Speaker 1: You're listenings KFI AM six forty, the Bill Handles show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: App and now Handle on the news.
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, here's not Bill Handle. This is the
Speaker 3: most flattering thing anybody's ever said about. Very nice, Happy
Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Day. What could be the last of all
Speaker 3: Saint Patrick's Days as we know it?
Speaker 4: Did you know that? To Amy King? Happy Saint Patrick's Day?
Speaker 5: I do Saint patricks Day? But why could it be
Speaker 5: the last? We know it?
Speaker 4: This is all it? Why the terriff war? That's it.
Speaker 3: No more Saint Patrick's Day, No more Guinness Bears, no
Speaker 3: more Jamison, no more Bailey's Irish cream, which may or
Speaker 3: may not be in my coffee this morning, because who's
Speaker 3: gonna pay twenty five dollars for a Guinness when you
Speaker 3: could get domestic beer for a lot less for about
Speaker 3: fifty That's more than that. That's right, So that'll be it.
Speaker 3: This is it, This is the last Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3: Might as well welcome the snakes back into England. Here
Speaker 3: they come all because of the terraform.
Speaker 6: Uh do you know that there there are no snakes
Speaker 6: in Ireland?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Did I say England. I appreciate you.
Speaker 5: Oh did you say England?
Speaker 3: No, okay, it's early, it's Monday, and I'll give a crap.
Speaker 4: H Do you know why there are no snakes in Ireland?
Speaker 5: Because it's an island.
Speaker 4: It's St Patrick. That's why.
Speaker 5: No, there are no snakes.
Speaker 6: But the legend is that Saint Patrick banished them. It's
Speaker 6: symbolic of driving out pagan practices.
Speaker 5: Not real, it's not literal.
Speaker 4: I like to think of him as like the pied
Speaker 4: Piper of Ireland. Yep. Now maybe you've got some sort of.
Speaker 3: Literary interpretation of the snakes being Pagan's are some nonsense.
Speaker 3: But the reason that there are no snakes in I
Speaker 3: is because of the Saint Patrick, who is not otherwise
Speaker 3: you're a heathen.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, so we're off to.
Speaker 4: A good start.
Speaker 5: We are.
Speaker 6: I got I've got my list of fifty fun facts
Speaker 6: that I was using on wake up call.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I know what I'm talking about here.
Speaker 5: I googled it.
Speaker 4: And you're wearing the green and everything else, the one green.
Speaker 5: Thing I have in my closet.
Speaker 4: Very good? All right? Are we ready to do this? H?
Speaker 4: Marillan handle on the news.
Speaker 5: Sure, all right up.
Speaker 4: First, all we got is it a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 3: You heard Ammy King talking about this during Wake Up
Speaker 3: called Trump administration transferring hundreds of immigrants to l Salvador,
Speaker 3: even as a federal judge said, don't do that now.
Speaker 3: Trump invoked the eighteenth century Wartime Declaration saying that the
Speaker 3: Venezuelan gang members were war criminals. And so, as a
Speaker 3: US district judge told the Trump administration, now, you can't
Speaker 3: do that because you didn't declare war and this isn't
Speaker 3: a war time thing, they said, quick, get him on
Speaker 3: the plane, get him over international waters, and then the
Speaker 3: judge can't say anything, according to the Salvadorian president, who
Speaker 3: then tweeted, because that's what we do now, he said,
Speaker 3: and I'm quoting Oopsie too late. So the Salvadorian president
Speaker 3: is a Trump ally. He agreed to house the three
Speaker 3: hundred immigrants for a year. How much does it cost
Speaker 3: us to house three hundred immigrants for one year in
Speaker 3: El Salvador is six million dollars, So we got that
Speaker 3: going for us. Marco Rubio negotiated an earlier deal to
Speaker 3: house the immigrants for six million.
Speaker 4: What a steal, he said.
Speaker 3: We sent over two hundred and fifty alien enemy members
Speaker 3: of am I saying this right trend de Aragua, which
Speaker 3: sounded fancy, didn't it.
Speaker 4: Nice job, Thank you.
Speaker 3: El Salvador has agreed to hold those and what Marco
Speaker 3: Rubio said is hold them in their vain, very good
Speaker 3: jails at a fair price.
