Speaker 2: the Democrats did it. And it's the die program that
Speaker 2: is at KEI DEI right, DIY.
Speaker 1: Do it yourself. I always get them all confused. And
Speaker 1: now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle,
Speaker 1: and good morning everybody. It is and it is Monday.
Speaker 2: Morning, February third, and we're clicking long a quick hello. Hello, Neil,
Speaker 2: Willie Wolf, Good morning, sir, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 1: You're munching on carrit cake this morning, as everybody else is.
Speaker 3: Good morning. I'm very happy about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll talk about that in just a minute, because
Speaker 2: we are going to do a cheap, shameless plug utilizing.
Speaker 1: A national day. Uh and i'll tell you about that
Speaker 1: in uh in a moment. CONO.
Speaker 2: Good morning morning, Bill, morning and.
Speaker 1: Okay, so now the chief plug. Okay, So today is.
Speaker 2: National carrot Cake Day, and in light of that, in
Speaker 2: honor of that, we were able to obtain actually the
Speaker 2: volunteered Stone Fire Grills carrot cake which was brought in
Speaker 2: this morning in I guess in celebration of National Carrot
Speaker 2: Cake Day, and we're gonna be talking about I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be doing some spots for stone Fire Grill because we
Speaker 2: have the big game coming up.
Speaker 4: God, I hate that that coming on my show this Saturday.
Speaker 1: What the big game?
Speaker 2: Oh they are stone Fire Grilling. I had lunch there
Speaker 2: a few days ago.
Speaker 1: Ha ha.
Speaker 2: So anyway, so in celebrate of National Carrot Cake Day,
Speaker 2: we are eating carry cake this morning from Stonefire Grill,
Speaker 2: which they are famous for. Seriously, the most wonderful cake
Speaker 2: carry cake on the planet. And I don't say that
Speaker 2: it's phenomenal. It has been around forever. So now we
Speaker 2: normally we do celebrate certain days, you know, for example,
Speaker 2: for example Juneteenth, where the end of slavery. Basically we
Speaker 2: celebrate when slavery officially ended. We celebrate that by releasing
Speaker 2: our slaves. That has a lot to do with those
Speaker 2: of us who work at iHeart, and we sort of
Speaker 2: consider it slavery. I am connecting holidays to what we do.
Speaker 2: National Carrot Cake Day, and here we are and we're
Speaker 2: celebrating it with carrot cake. National gunner Rhea Day we
Speaker 2: celebrate by no, we don't.
Speaker 1: Real yeah, okay, it's disgusting.
Speaker 4: We've already started between your ears even work. I don't know,
Speaker 4: I don't know, Like you have one tongue, just one,
Speaker 4: but you have two sets of teeth and two lips
Speaker 4: that should be controlling or barricading that tongue.
Speaker 2: But just okay, best carrot cake in the world from
Speaker 2: Stonefire Grill before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course you have cono. Have you had the
Speaker 1: other carrot cake before? No, this is the first time.
Speaker 1: Are you in for a treat? And I'm already halfway
Speaker 1: through my piece and those are you should see.
Speaker 2: When you take any an individual portion, it's enough to
Speaker 2: feed five people. When you get a big portion, you
Speaker 2: you better have twenty people over for a dinner and dessert.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is my challenge, Bill, because I'm not a
Speaker 4: carrot cake person and I love stonefire Grills. That's what
Speaker 4: changed me. That's uh. If you were not a carrot
Speaker 4: cake person, go try theirs and tell me that you
Speaker 4: have not been converted.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we've done enough of that.
Speaker 2: And by the way, that was not because we had to,
Speaker 2: because it genuinely is that good. I mean, there are
Speaker 2: times when I have to talk about certain things right
Speaker 2: today is in a certain day of whatever service that
Speaker 2: we're doing. I go, yeah, I got to talk about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's right there in the contract. Yeah, management said.
Speaker 4: Bill, you got to talk about it.
Speaker 2: And I talk about it, and I pretend to be excited,
Speaker 2: and I go, oh boy, I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Not this one.
Speaker 2: This one is a genuine excitement for carrot cake.
Speaker 1: All right, man, what a weekend we have had.
Speaker 2: Let me get the news stack here.
Speaker 4: It's under the carrot cake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big carry cake covers everything up, crane.
