Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty and now Handle on the news.
Speaker 2: What geez kono with the attitude, I'll bring your problems
Speaker 2: to work and KFI AM six forty live everywhere on
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. Good Morgan Neil Savandra in for Bill
Speaker 2: Handle this morning. Be here all week. He'll be back
Speaker 2: on Monday, so stick around right here. He's still on vacation.
Speaker 2: I was on vacation with he and his lovely new
Speaker 2: bride and my family. But he's extended. He's got more
Speaker 2: money than I do. We ran out and had to
Speaker 2: come home. He just keeps on going. The ever ready
Speaker 2: bunny but jewish and bald and rich. But other than
Speaker 2: that similar, Hey, Amy King, before we get into the
Speaker 2: morning news, Yes, please tell us about your waggle, your wiggle,
Speaker 2: your walk, all those things.
Speaker 3: Well, we just mentioned it, but I'm gonna just mention
Speaker 3: it anytime that you give me the opportunity. The Wiggle
Speaker 3: Wagglewalk is coming up on Sunday, April sixth. We're going
Speaker 3: to be walking around the Rose Bowl to raise money
Speaker 3: for Pasadena Humane. And you know that they always do
Speaker 3: amazing work to take care of animals and treat them,
Speaker 3: getting them ready for their forever homes. But they've been
Speaker 3: particularly stressed this year because of the eating fires and
Speaker 3: where they've taken in, like they've found fifteen hundred animals,
Speaker 3: they've treated them for burns. They're still housing some of
Speaker 3: them because people who lost their homes don't have a
Speaker 3: place to keep their animals, so they're basically boarding these
Speaker 3: animals until they can be reunited permanently with their families.
Speaker 3: So when you walk, you're doing good to help animals,
Speaker 3: and that's a big deal. And our goal is to
Speaker 3: raise ten thousand dollars. We're not there yet. We need
Speaker 3: your help. We would love there's two ways to do it.
Speaker 3: You can walk with us, join the wake up call wigglers,
Speaker 3: or you can make a donation. Or you can do
Speaker 3: both and it's very easy to do both of them.
Speaker 3: Go to KFI AM six forty dot com, slash wiggle again.
Speaker 3: That's this Sunday. It's going to be a beautiful day.
Speaker 3: Come walk with us, won't you?
Speaker 2: Did Bill donate?
Speaker 3: He said he was going to hum I don't know.
Speaker 3: I got to go check your poke at him. And
Speaker 3: you know what, we've had some amazing donors. We've had
Speaker 3: some people that I can't say thank you too because
Speaker 3: they anonymously did it. So I will just say thank
Speaker 3: you to anyone anonymously. But several other people just have
Speaker 3: really stepped up and we appreciate it a ton.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's awesome. I will donate as well.
Speaker 3: Oh, good, thank you.
Speaker 2: That is a great cause, so good twenty five cents. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we'll give it to you. I actually donated some little
Speaker 2: necklace thing the little dog tags.
Speaker 3: This year did and I should mention that too.
Speaker 2: So there's a couple fun.
Speaker 3: There's a whole big area with GOT vendors and demonstrations,
Speaker 3: and we're gonna have a KFI booth and we have
Speaker 3: exclusive KFI swag bags for your pups that include the little.
Speaker 2: Uh the doggye tag.
Speaker 3: Doggie tags made by very own Nils Vedra.
Speaker 2: It was good fun. I had fun doing that and
Speaker 2: I'm happy to do it. All right, let's get into
Speaker 2: the news, shall we lead story.
Speaker 3: Pass packses? You have PAGs my brain.
Speaker 2: We don't know what we're doing with your money, but
Speaker 2: please give us more. Don't be surprised if the next
Speaker 2: few times you ring something up this week you start
Speaker 2: seeing a few extra cents wrung up. Starting today, Los
Speaker 2: Angeles County residents will see a sales tax increase, oh boy,
Speaker 2: on their purchases due to a voter approved We're stupid
Speaker 2: measure that supports county run homeless services. So in some
Speaker 2: areas will jump from nine point five to nine point
Speaker 2: seven to five. Alameda County currently has the highest county
Speaker 2: wide sales tax at ten point two five sh oh.