Speaker 4: That will also save our taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 3: So off they go over the sea using the Alien
Speaker 3: Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight. The last time we
Speaker 3: use that was for Japanese American internment camps, so that
Speaker 3: always goes over. Really well, American history of using this
Speaker 3: act is it's really shown that we've learned a lot
Speaker 3: in the last two hundred and fifty years. The ACLU
Speaker 3: filed the lawsuit which led to the temporary restraining order
Speaker 3: which restrained nothing. ACLU was asking the government whether the
Speaker 3: removals to El Salvador were in defiance of the court,
Speaker 3: and of course the Trump administration says, nope, they were
Speaker 3: already over the air, and the court doesn't have jurisdiction
Speaker 3: over us. So they are deciding what rules they want
Speaker 3: to follow, and they're basically acting a little bit like teenagers.
Speaker 3: Imagine that your parents say you can't go out for
Speaker 3: the night. And so you go and you grab dad's
Speaker 3: keys and you jump in car, and then you head
Speaker 3: to your your friend's party. And then your parents call
Speaker 3: you and they say, we told you that you can't
Speaker 3: go to that party and you can't use the car,
Speaker 3: and you say, I'm already in the car and I'm
Speaker 3: already on the way, so you can't really stop me now.
Speaker 3: So that's what we've done there.
Speaker 6: It is off to you feeling a little shaky this morning.
Speaker 6: Maybe it's because there was an earthquake. Magnitude three point nine.
Speaker 6: Earthquake shook the Malibu area last night, hit at eight seventeen.
Speaker 6: It was a I mentioned three point nine about eight
Speaker 6: miles northeast of Westlake Village, nine miles north of a
Speaker 6: Thousand Oaks felt in Thousand Oaks, Montabello, Carson Moore Park,
Speaker 6: cam Mario. Someone wrote on Facebook that they felt it
Speaker 6: in Long Beach. This was the third Sunday in a
Speaker 6: row that an earthquake has struck Ellie County.
Speaker 5: So maybe it's becoming a weekly thing. Oh okay, no damage,
Speaker 5: your injuries.
Speaker 3: Kind of like setting clocks, sort of a reminder everybody,
Speaker 3: just get on it. Do you ever run into that
Speaker 3: guy that can feel in an earthquake, doesn't matter where
Speaker 3: it is, they go, did you feel it? I worked
Speaker 3: with a guy in San Diego that was like that,
Speaker 3: we could have an earthquake that would hit in Berego
Speaker 3: Springs and he'd come in and go I felt that one,
Speaker 3: and you go it was like a two point one
Speaker 3: eighty miles away, and he's like, ah, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 3: I felt that. No, there's always that guy though. I
Speaker 3: could feel it. I could feel it. Did you have
Speaker 3: marathon fever over the weekend?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 6: You know I did not? Yeah, I mean either, but
Speaker 6: twenty six thousand people did?
Speaker 4: I know?
Speaker 3: Good for them, But I mean what we got like
Speaker 3: ten million people in the metro area and twenty six thousand.
Speaker 3: It's all licked mustard, all right. So it wasn't American
Speaker 3: that won the LA Marathon, first one to do so
Speaker 3: in more than thirty years, second largest field in race history.
Speaker 3: It was what's the guy's name, Matt Richmond or is
Speaker 3: it Rickman?
Speaker 5: I think it's Illinois? Okay, did you hear this? It
Speaker 5: was only the second time he'd ever run a marathon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think he cheated. Yeah, I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: the first to say it. I'm probably not supposed to
Speaker 3: say that, but I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he did.
Speaker 5: I think you just skipped a leg of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably stopped, got some starbucks, came as everybody was
Speaker 3: headed back.
Speaker 4: That's what I would have done.
Speaker 3: His time two minutes, excuse me, two hours, seven minutes,
Speaker 3: fifty six seconds.
Speaker 4: Pretty quick. That put him, uh full three minutes.
Speaker 3: Two minutes and fifty nine seconds for you that want
Speaker 3: to at me, full three minutes ahead of the Kenyon.
Speaker 4: So I don't know. We just have some uh.
Speaker 3: Some savant marathon or who's hanging out on the sidelines
Speaker 3: and just decides it's going to jump in and then.
Speaker 4: Win the thing.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you think that this guy would have been running
Speaker 3: long distance in high school and track and would have
Speaker 3: continued to follow and then probably long distance running in
Speaker 3: college or.
