.
Speaker 2: I love that. I absolutely love that.
Speaker 3: Lester Holt, for example, he has his what does he
Speaker 3: say the other networks are crap? Thank you for listening
Speaker 3: or watching, take care of yourself and others.
Speaker 4: I like the way you sign off the show every
Speaker 4: day is this thing off?
Speaker 3: Do you remember Walter Cronkite, the most trusted man in
Speaker 3: America CBS News.
Speaker 2: He retired way too early.
Speaker 3: Regretted that that's the way it is.
Speaker 5: Tuesday, February twenty five.
Speaker 7: Who said good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that the Saturday Night Live?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 7: Probably?
Speaker 5: I think it was Chevy Chase.
Speaker 4: Now that was Jane Curtin. Wasn't it have a pleasant tomorrow?
Speaker 2: All right? Listen, yes, we happily show up.
Speaker 4: Should we get an invite, the Philadelphia Eagles would be honored,
Speaker 4: they say, to visit the White House and celebration of
Speaker 4: their Super Bowl win. This comes from a source that
Speaker 4: talked to CNN. There was all kinds of rumors apparently
Speaker 4: that were going over social media that team had declined
Speaker 4: what is a traditional visit, But apparently they said no,
Speaker 4: we haven't received an invitation yet, but we'd love to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The question is are they going to receive an
Speaker 3: invitation because they turned it down during their win super
Speaker 3: Bowl win Trump's first term, they said no, thank you.
Speaker 7: Oh I thought he actually hold the imitation off the table.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't know, but no, that was
Speaker 5: in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, during Trump's first turn they said no, and then
Speaker 3: he got very upset and said a bunch of things
Speaker 3: that weren't true. Got what a shocker, And now you
Speaker 3: know he is not a very forgiving gentleman.
Speaker 2: If you want to call him a gentleman.
Speaker 5: That's he's just not that kind of guy.
Speaker 3: Although maybe if they say sure will come, it's a
Speaker 3: different story. He showed up to the Super Bowl first
Speaker 3: time the president did, and did you notice he travels
Speaker 3: around the track, around the field in the limousine, the
Speaker 3: big presidential limousine.
Speaker 2: I mean, just weird stuff he likes being seen.
Speaker 7: We'll call that a hard pass.
Speaker 6: The Supreme Court has passed on the chance to get
Speaker 6: rid of protest free zones at abortion clinics. The Court
Speaker 6: declined to hear challenges to a law in southern Illinois
Speaker 6: and also a twenty fourteen ordnance in Englewood, New Jersey
Speaker 6: that created a protest free buffer zone around certain health
Speaker 6: care facilities. Justice as Thomas and Alito said they would
Speaker 6: have taken the cases, but apparently the overall the Court said,
Speaker 6: now we're going to pass on that.
Speaker 3: You know, it's I mean, look at the buffer we're
Speaker 3: talking about eight feet from another person. This is a
Speaker 3: case where the Court basically did the same thing in
Speaker 3: Hill versus Colorado and one hundred foot zone surrounding a
Speaker 3: healthcare facility.
Speaker 5: And the reason they do this is the.
Speaker 3: Pro life peepers, the pro life people actually a cost
Speaker 3: women getting in front of them, screaming at them.
Speaker 5: When they go into an abortion clinic.
Speaker 3: I mean, they can protest all they want, but a
Speaker 3: costing someone come on, and these women are.
Speaker 5: Very vulnerable going in.
Speaker 3: They're scared, they're having all kinds of issues emotionally. I mean,
Speaker 3: even folks that are pro pro choice. It's not easy
Speaker 3: for a woman to make that decision, much less deal
Speaker 3: with people coming in and screaming at them.
Speaker 2: You know what I've never seen.
Speaker 4: I've never seen someone from the church lay in front
Speaker 4: of a false teacher, like a faith healer. That's what
Speaker 4: I'd like to see, because that's more problematic to the church,
Speaker 4: don't you think, Hello, Yeah, I'm.
Speaker 5: Just thinking laying in front of I mean accosting some
Speaker 5: of that.
Speaker 4: They go in front of an abortion clinic, but they
Speaker 4: won't go in front of a false teacher.
Speaker 2: Oh I see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well abortion is abortion is the big one. That's
Speaker 3: why Trump has all the support from the evangelicals. Keep
Speaker 3: in mind, these are very religious people who look at
Speaker 3: morality as being very important. Morality being a mill. Yes,
Speaker 3: no adultery, boy, Trump has adultery plastered all over his face.
Speaker 5: It's just you tell me.
Speaker 2: That was a weird wick put it it. So.
Speaker 4: Bill says over and over, how we're in a new day,
Speaker 4: new way, and you know what, we're not the only
Speaker 4: ones on our heels, So are House Republicans looking at everything.
Speaker 4: House Republicans are eyeing, of course, the tariff revenue, clawbacks,
Speaker 4: of clean energy incentives, and savings from President Donald Trump's
Speaker 4: Department of Government Efficiency. These are all potential alternatives to
Speaker 4: this steep Medicaid cuts they're considering as part of their
Speaker 4: sweeping domestic policy package. May not be enough, though, so
Speaker 4: they're searching for a plan B. As GOP leaders scrambled
Speaker 4: to assuage vulnerable lawmakers concerns.