Speaker 4: Cheese, frosting off your hands. There you go.
Speaker 2: No, I had mine in my refrigerator because I ordered
Speaker 2: I told you a few days ago. I had lench
Speaker 2: over it, Stonefried grill, and I brought home one of
Speaker 2: the big ones that'll be going for a week, and
Speaker 2: that's every night or now.
Speaker 4: Every got more self control than me.
Speaker 1: I certainly do. All right, guys, are you ready to
Speaker 1: do it?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes on that, yes, yes, yes, it's time for
Speaker 2: Handle on the News with Amy neil Me lead story.
Speaker 1: Everybody.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, as I told you, we're in for a ride.
Speaker 2: Starting January twentieth, we are in for a ride. And
Speaker 2: this is another one in the saga of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And we're only a week in, what ten days in?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so this one has to do with the
Speaker 2: tariffs that were promised, and he came through on the terraffs.
Speaker 2: But the interesting part of it that I think is
Speaker 2: he comes in and says, by January twentieth of the
Speaker 2: following year of twenty twenty six, prices will be halved
Speaker 2: half of what we're paying.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Well, now, with the raising of the tariffs, prices are
Speaker 2: going up, because that's what tariffs do. Prices go up dramatically.
Speaker 2: And now he is saying.
Speaker 1: Well, people will understand.
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe they will, maybe they will the promise Trump's
Speaker 2: going to lower prices. Now the prices are going to
Speaker 2: raise because he is raising them and he is by tariffs.
Speaker 2: And it's a little complicated because it's not just let's
Speaker 2: go raise prices. I mean, there is a method to
Speaker 2: his madness, if you want to call it madness. He
Speaker 2: wants to long term create American workers, have more factories here,
Speaker 2: all of which in the long term may very well happen,
Speaker 2: but we're going to suffer.
Speaker 1: We're going to suffer. We're going to pay for it.
Speaker 1: And he is for the first time admitted.
Speaker 2: Americans could feel some pain as these tariffs skick in.
Speaker 1: You said you were going to lower the prices.
Speaker 2: Well, the prices are going to go up and you're
Speaker 2: gonna feel some pain. And I wish there was a
Speaker 2: little bit of honesty here, but there can't be, of course,
Speaker 2: when you're running for office. This reminds me of the
Speaker 2: big big pharmaceuticals when they were testifying in Congress against
Speaker 2: lowering prices for those ten or twelve big Medicare contracts.
Speaker 2: Looked at the senators and said, lowering prices is bad
Speaker 2: for the consumer.
Speaker 1: Keeping them high is good for you.
Speaker 2: Here's Trump. I promised you prices will go down. Okay,
Speaker 2: I've made a decision that prices are going to go up.
Speaker 2: But you will understand.
Speaker 4: You know what this You always put me in a
Speaker 4: position to be an apologist for him, and I do
Speaker 4: not want to, but I want to insert some logic.
Speaker 4: Those are two very different things, because one should be assumed.
Speaker 4: You should assume that if tariffs are instituted, that prices
Speaker 4: are going to go up.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not, absolutely not.
Speaker 2: Because Trump did a fabulous job of saying that tariffs
Speaker 2: are coming in and they will prices will go down
Speaker 2: when he becomes president.
Speaker 4: With tariffs, this is surgery. We have gone so far
Speaker 4: away from the path of keeping America in a state
Speaker 4: of strength that we there's the only way you can
Speaker 4: make a difference. Hold on is are you in pain?
Speaker 2: Are you talking about the strongest economy on the planet
Speaker 2: by a long shot?
Speaker 1: Are you talking about full employment? Are you talking about
Speaker 1: the biggest military? Where am I missing here?
Speaker 4: We have lost? Try Our military continues to shrink as
Speaker 4: far as individual troops, and you know it, there are
Speaker 4: issues that we have that aren't just numbers. That's all.
Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you something.
Speaker 2: Assuming that's true, what does that have to do with
Speaker 2: tariffs and prices going up?
Speaker 4: And connecting point is we have we have left the
Speaker 4: United States for cheaper places. If we're gonna do anything
Speaker 4: about it, we have to reverse that. And to reverse
Speaker 4: that's gonna be painful.
Speaker 2: Listen, by the way, Ron Reagan said the same thing
Speaker 2: with inflation. It's gonna hurt more than it is going
Speaker 2: to It's gonna it's gonna hurt more than it is
Speaker 2: going that in the short term.
