Speaker 5: just came on. I was able to and I'm no
Speaker 5: computer techo.
Speaker 2: So I was. I was able to play with it.
Speaker 5: I pressed some buttons, I went to certain places, I
Speaker 5: went back and forth because Lindsay also just walked in
Speaker 5: the room.
Speaker 2: And fixed it.
Speaker 6: Oh, okay, there's the truth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the truth.
Speaker 5: All Right, guys, I don't know what's new with you,
Speaker 5: but we have plenty that's new with us.
Speaker 2: Let me get the stories. And you know.
Speaker 5: Also, I'm very very excited because Neil finally, after low
Speaker 5: these many months, what am I going to get? I'm
Speaker 5: going to get the big Green Egg which Neil has
Speaker 5: at his house. And it is a grilling mechanism. It
Speaker 5: is a grilling machine, which is not much of a machine.
Speaker 5: There aren't very many moving parts. I don't think there
Speaker 5: are any, are there? Well, the lid opens.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a moving part, thank you very much.
Speaker 5: That's like, that's like mechanized bathrooms because the toilet paper
Speaker 5: roll actually works.
Speaker 6: No, it's thousands of years old. The tech.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fabulous.
Speaker 5: And we're putting together a broadcast at my house for
Speaker 5: the Folk Report Show, and it's going to be neat
Speaker 5: and we are going to have a contest where listeners
Speaker 5: will absolutely not be able to come because if you
Speaker 5: think I'm gonna have listeners show at up my house,
Speaker 5: you are out of your mind.
Speaker 2: Okay, it will.
Speaker 7: We'll fly over and get aerial shots. It'll be great, Yes,
Speaker 7: sure it will. Yeah, it'll be a whole thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So, because this is radio, and because this is Handle
Speaker 5: trying to arrange free food, trying to arrange.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna try to get We're trying to get
Speaker 2: the free food.
Speaker 5: We're gonna have chefs there, we get the green egg
Speaker 5: people showing up.
Speaker 2: I wonder what else I can get for free?
Speaker 7: Hey, I just wanted to take a minute and thank
Speaker 7: you for breaking all the stereotypes.
Speaker 6: It's very good at you.
Speaker 5: Well, you know my philosophy with radio, and what is
Speaker 5: my philosophy?
Speaker 6: You can't get it for free, you don't need it.
Speaker 2: That's correct. It's that simple.
Speaker 5: Okay, guys, why don't we move ahead and go right
Speaker 5: into Handle on the news on this Wednesday morning, April ninth, Amy,
Speaker 5: did I say hello to you? Amy?
Speaker 2: By the way you did?
Speaker 5: Okay, and I've already forgotten you tell me that I
Speaker 5: don't have early on set?
Speaker 2: Huh? Amy and Neil and me late story. I'm ready
Speaker 2: for a fight. This is warm.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Well, China's doing it back and forth. Retaliatory
Speaker 5: tariffs are coming back. So Trump, as we know a
Speaker 5: few days ago, said thirty four percent tariffs because it's
Speaker 5: an unplaying it's an unfair playing field.
Speaker 2: Which it is, by the way. And but the problem is.
Speaker 5: Trump is going at this as a with a very
Speaker 5: fast bulldozer. And so China comes right back and says, okay,
Speaker 5: thirty four percent on you. Trump comes back and says
Speaker 5: one hundred and four percent. China comes back, I mean
Speaker 5: within a matter of hours, back and forth.
Speaker 2: Now it's eighty four percent.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 5: And while other countries are really sweating bullets. According to
Speaker 5: the Trump administration, seventy countries have contacted the United States saying, okay,
Speaker 5: let's talk about this tariff business. WHOA, we want some
Speaker 5: kind of negotiation.
Speaker 2: China is not.
Speaker 5: And China is a big gorilla gorilla in this fight.
Speaker 5: And so we're going to see how this pans out.
Speaker 5: In the meantime, Amy, what the what are the futures?
Speaker 2: The market opens up in half an hour?
Speaker 8: The stock futures right now? The Dow off five seventy
Speaker 8: three one on nine down for Nasdaq fift so right
Speaker 8: around between one and two percent for the indexes right now.
Speaker 5: All right, So we are just a hair skip and
Speaker 5: a tear and the hair off of a tooth. Use
Speaker 5: I'll get that at some point, I am, I am,
Speaker 5: I'm getting there.
Speaker 6: Time to buy well, like here, it.
