Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handled on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six fortys.
Speaker 2: A short time from now, we are going to be
Speaker 2: changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the
Speaker 2: Gulf of America. And we will restore the name of
Speaker 2: a great president, William McKinley to Mount McKinley, where it should.
Speaker 3: Be and where it belongs.
Speaker 1: And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen, here's
Speaker 1: Bill Handle.
Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty you will handle everybody. It is
Speaker 4: a Tuesday, January twenty one, after the inauguration of our
Speaker 4: forty seventh president and the day after Martin Luther King Day,
Speaker 4: which we normally make a much bigger deal of, but
Speaker 4: yesterday was a rather extraordinary inauguration. Second time in history
Speaker 4: a president has come back to have non consecutive terms,
Speaker 4: and these both the forty fifth and the forty seventh
Speaker 4: president the United States.
Speaker 3: And we're going to do a fair amount today.
Speaker 4: This isn't politics per se, because we're no longer into politics.
Speaker 4: We are now into presidential actions.
Speaker 3: I love the idea of the Golf of America.
Speaker 4: I was listening yesterday and someone pointed out that the
Speaker 4: Department of of Efficiency Government Efficiency which is headed by
Speaker 4: Elon Musk no longer Vivic Famaswami or whatever the hell's
Speaker 4: name is. Yeah, him too is I wonder who's the
Speaker 4: one that's going to say, hey, wait a minute, calling
Speaker 4: it the Gulf of America. How much money is that
Speaker 4: going to cost? Do we do every map? The federal
Speaker 4: government has everyone?
Speaker 5: How many maps jobs it will create?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: How many maps I think exists in the Department of Defense,
Speaker 4: the geographical societies? Noah, I mean all the weather people.
Speaker 4: It's going to be hilarious, it really is.
Speaker 6: Aren't much digital?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: They're printed. Yeah, most of the people still use printed maps.
Speaker 4: But you know, I maybe we are making digital. But
Speaker 4: you know, I guess what do you do? You sit
Speaker 4: around with globes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all that has to change, all of it.
Speaker 6: So I still says USSR on my globe.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then Mount McKinley, which was Denali before it was
Speaker 4: changed to Mount McKinley in nineteen fifteen to honor McKinley,
Speaker 4: who had never been to Alaska and really wasn't one
Speaker 4: of our greatest presidents. But still, and then, by the way,
Speaker 4: the Gulf of Mexico. You know how long it's been
Speaker 4: the golf of Mexico. Any idea how long it has
Speaker 4: been called the golf of Mexico, four hundred years?
Speaker 7: It changes today, Yeah, it now changes to call it
Speaker 7: the golf of Messa.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because there are golfers, a great game. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just it's fascinating stuff.
Speaker 3: That was the fun stuff. That was the fun stuff.
Speaker 4: And then the two aircraft carrier strike forces off the
Speaker 4: coast of Greenland, and the President's going to say, we're
Speaker 4: making you an off of you can't refuse.
Speaker 3: There's going to be that.
Speaker 4: It's just gonna be a great fun and there's some
Speaker 4: pretty serious stuff too, And we're going to go through
Speaker 4: the whole gamut of the inauguration speech. Some was expected,
Speaker 4: some way went way over the top. Some some, in
Speaker 4: my opinion, some.
Speaker 3: Legitimate policy changes that are being made that are appropriate
Speaker 3: for a president.
Speaker 4: Whether or not you believe in that, you can be
Speaker 4: on the other side of it, but you can't argue
Speaker 4: that that is not a legitimate change.
Speaker 3: But still, god it, some of this stuff was just hilarious.
Speaker 4: And he ripped into bar I mean ripped into him,
Speaker 4: describing the previous four years as the worst four years
Speaker 4: in the history of the United States, and he is
Speaker 4: there and he has inherited the most difficult.
Speaker 3: Period of any time in the country.
Speaker 4: Ever, I guess he wasn't there when they studied Abraham
Speaker 4: Lincoln and he had this little problem with the Civil
Speaker 4: War at the time that was a little more problematic.
Speaker 3: Maybe yes, maybe no.
