Speaker 1: Yeah that's true. But all right here we go, guys,
Speaker 1: it's time for handle on the news on this Taco Tuesday,
Speaker 1: June third, with Amy, Neil and me lead story. It's
Speaker 1: a like cute. Oh the man I suspected of throwing
Speaker 1: molotov cocktails in an act of terrorism during that pro
Speaker 1: Israeli demonstration in Boulder, injuring twelve people, injuring them by
Speaker 1: burning them, throwing gasoline on them, throwing the Molotov cocktails,
Speaker 1: and then igniting them. He's been charged sixteen counts of
Speaker 1: attempt at first degree murder. He admitted he did that.
Speaker 1: He said he researched making Molotov cocktails on YouTube, purchased
Speaker 1: the ingredients, constructed them, and went ahead and threw them,
Speaker 1: telling the police I wanted to kill all Zionist people
Speaker 1: and wish they were all dead. All right, Well, he's
Speaker 1: going to be convicted. By the way. You know who
Speaker 1: invented the Molotov cocktail?
Speaker 5: Molentov?
Speaker 1: No, mister cocktail.
Speaker 5: Here's stupid.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you very much. Moving on.
Speaker 6: Just like the old Ario Speedwagon song time for Me
Speaker 6: to Fly, or even Steve Miller bands fly like an eagle,
Speaker 6: Sonny has stretched her wings and soared above the skies
Speaker 6: over Big Bear Lake. The eagle made her first flight
Speaker 6: late yesterday morning at ten forty six am, and her
Speaker 6: little sister Gizmo is still in the nest, but she's
Speaker 6: flapping away. She could fledge or fly away from the
Speaker 6: nest at any time, and Sonny made it about two
Speaker 6: hundred yards and landed in a tree that her parents,
Speaker 6: Jackie and Shadow hang out in when they're not in
Speaker 6: the nest.
Speaker 3: So she was with them last night.
Speaker 6: And everybody looks to be doing good, but super exciting
Speaker 6: for everybody like me who's been watching these eagles since
Speaker 6: they were just little eggs.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that fifty percent of the time, when
Speaker 1: the fledging fledgling leaves the nest, it does not come
Speaker 1: back to that spot, though the parents are with them
Speaker 1: for a few months.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because they got to teach him how to hunt
Speaker 6: and that kind of stuff. So there's a good chance
Speaker 6: that Sonny will come back to the nest, but there's
Speaker 6: also a good chance she won't. So we'll have to
Speaker 6: wait and see.
Speaker 1: Do you know, And you're the expert, this is your wheelhouse,
Speaker 1: you're the expert. Do the parents still feed Yes, the birds,
Speaker 1: I mean you chew it all up and hocking in
Speaker 1: their mouths.
Speaker 6: They don't chew it up there. They bring the kids.
Speaker 6: They've been bringing them small fish and then they just
Speaker 6: go to town with it. So as they are flying around,
Speaker 6: they'll continue to bring sunny fish and then they'll keep
Speaker 6: feeding gizmo, of course in the nest until she's ready
Speaker 6: to take off.
Speaker 1: Okay, by the way, this national news is covering this
Speaker 1: every night.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I thought news last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it's really become a very big deal. All right,
Speaker 1: So go ahead and take a break. We'll come back
Speaker 1: and we will continue on with Handle on the News
Speaker 1: on this Taco Tuesday, June third, Taco Tuesday, more Handle
Speaker 1: on the News with Amy neil Me.
Speaker 4: There's just no reasoning with some people. Russia told Ukraine
Speaker 4: at peace talks just yesterday that it's only going to
Speaker 4: agree to end the war if Kiev gives up big
Speaker 4: new chunks of territory and accepts limits on the size
Speaker 4: of their army. And you've got Ukraine repeatedly rejected the
Speaker 4: Russian conditions, and because they say, listen, that's basically a surrendering.
Speaker 1: It is it is, And the other one is it
Speaker 1: cannot it can never be part of NATO. And the
Speaker 1: only way piece will happen is if the other NATO
Speaker 1: countries in writing agree that Ukraine will never be part
Speaker 1: of NATO.
Speaker 5: What's your guess how's this going to end?
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I have absolutely no idea. I
Speaker 1: don't think Ukraine is going to cave at this point.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a war of attrition. This could
Speaker 1: go on, much like what happened with the ira and
Speaker 1: the movement for independence in Ireland. It was seventy years
Speaker 1: before they were able to sit down and cut a deal.