Speaker 4: Here's the constitution, here's the difference.
Speaker 2: He didn't say, uh, inflation is good. He didn't say
Speaker 2: like Trump said, I Am going to cut prices. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do it by tariffs. They will cut prices. You
Speaker 2: will not be paying as much. Comes into office signs
Speaker 2: the tariffs. Oh, by the way, prices are actually gonna
Speaker 2: go up. But uh, it's good for you, and you'll
Speaker 2: know that's my problem. I don't care long term, and
Speaker 2: this is a long term issue. By the way, long
Speaker 2: term issue. Biden was caught up in. This is going
Speaker 2: on for decades. Just don't lie to me. Please don't
Speaker 2: tell me that around is square. Please don't tell me
Speaker 2: it's raining when the sun is out there.
Speaker 4: Don't tell me that Biden is mentally fit. We just
Speaker 4: have to do it. I must have to do with
Speaker 4: saying that they're politicians. We heard that forever.
Speaker 2: At some point a politician, a president has to tell
Speaker 2: us the truth is that where are you saying that's impossible?
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So when we say prices go up, uh, and he
Speaker 2: says that's not true, do you think that people go, oh.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.
Speaker 2: I just pay thirteen dollars for a dozert eggs. It
Speaker 2: used to be six dollars. But prices have not gone
Speaker 2: up because you told me that it hasn't.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It's there's the reality. That is the reality on its face.
Speaker 2: Now I'm going to talk later on about the long
Speaker 2: term implications. That is important because that if we're willing
Speaker 2: to suck it up for two or three years, that
Speaker 2: may be the case long term. But don't talk to
Speaker 2: me about how my prices are going to go down
Speaker 2: immediately when I become or when you become president, and
Speaker 2: then why they go up.
Speaker 1: But wait a second, it's good that they go up.
Speaker 1: Ignore what I said.
Speaker 2: That's my bitch, Okay, And then we'll talk more about
Speaker 2: long term on this, because it is really interesting.
Speaker 1: We're trying to get hold of my partner, Savill.
Speaker 2: You know, I have that business with him, that Cookwaar
Speaker 2: business where we import cookwar and it is we're caught
Speaker 2: up right in the middle of this tariffs, I mean
Speaker 2: right now, and we're scrambling and this is what a
Speaker 2: lot of companies are doing. I'm trying to get him
Speaker 2: on this morning if we can. Good friend Neil of
Speaker 2: course knows him, has forever. Okay, we're coming back. I'm
Speaker 2: already excited. I'm already exercised.
Speaker 4: Now Amy our neighbors slap back.
Speaker 3: Trump signed executive orders placing twenty five percent tariffs on
Speaker 3: imported goods from Mexico and from Canada, also a ten
Speaker 3: percent extra rate on Canadian energy products, and then he
Speaker 3: also imposed a ten percent tax on all imports from China,
Speaker 3: Mexico and Canada. Almost immediately responded and said, yeah, well
Speaker 3: we're gonna tear if you back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trade wars. You know, my dad's bigger than your dad.
Speaker 2: No, no he's not. My dad is bigger than your dad. No, No,
Speaker 2: it's the other way around. Tit for tat back and forth.
Speaker 4: Does that mean that it's going to be more expensive
Speaker 4: to go see a Ryan Ryan Reynolds movie or I
Speaker 4: hope that does fentanyl go up?
Speaker 2: Uh? That's it, that's it, Yeah, because fentanyl is going
Speaker 2: to be closed down because Trump is arguing what the
Speaker 2: big reason for Mexico two reasons, illegal immigration, fentanyl. Uh,
Speaker 2: and and he's hitting the tariffs and we'll talk more
Speaker 2: about that, because man, it's going to hit Everybody's.
Speaker 1: Gonna hit everybody in uh, in Canada, It's can hit
Speaker 1: everybody in Mexico. Because we have a world economy.
Speaker 2: Now, that's the problem when that people talk about we
Speaker 2: shouldn't have borders those people financially economically, we really don't. However,
Speaker 2: we do now and we'll talk more about this. It's
Speaker 2: it's just going to start to This is going to
Speaker 2: be on the table.
