Speaker 1: You're listenings KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app, and now.
Speaker 2: Handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's not Bill Handle.
Speaker 2: It is not Bill Handle.
Speaker 3: Pleasure being with you.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for hanging out with us on
Speaker 4: a Tuesday, Amy King exciting for you. I know it
Speaker 4: is because the Dodgers baseball going on in the morning.
Speaker 4: Is that ever happened? When was the last time that happened?
Speaker 4: Do you remember that happening before?
Speaker 5: I do not.
Speaker 3: I don't even know. That's great.
Speaker 5: Dodgers baseball is actually over for the morning.
Speaker 4: Oh, I wasn't gonna spoil it. Spoiler alert. Baseball is over.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, we've had early morning games for football when
Speaker 6: they like play in London and stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this one does.
Speaker 6: The game, first game of the season, started at three
Speaker 6: o'clock this morning.
Speaker 4: How long did they and I don't I honestly don't
Speaker 4: really answer this. How long were they in Tokyo to
Speaker 4: prepare for the time change? Because it's not like those
Speaker 4: guys just want to get up and start playing it
Speaker 4: three o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 5: They've been there for a while.
Speaker 6: They've been there because Mokie Bets isn't playing because he's
Speaker 6: got some sort of stomach something or other and he's
Speaker 6: lost like fifteen pounds.
Speaker 4: That takes a while. Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. That's a
Speaker 4: gas station sushi even in Tokyo. You can't eat that.
Speaker 4: It's a bad deal. Been down that road before.
Speaker 5: They got there on the thirteenth. Oh okay, so yeah,
Speaker 5: so they got their last Thursday.
Speaker 4: They really acclimated. Well, okay, good, Well that's exciting. So
Speaker 4: you'll get an update on Dodger baseball. If you missed
Speaker 4: Amy King's news, she was discussing it earlier. We'll let
Speaker 4: you know exactly what happened a little bit later on
Speaker 4: as we continue with Handle on the News. I'm Chris
Speaker 4: Merrill in for Bill Handled today. If you missed it,
Speaker 4: we are the war in the Middle East is back on.
Speaker 4: So the Israeli forces launching a large skill at tack
Speaker 4: across the Gaza Strip early this morning. It's the first
Speaker 4: major strikes in the territory since we did a ceasefire.
Speaker 4: If you'll remember that, that was the Biden administration, in
Speaker 4: conjunction with the incoming Trump administration, put together a ceasefire
Speaker 4: deal that was done just a few days before Trump
Speaker 4: took over, and so they wanted everybody in on that.
Speaker 4: So the Biden administration along with the Trump administration put
Speaker 4: together the ceasefire.
Speaker 3: They said it's going to be two months. They were
Speaker 3: supposed to release a.
Speaker 4: Bunch of hostages, all the hostages, I believe, and Israel
Speaker 4: says they have not released all the hostages. There are
Speaker 4: still I don't know fifty some on hostages left. Israel
Speaker 4: believes that maybe half of them are already deceased. Hamas
Speaker 4: has not returned them, and so they started ranting hell
Speaker 4: fire in once again. Dozens of Palestinians killed. In fact,
Speaker 4: the what did we did? You have a number on that?
Speaker 4: I was seeing numbers early this morning, four hundred, over
Speaker 4: four hundred for more than dozen. We're talking hundreds, yes,
Speaker 4: of Palestinians killed. And they said, of course, as as
Speaker 4: with any of these runs, women and children are included
Speaker 4: in that. So Hamas saying in a statement that the
Speaker 4: Israeli government had resumed their aggression. Israel of course says, well,
Speaker 4: this is garbage. You still have been giving us back
Speaker 4: our hostages, and so it continues. Now, what will happen
Speaker 4: after this is anyone's guests. We still have different opinions,
Speaker 4: even within this administration. We have different opinions with people
Speaker 4: in the Middle East. I think it's safe to say
Speaker 4: we will see fewer protests at college campuses because, as
Speaker 4: you know, if you protest, you will be deported.
Speaker 3: So it's all I got on thatt Amy King. That's
Speaker 3: all I got, Amy King.
Speaker 5: Oh, that's all you got.
Speaker 3: That's all I got on that Ammy King.
Speaker 5: Okay, so sorry, that's all right, So sorry, okay, Now.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to coordinate with will I got a ride.
Speaker 5: Home to get the best ride home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: We got a zombie attack, possibly.
Speaker 3: Finally, you know learn I've been preparing for this.
Speaker 6: Well, it's a different kind of zombie attack. So cal
Speaker 6: Edison now says that it is investigating one of its
Speaker 6: zombie power lines is a possible origin for the Eaten fire.