Speaker 4: Something of the sort. It wouldn't be his second marathon. Ever.
Speaker 3: Something fishy is going on. I'm calling my shot right now.
Speaker 3: Something fishy is going on with this. You want to believe,
Speaker 3: but I'm too much of a realist. Something fishy is
Speaker 3: going on. I got nothing else to say about that.
Speaker 6: How about congratulations to Savannah Barry from Bakersfield. She was
Speaker 6: third in the women's race.
Speaker 3: Oh well that's great, right, Yeah, I think that's fantastic.
Speaker 5: We never do well, US doesn't do well in running.
Speaker 3: And she finished third behind an Ethiopian and a Kenyan.
Speaker 4: Yes, so hers is legit, yep.
Speaker 5: Okay because the guy won, Okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And nobody beats the Kenyans or the Ethiopians and marathons, okay,
Speaker 3: especially in their second one. And he just got off
Speaker 3: the couch and decided to run the marathon. No, I
Speaker 3: don't buy it.
Speaker 6: Okay, We're gonna play a little of you get this,
Speaker 6: we get that. Negotiators working to end the Rush Ukraine
Speaker 6: War say they have talked about dividing up certain assets.
Speaker 6: President Trump said he plans to speak to Russia's President
Speaker 6: Putin on Tuesday. The Kremlin has confirmed that. Trump said,
Speaker 6: I think we're doing pretty well with Russia, and so
Speaker 6: we'll see if we have something to announce, maybe by tuesday.
Speaker 6: And he made his comments on board Air Force one
Speaker 6: while he was just flying back to mar A Lago.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. So what does that mean, Jimmy King?
Speaker 3: Does that mean that we're we're just going through in
Speaker 3: divvying up Ukraine.
Speaker 4: That's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't have to fire a single a
Speaker 3: shot and we're gonna end up with half of Ukraine?
Speaker 4: Is that what I'm hearing from this?
Speaker 5: I don't think we get Ukraine.
Speaker 4: Oh, we're gonna get their minerals one way or another.
Speaker 5: I think we're going to get their minerals.
Speaker 3: We are going to get their minerals. That's exactly what's
Speaker 3: gonna happen. Ukraine didn't want the deal. Zelensky leaves the
Speaker 3: White House and Trump says, Okay, I'm gonna go talk
Speaker 3: to Putin.
Speaker 4: We'll figure out who gets what in Ukraine.
Speaker 3: Putin Cannavili ports We're gonna take the minrows and the
Speaker 3: Ukrainians canna have the dirt. That's what's gonna happen. You watch,
Speaker 3: you watch we are we are divvying up Ukraine, and
Speaker 3: everybody's gonna go in and just grab what they want.
Speaker 4: It's a pillaging that's happening right now.
Speaker 3: You watch. It's marked my words. I'm a real bitter
Speaker 3: turd this morning, aren't I?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Why are you so grumpy of Saint Patrick's day? Supposed
Speaker 6: to be happy? Magically delicious and all that.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 3: Back to Marillan Handle on the news. Right, I'm not
Speaker 3: missing anything, am I?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 3: No, you got it Ben A while since I can
Speaker 3: a been a while since I've sat.
Speaker 4: In this chair. We've got a storm system.
Speaker 3: If you have never experienced or tornado or heard the
Speaker 3: sirens go off, it's a hell of a lot of fun, unless,
Speaker 3: of course, it hits you. Powerful storm system tearing across
Speaker 3: the United States pois to move offshore into the Atlantic
Speaker 3: on Monday, devastation left in its weight. Thirty nine people
Speaker 3: eyed and storm related incidents, including Missouri, which had the
Speaker 3: highest death toll, followed by Kansas, most of Alabama severely impact.
Speaker 3: At least three died in Alabama. So this continues to
Speaker 3: rip around. And then we had the tornado and Pico
Speaker 3: rivera last week, right, So that was a that was
Speaker 3: an EF zero.
Speaker 6: It was still like I think it was eighty five
Speaker 6: mile per hour wins, knocked down a bunch of trees
Speaker 6: and that kind of stuff, but nothing nothing.
Speaker 3: In Arkansas they hit an EF F four wins in
Speaker 3: an EF four peak at one hundred and seventy miles
Speaker 3: an hour, So take your take your eighty five that
Speaker 3: we had in Pico and then double that that's what.