Speaker 3: No, in Palmdale? Is it Palmdale that just went up
Speaker 3: to eleven and a quarter?
Speaker 2: I mean really?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And then some other cities, in addition to this
Speaker 3: county tax also added on. I think Huntington Beach has
Speaker 3: a new tax. And then this tax that we have,
Speaker 3: this is a half cent tax, but effectively it's going
Speaker 3: up by a quarter percent because what we passed in
Speaker 3: November was to repeal the old tax of a quarter
Speaker 3: cent and replace it permanently with a half cent tax.
Speaker 2: So Measure H is what you're talking about, set to
Speaker 2: expire in twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they repealed that one completely, but then added
Speaker 3: on a bigger one permanently.
Speaker 2: And you know what, we're still in the middle of
Speaker 2: a scandal. In my view, where we don't even know
Speaker 2: where the money is going for the homeless that we
Speaker 2: already have.
Speaker 3: The couple billion dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so and we keep giving more money to
Speaker 2: this and it's not great.
Speaker 3: Corey Booker's still talking. He's on the Senate floor. He's
Speaker 3: a new Jersey senator, and he started talking last night
Speaker 3: at four o'clock our time, and he has talked through
Speaker 3: the evening. I saw him this morning. He's still standing.
Speaker 3: He said, I rise with the intention of disrupting the
Speaker 3: normal business of the United States Senate for as long
Speaker 3: as I am physically able. He said, I rise tonight
Speaker 3: because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.
Speaker 2: So this isn't a filibuster per se, because there's no law.
Speaker 2: He's not keeping me from passing the law or nominations
Speaker 2: or he's just talking.
Speaker 3: He's only talking to himself because before he even started,
Speaker 3: the Senate had wrapped up his business for the day.
Speaker 2: So even more impressive than well, maybe he's just crazy. No, Okay,
Speaker 2: So somebody that just stands up starts talking to himself
Speaker 2: for you know, through the evening, that's normal. Yeah, he's got.
Speaker 3: Something to say. If nobody's listening. I see he has
Speaker 3: a point to make you bless him for it.
Speaker 2: You do this, yeah, because he's angry at Trump.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do it too.
Speaker 2: And seventy some odd days into a seventy one days
Speaker 2: into it where all hell's breaking loose? Is it pretty
Speaker 2: much anybody's life changed in this past seventy one days?
Speaker 2: I should know about.
Speaker 3: They're laying the groundwork.
Speaker 2: Is that right? It's coming, It's coming. Okay, so good
Speaker 2: on your corey. If someone gives you some water, his
Speaker 2: voice is going to be trashed. Stocks their worst quarter
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty two of men tariff uncertainty. Uncertainty makes
Speaker 2: people nervous. People liked the same, same, same, So the
Speaker 2: S and P five hundred dropped more than four point
Speaker 2: five percent for the first quarter of twenty twenty five
Speaker 2: Monday's close, obviously, we looked these numbers. Falling tech heavy
Speaker 2: Nasdaq plummeted ten point four percent, Dow Jones Industrial Average
Speaker 2: settled at one point three percent lower, and recorded its
Speaker 2: first back to back monthly loss since October of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three. This all comes because President Donald Trump is
Speaker 2: set to unveil the new slate of wide ranging tariff
Speaker 2: so this ongoing trade policy that has everything up in
Speaker 2: the air, no names of countries that are gonna get
Speaker 2: tagged specifically, no numbers per se, just a fun name
Speaker 2: of what is it? It's non Independence Day. We already
Speaker 2: one of those.
Speaker 3: He calls it liberation Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, liberation Day.