Speaker 6: Of course, we've been getting reports, well we've been getting
Speaker 6: reports since the fires started, really at the Eton Canyon fire,
Speaker 6: that it might have started at a power line, and
Speaker 6: so cal Edison has been saying, you know what, that's
Speaker 6: where you're saying it started was a de energized line.
Speaker 5: They call it a zombie power line.
Speaker 3: I saw the phote. I saw the video though.
Speaker 6: Right surveillance footage from an Arco gas station shows what
Speaker 6: appears to be electrical arcs and sparks starting from the
Speaker 6: power line that's in question, and now so cal Edison
Speaker 6: is saying somehow that zombie line might have been re energized.
Speaker 3: I don't believe you.
Speaker 4: I don't believe that there is a zombie power line,
Speaker 4: that the power line is taken on agency and has
Speaker 4: decided to repower itself. I don't believe that we are
Speaker 4: living in a Steven King novel where the machines and
Speaker 4: the power grids just come to life because they've decided.
Speaker 3: We're not there yet.
Speaker 4: Maybe in the future when AI starts doing things, But
Speaker 4: as of right now, I don't believe this. This well,
Speaker 4: we don't know. It wasn't us. We shut it down.
Speaker 4: How could we have done anymore? To me, it sounds
Speaker 4: like they're laying out a plausible deniability defense. And again
Speaker 4: not a lawyer, but it feels to me like they're,
Speaker 4: at least in the public eye, saying, what what else
Speaker 4: do you want us to do? We shut it down,
Speaker 4: it powered itself back up. It's an act of God
Speaker 4: or power God, something of the sort. Bulooney, bulooney, we
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't believe it, Amy King. I am
Speaker 4: the son of an electrician. I am the grandson of
Speaker 4: an electrician. I am the grandson of another electrician. I
Speaker 4: am a giant disappointment in my family. But if there's
Speaker 4: one thing I know, if you flip the breaker, the
Speaker 4: power goes off, it doesn't zombie re energize. And of
Speaker 4: all the places, it just happened to zombie re energize
Speaker 4: right as we have these wins coming through, knocking the
Speaker 4: power line down. I saw the video. It was not
Speaker 4: it was not de energized. I don't believe it. So bullooney, bulloney,
Speaker 4: you probably an In fact, I heard Amy talking about
Speaker 4: this too, DOJ asking a federal appeals court yesterday in
Speaker 4: DC to replace the district court judge that's overseeing the
Speaker 4: case against Trump administration deportment.
Speaker 3: So, if you'll recall the Trump administration.
Speaker 4: They called on the Alien Enemies Act from what was it,
Speaker 4: seventeen ninety eight I believe, And with this Alien Enemies Act,
Speaker 4: they then decided they were going to deport a bunch
Speaker 4: of Venezuelan gang members and they took them to El Salvador.
Speaker 3: You probably saw some of the news footage yesterday.
Speaker 4: I'm still confused because as they were entering into L Salvador,
Speaker 4: they started shaving their heads and doing all the things.
Speaker 3: They were dehumanizing is what they do.
Speaker 4: So they were shaving their heads and then they made
Speaker 4: them walk in chains, but they bent them over.
Speaker 5: Did you see that I did?
Speaker 3: That was weird. I haven't seen. We don't do that
Speaker 3: in the United States, do we That was all that
Speaker 3: was an Al Salvadorian thing.
Speaker 6: I think I think it is, And at first I
Speaker 6: thought it was because they because if they had the
Speaker 6: shackles on or something, but it didn't look like the
Speaker 6: shackles would force them to ben Yeah.
Speaker 3: It looked like they were being held in that position.
Speaker 5: Again, you notice the guards all had masks on.
Speaker 4: It was very strange, very strange, But that could be
Speaker 4: because they're worried about gang retaliation against the guards with
Speaker 4: their families. True, and if there's cameras there, they may
Speaker 4: want to say, you know, I don't I don't want
Speaker 4: anybody know that I'm the guard there because we don't
Speaker 4: want the gangs coming after my wife and kids.
Speaker 3: So I get that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what happens is he deports these guys. If
Speaker 4: you'll recall, a judge said, no, you can't use the
Speaker 4: you can't do that. You can't go in deporting people
Speaker 4: with the Alien Enemies Act. That's for wartime. You haven't
Speaker 4: declared war against Venezuela, so you can't just go use
Speaker 4: that Alien Enemies Act. The last time we used it
Speaker 4: was during World War Two. We had declared war against Japan,
Speaker 4: which is why we then rounded up everyone of Japanese
Speaker 4: descent and put them into tournament camps because we somehow
Speaker 4: thought we were morally superior to other countries that were
Speaker 4: using detention camps. But now Trump says, nope, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go ahead and use that. There is no war declared.