Speaker 4: They had going on. Holy cow, those are EF fours.
Speaker 4: I love this.
Speaker 3: One hundred and seventy mile per hour winds has killed
Speaker 3: dozens of people, and I love the writing that we
Speaker 3: get from CNN. Tornadoes have EF four strength are labeled
Speaker 3: as violent and can be devastating.
Speaker 4: Thanks CNN, that's very helpful.
Speaker 3: I Without that sentence, I never would have known that
Speaker 3: the EF four tornado that killed everybody and knocked over
Speaker 3: trees and devastated houses and through cars like they were
Speaker 3: softballs was a violence.
Speaker 4: So thank you c Well done on that one.
Speaker 5: Don't miss.
Speaker 6: With the US, US airstrikes have bombarded Yemen, targeting and
Speaker 6: taking out several leaders of the Iranian backed Hooties. White
Speaker 6: House National Security Advisor Mike Walls says that this was
Speaker 6: an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple Hoothy leaders and
Speaker 6: took them out. The difference here is one going after
Speaker 6: the Houthi leadership and two holding Iran responsible. He says,
Speaker 6: Iran should be on notice.
Speaker 4: So does this mean that we are headed to war
Speaker 4: with Iran.
Speaker 3: It feels like somebody's itching for war, and we start
Speaker 3: attacking in Yemen. And this is so important because the
Speaker 3: Arabian Peninsula, of course is Uh is so key to
Speaker 3: the shipping lane through the Red Sea and then ultimately
Speaker 3: up through the canal in Egypt and the Suez Canal there,
Speaker 3: which of course became blocked and a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: and when that became blocked, we know what that did
Speaker 3: to supply chains and everything else.
Speaker 4: Became a real mess. So now we seem to be.
Speaker 3: Itching to fight with Iran, and we say, well, we're
Speaker 3: gonna stop Iran from having nuclear weapons. Somebody should put
Speaker 3: a deal in place. It stops Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Speaker 3: Somebody should have done this years ago. And so I
Speaker 3: guess we're working on that now and letting know, letting
Speaker 3: Iran know that hell will rain down upon you like
Speaker 3: nothing you have ever seen before. I don't know if
Speaker 3: anybody who has ever seen hell rain out before, but
Speaker 3: if they have, then this will be more hell raining
Speaker 3: down than they've ever seen before.
Speaker 4: It'll be hell rain times two is what we're looking for.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, oil prices in the United States, I guess what
Speaker 3: they're gonna do after we start attacking things in the
Speaker 3: Middle East, Just give it a shot. What do you
Speaker 3: think is gonna happen to oil prices when we pick
Speaker 3: fights in the Middle East?
Speaker 4: Will come as a shock to you. They went up Yep, the.
Speaker 3: United States vowing to keep attacking Yemen's huties until the
Speaker 3: Irano Line Group ends the assault on shipping Chinese economic
Speaker 3: data fueling hopes of higher demand for oil as well.
Speaker 4: And so what does that mean?
Speaker 3: That means Brent futures up sixty three cents, up over
Speaker 3: seventy one dollars a barrel. US Texas crewed futures up
Speaker 3: sixty two cents. That's up the too sixty seven to
Speaker 3: eighty a barrel. So if you thought gas prices were expensive,
Speaker 3: now you're gonna remember this as the good old days.
Speaker 4: Boy.
Speaker 3: I am really on just a role of just pessimism today,
Speaker 3: aren't I. This is not this is not Don't let
Speaker 3: me do Monday mornings anymore, guys, Just don't me doing. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm just grumpy as I'll get out here. Holy cow,
Speaker 3: I'll doom and gloom. I don't want to think you
Speaker 3: had anything else to say about that oil is going
Speaker 3: up no, we started attacking.
Speaker 4: Oil goes up.
Speaker 6: Okay, speaking of doom and gloomy twisters aren't the only killers.
Speaker 6: Fifty nine people were killed and one hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: five others were hurt when a fire broke out in
Speaker 6: a nightclub in North Macedonia. Happened at the Pulse nightclub
Speaker 6: over the weekend early morning hours of Sunday. Everybody killed
Speaker 6: just between sixteen and twenty four years old. Of course
Speaker 6: it was a nightclub. This has happened before. It looks
Speaker 6: like pyrotechnics used for lighting effects on stage at the
Speaker 6: concert is what started the fire that quickly spread to
Speaker 6: the entire club and filled it with thick smoke and
Speaker 6: fifty nine people killed.