Speaker 1: For a while.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it spreads everywhere. Last night, yet thousands of
Speaker 4: people marching in downtown Los Angeles, closing off the one
Speaker 4: to one freeway, causing major gridlock. What were they doing?
Speaker 4: They were protesting ice and the mass deportations that Trump
Speaker 4: has signed into orders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, why do these people think that somehow blocking
Speaker 2: the freeway is in any way going to get me
Speaker 2: more on their side or somehow help their cause.
Speaker 1: What it's not like we don't already know what the
Speaker 1: issue is.
Speaker 2: This is when there should be an exemption under the
Speaker 2: law about running over people with eighteen wheelers, there has
Speaker 2: to be an exemption.
Speaker 4: Well, that doesn't solve anything.
Speaker 1: But oh it souls plenty because the freeways open at
Speaker 1: that point.
Speaker 4: You do got to wonder why it's not just straight
Speaker 4: up illegal to what run over people with an aho
Speaker 4: wheeler out in the middle of the freeway.
Speaker 1: It is illegal to anybody what.
Speaker 3: They didn't arrest anybody.
Speaker 1: They don't why would they arrest anybody?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, arresting thirty thousand people is a
Speaker 2: little bit problematic, but it's when you have enough.
Speaker 1: Numbers, what are you gonna do twenty thousand people on
Speaker 1: the freeway? Who do you accept expect to enforce that?
Speaker 2: Why don't you go with a bullhorn and say, hey,
Speaker 2: we're gonna go eeny meeni mini mo, and then just
Speaker 2: start grabbing people at random, saying okay, you want to
Speaker 2: be picked up.
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, it han't be just a slight misdemeanor.
Speaker 1: It has to be twenty five years to life.
Speaker 2: And then people can think, all right, maybe I shouldn't
Speaker 2: block a freeway. I feel pretty strongly about getting I
Speaker 2: feel pretty strongly about freeways being blocked off.
Speaker 4: The scoop planes for yeah, for water.
Speaker 3: Okay, with that, the delicate operation to raise the wreckage
Speaker 3: is getting underway. The US Army Corps of Engineers is
Speaker 3: expected to begin operations today to remove the fuselage of
Speaker 3: the plane and the helicopter from the potent Potomac Potona.
Speaker 1: You're just going to sound like me, jesu.
Speaker 4: Wow, you just got corrected. By handle on it.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's a problem. I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so much of the rivers still off limits, and
Speaker 3: they've been attempting to lift the fuselage and have found
Speaker 3: more bodies. They say it's going to take three days
Speaker 3: to get all of the plane out of the off
Speaker 3: out of the water. They've identified fifty five of the
Speaker 3: sixty seven people killed in the crash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll identify all of them, but some of them
Speaker 2: are caught up in the wreckage, and that makes recovery
Speaker 2: much more difficult because they have to be very cognizant
Speaker 2: that there are lost human beings there. And the investigation
Speaker 2: is now continuing, and everybody, especially the NTSB, is saying, hey,
Speaker 2: let's not rush the judgment here because we're immediately saying
Speaker 2: it's the helicopter's fault. But yesterday, if you heard the
Speaker 2: guy who is head of the NTSB, who is the
Speaker 2: lead investigator they've got they're getting.
Speaker 1: Two different kinds of readings.
Speaker 2: One says the helicopter is at I think three hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty feet. The other, and these are the recorders
Speaker 2: on the plane as well as the helicopter, say it
Speaker 2: was a little over two hundred feet and they have
Speaker 2: to reconcile them because this is not unusual.
Speaker 1: It shows different readings.
Speaker 2: It's a little more complicated than just oh, the helicopter
Speaker 2: was at you know, three hundred and fifty feet and
Speaker 2: was supposed to be a two hundred feet and the
Speaker 2: airplane was doing everything it should have, which it was.
Speaker 2: By the way, the aircraft was landing, followed the instructions
Speaker 2: from the tower.
Speaker 4: All right, no one sees the wizard, no way know how.
Speaker 4: Two top security officials at the US Agency for International
Speaker 4: Development were put on administrative leaves Saturday night because they
Speaker 4: refused officials from Elon Musk's new Department of Government Efficiency confusion.
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe they wanted it looks like maybe
Speaker 4: they wanted access to some classified information, which they got
Speaker 4: they finally did. But do they have security clearance? No?
