Speaker 3: so he can go to Disneyland.
Speaker 4: Which my wife and I had a day date.
Speaker 3: I understand you do that a lot because you have
Speaker 3: to make those tickets worthwhile those six thousand dollars tickets
Speaker 3: per person for a year worth the money that you pay.
Speaker 7: I will tell you I would pay the entrance fee
Speaker 7: to walk down Main Street, go to the Little Red

Speaker 4: Savory was Kno's nickname in prison.
Speaker 2: Actually, yes, very good. In any case, you have to
Speaker 2: have mustard. That's it.
Speaker 3: That's certainly my opinion. In any case, So off to Disneyland,
Speaker 3: he goes.
Speaker 2: You know what you do.
Speaker 3: It's like going to an all you can eat buffet. Uh,
Speaker 3: you have to eat so much to make it worthwhile.
Speaker 7: No, it's always just walking up there holding my lady's hand.
Speaker 7: Are you kidding me? Just walk the part with hand
Speaker 7: in hand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the best.

Speaker 3: Okay, And and good morning morning.
Speaker 2: Oh are you wearing a KFI something?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Wow, oh yeah, I didn't you know what. I don't
Speaker 3: know where those are.
Speaker 4: It's my only thing I got, you know, I've got
Speaker 4: to ask for.
Speaker 3: They have the I Heart the Green I Heart hoodies,
Speaker 3: which are really neat.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get hold of one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just go to the website and buy it.
Speaker 4: They'll give you a link to buy.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, excuse me, what the hell are you talking about?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You can buy whatever merch you want.
Speaker 3: Bill, Yeah, okay, that like this is going to happen
Speaker 3: in this lifetime. Okay, guys, let's do it. It is
Speaker 3: time for on a Friday for handle on the news,
Speaker 3: Amy King, Neil and Me lead story.
Speaker 2: Something's wrong that rest all right?
Speaker 3: We are going to spend some time talking about what
Speaker 3: happened at Reagan National Airport, that horrific mid air collision
Speaker 3: and the rescue and well they're still looking for bodies unfortunately,
Speaker 3: recovery and the blame is going to fly a couple
Speaker 3: of things that they're looking at that the staffing at
Speaker 3: the control tower was quote not normal than I did
Speaker 3: a collision, except maybe it was. It was one one
Speaker 3: air traffic controller doing the job for two. But it's
Speaker 3: not not because there was a shortage that night.
Speaker 2: Is because the traffic was relatively light.
Speaker 3: And it is not abnormal for the senior for they
Speaker 3: had the senior person there to say, you know, go home.
Speaker 2: Traffic is really light.
Speaker 3: At the same time, the control tower has been understaffed
Speaker 3: for years. It's supposed to have thirty people. It has
Speaker 3: nineteen that are working there.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 3: We have to figure out whether or not it was
Speaker 3: the lack of the controller or lack of the number
Speaker 3: of controllers, or was it just straight out the fault
Speaker 3: of one of the pilots. At this point, it looks
Speaker 3: like from what we're hearing, it's probably the helicopter, and
Speaker 3: I'm just guessing we're going in that direction.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, Donald Trump yesterday.
Speaker 3: Oh God bless him. I mean, we're into a whole
Speaker 3: new world. It's become surreal.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: He and JD.
Speaker 3: Vance blamed the DEI programs and the woke programs that
Speaker 3: are going that are happening in government as that was
Speaker 3: the fault. That's why this crash happened.
Speaker 2: I mean, it is.
Speaker 3: Come on, guys, Amy, Amy's gonna report this morning on
Speaker 3: some news that just broke. It turns out that the
Speaker 3: Democrats kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.
Speaker 2: And we are not.
Speaker 6: Going to be that.
Speaker 7: You got You've got to be careful. You can say
Speaker 7: what you want about me. You but Amy's actually a
Speaker 7: real professional, so she don't professional what journalist?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, got it?
Speaker 4: Handle. You know what's weird?