Speaker 4: And directive, and he issued the most important executive directives
Speaker 4: in the history of the United States, far more important
Speaker 4: than a directive issued in eighteen sixty three by a
Speaker 4: guy we cleverly call Abraham Lincoln. And it was the
Speaker 4: Emancipation Proclamation that was a directive. So it's you know,
Speaker 4: I'll talk about the legitimacy of some some of the
Speaker 4: stuff because it was complete legitimate based on you may disagree,
Speaker 4: but based on his belief pulling out of the Paris
Speaker 4: Accords the climate change, I mean, president can do that,
Speaker 4: and that's a political decision and you may hate it.
Speaker 3: The World Health Organization.
Speaker 6: Have we been in that since twenty Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's been around. I don't even know.
Speaker 4: I think what since has started twenty five thirty years ago?
Speaker 4: When did the Paris Accords kick in?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Actually, Oh, I see Amy moving yeah, Amy moves.
Speaker 3: To figuring out. No, she's good at this stuff.
Speaker 6: Twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: I was right, right, Yeah, I was right.
Speaker 4: I said thirty forty years ago, twenty sixteen. Okay, so
Speaker 4: it's closer than nine years ago. All right, No, I
Speaker 4: think that's when he pulled out of the Paris Accord.
Speaker 4: Pump pulled us out the first time, Biden reinstated us,
Speaker 4: and now we're pulling out again.
Speaker 3: It's like a bad sexual encounter.
Speaker 6: Doesn't it cost us a lot of money?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Everything costs us a lot of And where he's right
Speaker 4: is we fund everything.
Speaker 3: We pay the bill for everyone.
Speaker 4: For NATO, we pay the bills, although not so much
Speaker 4: anymore because of him, by the way, because of his
Speaker 4: threat to pull out of NATO, the countries finally lived
Speaker 4: up to their agreement and lived up to the treaties.
Speaker 4: And it was because of Trump who said, you don't pay,
Speaker 4: we're pulling out. Guess what, They started writing checks, which
Speaker 4: they agreed to do and failed to do.
Speaker 3: So, okay, so there's a lot. Yes, there's a lot. No,
Speaker 3: And we're going to go.
Speaker 4: Let me do one story as we start a handle
Speaker 4: on the news, because this one sort of took me
Speaker 4: by Surprise News Amy Neil, who's back? Well, Hello Amy,
Speaker 4: Hello Neil, Hello and hellokno lead story. He pardoned every
Speaker 4: defendant or commuted the sentence of every single defendant in
Speaker 4: the January sixth upper everyone, I mean, even the ones
Speaker 4: that attacked the cops. As long as you're a patriot
Speaker 4: and you're a peaceful demonstrator and you attack a police officer,
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. And here's the part that I truly
Speaker 4: dislike about this man is his idea of the constitution
Speaker 4: and upholding the American law and order is loyalty to him.
Speaker 4: It's about fealty.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 3: The rest of it. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: I thought I knew he was going to uh we
Speaker 4: knew he was going to pardon the vast majority, but
Speaker 4: there were some that were There was a sedition in
Speaker 4: which the attempt to overthrow the government was there, the
Speaker 4: attempt to overthrow the government of the United States pardoned.
Speaker 4: That was a tough one. That was very a tough one.
Speaker 4: And the Republicans, of course falling into place, even the
Speaker 4: Republicans whose lives were threatened by the mob directly will
Speaker 4: not say, hey, wait a minute, this isn't right. Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, can you tell I'm gonna have a
Speaker 4: good time with all of this?
Speaker 7: It's a rubbing of the hands and the smacking of
Speaker 7: the lips and the thrust of your fist in the
Speaker 7: air that gave them a little bit of a.
Speaker 3: Well here's I want to make a point before you
Speaker 3: take a break.
Speaker 4: He said during his inaugural that he survived the assassination
Speaker 4: attempt because God has placed them.
Speaker 3: He placed them on earth to save America.
Speaker 4: Well, God has placed me in this chair to save
Speaker 4: all of you from bad or boring talk radio. But
Speaker 4: I don't give God the credit. I give Donald Trump
Speaker 4: the credit. It's gonna be a fun four years, I
Speaker 4: must tell you. Can you imagine Joe Biden being president?
Speaker 4: I mean four years of well, yeah, he just twitched.
Speaker 3: Did he say anything.
Speaker 7: Good?
Speaker 3: That would have been four years and Kamala Harris boring? Boring, boring. Basically,
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris was Joe Biden and drag all right.