Speaker 5: Is trying to figure here, it is trying to figure
Speaker 5: out the market. We're about to go into a bear
Speaker 5: market straight in, and then the talk of recession is
Speaker 5: just getting more and more. It's I gotta tell you,
Speaker 5: we're into some real interesting times. As I've said, Trump
Speaker 5: gets elected, we're looking at a roller.
Speaker 2: Coaster ride in this country. And it is absolutely true.
Speaker 5: One of the things about Donald Trump man, there's no
Speaker 5: hidden agenda with this man. He said, this is what
Speaker 5: I'm going to do. We elected him. This is what
Speaker 5: he is doing. A lot of people didn't think to
Speaker 5: the extent he's doing it, and how rapidly he's doing it.
Speaker 5: I mean, there are a lot of business folks that
Speaker 5: are going, WHOA, wait a minute, Maybe we didn't want
Speaker 5: this quickly. You know, you be careful what you wish for. Okay,
Speaker 5: let's move on.
Speaker 8: Where did all that money go? The newly appointed US
Speaker 8: attorney for Los Angeles' surrounding areas says they're forming a
Speaker 8: criminal task force to investigate potential fraud and corruption involving
Speaker 8: local homelessness funds. Bill Saley cited millions of dollars in
Speaker 8: federal funds that have been allocated to address homelessness, and
Speaker 8: yet the problem is getting worse and a recent court
Speaker 8: ordered audit that found major flaws in homeless services and.
Speaker 5: Our seven I'm gonna do this for I'm going to
Speaker 5: dive more into it and then you'll let, you know,
Speaker 5: throw your two cents in. And the response has been,
Speaker 5: you know, there have been scathing reports on this of
Speaker 5: what's going on with this homeless money in La County
Speaker 5: shut off the La City Housing Authority and so money
Speaker 5: is disappeared. It is horrible, and you know what the
Speaker 5: city is saying, Oh, but we've gotten homeless people off
Speaker 5: the street. Okay, how about the money that is gone, Well,
Speaker 5: we've gotten homeless people off the street.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for this one to pan out more. Neil,
Speaker 2: you were going to say.
Speaker 6: You know how many private jets you can take to Ghana?
Speaker 6: The money that's missing a.
Speaker 2: Lot, Yeah, but there were no private jets. You can't argue.
Speaker 2: You can't argue.
Speaker 7: A friend of mine, Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, last year, I
Speaker 7: think maybe even the year before, started uh, you know,
Speaker 7: sounding the alarm on this, and no one gave her
Speaker 7: any attention, and she got pushback from City Hall, and
Speaker 7: now it's coming out exactly what she was saying. There
Speaker 7: was no accounting for the money at all.
Speaker 5: Well, you're going to see with the new US Attorney
Speaker 5: for Los Angeles appointed by Pam Bondi, a staunch Republican.
Speaker 5: He comes from the state I think, state Senate, no
Speaker 5: Assembly here in California. And keep in mind, the administration
Speaker 5: hates California, hates La County, hates the city, hates Democrats,
Speaker 5: all of which this is controlled by the Democrats. I'm
Speaker 5: talking about the programs here. This thing is going to
Speaker 5: blow up, and it should. It should if there is
Speaker 5: wrongdoing here. If it's just pure negligence, well that's wrongdoing too.
Speaker 7: On my the way I do it, all right. One
Speaker 7: thing I know is that tax Day is coming. One
Speaker 7: thing we don't know is who will be the IRS
Speaker 7: Commissioner during that time, because it keeps changing. Acting IRS
Speaker 7: Commissioner Melanie Krauss is expected to resign. According to two
Speaker 7: administration officials, this agency's top leadership is rocking. She's the
Speaker 7: third person to lead the IRS since January. Acting Commissioner
Speaker 7: Doug O'Donnell left last month. Her departure comes after the
Speaker 7: agency agreed to share tax information with federal immigration agents
Speaker 7: to help them find immigrants in the US illegally. So
Speaker 7: I'm not sure that has to do with it, But anywhere.
Speaker 5: The IRS is changing commissioners about as often as you
Speaker 5: change your underwear, Neil once a week.
Speaker 2: Moving on that.
Speaker 6: Confused, Oh, no, score.
Speaker 8: Win for the First Amendment. A federal judge has ordered
Speaker 8: the White House to restore the Associated Press is full
Speaker 8: access to President Trump, saying that the effort to ban
Speaker 8: Associated Press because of objections of its coverage violated the
Speaker 8: First Amendment. So it was a pretty clear case of
Speaker 8: a violation. This was a Trump appointed judge who made
Speaker 8: the ruling. Trump officials started barring the Associated Press from
Speaker 8: covering events in the Oval Office and on Air Force
Speaker 8: one in February after AP refused to adopt the administration's
Speaker 8: renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now think about this, and the judge said this, there
Speaker 5: is absolutely no reason other than pure retribute to ban
Speaker 5: the AP. All they did was say we are going
Speaker 5: to use the internationally known UH term for the Gulf
Speaker 5: of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, which has been the
Speaker 5: Gulf of Mexico for oh, I don't know, four hundred
Speaker 5: years maybe, And because AP wouldn't do what Trump said,
Speaker 5: and that is this is what we're going to call it.