Speaker 1: Seventy years.
Speaker 4: So, but don't doesn't this weaken Russia's military?
Speaker 1: And it does. It does. However, North Korea is sending
Speaker 1: fast amounts of weaponry. I mean it's literally supporting and
Speaker 1: holding up the entire Russian military. If it weren't for
Speaker 1: North Korea, Russia would it would collapse very quickly. It's
Speaker 1: a military campaign.
Speaker 4: But so let's say the world goes to war with Russia,
Speaker 4: you don't have to have North Korea back then.
Speaker 1: Well, they'll certainly get marms. Whether they're gonna go boots
Speaker 1: on the ground, who knows. Who knows.
Speaker 3: I thought that they already sent some troops to Russia.
Speaker 1: They did send troop fifteen thousand, But it's a big
Speaker 1: difference between sending fifteen thousand troops and going to full
Speaker 1: scale war. That's the problem. It's a mess. It is
Speaker 1: a mess. Putin This is single handedly one guy who
Speaker 1: made this decision one much like the tariffs. One guy
Speaker 1: woke up in the morning and decided to do this. Yes,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 6: I was just going to say, speaking of NATO may
Speaker 6: be on the table for some of the NATO countries.
Speaker 6: NATO members say they are committed to Ukrainian membership in NATO.
Speaker 6: Leaders of Poland, Romania, Lithuania said it following following a
Speaker 6: summit of the B nine and Nordic countries. President Trump,
Speaker 6: of course has come out saying that prior to US
Speaker 6: support for Ukraine's bid to join NATO was part of
Speaker 6: the cause of the war, and has said that Ukraine
Speaker 6: will not get membership.
Speaker 1: The problem is Ukraine will never get membership because you've
Speaker 1: got Turkey erdigon that has made it pretty clear that
Speaker 1: he doesn't want NATO to have Ukraine in it. Twenty
Speaker 1: eight countries in NATO, any one country can blackball. You
Speaker 1: need all the countries in NATO to okay a new entry.
Speaker 1: And that's the problem. We go back to neil as
Speaker 1: this thing is never going to end. That's the problem.
Speaker 4: Interesting response here at the very least, David Richardson, the
Speaker 4: acting head of FEMA, set at the end of a
Speaker 4: phone call uh, that he was unaware that there is
Speaker 4: a hurricane hurricane season, and of course the Atlantic hurricane
Speaker 4: season began on the first and last through November.
Speaker 5: People don't know if he was joking or not joking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't know. I mean, yeah, no one knows.
Speaker 1: I think that he wasn't joking when he asked, what's
Speaker 1: a hurricane?
Speaker 4: And and why isn't it's akane?
Speaker 1: Sure? Why not?
Speaker 5: Why don't we have the woke people have to make
Speaker 5: it a female?
Speaker 1: He's had a FEMA, Go figure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a it's a It's a strange statement, no
Speaker 4: matter what, even if you know, you can't even cover
Speaker 4: it with a joke because that's in bad taste.
Speaker 6: It's just I'm sure all the people are laughing on
Speaker 6: the on the East coast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, closer to a cut.
Speaker 6: Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Austin Goulesby said he thinks
Speaker 6: the US Central Bank is going to be able to
Speaker 6: lower short term borrowing costs after what he says is
Speaker 6: the dirt in the air of uncertainty from tariff policies
Speaker 6: gets cleared up.
Speaker 3: He said, it looks pretty good. They're looking at a
Speaker 3: couple of things.
Speaker 6: The dual mandate is that they look for full employment
Speaker 6: and price stability, And he said, so far, the labor
Speaker 6: market looks strong and inflation is down. It was up
Speaker 6: just two point one percent in April from a year earlier,
Speaker 6: which is close to the target of two percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm caught up in this teriff thing. I
Speaker 1: report every day because I have a personal involvement. We
Speaker 1: have a shipment coming in from China of some goods
Speaker 1: on the seas right now. It was a twenty five
Speaker 1: percent tariff which we were prepared to pay. Tomorrow it
Speaker 1: goes to fifty percent because that was announced a few
Speaker 1: days ago. So you know, there's the gamble. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of uncertainty in the air for sure. So
Speaker 1: what we're doing is we have no choice. We have
Speaker 1: to cut down on the quality of our cookwar, which
Speaker 1: I don't know how less quality we can possibly sell it,
Speaker 1: because it's already of the lowest possible quality that we
Speaker 1: could manufacture this stuff. So I don't know where to
Speaker 1: go from this point.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the skillet looks like a Jiffy pop.