Speaker 4: The judge said, you can't do that. What happened was
Speaker 4: the administration knew that this was that this hearing was
Speaker 4: coming up, so they hurried up. They said, everybody get
Speaker 4: on the plane. Let's get everybody on the plane. Let's
Speaker 4: get that plane up in the air. So they did that,
Speaker 4: and the judge said, no, you can't use it and
Speaker 4: turn any planes around. So the Trump administration is saying, well,
Speaker 4: the planes were already in there. What do you want
Speaker 4: us to do about that? That's not okay. We can't
Speaker 4: just turn those around their over international waters. So basically
Speaker 4: we're declaring a white house Ali Ali Oxen free. And
Speaker 4: so the judges orders don't count. And the judge told
Speaker 4: the lawyers this rather than writing it down. So the
Speaker 4: lawyers said, he didn't write it down. So we found
Speaker 4: this one clever loophole that all lawyers wish they knew,
Speaker 4: as though they clicked through a BuzzFeed article. And so
Speaker 4: the plane lands in Veniceona in El Salvator. Excuse me,
Speaker 4: that's how we get the footage of the of the
Speaker 4: gang members who are being bent over and shaved and
Speaker 4: dragged into cells, and all Salvator is very excited about
Speaker 4: hanging on to them. So now the Justice Department is
Speaker 4: saying that judge was wrong, we should have him removed.
Speaker 4: So we have gone from you've heard the term judge
Speaker 4: shopping before, where a different plaintiffs could be the could
Speaker 4: be the government, could be somebody else. They will they
Speaker 4: will bring a case in a jurisdiction, in a district
Speaker 4: where they believe that the judge is going to be
Speaker 4: preferential to them or at least at the very least
Speaker 4: has some rulings that may favor their opinions.
Speaker 3: So you've heard of judge shopping.
Speaker 4: In this case, it is a judge return without receipt
Speaker 4: situation where they didn't get the judge that they wanted.
Speaker 4: They didn't get the ruling that they wanted, so now
Speaker 4: they'd like to return that judge and go pick out
Speaker 4: something and they can just use store credit.
Speaker 3: That's their plan right now, I believe. Are we up
Speaker 3: against it? Yes?
Speaker 4: Amy King will have the update on what's going on
Speaker 4: with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: The game is over. That is next.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 4: Do you feel safer? According to the mayor and the
Speaker 4: lapd you should?
Speaker 3: But do you so?
Speaker 4: That is still to come this morning Bill Handles Show
Speaker 4: with me Chris Merrill sitting into the padded room this morning. Amy,
Speaker 4: We've been talking about it all morning. That is the
Speaker 4: Dodgers have one in the books already.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 6: The Boys in Blue are back starting the season the
Speaker 6: way they ended last season with a win. The Dodgers
Speaker 6: beat the Chicago Cubs four to one today at the
Speaker 6: Tokyo Dome. Shohey got his first hit. Yashinobu Yamamoto got
Speaker 6: his first start. Freddy Freeman scratched from the lineup after
Speaker 6: batting practice. Not quite sure why Mooki bets out of
Speaker 6: the lineup because he's been sick and he actually became
Speaker 6: sick before the team left for Japan and has lost
Speaker 6: a bunch of weight, so he didn't play either.
Speaker 4: So I lost fifteen pounds. But it wasn't like it.
Speaker 4: It was dehydration. They said, that'll make you look emaciated.
Speaker 5: Today A really bad stomach flew.
Speaker 3: That is bad. Okay, Yeah, I feel terrible for that.
Speaker 3: The game.
Speaker 4: By the way, if you want to watch all the games,
Speaker 4: I guess sports and at LA is offering up all
Speaker 4: the Dodgers games. But I was looking at the price
Speaker 4: and I hate tell you this, but kind of getting
Speaker 4: host Yeah, it.
Speaker 5: Is kind of high.
Speaker 6: I started to read through this, notwent oh, I can
Speaker 6: I can get it on streaming.
Speaker 5: Because I don't have spectrum.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I thought this will be great, and then
Speaker 6: I looked at the price and went, maybe not so great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So if you want to watch the Dodgers TV channel,
Speaker 4: it's thirty bucks a month, or you can get the
Speaker 4: whole year for two hundred dollars. They announced this I
Speaker 4: think yesterday, and of course some people were watching the
Speaker 4: game in Japan early this morning via this streaming app.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's cool and all.