Speaker 7: I know nothing about aviation, you know, I like logic
Speaker 7: and stuff.
Speaker 4: And I watched the video.
Speaker 7: Did you see how long it seemed as the helicopter
Speaker 7: approached the plane?
Speaker 3: All you saw is the last From what I saw,
Speaker 3: I saw a longer version, did you Well, they didn't see.
Speaker 2: They didn't see each other. From what we understand.
Speaker 3: Yesterday we had our you know, KFI aviation expert with
Speaker 3: us explaining what was going on. And there is air
Speaker 3: collision devices, not so much on the helicopter. There was
Speaker 3: some doubt about that. Certainly on the airplane, but they
Speaker 3: don't work below seven hundred feet and this was at
Speaker 3: four hundred feet.
Speaker 4: Interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really it's fascinating.
Speaker 4: What's going on with the circumstances of crap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna obviously parse this and find
Speaker 3: out what happened. And one of the one of the
Speaker 3: notes is that the control tower asked the helicopter do
Speaker 3: you see this airplane? And the helicopter pilots said yes,
Speaker 3: but it could have been another plane that he was referring.
Speaker 4: To, So they asked that. Why wouldn't they just say.
Speaker 2: Well, I think they asked that on visual. I think
Speaker 2: do you see them?
Speaker 3: Hey move, we're going to Well the air traffic controller
Speaker 3: says you got to move. But who the hell knows
Speaker 3: at this point other than the Democrats did it. And
Speaker 3: it's the die program that is at full DEI, right, DIY.
Speaker 2: Do it yourself. I always get them all confused.
Speaker 6: So apparently flights every thirty to forty five seconds just
Speaker 6: isn't enough. The number of flights at Reagan National Airport,
Speaker 6: where that mid air collision happened on Wednesday night, it
Speaker 6: has been capped because it's so congested. They do say
Speaker 6: that there are flights literally every thirty five to forty
Speaker 6: five seconds, either taking off or landing, but lawmakers have
Speaker 6: been lobbying to get more flights in and out because
Speaker 6: it's super convenient for them. It's a lot closer to
Speaker 6: fly into Reagan National than to go in to Dulles
Speaker 6: International Airport.
Speaker 2: That's lovely seven twenty.
Speaker 3: We're going to get through go into that and expand
Speaker 3: on that issue.
Speaker 7: Seven So it's nothing new here in the Southland after
Speaker 7: rains to have a beach closure, but we've never heard
Speaker 7: them to be closed indefinitely. Recent rainfall and all the
Speaker 7: debris that came from the fire zones and prompted Los
Speaker 7: Angeles County Public Health officials to issue an advisory that
Speaker 7: closed several miles of the coastline from Malibu to Plia
Speaker 7: del Rey. But in addition to justice advisory, once that
Speaker 7: advisory is over. The beach will still be closed indefinitely.
Speaker 7: They're looking at carcinogenic chemicals, toxins, all kinds of stuff
Speaker 7: that not only goes into the water but also the sand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the big one, man, that's the big one,
Speaker 3: because what happens is the crop that goes in the
Speaker 3: water will dissipate at some point. That's not an issue
Speaker 3: because it's a big ocean and they mix it up.
Speaker 3: It's like a giant blender the sand. It becomes a
Speaker 3: superfund site, a big one, and up and down the
Speaker 3: coast they're going to have to deal with the chemicals,
Speaker 3: the toxicity that's gone into the sand that is not
Speaker 3: going to be washed away in the water.
Speaker 4: How could you even clean it?
Speaker 3: I mean, what would they They go down, Well, whenever
Speaker 3: you have a toxic you know, super fun they go
Speaker 3: down eight or ten feet, clean that up, take out
Speaker 3: the basically the top part of it, and bring in
Speaker 3: new soil that is not toxic from construction sites or whatever,
Speaker 3: and compact it down. And I think that's one of
Speaker 3: the things they do. Form my understanding, it's no small deal.