Speaker 2: They're banned and Judge said, no, no, no, no, you can't do that.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 5: It's first of all, press involvement and press access to
Speaker 5: the presidency and the government is way too important to
Speaker 5: have you just arbitrarily say that.
Speaker 7: Come on, wasn't Trump just offended that they were dead
Speaker 7: naming the Gulf of Mexico?
Speaker 6: They were what dead naming?
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't.
Speaker 6: Refer to somebody trans as their old name.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 7: Never n the death poll of the roof collapse at
Speaker 7: a popular nightclub in the Dominican Republic. It claimed the
Speaker 7: lives of people, you know, former athletes, politicians, climbed to
Speaker 7: one hundred and thirteen on Wednesday. As rescue workers were
Speaker 7: searching obviously very desperately to find survivors. More than one
Speaker 7: hundred and fifty five people were taken the hospitals via
Speaker 7: ambulance after this massive incident at the jet Set nightclub
Speaker 7: in Santa Domingo.
Speaker 6: You know, don't we hear of these every once in
Speaker 6: a while.
Speaker 7: Where they're like a roof collapse or a balcony or
Speaker 7: something at a nightclub.
Speaker 2: But look at the bad luck here.
Speaker 5: Unless there were people on the roof or there was
Speaker 5: an extraordinary weight on the roof during the course of
Speaker 5: one of the nightclub's big nights, this thing could have
Speaker 5: collapsed during the day when no one was there. It
Speaker 5: could have collapsed at another time. It collapses in the
Speaker 5: middle of it being jammed during an evening when the
Speaker 5: festivities were going on.
Speaker 6: You talked the weight had something to do with it.
Speaker 2: Wait the roof. Well, who was on the roof?
Speaker 7: Oh, I thought they Well, I thought it was a
Speaker 7: rooftop establishment.
Speaker 5: Well, no, it was the roof that collapse in on it. No,
Speaker 5: it was on the it was No, it was a
Speaker 5: building that was on the ground. It wasn't up on
Speaker 5: up in the air at all. The roof just collabs.
Speaker 5: If you collapse, and if you look at video, my god,
Speaker 5: it is horrific.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 8: All Right, forget the cavalry, let's call in the drones.
Speaker 8: The Drump administration is considering launching drone strikes on drug
Speaker 8: cartels in Mexico as part of its effort to fight
Speaker 8: criminal gang trafficking and drugs across the southern border. The
Speaker 8: administration hasn't made any final decision and has not reached
Speaker 8: a definitive agreement about countering the cartels without Mexico's consent.
Speaker 8: There could be some issues, but they are calling it
Speaker 8: an option of last resort. Unclear whether American officials have
Speaker 8: even floated the possibility of drone strikes to the Mexican government.
Speaker 2: We've worked before.
Speaker 5: I mean, do you have these joint tasks for task
Speaker 5: force forces and you have the DOJ working with the
Speaker 5: equivalent in Mexico. It happens all the time. The cartel
Speaker 5: is no fun for anybody. But usually if the United
Speaker 5: States says this unilaterally, which it has done these countries,
Speaker 5: Mexico gets really pissed off.
Speaker 6: Drones for drugs love it.
Speaker 7: Chevron is in the process of moving its corporate operations
Speaker 7: to the Houston area, which means they're laying off about
Speaker 7: six hundred employees based in California.
Speaker 6: Looks like it may go up again.
Speaker 7: The company plans lay off about twenty five percent of
Speaker 7: its workforce during the next two years. Is it restructures operations,
Speaker 7: more cuts likely to come.
Speaker 6: As they said, we'll see how it changes.
Speaker 7: But officials in the companies say they're making the move
Speaker 7: from California because Texas offers more business friendly environment.
Speaker 5: No crap, Yeah, Texas is kind of fine. You go
Speaker 5: to Houston and build. I don't know if there are
Speaker 5: any zoning restrictions in Houston, for example, Southern California. California
Speaker 5: in general, it's impossible to do anything. It's impossible to build,
Speaker 5: it's impossible to develop, and it's possible to do business.
Speaker 2: So guess what.