Speaker 3: Niel Svader, do you think that there's some wheeling and
Speaker 3: dealing going on at this moment, which is why they
Speaker 3: haven't announced everything specifically?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Absolutely. The whole point of this, I mean, the
Speaker 2: whole point of this is that it's being played as
Speaker 2: a game. We don't like it. I get that, I
Speaker 2: get that, But I said this yesterday. If you walk
Speaker 2: in in the middle of surgery, it's ugly, blood everywhere,
Speaker 2: guts everywhere. And I you know, I'm not a Trump
Speaker 2: supporter personally, did not vote for the man. However, when
Speaker 2: somebody's president, you got to kind of let thing, you know,
Speaker 2: see where things are gonna go. And the reality is,
Speaker 2: if he's gonna gut stuff and want to put it
Speaker 2: back together, we're gonna have to be patient. It's not
Speaker 2: gonna be pretty. There's a lot there is a lot
Speaker 2: of roots of stupidity that have been grown through throughout
Speaker 2: our country and the bureaucracy and the government that need
Speaker 2: to be hacked away. It isn't going to be pretty
Speaker 2: no matter who does it, a Republican, a Democrat, It's
Speaker 2: not going to be pretty if it's done right. So
Speaker 2: I'm not thrilled with the way he does things. But
Speaker 2: I'm not here to say that none of this is
Speaker 2: going to come out good on the other side, because
Speaker 2: I don't know yet, and I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 2: So time will tell. Time will tell.
Speaker 3: One moment is not enough. Authorities in Me and mar
Speaker 3: have held a minute of silence to honor the victims
Speaker 3: of the earthquake. More than twenty seven hundred people are dead,
Speaker 3: including fifty kids from one preschool. Oh that breaks my heart.
Speaker 3: The hardest hit areas are struggling to find food, water,
Speaker 3: and shelter. The magnitude seven point seven quake hit around
Speaker 3: lunchtime locally on Friday. It was the strongest earthquake to
Speaker 3: hit the Southeast Asian country in more than a century,
Speaker 3: which means it's knocking over new buildings and ancient pagodas.
Speaker 2: Everything just insane. A beautiful part of the world, by
Speaker 2: the way, A very beautiful part of the world. All right,
Speaker 2: So today Wisconsin has high stakes Supreme Court race special
Speaker 2: elections in Florida as well. So this is big doing
Speaker 2: this selection to fill a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: It's showing itself as the country's first major political battle
Speaker 2: since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. And
Speaker 2: you know, these are kind of like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: tests of some kind. We look at these things to
Speaker 2: see how people are going to respond to the first
Speaker 2: seventy some odd days of Trump and the White House.
Speaker 2: So is the president's popularity in that state that he
Speaker 2: just narrowly flipped last year? Is this a gauge of
Speaker 2: some kind of what's going on and the politics and
Speaker 2: how that's going to play out. And then you've got
Speaker 2: a pair of special elections for two vacant House seats
Speaker 2: in Florida. Maybe not as much attention as the other
Speaker 2: is getting, but the outcomes today could deliver Republicans some
Speaker 2: much needed reinforcements are kind of padding I guess, as
Speaker 2: Speaker of Mike Johnson narrow majority and provide you know,
Speaker 2: kind of the mood. We're looking at the mood, the
Speaker 2: vibe of the voters. So we shall see, Oh, it's
Speaker 2: my turn. Yes, ma'am, there's only two of us.
Speaker 3: I know. Okay, wait, I got to get to the
Speaker 3: rate thing, Okay, Testing one, two, three. Testing Researchers at
Speaker 3: Caltech have been collecting samples and testing what's in them
Speaker 3: from dozens of homes around Altadena since the fires broke out,
Speaker 3: and what they're finding out is not good. The result
Speaker 3: of fifty two tests has found an alarming rate of
Speaker 3: lead concentration on indoor surfaces. More than half had lead
Speaker 3: levels higher than at least the EPA limit, and Francoisissau,
Speaker 3: Caltech professor of geochemistry, says for kids, there is no
Speaker 3: safe level of lead.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The interesting thing on this, I got some notice
Speaker 2: the other day from an attorney of some kind. We're
Speaker 2: ten miles away, I think miles right, I would say,
Speaker 2: from the eating fire, and we got something, you know,
Speaker 2: class action, something saying, hey, even if you weren't affected
Speaker 2: directly by the fire, you may have particulates and stuff
Speaker 2: in your air ducts. And I was like just about
Speaker 2: to toss it, and I ended up tossing it, but
Speaker 2: I thought, wow, I never thought about that, because we
Speaker 2: did have ash all over the place, and now you
Speaker 2: are concerned about things floating, and there is no good
Speaker 2: amount of lead as somebody like me who lives in
Speaker 2: a house that's one hundred and twelve years old or
Speaker 2: something like one hundred and ten years old. Uh so scary, Oh, Amy,
Speaker 2: Amy know is this me? It's sorry? Sorry, Amy, I
Speaker 2: was talking too much. I didn't want to hear myself anymore.