Speaker 1: Well, it's made out of paper mache, is what it is.
Speaker 4: All right, It's all fun and games until somebody breaks
Speaker 4: a nose or gets a traumatic brain injury. You have
Speaker 4: what they call gladiator fights happening at the Los Padrino's
Speaker 4: juvenile Hall. And this means that La County is poised
Speaker 4: to pay nearly two point seven million dollars to a
Speaker 4: teenager who got a beating and a half by a
Speaker 4: handful of juveniles while officials like probation officers stood and watched.
Speaker 1: And they're joking and laughing and clearly having the time
Speaker 1: of their life watching what they call these gladiator fights.
Speaker 1: You know, I can understand what a bunch of sleeves
Speaker 1: balls these guys are. I get that. What I don't
Speaker 1: get is how stupid they are. What do they think
Speaker 1: it's not being videoed?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's unseason.
Speaker 1: What is going through What is going through their mind?
Speaker 1: It's like people rob banks? What are you guys' nuts?
Speaker 1: There are sixty eight cameras on you you know, go
Speaker 1: rob a bank. I don't understand what what goes through
Speaker 1: these people, these guys. And I guess it is women too.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's all men in the isn't. I have
Speaker 1: no idea what goes through their mind?
Speaker 5: It's crazy And Tania Brooks could be Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so she was part of it. I guess anyway,
Speaker 1: they've they've obviously been fired, and I'm assuming that there
Speaker 1: are all kinds of disciplinary and maybe charges being filed
Speaker 1: against them. I wouldn't be surprised. But La County gets
Speaker 1: to pay two point seven million, as you just reported.
Speaker 1: Isn't that special? All right, let's take a break. We're
Speaker 1: coming back and more. Handle on the news. More more,
Speaker 1: more handle on the news. Amy neil Me.
Speaker 6: Deal or no deal. Well, it's looking like no deal.
Speaker 6: A senior Iranian official is saying that a new nuclear
Speaker 6: deal proposal presented to Tehran in recent days is incoherent
Speaker 6: and disjointed. CNN is also saying that the US has
Speaker 6: shifted position on the issue of uranium issue enrichment in
Speaker 6: its new proposal.
Speaker 3: Sannon is saying that.
Speaker 6: It suggests the US could invest in Iran's civilian nuclear
Speaker 6: power program and join a group that would oversee the
Speaker 6: enrichment of low level uranium inside Iran. Trump has responded
Speaker 6: to that, and he said that is absolutely not the case.
Speaker 6: He said, there's no uranium enrichment, So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here is. Of course, the world is scare, particularly
Speaker 1: Middle East Israel, particularly that Iran is going to have
Speaker 1: the bomb, create a nuclear weapon in the meantime. And
Speaker 1: I don't understand this. I guess I do, because here
Speaker 1: you have iron falling apart. I mean, the economy is
Speaker 1: just collapsing in Iran. Their currency is basically worthless, and boy,
Speaker 1: they're just dead set to get that bomb. So in
Speaker 1: the meantime, you'd think that it would join the Community
Speaker 1: of Nations. You would think that that's more important than
Speaker 1: it is supporting these terrorist groups and going against Israel.
Speaker 1: And I don't care if they hate Israel or anti Zionist.
Speaker 1: I mean, they can have whatever philosophy they want, but
Speaker 1: at the expense of their own people that that is
Speaker 1: always a choice that I have a hard time understanding.
Speaker 1: It's like Hambas, the destructure, destruction of Israel and terrorism
Speaker 1: is far more important than the people of Gaza. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I really don't. You know what point,
Speaker 1: you know, go enjoy your politics, but really, are your
Speaker 1: people that little, that little import And that's what's happening
Speaker 1: with Ron Also Gold on my ear when she was
Speaker 1: prime minister, and she was Prime minister in nineteen seventy two,
Speaker 1: when the homekeeper war started. She said, probably the best
Speaker 1: line to describe what's going on. We won't have peace
Speaker 1: until they That is, the Arab countries love their children
Speaker 1: more than they hate us. That just said it all
Speaker 1: to me. All right, moving on truth, it is all right.
Speaker 4: Sanctuary cities these jurisdictions that basically say law enforcement, our
Speaker 4: law enforcement is not going to assist federal immigration officials
Speaker 4: when it comes to immigration related operations.