Speaker 5: Everybody moves, Yet our population does not go down, and
Speaker 5: that's because of immigration. Questionable as to the legality. Also,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Amy.
Speaker 8: Go ahead, Oh that's fine. Administration has to walk it
Speaker 8: back again. Hag Seth has to walk back a ban
Speaker 8: on he she and they them, And here's why. The
Speaker 8: Air Force says that hag Seth announced a pro nine ban,
Speaker 8: but then they realized that it we're in counter to
Speaker 8: a Biden Area era defense policy that bars the Pentagon
Speaker 8: from establishing any pronoun policies. So the ban was announced
Speaker 8: in February. It ordered the Air Force to immediately stop
Speaker 8: using preferred nouns in any official communications. But then the
Speaker 8: Air Force said this week we're changing because the pronoun
Speaker 8: ban is a violation of the twenty twenty four Annual
Speaker 8: Defense Policy, which again bans the Defense Department from making
Speaker 8: any pronoun policy, whether it's before, against, or for the use.
Speaker 5: Don't you find it surprising that the Pentagon is actually
Speaker 5: paying attention to a policy instituted instituted by the Biden administration,
Speaker 5: as opposed to just ignoring it and saying, take me
Speaker 5: to court.
Speaker 2: But how about the policy?
Speaker 6: Who cares about people's pronouns?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Really? Who cares?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't know. How about this administration? Who's going nuts?
Speaker 6: But if somebody wants to be referred to is.
Speaker 2: Not in the military, not in the military.
Speaker 6: I guess it's tough to say yes sir, no sir.
Speaker 8: Oh that's that's actually a good one, because you know
Speaker 8: you would you would say to a female officer, you
Speaker 8: would say yes, ma'am.
Speaker 2: Yes you would a male.
Speaker 8: Officer you would say yes sir. So if you had
Speaker 8: a non binary officer, what would you say?
Speaker 6: Yes them, yes them?
Speaker 2: Or yes they yes they and in the South yes y'all.
Speaker 7: Interestingly enough, in the Star Wars universe, the people that
Speaker 7: are higher up are referred to as yes sir, even
Speaker 7: if they're female.
Speaker 2: Huh okay, good to know. Huh yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you're into Star Wars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 6: Is this me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you.
Speaker 6: Okay, I was thinking about Star Wars.
Speaker 7: Ukrainian President of Vladimir Zelenski said two Chinese nationals fighting
Speaker 7: in the Russian Army have been taken prisoner in East
Speaker 7: during Ukraine. They found you know, national documents, bank cards,
Speaker 7: personal data, all this stuff, and they say they have
Speaker 7: information that there are many more Chinese citizens in the
Speaker 7: occupiers units than just these two. We've known about that
Speaker 7: for a while, but they're starting to see it on
Speaker 7: the front lines and now they've captured some.
Speaker 2: Yeah, usually it was North Koreans. Now it's Chinese that
Speaker 2: they're finding.
Speaker 5: I mean, these two denied they were Chinese, and then
Speaker 5: it was well, then what are you doing with egg
Speaker 5: rolls in your pocket? Couldn't deny that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 7: I just got a friend of mine, Greg just texted
Speaker 7: me said you would refer to their rank?
Speaker 6: Say yes, general, Oh all right, that makes sense. That
Speaker 6: that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Oh, here's an interesting factoid.
Speaker 5: If you have an enlisted person as low as you
Speaker 5: can go in the military who has received the Medal
Speaker 5: of Honor, General's Chief of the the Joint Chiefs salute
Speaker 5: that soldier. Did you know that they actually you'll have
Speaker 5: a general salute and enlisted man wearing the medal of Honor.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty impressive stuff.
Speaker 8: You'd think they know better and do better by now.
Speaker 8: A Roman Catholic priest is facing five felony counts of
Speaker 8: child molestation and has been removed from his parish in
Speaker 8: Downey after being arrested by Ellie Kanta Sheriff's deputies. Father
Speaker 8: Jamie Ariaga Blood not guilty on Monday to assault with
Speaker 8: intent to commit a felony against a person fourteen to
Speaker 8: fifteen years old. This is the only person involved, but
Speaker 8: officials say there may be more victims.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: A couple of things about this, and this is where
Speaker 5: I'm going to give the Catholic Church actually some creds here,
Speaker 5: some kudos. First of all, the story LA Time story
Speaker 5: starts with the arch diocese has been hit the largest
Speaker 5: settlement and been hit with the largest legal issues in
Speaker 5: I think the United States maybe the world. Eight hundred
Speaker 5: and eighty million dollars civil settlement with victims now one
Speaker 5: point five billion dollars, so when they passed the plate.