Speaker 2: This is and that's really weird because certain areas the
Speaker 2: government don't have security clearance others. The only person that
Speaker 2: has security clearance in anything he wants, of course, as.
Speaker 1: The president, absolute security clearance as to anything.
Speaker 2: So although in certain cases the CIA doesn't even give
Speaker 2: the president access.
Speaker 1: And it's really a weird situation. But legally it's of
Speaker 1: course he's the head of state.
Speaker 2: So Musco's in there, and you're gonna find, uh that
Speaker 2: just entire agencies are going to be wiped out. For example,
Speaker 2: US AID is they put that on hold. Foreign Aid
Speaker 2: has been stopped. You got kids that are starving, you
Speaker 2: know that rely on this and they're eating sand.
Speaker 1: Now it's it's.
Speaker 2: And it's not because by the way that the administration
Speaker 2: wants kids to starve. It's uh, the the appearance as
Speaker 2: far as the administration is concerned. Learn that there's fraud,
Speaker 2: there's waste, and money's being thrown away, and there's a
Speaker 2: bunch of allegations being thrown that way.
Speaker 1: So we're going to go through that one too. Things
Speaker 1: are changing, Boy, things are changing.
Speaker 3: Dow's taking a dive. US doock market futures plunged yesterday
Speaker 3: after Trump announced those twenty five percent tariffs on Canada
Speaker 3: and Mexico in ten percent on China. The Dow futures
Speaker 3: were down more than six hundred points as trading got
Speaker 3: ready to open. And now the market is open and
Speaker 3: trading is down for the Dow four hundred ninety points
Speaker 3: and the Nasdaq is off three sixty nine.
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: But it's it's going to cost some real, real financial strain.
Speaker 2: There's no question tariffs, particularly a trade war, is going
Speaker 2: to be tough.
Speaker 1: It really is.
Speaker 4: Well handful of days in office, still a lot of shakeup.
Speaker 4: As we've been pointing out this morning, this time when
Speaker 4: it comes to DEI and the order from President Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: you have dozens of US Department of Education officials suddenly
Speaker 4: put on paid administrative administrative leave rather on Friday night.
Speaker 4: The employees worked in multiple offices across the agency, including
Speaker 4: civil rights attorneys. You have public relations I specialists, all
Speaker 4: kinds of folks that have been put on leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the union said.
Speaker 2: That even these people will help students defrauded by colleges.
Speaker 2: So it's a question of getting rid of fraud by
Speaker 2: getting rid of the people who.
Speaker 1: Are trying to get rid of fraud. It's a little complicated.
Speaker 2: Although the administration said the leave placement is not being
Speaker 2: done for any disciplinary purpose, but was pursuant to that
Speaker 2: executive order.
Speaker 1: So no one is accused of any wrongdoing.
Speaker 2: It's a question they were involved in programs that the
Speaker 2: executive order has now said are gone.
Speaker 3: Ooh oh, say, can you you see Canadians booing the
Speaker 3: USA fans at a Toronto Raptors game. Continued A. Well,
Speaker 3: they're calling it an emerging trend of booing national anthem
Speaker 3: singers at sporting events. Similar reactions broke out at NHL
Speaker 3: games on Saturday night in Ottawa, Ontario and Calgary, Alberta,
Speaker 3: hours after President Trump made his announcement that threats would
Speaker 3: be imposed against Canada.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Now here's the question is of all the games that
Speaker 2: you can boo of sporting events, why would you based
Speaker 2: on the EI orders, et cetera, why would you boo
Speaker 2: the Star Spangled banner at a hockey game when all.
Speaker 1: The players are white? What does that have to do
Speaker 1: with A because there's no DEI, there's.
Speaker 4: No inclusion, that tariffs.
Speaker 1: I missed that, okay, got it? Okay.
Speaker 2: I just thought it was a question of, you know,
Speaker 2: DI and inclusion and diversity, and there is no diversity.
Speaker 2: There is no inclusion in hockey games. No.
Speaker 4: There was a bunch of Latinos there booing the ice.
Speaker 1: That's because it's white.
Speaker 4: No, because it's icy ice.
Speaker 2: Oh, I thought they were doing the ice itself because
Speaker 2: it's white.
Speaker 4: I know, ic ice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that works.
Speaker 4: Immigration and oh.