Speaker 4: There are a couple of things about this that are horrific.
Speaker 3: First of all, we've had nightclub disasters like this in
Speaker 3: the United States and it's.
Speaker 4: Devastating, horrible.
Speaker 3: I don't want to take anything away from the pain
Speaker 3: that the people they are feeling. Okay, also have to
Speaker 3: think this, if I were to ask, if I were
Speaker 3: to pull Americans and I were to say on what
Speaker 3: continent is Macedonia, how many would get it right? Not
Speaker 3: even like near what other country? Just on what continent
Speaker 3: is Macedonia? How many do you think we get it?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: Not many?
Speaker 4: Not many? No, not many?
Speaker 5: Is it on Africa? I don't know where it is?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I wasn't going to call you out,
Speaker 3: but I genuinely had.
Speaker 4: To google it.
Speaker 3: Okay, yep, No, it squeezed between Bulgaria and Albania. It
Speaker 3: is just north of Greece, so it is a European country. Yep, yep,
Speaker 3: there it is. Who there you go.
Speaker 5: I didn't want to south of Kosovo.
Speaker 3: Yes, I was not going to call you out. I'm
Speaker 3: happy with letting everybody know what a boob I am.
Speaker 5: But my geography is back in my high school brain.
Speaker 3: I would have thought I would have gassed Africa too.
Speaker 3: That would have been it would have been yeah, north Macedonia. Yep,
Speaker 3: just north of Greece. Now we know, which is why
Speaker 3: again we don't even know where it is, which is
Speaker 3: why so few Americans are even going to pay attention.
Speaker 6: To that, which is keep out because is really a
Speaker 6: bad one.
Speaker 4: It is a terrible one. All right.
Speaker 3: We've got the Peruvian fishermen. Why would Peruvian fishermen be
Speaker 3: in the news. You will find out.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 3: In Peruvian Fishermen News, digging into the Peruvian Fisherman Weekly,
Speaker 3: there was a Peruvian fisherman who evidently didn't make it
Speaker 3: back when he was supposed to, and he was just
Speaker 3: floating in the Pacific Ocean for ninety five days.
Speaker 4: Three months at sea, he was lost.
Speaker 3: Maximo Castro, sixty one years old, set off on his
Speaker 3: fishing boat in December. Bad weather caused him to stray
Speaker 3: off his course lose direction. He was found March eleventh
Speaker 3: by an Ecuadorian fishing boat in the waters off the
Speaker 3: coast of northern Peru.
Speaker 4: Heavily dehydrated. You think in critical condition, they said.
Speaker 3: After his rescue, he told media in a tearful interview
Speaker 3: that he managed to survive by drinking rain water that
Speaker 3: he collected on the boat and eating insects, birds, and
Speaker 3: a turtle. He went fifteen days without eating. How long
Speaker 3: would you go before you decided I'm gonna have to
Speaker 3: eat something?
Speaker 5: The turtle maybe forever?
Speaker 3: Oh see, turtle would have been the first one i'd grabbed. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: they just feel like they're a lot slower. It would
Speaker 3: have been harder for me to catch a bird, I think,
Speaker 3: but he caught birds somehow fish.
Speaker 4: I don't know why you didn't fish fishing gear? You would?
Speaker 4: How do you? How are you a fisherman with no
Speaker 4: fishing gear?
Speaker 6: Oh well there's that. Huh Yeah, see now I would
Speaker 6: eat the sushi.
Speaker 4: Maybe he's just a really, really bad fisherman.
Speaker 3: Peru's worst fisherman found alive after floating at sea for
Speaker 3: ninety five days, living on insects, birds and turtle. Why
Speaker 3: didn't you eat fish? He was asked, Never thought of it,
Speaker 3: replied Castro made that up. So anyway, he's back sixty
Speaker 3: one years old. Would a gen zer have survived ninety
Speaker 3: five days at sea?
Speaker 4: Anybody? Anybody? Not even a little bit.