Speaker 8: Well, Biden snuck these in just under the wire. Republican
Speaker 8: lawmakers are reportedly furious about Biden's decision to pardon several
Speaker 8: people yesterday, including doctor Anthony Fauci. Retired General Mark Milly
Speaker 8: and the entire January sixth committee, and then right before
Speaker 8: they got to the rotunda, he also pardoned his family.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's interesting.
Speaker 4: I think Biden had a point, especially with Mark Milly
Speaker 4: and Liz Cheney, because the President said, we're going after them.
Speaker 3: We are going after.
Speaker 4: These people, prosecuting them and putting them in jail because
Speaker 4: they went after him, And so I think those I
Speaker 4: think we're legitimate the way he viewed it. But the
Speaker 4: last two minutes of his.
Speaker 3: Presidency, Come on, guy, you know, I mean, how's that
Speaker 3: for a legacy? You sneak this through.
Speaker 4: Oh and by the way, didn't you say you were
Speaker 4: not going to pardon your son when asked outright, I
Speaker 4: am not.
Speaker 3: No on and of course he did, and then he
Speaker 3: came up with the excuse that it was a political
Speaker 3: witch hunt.
Speaker 4: Heard that one before, So yeah, it just goes to
Speaker 4: show you the disparity.
Speaker 3: But that was I think the way.
Speaker 4: He did it was pretty sleazy, I really do. And
Speaker 4: I think he's being looked at as I think even
Speaker 4: as most Ardent supporters.
Speaker 6: Are thinking that.
Speaker 8: From senator to secretary, former Senator Marco Rubio has just
Speaker 8: been sworn in as the new Secretary of State. It
Speaker 8: just happened, and he's speaking now. He was voted in
Speaker 8: last night. The confirmation vote was ninety nine.
Speaker 3: Nothing Yep, no senator voting against.
Speaker 5: That's kind of nice to see. We don't see that
Speaker 5: in a.
Speaker 4: Couple of reasons, because he's not completely crazy. He has
Speaker 4: qualified because he ran as part of the Senate Foreign
Speaker 4: Relations Committee, has a lot of experience in foreign relations,
Speaker 4: and he is well liked in the Senate. I mean
Speaker 4: they just like each other. He likes everybody there was,
Speaker 4: you know, for example, John McCain was best friends with
Speaker 4: Ted Kennedy. Just different people. I mean they just there's
Speaker 4: a liking. I remembers Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg couldn't
Speaker 4: be further apart politically, and they used to vacation together.
Speaker 5: That's how it used to be.
Speaker 3: That's how it used to be. Yeah, But in.
Speaker 4: This case, Marco Rubio hit that again, he's just well liked,
Speaker 4: goes across the aisle, very congenial. You wish that everybody
Speaker 4: was like that. So is it gonna be a little
Speaker 4: more contentious with other ones? Oh?
Speaker 3: Just a little bit?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 8: Is it his heart or Hitler Elon Musk obviously very excited,
Speaker 8: jumping up and down on stage at the Capitol Wan
Speaker 8: Arena in Washington, d C. Yesterday at Trump's inauguration rally
Speaker 8: in parade, and he said to the crowd, I want
Speaker 8: to thank you for making it happen. He said, my
Speaker 8: heart goes out to you, and then he did this
Speaker 8: thing where he slapped his chest with his right hand
Speaker 8: and then flung it up into the air and it
Speaker 8: looked like a Nazi salute sort of.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's some controversy about that.
Speaker 4: I mean, him putting on the mustache beforehand and screaming
Speaker 4: zighile is a little problematic, But.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think it was a Nazi thing.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just the exuberance of this guy. The
Speaker 4: President specifically mentioned Mars. He went crazy because going to
Speaker 4: Mars is all about Elon Musk. So yeah, you know,
Speaker 4: now and then the internet's making a huge deal. Did
Speaker 4: you take it as a Nazi salute? And possibly, Okay,
Speaker 4: well that's very equivocal, thank you, amy Nazi salute.
Speaker 8: No. I thought it was weird looking he's but in
Speaker 8: the context of what he was saying, like my heart
Speaker 8: goes out.
Speaker 5: To you and then puts his hand because.
Speaker 4: The Nazi salute did not indicate the heart, so you know,
Speaker 4: anything with a heart.