Speaker 2: Okay, not the okay, I got that. I thought it
Speaker 2: was the cold. Never mind, I was off on a
Speaker 2: handle tangent.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's just water.
Speaker 4: The odds, what are the odds? All right? Parts of gosh,
Speaker 4: you know what, so much confusion going on. Parts of
Speaker 4: the Pacific Coast Highway reopened Sunday. You have the Mayor's
Speaker 4: office coming out really pushing this, and then there's this
Speaker 4: three mile stretch that's still closed and it caused some confusion.
Speaker 4: So apparently people can get through the Malibu area area,
Speaker 4: they just can't go through PCH all the way unless
Speaker 4: they have that, you know, resident access pass or a
Speaker 4: contractor's access pass, just in.
Speaker 2: Case you want to put a tent up on your
Speaker 2: on the piece of land that used to be your home.
Speaker 4: Man, I can't even imagine. Have you seen those pictures.
Speaker 2: It's just people go through and they're going through what
Speaker 2: I mean, they're looking for rings, They're looking for something
Speaker 2: that's some tiny memento.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you. I don't know why, but I'm affected.
Speaker 4: I know the Palisades and I've been out there, of course,
Speaker 4: but Alta Dina Man. That just I don't know if
Speaker 4: it's the age of the homes and the history of
Speaker 4: that area.
Speaker 1: Also because it's a it's a there's a lot of
Speaker 1: politics or well, I'm not going to say observe politics.
Speaker 1: I've got to say the accusation.
Speaker 2: There were politics involved there, and that is alta. Dina
Speaker 2: was a mixed race primarily in many cases, entire little
Speaker 2: neighborhoods were Black families that have been there for generations
Speaker 2: that got nailed in terms of the response far more
Speaker 2: than the Palisades. So there is an argument there, although
Speaker 2: you know the Palisades were wiped out too, so it
Speaker 2: almost matter.
Speaker 4: It's the history of it's all lost and they get it,
Speaker 4: but it's the history about the DNA and those old homes.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's one of the few black communities.
Speaker 2: It's like Baldwin Hills that is traditionally African American where
Speaker 2: it's you know, African Americans were not welcome in Beverly
Speaker 2: Hills or the San Frano Valley or parts of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: I mean it used to be a very racist place
Speaker 2: southern California where these black neighborhoods were limited to Black
Speaker 2: people were limited to black neighborhoods African Americans, and this
Speaker 2: is wiped out and it's a big, big part of history.
Speaker 1: Palisades are not history.
Speaker 2: Palisades are just well, a bunch of people that have
Speaker 2: a bunch of money that bought great houses.
Speaker 1: There's not real history in the Palisades.
Speaker 4: That's my point. It's just I mean, it's all but
Speaker 4: yet just the history. Yeah, I tend to agree with that.
Speaker 4: I tend to agree.
Speaker 3: Panama kind of admits it was breaking the rules. Panama's
Speaker 3: president reiterated yesterday during a meeting with Marco Rubio that
Speaker 3: they're not giving up the canal. That's not up for
Speaker 3: debate because you know Trump's been talking about it. Hey,
Speaker 3: we might take it back. But President Raoul Molino said
Speaker 3: that Panama would not renew a twenty seventeen memorandum of
Speaker 3: understanding to join China's overseas development initiative known as the
Speaker 3: Belt and Road, and also suggested that they just might
Speaker 3: end that deal with China little early.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting.
Speaker 2: First of all, the accusation that the Chinese control the canal,
Speaker 2: they don't. Chinese have two ports, and other countries, including
Speaker 2: United States, also have ports. Along the canal because it's
Speaker 2: obviously a huge shipping areas, one of the world's premier
Speaker 2: shipping areas. Chinese are one of many countries that have ports.
Speaker 2: The fact, the accusation that the United States is being
Speaker 2: charged more for its shipping through the canal, that's not true.
Speaker 1: According to Panama.
Speaker 2: According to the canal, there's a bridge that is going
Speaker 2: across the canal that is being built by the Chinese,
Speaker 2: and that's what the Amy is referring to, is that
Speaker 2: they're going to not continue on or will halt the
Speaker 2: continuation of that arrangement. So it's one of those things
Speaker 2: where the president says and.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's ridiculous, is ridiculous, look at what he's doing.
Speaker 1: And you know what a lot of it is working.