Speaker 3: And and you were piling on.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, you have a reputation, Amy, that's the reality.
Speaker 3: It kind of is usually, but only because you have
Speaker 3: a lot on your plate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I just went there.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 2: It was a wake up Okay. Three federal agencies reviewing
Speaker 2: nearly nine billion dollars in contracts and grants between the
Speaker 2: government and Harvard University. So this all has to do
Speaker 2: with you know, Harvard was pinnacle, right, Harvard is where
Speaker 2: everyone wants to get into, fantastic school, the American dream,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. While now it's being said that Harvard's
Speaker 2: failure to protect students on campus from anti Semitic discrimination,
Speaker 2: all while some say promoting device of ideologies has put
Speaker 2: the reputation in serious jeopardy. So now the government is
Speaker 2: including the Department of Education, Health and Human Services the
Speaker 2: US General Services Administration announced just yesterday they're reviewing this
Speaker 2: almost nine billion dollars in grants and more than two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five million dollars worth of contracts between
Speaker 2: them and Harvard. So this could be a big blow
Speaker 2: to have it all.
Speaker 3: Right, Setting the record straight, federal officials say we didn't
Speaker 3: pick up that University of Minnesota graduate student for protesting.
Speaker 3: The student was detained by Immigrations and Customs enforcement. They
Speaker 3: say it was because of a duy. In a statement,
Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security said the individual in question
Speaker 3: was arrested after a visa revocation by the state Department
Speaker 3: related to a prior criminal history for dui.
Speaker 2: Wow. It's like al Capone get nailed on tax concerns
Speaker 2: and do what you gotta do. She was got arrested
Speaker 2: for a dei. Oh, dui d u ei is a
Speaker 2: different thing. Gotcha, Roger? That all right? The Trump Administration's
Speaker 2: latest assertion of power over the press corps. The White
Speaker 2: House intends to take over the seating assignments in the
Speaker 2: press briefing room. So you have the White House Correspondence Association.
Speaker 2: They're an independent group and they assign all the seats right,
Speaker 2: they manage the relationships between the White House and the
Speaker 2: Press Corps and all those things. While this could be
Speaker 2: a tug of war when things go into play, but
Speaker 2: really doesn't matter where they sit. What really matters is
Speaker 2: that everybody gets to ask questions and should be treated equally. Right,
Speaker 2: who cares where they sit?
Speaker 3: For those of who can afford it, Space is now
Speaker 3: within reach. Space has launched a crew dragon spacecraft. It's
Speaker 3: carrying a cryptocurrency billionaire and three others on a days
Speaker 3: long trip that's going to orbit the Earth above the
Speaker 3: North and South Poles. That's never happened before. After it
Speaker 3: took off from Florida, the Falcon nine rocket flew south,
Speaker 3: tracing a path no human space flight mission has ever traveled.
Speaker 3: The missions called fram two and spearheading it is Malta
Speaker 3: resident Chun Wang, who made his fortune running bitcoin mining operations,
Speaker 3: paid SpaceX an undisclosed amount of money, and then he's
Speaker 3: joined by Norwegian film director Janet Mickelson and Germany based
Speaker 3: robotics researcher Rabbi Rogue and Australian adventurer Eric Phillips.
Speaker 2: Would you go? Would you go? To Space?
Speaker 3: Not on like this? They're just in a capsule. Like,
Speaker 3: although I will tell you after talking to Colonel Haig
Speaker 3: several times, our Space Force guardian friend, you're just like, Wow,
Speaker 3: that would be so cool, but that this is just
Speaker 3: in orbit for three days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're in space. You get to see a
Speaker 2: perspective very few people have.
Speaker 3: Oh sounds kind of scary. And who's piloting this sucker?