Speaker 3: So I didn't take it that way. I don't think
Speaker 3: he meant it that way.
Speaker 5: Very odd, weird, odd genius to genius.
Speaker 3: Yes, well that's the way I view it.
Speaker 4: And what's kind of interesting is this weird, bizarre guy
Speaker 4: is gonna be the world's first trillionaire.
Speaker 5: Make him a good person.
Speaker 3: No, it does not. But he's just a very inn
Speaker 3: you're wealthy or you're a genius. I'm not arguing that.
Speaker 4: But you know, another part of it, the quirk of him,
Speaker 4: he's gonna be he's the richest man.
Speaker 3: In the world by the way.
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, as much as he was signing, what he
Speaker 7: didn't do is immediately imposed tariffs yesterday. So he previously
Speaker 7: promised that, but said that he was thinking about imposing
Speaker 7: a twenty five percent duties on imports from Canada and
Speaker 7: Mexico on February first, over illegal immigrants and sentinel crossings
Speaker 7: into the US.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's gonna be Sadians coming over here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's gonna be some tariffs.
Speaker 4: And this is when you originally said sixty percent one
Speaker 4: hundred percent on some products, especially China, although we I
Speaker 4: think we have one hundred percent tariffs on evs coming
Speaker 4: from China anyway, and Canada caves on this almost immediately
Speaker 4: when he said there'll be immediate tariffs. And so this
Speaker 4: is Trump's bluster. But there's a method to the magnets
Speaker 4: because because it seems to work. So we will see
Speaker 4: over the illegal immigrants. Uh, Mexico's already making moves in
Speaker 4: that direction, has for months, and the fentanyl crossing into
Speaker 4: the US. China is involved in the precursor chemicals. So
Speaker 4: I I you know, day one is I think sort
Speaker 4: of a merifu metaphoric date. But I think you're going
Speaker 4: to see, uh, you are going to see some uh
Speaker 4: some activity in.
Speaker 3: The world of terrorists. And we'll talk more about that later.
Speaker 6: Because party Ryan Reynolds, That's all I want.
Speaker 5: As Okay, why don't you like Ryan Reynolds?
Speaker 6: Tired of his punk ass, Let's get him out of here.
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh did you see that with the internet? Did
Speaker 3: to carry underwood? She got nailed? What did you see
Speaker 3: for just being there?
Speaker 4: She got nailed for being there, especially among a lot
Speaker 4: of young people go on go on Instagram. I mean
Speaker 4: it was going around like crazy. Also during the inauguration. Oh,
Speaker 4: a quick one about the inauguration. The inauguration being inside,
Speaker 4: I thought lent an air that you would never get outside.
Speaker 3: There was an intimacy to it. For example, when the
Speaker 3: marine choir came in, you had those great acoustics inside.
Speaker 4: I thought it was terrific, really terrific. The inauguration. And
Speaker 4: the other thing, the Carrie Underwood song. Do you see
Speaker 4: that glitch where it just didn't happen and no one
Speaker 4: knew what was going on and it was mistimed and
Speaker 4: then she was looking around and then grabbed it and
Speaker 4: saying it archipelago And I.
Speaker 3: Thought that was the sting. Yeah, yeah, it was very strong.
Speaker 7: There was a lot of the timing was weird, and
Speaker 7: I know this got a lot of play last night,
Speaker 7: even on our own station for Pete's sake. But where
Speaker 7: they said he didn't have his hand on the Bible,
Speaker 7: but it was because Milania could didn't get there in time,
Speaker 7: and they started the oath prior, and so there's a
Speaker 7: lot of tiny little missteps or little technical things.
Speaker 5: Okay, so here's what happened.
Speaker 6: Though.
Speaker 8: Remember he was supposed to be sworn in at eleven
Speaker 8: forty seven PM, which is eight forty seven hour time.
Speaker 8: It was they were running behind. Trump needed to be
Speaker 8: sworn in by nine o'clock our time noon their time,
Speaker 8: because that's when Biden stopped being president. So they had
Speaker 8: to switch everything around at the last second and get
Speaker 8: vance and Trump sworn in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so she his wife, wasn't there with the Bibles.
Speaker 7: She hasn't read anybody. Everybody prints that. He didn't have
Speaker 7: his hand on the Bible.