Speaker 4: What they're trying to do is make up for the
Speaker 4: contract that they have with the Dodgers. So they took
Speaker 4: over the contract. Time Warner signed this contract back in
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen. It's an over eight billion dollar contract and
Speaker 4: so they're going, uh, oh, we gotta make this money back.
Speaker 4: So according to the La Times, the twenty nine to
Speaker 4: ninety nine monthly price ranks at the high end for
Speaker 4: streaming subscriptions among MLB teams. You think, not only that,
Speaker 4: but I pulled up the MLB Pass to take a
Speaker 4: look at what you could get. Good news for Ann
Speaker 4: who's a Padres fan, and you can get the Padres,
Speaker 4: all the Padres games, all year long for half of
Speaker 4: what you would pay for the Dodgers games. It's a
Speaker 4: hundred bucks. There you go, that's three months worth of
Speaker 4: Dodgers if you pay monthly. But it's a it's a
Speaker 4: hundred bucks for the for the Padres. But get this,
Speaker 4: if you want to watch the Padres and every other
Speaker 4: game in Major League Baseball. That's the same price as
Speaker 4: just the Dodgers package. It's two hundred dollars for the
Speaker 4: whole year. So you're you can go watch Jackson Merril. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I gotta get I gotta get that Jackson Merril Jersey too.
Speaker 3: So good? You okay, I do. That's what we do.
Speaker 5: We have a the MLB package.
Speaker 3: You do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we can just.
Speaker 4: Notice your face got really flushed when I mentioned Jackson Merrill.
Speaker 3: You got he's good, he's good. You're all right with Yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you see that Amy tattoos?
Speaker 3: Oh tattoo? Say that againts? Oh easy girl, easy now,
Speaker 3: Nando took a twist this morning. I didn't see coming,
Speaker 3: and I'm here for it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, anyway, Padres fans, things are a whole lot
Speaker 4: cheaper for you. There are a few other teams that
Speaker 4: have exclusive deals with Major League Baseball, the Diamondbacks, the Guardians,
Speaker 4: the Rockies, the Twins, as I mentioned, the Podras, the
Speaker 4: Mets with that whatever it is Sports New York, which
Speaker 4: is just the Mets. But then otherwise, if you're a
Speaker 4: fan of any of the other teams, just get Major
Speaker 4: League Baseball TV, and again that's two hundred bucks and
Speaker 4: you get all the games. It's only you'd only want
Speaker 4: to buy this specific team if you're in in that
Speaker 4: home market and you're concerned about blackouts. But if you're
Speaker 4: somebody who's listening and you're outside the market, you wouldn't
Speaker 4: even have to worry about blackouts.
Speaker 6: Okay, shameless plug time, Yeah, go ahead. You can listen
Speaker 6: to all the games all season long on AM five
Speaker 6: seventy k lac oh. But the subscription price is absolutely free.
Speaker 6: And you know what I do dig listening to a
Speaker 6: baseball game on the radio.
Speaker 4: There's nothing better than baseball games on the radio. And
Speaker 4: this takes me back to being a little kid. And
Speaker 4: I'm going to digress here for a moment before we
Speaker 4: return base. So, little kid, it's nineteen eighty four. I'm
Speaker 4: six years old. And this happened year after year, by
Speaker 4: the way, but it was nineteen eighty four was special
Speaker 4: for me because nineteen eighty four I grew up in
Speaker 4: Michigan and that's the year that the Tigers won the
Speaker 4: World Series. So I'm six years old, I'm playing t ball.
Speaker 4: Dad comes home from work. It's you know, it's spring,
Speaker 4: It's it's into the early summer and he parks the
Speaker 4: He parks the Buick station wagon, the light blue Buick
Speaker 4: station Wagon in the driveway. He opens the hatch and
Speaker 4: we go play catch for twenty or thirty minutes every evening.
Speaker 4: Every evening we played catch, listen to the baseball game
Speaker 4: on the radio. He opened the hatch that you can
Speaker 4: hear the speakers out of the back hatch of that
Speaker 4: hideous monstrosity that was the Buick Century. And it's just
Speaker 4: a memory that bonded me with my father that I'll
Speaker 4: probably talk about at his funeral. So it was Ernie
Speaker 4: Harwell and alk Line calling those games. And I tell
Speaker 4: this story often that you know, we'd play catch and
Speaker 4: then we'd go inside and I don't know, take a
Speaker 4: bath or whatever I did as a kid, and I
Speaker 4: go to bed and they would let me listen to
Speaker 4: the local radio station. And this tiny little town I
Speaker 4: grew up in in northern Michigan, the local radio station
Speaker 4: carried the Tigers games. And I and I say that
Speaker 4: Ernie Harwell and alk Line told me more bedtime stories
Speaker 4: than my parents ever did, because I listened to them
Speaker 4: every single night. They allowed me to listen to the
Speaker 4: radio for five minutes. They didn't want me distracted by
Speaker 4: all that media. They let me listen to the radio
Speaker 4: for five minutes and then and then I would go
Speaker 4: to bed, but I got to listen to the Tigers,
Speaker 4: the Kirk Gibson and the Jack Morris, you know, the
Speaker 4: great team from nineteen eighty four. So that's I have
Speaker 4: a special place in my heart for baseball in the radio.