Speaker 3: And then they cart off the toxic soil and put
Speaker 3: it somewhere, hopefully your house and not mine.
Speaker 6: Oh right, Gabby Gabbards Gabby Tulci. Gabbard's nomination could be
Speaker 6: in danger. She was before a Senate committee yesterday. Of course,
Speaker 6: Trump is chapter her to be the Director of National Intelligence,
Speaker 6: and during confirmation hearings, she was pressed by Republican centers
Speaker 6: on whether Edward Snowden was a trader, and she acknowledged
Speaker 6: that he harmed US national security, but she refused to
Speaker 6: say that he was a trader.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and these are the Republicans that went nuts when
Speaker 3: Snowden did what he did. She called him a whistleblower.
Speaker 3: She gave him kudos. Also, keep in mind she's had
Speaker 3: a couple of fun dinners with Bashar Asad that they're
Speaker 3: probably going to get into and she won't do it.
Speaker 2: She won't do it.
Speaker 3: And when she was asked questions like did Trump lose
Speaker 3: or win the election, she said that she doesn't want
Speaker 3: to talk about the past.
Speaker 2: She's focused on the future.
Speaker 3: Boy, you talk about deflection and how we can prevent
Speaker 3: something like this, which was a good thing in her mind,
Speaker 3: the release of all of those secrets. Somehow it's positive,
Speaker 3: but she doesn't want it to happen again.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's how could it be?
Speaker 4: How could have harmed the US and be positive?
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a good point, and she admitted that it
Speaker 3: harmed the US, but he still was a hero in
Speaker 3: doing that because he was a whistleblower. And she didn't
Speaker 3: retract from that. She said, is he She was asked,
Speaker 3: is he a trader? Why don't you admit he was
Speaker 3: a trader and released information that truly puts security at risk,
Speaker 3: names of US foreign operatives, to put them at risk,
Speaker 3: She wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Do it, and that may cost her the young the nomination.
Speaker 3: I mean, just because this is yeah, we're talking US
Speaker 3: security here, you know, it's national security.
Speaker 2: And the guy basically was a mole.
Speaker 3: He was a swy for the Russians when he let
Speaker 3: go of this stuff. Well, although I said, real quickly,
Speaker 3: although the Pentagon papers were released, same thing about the
Speaker 3: war in Vietnam, and everybody was a hero in that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well yeah, who decides, Yeah, well history decides.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But it also fades a little bit at that point.
Speaker 7: And you know, I know you're thinking that everyone is
Speaker 7: in lockstep, but we're starting to see the cracks.
Speaker 4: Cash battel.
Speaker 7: President Donald Trump's nominee for a ten year term as
Speaker 7: Director of the FBI, distanced himself, surprisingly from Trump's sweeping
Speaker 7: pardon of January sixth rioters, telling the Senate Judiciary Committee
Speaker 7: he didn't think violent Rio rioters who assaulted law enforcement
Speaker 7: should deserve a break. He went on to say, I've
Speaker 7: always rejected any violence against law enforcement and have included
Speaker 7: in that group specifically addressed any violence against law enforcement
Speaker 7: on January sixth.
Speaker 2: So here is the question.
Speaker 3: Usually everybody that Trump nominates or has anything to do
Speaker 3: with is in lockstep with him.
Speaker 2: And here is Patel, who has some issues too, by
Speaker 2: the way, and what the hearings, He says some crazy.
Speaker 3: Stuff, and here he is directly contradicting what the president
Speaker 3: has done. Now a nominee directly contradicting what the President's done,
Speaker 3: and the loyalty, the fealty that Trump demands. I ask you,
Speaker 3: one of two things are going to happen. Trump is
Speaker 3: either going to say he disagrees with me, and I'm
Speaker 3: okay with that because I want my cabinet to disagree.
Speaker 2: With me when they do, which I don't think is
Speaker 2: going to happen. Or he's going to be arrested. Which
Speaker 2: way you think it's going to go?