Speaker 2: If you're in church, this is a lot of this
Speaker 2: is going to pay off victims and victims families.
Speaker 5: But where the church used to protect these child molesting
Speaker 5: priests and transfer them into other parishes and hide them
Speaker 5: knowing they were child molesters. Now the church has gone
Speaker 5: the other way. Now the Catholic Church will not stand
Speaker 5: for it. And they're going balls to the wall part
Speaker 5: in the phrase, in this particular circumstance, but they're going
Speaker 5: balls to the wall to make sure that these guys
Speaker 5: are arrested, they're held accountable. And so you know, I
Speaker 5: have to give credit for that, you really have to.
Speaker 5: And that's not being told very often.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 7: Elon Musk use one of Bill Handel's favorite words and
Speaker 7: referred to someone truly as truly a moron. So Elon
Speaker 7: Musk took another job at President Donald trump senior trade
Speaker 7: advisor Peter Navarro just yesterday calling him a moron on
Speaker 7: social media. As the Tesla CEO further splits from the
Speaker 7: White House Tariff's plan, it's like becoming a soap opera
Speaker 7: now as the stomach turns.
Speaker 2: And no, I think it's I think is great. I
Speaker 2: think it is just terrific that this is happening.
Speaker 5: I mean, but this is this is actually this is
Speaker 5: the fun part of the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: The name calling, the vitriol.
Speaker 5: If it doesn't transfer into real policy that hurts people,
Speaker 5: this is just name calling.
Speaker 2: That's just kind of fun. It really is.
Speaker 7: Here Let's make to Tesla as a car assembler rather
Speaker 7: than a manufacturer, and that set Elon off going crazy.
Speaker 5: And Tesla is the most made in America car that
Speaker 5: exists in terms of the parts and what's going on.
Speaker 5: Although a huge number of parts, of course they're bought
Speaker 5: from overseas, from Canada for Mexico as all as all
Speaker 5: the manufacturers are. I'm sorry, Amy, the batteries, right, battery
Speaker 5: technology comes in. Although there's a huge battery manufacturing plant
Speaker 5: that Tesla has in Reno. I think maybe it's the
Speaker 5: biggest many battery plant in the world.
Speaker 8: So I hope you're taking very good care of the
Speaker 8: phone that you currently have and don't break it. Because
Speaker 8: a prominent tech analyst has warned that the price of
Speaker 8: an Apple iPhone could soar if they have to be
Speaker 8: made in the US. Currently most of them made in China.
Speaker 8: Dan Ives is the global head of technology research at
Speaker 8: financial services firm web Bush Securities. He says that US
Speaker 8: made iPhones are possible, but they could cost more than
Speaker 8: three times their current price. So he said, yeah, go ahead,
Speaker 8: build them in the US with a fab in West Virginia,
Speaker 8: New Jersey, and they'll be thirty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 5: Well, and here's why it's never going to happen, because
Speaker 5: if you look at the numbers here, let's say Apple says, okay,
Speaker 5: we are now going to manufacture in the US. All right,
Speaker 5: forget about the costs of of course building the factories
Speaker 5: and the cost of labor, which is going to be
Speaker 5: five times as much. But according to the story, it
Speaker 5: thirty billion dollars three years to move into an American factory.
Speaker 5: That's ten percent of the number of Apple phones that
Speaker 5: would be manufactured. After the infrastructure you need for this
Speaker 5: kind of a product is so immense that it's just
Speaker 5: not going to happen.
Speaker 2: It's just no.
Speaker 7: I was talking to a buddy yesterday and I never
Speaker 7: thought about this, But this is another switch. The vast
Speaker 7: majority of stainless steel comes from China. Yeah, we do
Speaker 7: have some in the States that are made. So companies
Speaker 7: are switching trying to switch over to the American maid
Speaker 7: stainless steel, and guess what happened.
Speaker 6: Supplying demand shot up and the costume.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, here's what we're gonna do
Speaker 5: to your point is we're gonna have my partner, Savile
Speaker 5: on in a moment and talk about talk about our business.
Speaker 2: We import cookware from China and.
Speaker 5: It's made of stainless steel, and we're caught up right
Speaker 5: in the middle of it, and Savile is sweating bullets
Speaker 5: on this one. We've been talking about this for days
Speaker 5: and he's gonna join us and we're going to talk
Speaker 5: about a small American company dealing with the tariffs. Well
Speaker 5: that's and it's ours, So that's coming right up. This
Speaker 5: is KFI A M six.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