Speaker 5: I love that story.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 5: That's a good one.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: I just I get a little teary eyed when I
Speaker 4: think about that, to be honest.
Speaker 5: And that's okay.
Speaker 6: Baseball does that. Didn't you see Field of Dreams. Yes,
Speaker 6: baseball does that to people.
Speaker 4: Oh and I'm just thinking that somewhere there's a little kid.
Speaker 4: There's a six year old kid somewhere who got up
Speaker 4: with their dad this morning or their mom.
Speaker 3: It's become more popular for women down to got.
Speaker 4: Up early just so they could hear a few innings
Speaker 4: of Dodger baseball this morning.
Speaker 3: First game.
Speaker 4: I gotta get a dad wake me up early. I
Speaker 4: want to listen to that before I go to first grade.
Speaker 4: I want to listen to I want to hear if
Speaker 4: show hey does something that happened somewhere this morning.
Speaker 3: Brilliant, just a beautiful memory.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 6: You want to join Wiggle Wagglewalk. We would love to
Speaker 6: have you join the wake up Call Wigglers. You can
Speaker 6: find out all the information at KFI AM six forty
Speaker 6: dot com, slash Wiggle. It's kept happening on April sixth
Speaker 6: at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 3: Looking forward to very good.
Speaker 4: Did they get the I know that they set the
Speaker 4: SpaceX shuttle up to grab the astronauts.
Speaker 5: They're coming home.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Gilligan's Islands of astronauts who are supposed to
Speaker 6: be up in space for a week are coming home
Speaker 6: nine months later. They have undocked from the International Space Station.
Speaker 6: They're in their Dragon capsule right now. In fact, when
Speaker 6: we talked to ABC's Jim Ryan last hour, the astronauts
Speaker 6: were sleeping in the capsule. And then later today Sunny
Speaker 6: Williams and Butch Willmore, along with our friend Space Force
Speaker 6: Guardian Colonel Nick Hay and a Russian cosmonaut are going
Speaker 6: to be splashing down off the coast of Florida. That's
Speaker 6: happening this afternoon.
Speaker 4: Could you sleep, I wouldn't be able to go to
Speaker 4: maybe like trying to fall asleep on the plane, and
Speaker 4: I don't sleep on the plane.
Speaker 6: I would think that they would be a little bit
Speaker 6: excited for the journey home. That would be so maybe
Speaker 6: they just got rest.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's what they got rest.
Speaker 6: But I will tell you that we got to talk
Speaker 6: to Colonel hagg Up on the International Space Station and
Speaker 6: he said that sleeping up there is the best, absolutely amazing.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, why it would be weird and he said, no,
Speaker 6: you're just floating. There's nothing, there's no gravity, there's nothing.
Speaker 6: You don't need to flip around because you're not uncomfortable,
Speaker 6: and he said, it's the most peaceful thing ever.
Speaker 4: So I'm curious about this because I'm somebody that keeps
Speaker 4: all that attension in my neck, and I find that
Speaker 4: when I lie down at night, I get very anxious
Speaker 4: and I will start to bury my head in the
Speaker 4: pillow I kept, you know, I keep pushing back against it.
Speaker 3: Same with my shoulders.
Speaker 4: I start to push into the bed and I just
Speaker 4: think what, I just inadvertently start doing backflips in zero
Speaker 4: gravity as I continue to try to push backwards.
Speaker 5: Maybe you would, maybe you would I.
Speaker 4: Don't know how gravity works, so maybe it wouldn't do
Speaker 4: anyth because I wouldn't have anything to push off of.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Well, you can kind of spin if once you start
Speaker 6: a spin, you just keep going because there's nothing to
Speaker 6: stop you. A vomit, Well, you can put out your
Speaker 6: hand and you can stop yourself before the vomiting begins.
Speaker 4: Space puke al over the place. You get tangled up
Speaker 4: in the blankets that way too, wouldn't you.