Speaker 3: It's your chance to bag on a younger generation if
Speaker 3: you want. Just go ahead. Yeah no, they would. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, my style signal has gone. This would be
Speaker 3: so many clicks if I could TikTok this, but they didn't. Okay,
Speaker 3: Off to you, Amy.
Speaker 5: Your home insurance looks like it's going to go up.
Speaker 6: We had been hearing about this, but State Farm asked
Speaker 6: for that twenty two percent rate hike because of the
Speaker 6: devastation from the wildfires and their their higher cost and
Speaker 6: California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Laura has provisionally accepted the.
Speaker 5: Request for the twenty two percent rate hike.
Speaker 6: He said it'll be fully approved only if the company
Speaker 6: can justify it with data in a public hearing.
Speaker 5: That's happening. Happening in April.
Speaker 6: Laura also said, hey, State Farm, you gotta quit stopping
Speaker 6: the renewals, and also wants an infusion of five hundred
Speaker 6: million dollars from its parent company to help stabilize finances.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yet, did you see the condition that they
Speaker 3: have to put on this is that I love this.
Speaker 4: They're gonna get their twenty two percent rate.
Speaker 3: Hike only if the company can justify it with data
Speaker 3: in a public hearing. Well, of course they're gonna justify it.
Speaker 3: They're gonna come out, they're gonna take their lumps, and
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen is we're gonna shame State Farm. They're
Speaker 3: gonna get their twenty two percent rate hike. Your home
Speaker 3: insurance rates are gonna go up, but only after there's
Speaker 3: a couple of hours that we get to.
Speaker 4: Shame State Farm. That's it.
Speaker 5: Shame.
Speaker 4: He's making them do the walk of shame.
Speaker 5: Shame, shame, shame.
Speaker 3: And this is after there was that surreptitiously recorded exec
Speaker 3: from State Farm that said, yeah, I mean, we're gonna
Speaker 3: tell them twenty two percent rate hike and they don't
Speaker 3: get it. We're gonna tell them that we're gonna drop
Speaker 3: a bunch of drop a bunch of policies. They basically
Speaker 3: admitted privately. Of course they aren'tother being recorded that it's
Speaker 3: all a game that they're playing.
Speaker 4: It's all a game.
Speaker 3: We're gonna get our rate hike, and all we have
Speaker 3: to do is threaten to drop insurance. The state doesn't
Speaker 3: have any leverage because that fair plan is totally broke,
Speaker 3: and so State Farm goes, all right, I'll tell you what, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you give us our twenty two percent rate hike, and
Speaker 3: we'll hang on and not drop anybody for a year.
Speaker 3: But come April of next year, we're gonna do this
Speaker 3: dance again. They're gonna say, oh, well, you know, we
Speaker 3: had that new fire. There'll be something else, something else
Speaker 3: will burn. We had that new fire. Oh you know
Speaker 3: that fire over the summer, and when that fire hit, well,
Speaker 3: you know we're gonna have to raise those rates.
Speaker 4: Again. We just can't afford it.
Speaker 3: You can't keep going back to our parent company for
Speaker 3: another five hundred million, I mean five hundred million here,
Speaker 3: five hundred million there. It really starts to add up
Speaker 3: what this dance is going to play out. You watch
Speaker 3: how this plays out. How frustrated I am? Why am
Speaker 3: I so grumpy today? Amy King? I should not be
Speaker 3: this grumpy too early?
Speaker 5: But you know it's Monday, all right, we're gonna give it.
Speaker 4: We're gonna give it a case on the Monday.
Speaker 2: So you're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KF
Speaker 2: I am six forty are we?
Speaker 4: Are we moving on here? Did you?
Speaker 6: Yes? I usually wait till Handle introduces that he's doing
Speaker 6: Handle on the News, which is Meryl for Handle on.
Speaker 4: Meryl on the News on Handle on the News.
Speaker 6: Yes, okay, I've got this has got to cheer you up,
Speaker 6: cast a cheer and all of you.
Speaker 5: It has to cheer you up. Ted Lasso is coming.
Speaker 6: Back, in my humble opinion, best show on TV in years,
Speaker 6: and they announced that season four is on the way.