Speaker 3: Oh, she doesn't have to, which she doesn't have to.
Speaker 4: And by the way, the exact noon is that you
Speaker 4: can go past that.
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: I mean technically, technically, do we have a president. It's
Speaker 4: for example, I think it was Obama missed a couple
Speaker 4: of words.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was sworn in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, constitutes.
Speaker 4: Well he didn't have to be sweet sworn in, but
Speaker 4: he was later on just in case. Remember that argument
Speaker 4: he was not president. We didn't have a president.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, you know, those are.
Speaker 4: Really technical little bits and pieces of history that you
Speaker 4: play with now.
Speaker 7: It was different, and then you had Milania taking all
Speaker 7: the tunes from Toon Town and melting them in the
Speaker 7: green acid and.
Speaker 6: That was horrible.
Speaker 5: That was a step too far.
Speaker 6: Now, just too much, yeah, just too much.
Speaker 4: Now, there's one fascinating bit of history and a note
Speaker 4: I want to make that this is the law. Traditionally,
Speaker 4: what happens is the president leaves once the former president leaves,
Speaker 4: in this case the rotunda, and there's a helicopter waiting outside,
Speaker 4: this Marine one, which is not Marine one, when he
Speaker 4: gets on it, because only the president has the one
Speaker 4: designation air Force one, Marine one, and he then leaves.
Speaker 4: And when Nixon left, it was before the swearing inn
Speaker 4: and he was on Air Force one and was the
Speaker 4: President of the United States and was over Kansas when
Speaker 4: gerald Ford was sworn in as president, and as he
Speaker 4: was sworn in, and they timed it perfectly in Kansas,
Speaker 4: right in the middle of the country, the pilot said,
Speaker 4: at the beginning of reporting to the ground control, this
Speaker 4: is Air Force one. And the second that gerald Ford said,
Speaker 4: so help me God, the pilot switched the call letters
Speaker 4: to the call letter of just the airplane. It was
Speaker 4: not Air Force one anymore. And I thought that was
Speaker 4: just such a neat bit of history.
Speaker 3: I love that, absolutely love that.
Speaker 4: So he left on Marine one, which was not Marine one,
Speaker 4: and he left on the plane. I don't know whether
Speaker 4: it was air Force one or not that he flew on.
Speaker 4: I don't know if we can find that out. But
Speaker 4: it was a just standard issue federal airplane belonging to
Speaker 4: the Air Force with a regular call letters when the
Speaker 4: pilot talked to ground control.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's just fun. That's just fun bits of history.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 4: All Right, we're going to come back and we'll finish
Speaker 4: up handle on the new sort of a modified version,
Speaker 4: because we're spending a lot of time talking about what
Speaker 4: happened yesterday.
Speaker 3: But it's great fun. We're not going to be able
Speaker 3: to do that for a while.
Speaker 8: Okay, Okay, this one just might kill Bill Oh. The
Speaker 8: Teamsters has authorized to strike against Costco starting February first,
Speaker 8: unless they reach a deal with Costco before their current
Speaker 8: contract expires January thirty first.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope they reach a thought of Costco workers
Speaker 4: going on strike. If I was a Costco worker, I
Speaker 4: would be throwing those frozen burritos at those people like crazy,
Speaker 4: and usually. Since my dad was a union member for
Speaker 4: his entire life, I have a special place in my
Speaker 4: heart for unions. I would drive my car through the
Speaker 4: picket line to go to Costco. And if I hit
Speaker 4: a few people and so be it. You'll see people
Speaker 4: flying off.
Speaker 3: Nothing's going to stop me from going to Costco. Nothing.
Speaker 3: I went yesterday and I will go again by Friday.
Speaker 6: Nice, yes, excellent word picture.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 7: Vivek Ramaswami will launch a campaign for governor in Ohio
Speaker 7: early next week. So this has imparting way with President
Speaker 7: Donald Trump's incoming Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE.
Speaker 6: So this comes from a couple of sources that are
Speaker 6: close to the situation.
Speaker 7: And yeah, I think this means to anybody, well, I
Speaker 7: think it's.
Speaker 4: More Elon Must than anything else, because no one's paying
Speaker 4: attention to Ramaswami. It's yeah, I mean he was named
Speaker 4: with Must head this Department of Government Energy Efficiency. So
Speaker 4: Musk is throwing you the Hitler salute. Ramaswami is looking
Speaker 4: for all the other arms that he thinks he has.