Speaker 5: So you have the.
Speaker 4: Department of Homeland Security putting up a list of these
Speaker 4: sanctuary cities and saying, hey, these are We're going to
Speaker 4: go after them because they are not supporting, you know,
Speaker 4: federal laws. And then you had a bunch of backlash.
Speaker 4: People people were looking at it. People in these different
Speaker 4: jurisdictions were like, hey, why do you include us? We
Speaker 4: don't we don't believe in that. We don't, we don't
Speaker 4: do that here, and they get you know, so they
Speaker 4: started getting pushed back.
Speaker 5: And they pulled down the list for now. Hello, yeah, no.
Speaker 1: I'm here picking up my dog. It's just said hello.
Speaker 1: Just comes in in the morning and says hello.
Speaker 4: If your dog said hello, we're going we're gonna go
Speaker 4: sell tickets.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, it's a little one comes in in
Speaker 1: the morning and just says your replacement. Yeah, and here,
Speaker 1: by the way, a quick comment here because you expect
Speaker 1: me to make a comment. It federal law is being
Speaker 1: is being followed. Uh. The sanctuary cities are not stopping
Speaker 1: federal agents from picking people up. They're just saying we
Speaker 1: are not going to cooperate and give you names and
Speaker 1: point out where they are. That's not violation, at least
Speaker 1: that's what they're saying.
Speaker 4: How is that not violation because it's that as an
Speaker 4: individual that had information about a crime, I could get popped.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if you have to
Speaker 1: give the police information. I don't know if you have
Speaker 1: to point out where someone is, you know, I don't
Speaker 1: know on that one. I should know if the police
Speaker 1: come up to you and go where is do you
Speaker 1: know where that person is? And you just say I
Speaker 1: don't want to tell you.
Speaker 3: Let's call a handle on the law and find out
Speaker 3: if it's legal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, handle on the Law will probably answer that question
Speaker 1: just the way it was answered. Now. See here's the
Speaker 1: difference between handle.
Speaker 4: On the law. What about aiding and a bedding So
Speaker 4: that's different.
Speaker 1: That's aiding and a bedding. This is not hiding. This
Speaker 1: is just a failure. I don't think so. I don't
Speaker 1: think so. Here's the difference between handle and the law
Speaker 1: and what I say here Here I will say I
Speaker 1: don't know the answer on handle on the law. I
Speaker 1: will make it up. Ah, all right, let's take a
Speaker 1: break and we're coming back. Had tacos last night, Actually
Speaker 1: it was Taco Monday for me at home tonight. No tacos.
Speaker 5: What a rebel?
Speaker 1: There? You are back? We go. Yes, we finished Handle
Speaker 1: on the news on a Taco Tuesday with Amy and
Speaker 1: Neil and me.
Speaker 6: Not exactly the vacation they were expecting. There was a
Speaker 6: massive eruption at Mount Etna, which forced tourists to just
Speaker 6: run down the hill to get away from it. A
Speaker 6: plume of high temperature gases, ash and rocks spewed several
Speaker 6: miles into the air, actually several kilometers, so that might
Speaker 6: be a mile or two into the air. Italian authorities
Speaker 6: said that it happened, and there were guided tour groups
Speaker 6: in the area, and the people who were there said,
Speaker 6: thank god we had guided tours because they knew how
Speaker 6: to get us out of there. So they were all
Speaker 6: able to kind of clear out the area and then
Speaker 6: the eruption petered out late in the evening.
Speaker 1: I was just there a few weeks ago. I was
Speaker 1: at Mount Etna and I had a tour guide had
Speaker 1: a tour and he's a tour guide or with the
Speaker 1: rest of the group. You climbed to Mount Edna and
Speaker 1: it's a hike, and he asked me, do you want
Speaker 1: to climb? I said, not a chance, just point to it.
Speaker 1: So my visit to pound Mount Atna was following the
Speaker 1: guide's finger, and there it is, there's Mount at net
Speaker 1: So I would have been safe. But it's kind of
Speaker 1: a neat view watching this thing blow up, you know,
Speaker 1: crispy Italians, you know, and tourists.
Speaker 5: I don't think anyone was hurt.
Speaker 1: Were they Nope, I don't think. So they got they
Speaker 1: got the hell out of there. And usually it's when
Speaker 1: uh these explosions, people don't die of the heat or
Speaker 1: being covered with you know, molten rock, it's because that
Speaker 1: toxic fume stuff that just kills everybody, like POMPEII or herculeum.