Speaker 6: They didn't say exactly when or exactly who's going to
Speaker 6: be back, but Jason sideikis of course, Yeah, so did
Speaker 6: confirm it and he's going to come back. And if
Speaker 6: you remember the end of season three when when Rebecca
Speaker 6: was presented with an idea to start up a women's
Speaker 6: soccer team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, her and Keeley, right, they were going to do
Speaker 4: the women's team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So apparently he's going to coach it because at
Speaker 6: the end of season three he went back to the States.
Speaker 4: Oh that's right. He wanted to be by his son
Speaker 4: and all that stuff. Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, so I know that that Sideikis was on
Speaker 3: with the Kelsey Brothers on their podcast and he was
Speaker 3: talking about this and they asked him will it be
Speaker 3: in the United States and he said, you're asking too many.
Speaker 4: Questions and down on that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we don't know if it's back here or if
Speaker 3: he is going back there. But my understanding is that
Speaker 3: Brett Goldstein is going to come back as an executive producer.
Speaker 3: You would assume that he would be back on the
Speaker 3: show as well. That is the guy that plays Roy
Speaker 3: Kent on the program.
Speaker 5: He better be back on the shows.
Speaker 4: How do you not love it? Hannah Wattingham, I believe
Speaker 4: is coming back.
Speaker 5: They haven't confirmed. They haven't confirmed a lot of them.
Speaker 5: There's just lots of rumbling, but.
Speaker 3: I'm guessing, okay, because I'm all from you know what
Speaker 3: I love the most about ted Lasso because I agree
Speaker 3: with you, one of the best shows.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna put it up.
Speaker 3: There in the UH probably the top five shows in
Speaker 3: the last ten years. And we had We've had some
Speaker 3: pretty decent programming as the streamers were kind of fighting
Speaker 3: for the last ten years, so there's been decent programming.
Speaker 3: I've said before, I think Apple puts out really good stuff.
Speaker 4: Their quality over quantity.
Speaker 3: So many the others, the Netflix and the Hulu's and
Speaker 3: the Disneys and the Paramounts and all these others, they're
Speaker 3: they're throwing out as much as they can, and there's
Speaker 3: some gems in there, don't get me wrong, but they're
Speaker 3: throwing out a ton of quantity, whereas Apple goes, let's
Speaker 3: do quality. So you end up with severance, and you
Speaker 3: end up with slow horses, and you end up with
Speaker 3: UH for all Mankind and UH in ted Lasso. So
Speaker 3: really great stuff. What I found the most in interesting
Speaker 3: about ted Lasso. And you feel free to disagree if
Speaker 3: you want, but so many shows that we think of
Speaker 3: as being really really good are kind of gritty, and
Speaker 3: there seems to be almost a it's a very real tone,
Speaker 3: but it's always people dealing with a certain darkness, whereas
Speaker 3: ted Lasso deals with his demons. But you feel better
Speaker 3: at the end of the show. You don't feel exhausted
Speaker 3: like when I watch The Bear. I'm exhausted at the
Speaker 3: end of an episode, right, I am worn out ted Lasso.
Speaker 3: I just I can't wait to see more of this guy.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see more of these people and
Speaker 3: the things that they're dealing with and the foils and
Speaker 3: all that other stuff.
Speaker 5: I love it, Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6: And what I love to about it is there is
Speaker 6: an over overarching sense of kindness. Yeah, that you just
Speaker 6: don't get in so many shows. Like there's shows that
Speaker 6: we love like Succession, Yeah, fabulous show.
Speaker 5: Hated every single character.
Speaker 6: All horrible people, and you never left like feeling good
Speaker 6: about mankind. And I always felt good about mankind at
Speaker 6: the end of a ted Lasso.
Speaker 3: I agree. I agree one hundred percent. What I loved
Speaker 3: about it the most. El Tuna, Pennsylvania. I guess the
Speaker 3: police pulled a fast one on Luigi MENGIONI. That's the
Speaker 3: dude you remember him. He shot the United Healthcare Exact.
Speaker 3: So they arrested him at the McDonald's. If you'll recall
Speaker 3: the story, he shot the EXAC and took off and
Speaker 3: then they tracked him down. They found him at this McDonald's.
Speaker 3: I think one of the McDonald's workers called him in.
Speaker 3: Didn't get a raise, but called him in just the same.
Speaker 3: So what happened was when the cops arrested him, they
Speaker 3: were trying to get his DNA, and so cops did
Speaker 3: the very copy thing and they said, okay, listen, you know,
Speaker 3: we're gonna sit down, we're gonna have a talk here,
Speaker 3: We're gonna be a while.