Speaker 5: I don't even think they use blankets.
Speaker 3: Uh, I gotta have blankets, gotta have something to wrap
Speaker 3: up in.
Speaker 4: I've been watching the story about the Pittsburgh student and
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say her name wrong? Is it to Sudiksha Kadunky?
Speaker 4: And I say it even remotely close to being correct.
Speaker 4: So she's on a spring break trip to the Dominican
Speaker 4: Republic and she vanished, and some people say, well, is
Speaker 4: she drown And now they have they're not detaining, but
Speaker 4: they're watching and not allowing another twenty two year old
Speaker 4: guy to go anywhere.
Speaker 5: So they've taken his passport.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he can't go anywhere. He was the last
Speaker 4: person they say to have seen the college student near
Speaker 4: the Beach Hotel at the in Punta Kanta Puta Kana.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I probably just said a swear. We're not have any
Speaker 4: idea that's where they were staying before they vanished. Anyway,
Speaker 4: they said that they had video of this dude hanging
Speaker 4: out with her at the bar just hours before her disappearance,
Speaker 4: and so they're saying, wow, he's definitely a person of interest.
Speaker 4: He may have been the last person to see her alive, which,
Speaker 4: of course, if he was the murderer, would be true.
Speaker 3: That is, if she's been murdered, which we're not sure.
Speaker 4: The police said that there are inconsistencies in his story
Speaker 4: and so they are investigating.
Speaker 3: He is not detained, but he is not free either.
Speaker 6: So his story is that he and the gal went swimming.
Speaker 6: They had been out drinking, yeah, and they went swimming
Speaker 6: in the middle of the night, and he says he
Speaker 6: tried to help her out of the water.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't really remember it. He was found like
Speaker 5: passed out on the.
Speaker 4: Beach because he was drunk too. Yeah, it's totally legit.
Speaker 4: I don't know why anybody would question that story. That
Speaker 4: seems very authentic to me. It seems like a bulletproof story.
Speaker 4: To me, I always wonder about the motivations on these things.
Speaker 4: Are they just psychopaths who just randomly want to kill
Speaker 4: somebody or was there some other motivation if indeed he
Speaker 4: ended up killing her, and will even find evidence that
Speaker 4: she was murdered. I mean, it's also plausible that someone
Speaker 4: who's intoxicated that decided to go swimming in the ocean.
Speaker 3: Drowned.
Speaker 4: That happens. So I don't know what they're gonna get
Speaker 4: this guy on whether he did it or not. We
Speaker 4: may never know. I got nothing else.
Speaker 6: Be advised if you're going to do what the Pittsburgh
Speaker 6: student did, and that is travel overseas in some capacity,
Speaker 6: Federal agents are urging Americans to stay alert and take precautions.
Speaker 6: The Field office of the FBI here in Los Angeles
Speaker 6: said that you need to know if you're traveling that
Speaker 6: there are risks. Maintain vigilance in your travels. Be prepared
Speaker 6: to contact an embassy or consulate if you need to.
Speaker 6: They're saying when you travel, you need to be careful.
Speaker 6: Do things like avoid going out alone after dark. Only
Speaker 6: used authorized taxis and shuttles. That was a big thing
Speaker 6: when we went to South Africa. They're like, don't just
Speaker 6: hop in any taxi because it can be dangerous. And
Speaker 6: also remain cautious of new acquaintances who may try to
Speaker 6: get your personal information or lure you into a compromising situation.
Speaker 3: So we're not supposed to go places now.
Speaker 4: Just be careful, okay, just be cute, all right, don't
Speaker 4: get scammed, be smart, all that stuff, all right, good reminders.
Speaker 4: Whatever big day today will tell you why we may
Speaker 4: finally get to the bottom of what is the most
Speaker 4: prevalent conspiracy theory in American history.
Speaker 3: That is next week.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI.
Speaker 4: Back to Handle on the news, Chris merrill In for
Speaker 4: Handle today. President Trump Amy King has said.
Speaker 3: This is it. This is the time.
Speaker 4: I'm releasing the jfk assassination files. All of them are
Speaker 4: coming out. There's many, many files. They say, there's eighty
Speaker 4: thousand pages of files. That's a lot of pages. It's
Speaker 4: like a very thick book that's like bigger than the Dictionary.
Speaker 3: Nobody's ever seen anything like it. Nobody's ever seen a book.
Speaker 3: This thing that's like all the Harry Potters, like all
Speaker 3: of them all at once. It's all of them.
Speaker 4: I'm releasing them, and I don't think they're going to
Speaker 4: be redacted redacted.