Speaker 3: This is plan and be on Medicaid and millions of
Speaker 3: people look at Medicaid for help for.
Speaker 5: Services, medical services, and that is going to piss off
Speaker 5: a lot of people.
Speaker 3: And you've got Republicans that are in swing districts going, whoa,
Speaker 3: because that's going to hit them really hard. During the election,
Speaker 3: when Trump said that he wants to get rid of
Speaker 3: Obamacare and he's got ideas, do you think they're going
Speaker 3: to get rid of Obamacare? Thirty million Americans rely on Obamacare. WHOA.
Speaker 3: That's a tough one. That is the third rail. You know,
Speaker 3: the same thing happened with Social Security. You know how
Speaker 3: many Republicans, how many conservatives fought like crazy to fight
Speaker 3: Social Security when it was put into place by FDR
Speaker 3: in nineteen thirty six.
Speaker 5: Try doing that today.
Speaker 3: Stand up and say we want to get rid of
Speaker 3: Social Security and see how quickly that person is going
Speaker 3: to be unelected next time out. And that's what happened
Speaker 3: with medicaid and medicare.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 6: I pose the question, how will we make our own
Speaker 6: clothes now that Joeanne Fabrics is closing?
Speaker 5: Who makes her own clothes?
Speaker 6: I don't know who still does it, but that's what
Speaker 6: they do. They're fabric store. They have crafts, but they're
Speaker 6: mainly a fabric store. They announced that they were going
Speaker 6: to close like five hundred stores just a couple of
Speaker 6: months ago, and now they said, nah, we're closing them all.
Speaker 2: My mom used to make our clothes when we were kids.
Speaker 7: My mom used to make our clothes, you know, and
Speaker 7: then ago.
Speaker 3: Then they went to the store bought clothes after paying
Speaker 3: their lawyer with the side of bacon.
Speaker 4: Right, my mom could whip up a shirt like nobody's business.
Speaker 2: She's very good.
Speaker 3: Hmmm.
Speaker 2: I'd put her.
Speaker 4: I'd put her clothes up against those shoddy sweatshop clothes
Speaker 4: that you wear.
Speaker 2: Mister.
Speaker 5: I love Costco doesn't sell shoddy goods.
Speaker 4: North Korean hackers. Man, they're getting so good. They've stolen
Speaker 4: one stolen one point five billion in cryptocurrency in a
Speaker 4: single heist, making it the largest crypto hack on record.
Speaker 2: Good for them, number one.
Speaker 3: And when they well, I don't know when they had
Speaker 3: the time to do it. I guess when they're not
Speaker 3: going to Costco and going for the samples, which inevitably
Speaker 3: is the huge fight.
Speaker 2: Now they're going a thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it depends on it depends on which Costco?
Speaker 4: Well, yes, is it in a Korean neighborhood, Asian neighborhoods okay,
Speaker 4: because mine's Latinos.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think Latinos.
Speaker 3: Koreans are just particularly aggressive when it comes to those samples.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 4: Oh my people, we that's like a pilgrimage on Sundays.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, during the week. I go because it's two
Speaker 3: crowded on Sundays. And have you ever noticed when you
Speaker 3: go to Costco? Well, well, I digress, but you ever
Speaker 3: noticed when you go to Costco the good stuff, you know,
Speaker 3: the little burritos, a little samples of those, or the
Speaker 3: deep fried whatever, you know, anything that's solid food they
Speaker 3: go for like crazy. And then you have those supplemental
Speaker 3: drinks that everybody.
Speaker 5: Ignores because they're horrible.
Speaker 3: Also, if you notice now is they're much more aggressive
Speaker 3: about selling. I'm talking about the vendors, people that work
Speaker 3: for the companies where they do. Yeah, they're pushing four nine.
Speaker 3: Just come over here and take a taste and you
Speaker 3: can buy them four ninety nine. It used to be
Speaker 3: there where they just sat there and were bored silly.
Speaker 2: Now it's better.
Speaker 5: Also, the really good stuff people.
Speaker 2: Wait in line for. You know what it's like finding
Speaker 2: a parking spot at Costco. You have to just circle
Speaker 2: and circle and circle.
Speaker 4: Set up a dog food one. Just see if anybody, Yeah,
Speaker 4: haste it.
Speaker 7: Damn the First Amendment. Full speed ahead, Okay.
Speaker 6: A federal judge has declined to temporarily restore the AP's
Speaker 6: access to the Oval Office and Air Force One.
Speaker 7: Of course, the Trump administration.
Speaker 6: Banned AP from being in these press pools because it
Speaker 6: said it was going to continue to use Gulf of
Speaker 6: Mexico even though Trump renamed it to Gulf of America.
Speaker 6: So the judge said that the AP didn't show that
Speaker 6: irreparable harm was being done to it. That's why he
Speaker 6: didn't issue that temporary restraining order.
Speaker 3: Denying a White House correspondent access to the White House.
Speaker 5: You don't think that's irreparable harm. And this goes back.
Speaker 3: Jim Acosta had the same situation going because he was
Speaker 3: really anti Trump and he was tossed out of the
Speaker 3: White House Press Office butt and they went.
Speaker 5: To court yep, and won it back.