Speaker 7: I don't know, because he was pretty he said, I
Speaker 7: do not agree with the commutation.
Speaker 2: I understand he wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Expect it against the cop. It was the cops issue.
Speaker 3: Is what's really royaling. All the Republicans firm on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, good for him, he's the one. Uh,
Speaker 2: that's what it is. Even jd.
Speaker 3: Vance said that violent rioters should not be pardoned, and
Speaker 3: Trump did it. By the way, that was his first directive.
Speaker 3: His first order was pardoning January sixth the insurrectionists and
Speaker 3: took everybody for a loop because he had said it's
Speaker 3: going to be on a case by case basis, and
Speaker 3: it wasn't. It was a massive pardon with seven seven
Speaker 3: commutations and that's it. Commutations means you're still a felon.
Speaker 3: The conviction still stands. But if you're going to jail
Speaker 3: like that. What was that guy's who got twenty years
Speaker 3: of one of the the guy who planned it and
Speaker 3: brought weapons.
Speaker 2: Stuart. My memory goes on this one.
Speaker 4: Oh, was he the oath Keeper's guy? He founded the
Speaker 4: oath Keeper?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was it was seditious conspiracy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what he was, and that is a big one.
Speaker 3: He got twenty years for that, so he was commuted
Speaker 3: and he appeared behind Trump at a rally. You know,
Speaker 3: the people who are behind Trump are all the supporters.
Speaker 3: I mean, just it's crazy, Okay.
Speaker 6: Wasn't fireyed fabulous? The concert last Night happened at the
Speaker 6: key Of Forum and the Into It Dome, dozens of
Speaker 6: artists all to raise money for the wildfire victims in
Speaker 6: Pacific Palisades and the Altadena Pasadena area. Kicked off with
Speaker 6: Green Day. They sang Last Night on Earth and had
Speaker 6: a surprise appearance with Billie Eilish, who then came back
Speaker 6: later and performed and then their anthem Still Breathing. I
Speaker 6: thought the coolest part of it was when Billy Crystal
Speaker 6: came out to welcome everybody after Green Day played, and
Speaker 6: he was wearing the blue hoodie that he said he
Speaker 6: was wearing when he was evacuated from his home on
Speaker 6: January seventh, and that home burned down and he showed
Speaker 6: pictures of it. It was very moving. You could tell
Speaker 6: he was getting choked up and then still telling jokes.
Speaker 6: It was kind of a cool way to start the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Val came on Valentine came on yesterday and talked
Speaker 3: about it because hem seated along with Systney and he
Speaker 3: is on my FM the same time we are here,
Speaker 3: so I asked you to please don't.
Speaker 4: List your not your FM. It's all of our FM.
Speaker 2: Oh stop. It also about this.
Speaker 3: Did you notice how many covers these bands did? It
Speaker 3: was the covers of other songs that other people had
Speaker 3: had performed.
Speaker 2: I just found that interesting. I did well.
Speaker 4: That brings a sense of nostalgia and connection.
Speaker 3: And also the songs were more appropriate to what was
Speaker 3: going on and talking about, you know, the connection people have.
Speaker 4: It was good.
Speaker 2: I mean it was good.
Speaker 3: And they raised a cropload of money, as Valley yesterday
Speaker 3: said was going to happen.
Speaker 6: Well, they started off with Billy Crystal saying that who
Speaker 6: was it that donated a million dollars right off?
Speaker 2: Oh you two?
Speaker 6: You too donated a million bucks?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was matched.
Speaker 3: So we're going to see how many millions, tens of
Speaker 3: millions the amount of money that was raised.
Speaker 2: We should get that kind of information in the next
Speaker 2: day or two.
Speaker 7: All right, Senator Angela, is it also Brooke I don't know,
Speaker 7: democrat from Maryland? She questioned RFK Junior yesterday suggesting that
Speaker 7: black people should be on a different vaccine schedule than
Speaker 7: white people. Interesting, Kennedy said, we should not be giving
Speaker 7: black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to whites
Speaker 7: because their immune.