Speaker 3: Funny word.
Speaker 4: A lot of people don't know redacted. I started using
Speaker 4: that word. People weren't using that word, but I started
Speaker 4: using that word. Now everyone's using redacted. But we're not
Speaker 4: going to redact it. All of the JFK files are
Speaker 4: coming out. He might find out he didn't die, it
Speaker 4: was all faked.
Speaker 3: I do know. It could be in there. We don't know.
Speaker 3: We're going to find out.
Speaker 6: It'll be interesting to see if it's a kind of
Speaker 6: a nothing burger or like the they released all the
Speaker 6: files of from Epstein, Well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah where
Speaker 6: so they were expecting this big bombshell and everybody's like, wait,
Speaker 6: there's nothing in here.
Speaker 3: Yeah. With the Epstein files, there were questions. Pambondi.
Speaker 4: The AG released thos and said, oh, they're sitting on
Speaker 4: my desk right now, which made us wonder, are the
Speaker 4: Epstein files just randomly sitting out on somebody's desk, like
Speaker 4: in an inbox.
Speaker 3: But then she released them and it seemed to be
Speaker 3: information that we knew.
Speaker 4: Now, if you'll recall, during Trump's first term, he did
Speaker 4: release some JFK assassination assassination files, but there were many
Speaker 4: of those that were redacted. Then the FBI says they
Speaker 4: found another twenty four hundred records, and well, what's this.
Speaker 4: This is it just randomly sitting in a basement somewhere.
Speaker 4: Who knows, maybe these highly classified classified files just randomly
Speaker 4: ended up in some rich guy's bathroom.
Speaker 3: We don't know. That's where we store a lot of
Speaker 3: classified files. Now. And so the FBI said, look, we
Speaker 3: found a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 4: And so Trump is now saying we have to declassify
Speaker 4: all of it, and he also wants to make sure
Speaker 4: that they are not redacted. If you'll recall when we
Speaker 4: got some of the other files in his during his
Speaker 4: first time, I think it was twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: Those were released. I believe.
Speaker 4: There were still some reactions which meant that somebody at
Speaker 4: the Archives thought that there were some issues of national
Speaker 4: security still in those files. I don't know how much
Speaker 4: we're going to see, and I'm guessing that this could
Speaker 4: be yet another nothing burger, which will for conspiracy theorists
Speaker 4: prove that the conspiracy runs deeper than we've ever imagined,
Speaker 4: that the people who were behind Kennedy's assassin assassination have
Speaker 4: somehow gotten to Trump because they'll find that there's nothing
Speaker 4: in there that incriminates anyone except Oswald, and they'll say,
Speaker 4: uh huh, they've gotten to Trump.
Speaker 3: You watch.
Speaker 4: That's how conspiracy theories work. The more you deny it,
Speaker 4: the more it must be true.
Speaker 6: How about this, this is true, and get a Harvard
Speaker 6: education for free? Go on, come on, So, the Harvard
Speaker 6: is expanding its financial aid opportunities to make undergraduate admission
Speaker 6: tuition free for families who make up to two hundred
Speaker 6: thousand dollars, and then completely free for families making up
Speaker 6: to one hundred thousand dollars. Harvard's estimating that eighty six
Speaker 6: percent of families in the US could be eligible for
Speaker 6: financial help under its new system. Yeah, of course, eighty
Speaker 6: six percent of US families can't go to Harvard.
Speaker 4: Well, I guess my question is who's getting in? I mean,
Speaker 4: they still have to apply, but now you can afford
Speaker 4: it if you don't make it. So who's paying for Harvard?
Speaker 3: Then? Rich kids?
Speaker 4: Right, families making over two hundred thousand are paying for
Speaker 4: the tuition for everybody else? Then I guess right, But
Speaker 4: who's more likely to get in. Let's play the numbers.
Speaker 5: Reach.
Speaker 4: If you have a wealthy family, you're more likely to
Speaker 4: be in a good school district, surrounded by good teachers,
Speaker 4: perhaps sending your kids to a private school, perhaps getting
Speaker 4: your kids tutoring or SAT assistance or anything of that nature.
Speaker 4: Perhaps also can afford to do a great deal of
Speaker 4: the after school activities that helped to enrich a child's life,
Speaker 4: which means it's still going to be the upper crust
Speaker 4: predominantly getting into Harvard. Bubba in Arkansas, who doesn't make
Speaker 4: enough and would qualify for free tuition is not getting in.
Speaker 3: He didn't go to good schools.
Speaker 4: He didn't get that additional education unless you've got good
Speaker 4: will hunting coming out of Texarcana. It's still going to
Speaker 4: be largely the wealthy kids that are going to Harvard.