Speaker 4: Can I get you something to eat? You want a
Speaker 4: little snack, you want to drink.
Speaker 3: And he's like, okay, because dumb, and so he accepted
Speaker 3: the snack the snack and then they said thank you
Speaker 3: very much, and then they took the snack bag and
Speaker 3: they pulled his.
Speaker 4: DNA off of it. So it used to be that
Speaker 4: you had the right to remain silent. Now you have
Speaker 4: the right to remain hungry.
Speaker 3: If ever you're being questioned by the police, don't give
Speaker 3: them your your styrofoam coffee cup, don't accept any soda
Speaker 3: from them, and if you do get a snack, put
Speaker 3: that bag right in your pocket. Don't throw the bag
Speaker 3: in the trash because they're gonna get.
Speaker 4: Your DNA off. That is advice from me, not a lawyer,
Speaker 4: because I am not a lawyer.
Speaker 3: So but I've watched a lot of legal dramas, so
Speaker 3: safe to say my advice is probably probably pretty sound.
Speaker 4: Thanks Law and Order.
Speaker 6: Putting a little star power behind a bill is Jay Leno.
Speaker 5: It's Senate Bill seven twelve. Stay.
Speaker 6: Senator Shannon Grove from Bakersfield says they're trying to bring
Speaker 6: back the old rolling exemption for a thirty five year
Speaker 6: exemption to exclude classic cars. So the smog check exemption
Speaker 6: is for car modelsineteen seventy five and older. That's been
Speaker 6: in place since two thousand and five. But under the
Speaker 6: new proposal, any car thirty five or older would be exempted.
Speaker 6: But only bona fide classics ensured as classic cars would
Speaker 6: get the exemption, not cars used for regular transportation.
Speaker 3: Okay, so if I'm driving Grandma's Delta eighty eight from
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 4: As my daily driver, I would not get the exemption.
Speaker 5: That is that's my understanding.
Speaker 4: Oh all right, I don't know how I feel about this.
Speaker 5: They've dubbed it Leno's law.
Speaker 4: All right, help me through this. I understand why Leno
Speaker 4: supports that he.
Speaker 5: Loves classic cars and he's got one hundred of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I get it, and I'm not
Speaker 3: bagging on the guy at all.
Speaker 4: But now, let's see thirty five years older. Do the
Speaker 4: math for me.
Speaker 3: Does that mean nineteen ninety Okay, nineteen ninety was thirty
Speaker 3: five years ago?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: We put this law in place though in the eighties, right,
Speaker 3: or did we put it in place that the standards
Speaker 3: nine was two thous and five is when we put
Speaker 3: the classic car exemption into place.
Speaker 6: The slug check exemption, which has been in place since
Speaker 6: two thousand and five.
Speaker 3: Okay, So my point is is that we had if
Speaker 3: you remember, I didn't grow up in southern California, but
Speaker 3: what I knew of Southern California I got from my
Speaker 3: elementary school education. And I recall them telling us about
Speaker 3: how you can't see your hand in front of your
Speaker 3: face in Los Angeles because the smog is so bad,
Speaker 3: not really exaggerating that. Then showed us photos of you know,
Speaker 3: when the smog kind of sits on top of everything
Speaker 3: and how bad it was in the eighties. Yes, So
Speaker 3: now we're saying that those cars that were from the
Speaker 3: eighties that were causing a great deal of that, that's
Speaker 3: going to be cool as long as you're ensuring them properly.
Speaker 3: A little hung up on that part of it. Little
Speaker 3: hung up on the other hand, I also think if
Speaker 3: you're doing a classic car show and you have, you know,
Speaker 3: like an eighty five Camaro, that's cool car. I want
Speaker 3: that to be able to go to the car show.
Speaker 3: So I'm torn. If I were a lawmaker, I would
Speaker 3: be a bit torn on this one. Help guide me, Amy,
Speaker 3: what am I missing?
Speaker 5: I think you got it.
Speaker 3: Thank you for that guidance, exactly what I wanted. The
Speaker 3: Democrats are in total disarray. We'll tell you just how
Speaker 3: bad things are for them right now. The direction that
Speaker 3: they maybe could go is nuts.