Speaker 4: System is better than ours.
Speaker 7: And this senator from Maryland, who is black, says, with
Speaker 7: all due respect, that is so dangerous. So this study
Speaker 7: apparently that he's quoting, this is the problem with getting
Speaker 7: your education from the internet. This study from a team
Speaker 7: at the Mayo Clinic looked at differences in immune responses
Speaker 7: to vaccination by race.
Speaker 2: And it's true according to this study, it's true.
Speaker 3: But although the researcher said, that doesn't mean we're going
Speaker 3: to change the amount of vaccine that we're going to
Speaker 3: put in there. You know, there's some as that doesn't
Speaker 3: support that, right, I mean, there's some logic to that. Now,
Speaker 3: the issue about vaccines in general, I mean, he just
Speaker 3: plain old said it was the fact that I said
Speaker 3: at vaccines are dangerous. They have him on tape saying that.
Speaker 2: On video.
Speaker 3: He goes, no, no, no, I was taken out of context,
Speaker 3: and no, I believe in vaccines and you said they
Speaker 3: cause autism. No, I really didn't mean that. It was surreal.
Speaker 3: It's one of those where you have these nominees saying
Speaker 3: I didn't say that, or I don't believe that, or
Speaker 3: was taken out of context, where they have them straight
Speaker 3: on doing that, and they got that with JF RFK Junior.
Speaker 3: By the way, is he going to be confirmed to corsiers?
Speaker 6: Of course, no good options here. At least six senior
Speaker 6: FBI leaders have been ordered to retire or resign or
Speaker 6: they're going to get fired on Monday. The senior officials
Speaker 6: at the executive assistant director level or special agent in charge.
Speaker 6: They include those who oversee cyber, national security, and criminal investigations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to fire everybody that had anything to
Speaker 3: do with the investigation against him, even though it was
Speaker 3: their job and their were career members of the FBI
Speaker 3: and the DOJ. And I think Trump's position is, if
Speaker 3: you are a member of the FBI or the DOJ,
Speaker 3: and it is your job to investigate, the only people
Speaker 3: that Trump believes in said nope, I refuse to investigate.
Speaker 3: And this is a deep state FBI short of that child, baby,
Speaker 3: you're gone. It is, you know, it's it's it's troubling
Speaker 3: to say the least, and I think I'm being generous
Speaker 3: about this.
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, The Santana Unified School District put together
Speaker 7: a tutorial, let's say, six minutes long or so, to
Speaker 7: prepare staff for the possibility of US ICE officers showing
Speaker 7: up on campus. So it's just kind of a step
Speaker 7: by step recording to show the staff how to handle,
Speaker 7: you know, dealing with law enforcement and immigration. As you know,
Speaker 7: fears are heightened right now with those in our community
Speaker 7: that are not here legally.
Speaker 3: And do we still have that video that we put
Speaker 3: up a couple of days ago that was produced by
Speaker 3: this and a school district to help.
Speaker 2: People how you can deal with ice coming in?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's still is still there? Oh you took
Speaker 2: it down? Why come on? It was great.
Speaker 4: She likes messing with you.
Speaker 2: Wow. Did you make the decision to take it down?
Speaker 6: It was a story. It automatically comes down after a day.
Speaker 2: We should bring it back up if we can. It's
Speaker 2: that good, it really is.
Speaker 3: It is Santa Anna, the school district that created this video.
Speaker 2: That is just extraordinary.
Speaker 3: That's at Instant, that's at Bill Handles Show and this understories.
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, we're gonna try to bring it up.
Speaker 6: Okay, it's tariff time. President Trump said that twenty five
Speaker 6: percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico we'll go into effect Saturday. Well,
Speaker 6: he said, we may or may not do it, and
Speaker 6: we're going to figure that out anytime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Yeah. He said the decision will be based on whether
Speaker 6: the price of oil changed by the two trading partners
Speaker 6: is fair.