Speaker 4: Harvard's not losing any money on this. They wouldn't do
Speaker 4: it if they were losing money. So it's still going
Speaker 4: to be largely wealthy kids doing it. Now, why do
Speaker 4: this one? It's good PR two. This is an end
Speaker 4: around of the DEI restrictions. So in large part, the
Speaker 4: DEI stuff was meant to offer a more diversified student body.
Speaker 4: And also we know that because of racial breakdowns and demographics,
Speaker 4: that when you open up certain slots at Harvard to
Speaker 4: people of color, it's more likely those people of color
Speaker 4: will come from disadvantaged areas, or certainly those people of
Speaker 4: color will come from schools who may not be as
Speaker 4: as disadvantaged, but certainly will have different life experiences than
Speaker 4: somebody that went to.
Speaker 3: Any place at nine o two one zero.
Speaker 4: So these kids who now qualify for the free tuition,
Speaker 4: these kids are more likely to come from disadvantage areas,
Speaker 4: and they can kind of cherry pick some that have
Speaker 4: the good essays that talk about what they had to
Speaker 4: overcome to get there, and when they do, then Harvard
Speaker 4: can continue to say we have a very diverse student
Speaker 4: body even without the DEI initiatives that had been in place.
Speaker 3: That's what this is, That's how this is playing out.
Speaker 3: This is what the whole deal is.
Speaker 4: It's an end around on DEI be curious to see
Speaker 4: if they be tation reacts to this at all. I
Speaker 4: don't know that they would. You want to do anything else?
Speaker 4: Are we good? What do you want to do?
Speaker 3: Amy? I'm gonna let you call the ball on this one.
Speaker 5: You want to do one more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, love it?
Speaker 5: Coming up a little short.
Speaker 6: The governor, just days after telling lawmakers that he took
Speaker 6: out a three point four billion dollar loan to pay
Speaker 6: for medical costs just through March, his office now says
Speaker 6: that he needs the state legislature to approve another two
Speaker 6: point eight billion in funding for the healthcare program for
Speaker 6: low income Californians through the end of the current fiscal year,
Speaker 6: which would be June.
Speaker 3: So we're like six billion dollars short.
Speaker 5: This a little bit short.
Speaker 3: How does that happen? How do you come up that short?
Speaker 4: How does he go to the lawmakers and say I
Speaker 4: only need three point four and then oops, I needed
Speaker 4: another three billion.
Speaker 5: Well the three point four was just to get him
Speaker 5: through March.
Speaker 4: We didn't think that what the world was going to
Speaker 4: exist after March? What what was the plan after March?
Speaker 4: Was the plan all along to ask for more money.
Speaker 4: This is like when my wife goes shopping and she
Speaker 4: says it was on sale, and I go, how much
Speaker 4: was it? She says, I got this.
Speaker 3: I got this planter and it was on sale and
Speaker 3: it was half off. It was fifty dollars.
Speaker 4: It's normally one hundred dollars and I go, cool, So
Speaker 4: why does the receipt say three hundred dollars? She says,
Speaker 4: because I had to fill it with plants. This is
Speaker 4: not a savings This cost us three hundred dollars. You
Speaker 4: didn't save fifty bucks, You cost us three hundred. So
Speaker 4: Newsom says, hey, everybody, good news. I just need three
Speaker 4: point four billion dollars and then we're gonna be good.
Speaker 4: And they went, okay, here's your three point four and
Speaker 4: he goes, oh that was through March. JK, gonna need
Speaker 4: another three billion. Did you not think that the calendar
Speaker 4: was going to turn to April? Did he know something
Speaker 4: we didn't know? Was he banking on the asteroid hitting us?
Speaker 4: I don't understand. I don't understand. I just I don't
Speaker 4: get it.
Speaker 5: Is are all.
Speaker 4: Politicians just really really really bad at math?
Speaker 3: Is that what's happening really really bad at Math.
Speaker 4: I would vote for the next politician who runs on
Speaker 4: the platform make Math great again, because I know that
Speaker 4: that person would understand a budget, Make Math great again.
Speaker 3: You got my vote.
Speaker 4: I don't care what side of the isle you're from.
Speaker 4: You got my vote. Make Math great again. I'm in
Speaker 4: one hundred percent. Speaking of math, Uh, what.
Speaker 3: Do they say?
Speaker 4: Liars figure and figures lie. You're gonna find out what
Speaker 4: the figures say because the leadership in Los Angeles says
Speaker 4: you should be happy.
Speaker 3: You feel so much safer. Now that's next.