Speaker 1: They figure that people died not because of the dust
Speaker 1: that came you know, the ash, but because of the
Speaker 1: toxic gas there was no way to escape, all right.
Speaker 4: Walt Disney Company another deep round of layoffs yesterday. Several
Speaker 4: hundred Disney employees in the US and abroad. Their jobs
Speaker 4: were being eliminated, and that's what they were told, increasingly
Speaker 4: difficult economic environment. And this is for you know, traditional
Speaker 4: television type stuff. So it's hits film, television, marketing teams,
Speaker 4: publicity casting development, as well as corporate financial operations. So
Speaker 4: this is just about what three months after the company acts,
Speaker 4: two hundred workers, including some ABC news people in New
Speaker 4: York and all kinds of things.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's not a good time to get hired
Speaker 1: at insert name of company here.
Speaker 5: It's a rough time all around.
Speaker 1: And at the same time, employment is full was considered
Speaker 1: full employment in this country, and I don't get it
Speaker 1: because I have people that are looking for work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, it's it's somewhat determined.
Speaker 4: That's why that test is no longer any good. This
Speaker 4: is during the Biden administration. It's like the economy is
Speaker 4: doing great, well, no people at work, but it's part
Speaker 4: time or you know, it's not the same.
Speaker 1: All right, that resonates.
Speaker 6: Okay, the DOJ has put schools on notice. The Department
Speaker 6: of Justice has sent out letters to school districts in
Speaker 6: California warning that they will face legal trouble if they
Speaker 6: don't break from the state and bar transgender athletes from
Speaker 6: competing in girls' sports.
Speaker 1: Give me a break on this one. How many incidents
Speaker 1: of transgender women are actually competing and have one across
Speaker 1: the country in the last month, Amy, If you had
Speaker 1: to count, what would be the number?
Speaker 3: Well, I know of one.
Speaker 1: Okay. It has become a national issue to the point
Speaker 1: where the administration of the Department of Justice is threatening
Speaker 1: to withhold funding from schools takeaway tax exempt status because
Speaker 1: of this. This is one of the most critical things
Speaker 1: that this government has to deal with. You know, at
Speaker 1: what point is there more important stuff? Now? You can
Speaker 1: have people in the neighborhood get upset, you can have
Speaker 1: the board of governors of a school, the regents rise
Speaker 1: up and say we don't like it. But this is
Speaker 1: national import That's my point here. This is a huge story, right, Okay, fine?
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 5: This is an interesting one.
Speaker 4: What you might see as a cold case is being
Speaker 4: opened up again. Police investigating the disappearance of a British
Speaker 4: toddler eighteen years ago, and they said. The three year
Speaker 4: old disappeared from her bed while on vacation with her
Speaker 4: family at a resort in southern Portugal in two thousand
Speaker 4: and seven, and she wasn't seen since. So they do
Speaker 4: have a suspect who happens to he's a German national,
Speaker 4: and he happens to be serving seven year prison sentence
Speaker 4: in Germany for raping a seventy two year old woman
Speaker 4: back in two thousand and five. But they are opening
Speaker 4: this backup and searching again.
Speaker 1: Well, let's do one more. Let's go to fifteen because
Speaker 1: there is a really interesting spin on this that I
Speaker 1: want to share with you. Neil, do this one, okay?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 4: In New Orleans, they celebrated the return and burial of
Speaker 4: the remains of nineteen African American people whose skulls had
Speaker 4: been sent to Germany where they did this racist research
Speaker 4: practices in the nineteenth century. So the skulls came back
Speaker 4: and they put them in their final resting place, the
Speaker 4: Hurricane Katrina Memorial. They had a multi faith memorial service
Speaker 4: there and just overall opportunity to recognize and commemorate the
Speaker 4: human of these individuals.
Speaker 1: These were skulls, nineteen of them of African Americans who
Speaker 1: died in natural death, who then were sent to Germany
Speaker 1: for their eugenics study. Here's the here is the spin,
Speaker 1: the historical spin, the study of eugenics, which is of

Speaker 1: skulls and femurs and to so look at this, they're different,
Speaker 1: they're inferior, they're sub people. And that's started in the
Speaker 1: United States, which is stunning, just stunning, and people don't
Speaker 1: know that. They think it's all Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany
Speaker 1: relied on what was going on in the United States
Speaker 1: in the late eighteen hundreds. Okay, now let's take a break.