Speaker 3: H that's a very Hindu joke. And I have no idea.
Speaker 6: If he's hit, you sort of got it.
Speaker 3: But then you know, you know, Vishnu with all the
Speaker 3: arms you know. Never mind it was it didn't work,
Speaker 3: It didn't work. It was a nice visual, but it
Speaker 3: didn't work.
Speaker 6: Oh that's rare for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Vice
Speaker 8: President Kamala Harris has left d C flew into California.
Speaker 8: First stop Monday was Alta, Dina, where she and her
Speaker 8: husband met with volunteers working for World Central Kitchen and
Speaker 8: then they helped distribute meals at the start of the
Speaker 8: dinner rush that it was a nice thing to do.
Speaker 3: Now she's done with politics. What's that?
Speaker 8: I was ready for governor?
Speaker 5: Remember?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I take that back. I
Speaker 3: know why she did that.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 5: Okay, she hasn't said that she is for sure, but
Speaker 5: there's speculation.
Speaker 6: All right. Trump, Gosh, finally a Trump story today. This
Speaker 6: is great.
Speaker 7: President Donald Trump announced just yesterday that he's withdrawing from
Speaker 7: the He's withdrawing US rather from the World Health Organization.
Speaker 7: He's had issues with it for a long time, but
Speaker 7: he says this is because of the organization's mis handling
Speaker 7: of COVID nineteen pandemic, failure to adopt urgently needed reforms,
Speaker 7: and its inability to demonstrate independence from inappropriate political influence.
Speaker 6: So who could that be?
Speaker 4: He is arguing that the who great Man, by the way,
Speaker 4: is it's politically motivated that it's all about. For example,
Speaker 4: it refused to recognize that COVID came from that one
Speaker 4: lab in Whunn, that's where it really came from. And
Speaker 4: of course it has never been proven where the COVID virus
Speaker 4: came from. So he's got some big issues. You're going
Speaker 4: to see a lot of stuff. The Paris climate of
Speaker 4: course gone, NATO don't know at this point. Certainly world
Speaker 4: health organizations. He's going to undo a whole lot of
Speaker 4: what America was about.
Speaker 3: He's changing. He is changing from.
Speaker 6: The UN right, and the UN isn't.
Speaker 3: No, it's a separate organization. I don't think the World
Speaker 3: Health Organization is part of the UN. I don't think.
Speaker 3: So it's a separate organization. Okay, let's move on. We
Speaker 3: have one more story, and you can correct me if
Speaker 3: I'm wrong on that one.
Speaker 8: Russia may be ready to talk. President Vladimir Putin apparently
Speaker 8: congratulated President elect Trump hours before Trump's inauguration and said
Speaker 8: he's open to dialogue with the new US administration on
Speaker 8: Ukraine and nuclear arms.
Speaker 4: A couple things. Whether it pans out or not that
Speaker 4: anything happens. Remember Trump, I didn't do. It was a
Speaker 4: huge controversy when he met with King King jun Un,
Speaker 4: King Jongwun Kim John Ung, head leader of North Korea,
Speaker 4: and people argue, wow, you're giving legitimacy to him, and
Speaker 4: Trump said, you know, it's better.
Speaker 3: If we have a personal relationship.
Speaker 4: Certainly doesn't hurt, I mean, nothing happened as a result,
Speaker 4: But isn't it better when you're sitting down and talking
Speaker 4: to each other.
Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan had an.
Speaker 4: Incredibly close relationship with Margaret Thatcher, for example, and it helps.
Speaker 4: And I think Trump saying sitting down and talking face
Speaker 4: to face is better than not even though nothing comes
Speaker 4: out of it.
Speaker 3: By the way, nothing's going to come out of it.
Speaker 4: Putin is he'll go for peace as long as he
Speaker 4: gets that part of Ukraine. He wants the Dawn Bass,
Speaker 4: he wants eastern Ukraine, and he's not going to.
Speaker 3: Give that up.
Speaker 4: But talking is better than not talking. And so you
Speaker 4: will see the two of them sit down. Guaranteed we
Speaker 4: are done. This is KFI AM six point forty. You've
Speaker 4: been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch My Show