Speaker 2: That was a price of oil change.
Speaker 3: It's a world price, it's a world commodity.
Speaker 6: And initially he said that he was threatening tariffs to
Speaker 6: stop illegal immigration and also to stop the flow of
Speaker 6: drugs into the country.
Speaker 2: Now it's about oil.
Speaker 3: And if it's seventy eight dollars a barrel here, it's
Speaker 3: seventy eight dollars a barrel there, and it's seventy eight
Speaker 3: dollars a barrel around the world.
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of confused on this one.
Speaker 3: And we're not going to when An't we going to know?
Speaker 3: The arriffs kick into place eleven fifty five tonight. This
Speaker 3: is gonna be fun. Oh, here is actually some good news.
Speaker 3: It's making of drugs.
Speaker 7: US Food and Drug Administration signed off just yesterday on
Speaker 7: a new page pill and it's a new pain reliever.
Speaker 7: We haven't had a new pain reliever in more than
Speaker 7: two decades. This particular drug is a non opioid therapeutic
Speaker 7: and it's taken every twelve hours after a larger starter dose.
Speaker 7: It's about fifty milligram prescription pill and it will be
Speaker 7: under the brand name Joran of X Jordan Jornavis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you'll see the commercial.
Speaker 3: There's two people in a bathtub holding hands and they're
Speaker 3: gonna talk about, you know, how great erections are.
Speaker 4: No, this is for pain.
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh got it? Will Okay, I can take that
Speaker 3: a long way over done. Let's let's move.
Speaker 6: On another round of releases set for this weekend. Hamas
Speaker 6: says it's going to release three more Israeli hostages. One
Speaker 6: of them is an American Israeli dual citizen and the
Speaker 6: father of the the youngest hostages taken from Israel. His
Speaker 6: name's Keith Siegel. He was taken from Kibbutz. His wife
Speaker 6: was also kidnapped, but she was released in November of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty three as part of that short lived ceasefire
Speaker 6: where they let a bunch of the hostages out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's this is going to be a rough one,
Speaker 3: the ceasefire and the withdrawal from Gaza, because at some
Speaker 3: point you're going to see all of.
Speaker 2: The hostages exchange that's going to happen.
Speaker 3: At the end of that this Israel Quebec can start
Speaker 3: bombing Gaza. There the war cabinet that Nettagnan, who Netugnah
Speaker 3: who has is pushing for exactly that.
Speaker 2: It's there. We'll be talking about this no doubt as
Speaker 2: this thing continues.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 7: To better serve Bill Handle, Costco is going to raise
Speaker 7: hourly pay for most US store workers to over thirty
Speaker 7: dollars an hour. This is for kind of the top tier.
Speaker 7: This is for the top of the scale for employees.
Speaker 7: Next three years, it'll be going up to pay rising
Speaker 7: one dollar to thirty dollars and twenty cents first year,
Speaker 7: an extra dollar each in the subsequent two years. According
Speaker 7: to this memo that went out. Good for them, they
Speaker 7: run a good store.
Speaker 3: They do the bottom the bottom scale gets an increase
Speaker 3: in twenty bucks, which is pretty close.
Speaker 2: To minimum wage. So it's the higher than this is hourly.
Speaker 3: It was a Costco yesterday and this is different than
Speaker 3: the people that give the samples that are there that
Speaker 3: are now screaming at you.
Speaker 2: It used to be they just didn't care.
Speaker 3: I guess in order to keep their job, they have
Speaker 3: to yell.
Speaker 2: Try it. It's on sale.
Speaker 3: Usually it's in some ethnic language that is impossible to understand.
Speaker 3: And yesterday I was almost When you get the chicken nuggets, they.
Speaker 2: Tackle you to get there. The people that are there
Speaker 2: a little you roteins, Oh yeah, they go crazy routine. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And when they give you, you know, the supplement drinks
Speaker 3: like no one gets.
Speaker 2: Anywhere near it.
Speaker 4: Somebody does.