Speaker 2: Well you, I.
Speaker 3: Don't think anybody's steering, Okay, would you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would want to. I don't know that I
Speaker 2: could physically hant. I don't know what they're looking to
Speaker 2: put two hundred and fifty pounds of extra bulk. You're
Speaker 2: laughing a little hard. Cono a lot of extra bulk
Speaker 2: on that thing, But I don't know. Spokesperson said. The
Speaker 2: CDC continues to recommend vaccines as the best way to
Speaker 2: protect against measles. Who would have thunk, But this is
Speaker 2: kind of weird because leaders at the Center for Disease
Speaker 2: Control and Prevention also ordered staff this week not to
Speaker 2: release their experts assessment that found the risk of catching
Speaker 2: measles as high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates
Speaker 2: are lagging. So I like, why would you hold that back?
Speaker 2: They say, hey, well, because everybody knows you all know that,
Speaker 2: but some say that it's them kind of I don't know,
Speaker 2: bowing to the new administration and things like that. It
Speaker 2: kind of makes it sound like, hey, it's a personal decision.
Speaker 2: You do what you gotta do. Well, no, it's it
Speaker 2: is a personal decision, but you're kind of working towards
Speaker 2: being in a society that is looking for herd immunity.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it affects others. And you know, hey,
Speaker 2: was I thrilled about getting my son vaccinated with the
Speaker 2: COVID vaccine. No, it's a scary decision. No, I did it.
Speaker 2: Didn't believe bad an eye for myself, but nor did
Speaker 2: my wife. But when you think about your child, you're okay,
Speaker 2: do I know enough about this? Am I? But you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to become a doctor anytime soon, so
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to trust one every single time
Speaker 2: I go in for anything. So he kind of just
Speaker 2: go ahead and do it.
Speaker 3: Uh, Okay, Well.
Speaker 2: A bad segue into this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's one about trusting. A nine year old girl
Speaker 3: in San Diego County has died after going to the dentist.
Speaker 3: So she had a procedure didn't say specifically what it was,
Speaker 3: and they put her under anesthesia. So the medical examiner
Speaker 3: said that the child was moved to the recovery room
Speaker 3: and then sent home, and the girl remained asleep, and
Speaker 3: then later her family founder couldn't wake her up, found
Speaker 3: her unresponsive, and she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Speaker 3: The Watkins the dentistry company or the dentistry office said
Speaker 3: the child was charged in stable condition and awake with
Speaker 3: stable vital signs and protective reflexes intact into her mother's care.
Speaker 3: So the dentist office is saying she was awake. The
Speaker 3: mother of the medical examiner says, Nope, she wasn't. Wow,
Speaker 3: that's just so tragic.
Speaker 2: And we don't know if there's any outside concerns, medical concerns,
Speaker 2: or something else that might have played a factor. That's
Speaker 2: scary as hell as apparently.
Speaker 3: Sure, it's going to be investigated thoroughly to see what happened.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine why they would discharge somebody who wasn't awake, Like,
Speaker 3: if you've ever had a procedure, oh no, you know,
Speaker 3: they make you be awake, They make you make sure
Speaker 3: that you're not throwing up when you stand up that
Speaker 3: kind of thing. I mean from the surgeries I've had,
Speaker 3: they they watch it pretty closely before they say okay,
Speaker 3: you can go home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never seen that. And you know, and I've
Speaker 2: had maxiofacial surgery where it's pretty hardcore you know, mouthwork,
Speaker 2: and they are very very focused on making sure you
Speaker 2: are awake. So there, Yeah, something's sketchy going on for sure.
Speaker 2: The Chinese military said just today it had launched joint
Speaker 2: exercises involving its army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Force.
Speaker 2: There of course doing this around Taiwan as a stern
Speaker 2: warning because they don't do any limpristed warnings. Stern warning.
Speaker 2: Days after US Defense Chief Pete Haigseth vowed to counter
Speaker 2: China's aggression when he was having his first visit there
Speaker 2: to Asia. So meanwhile, you've got officials close to Trump
Speaker 2: have repeatedly emphasized the need for the US to focus
Speaker 2: its attention and resources, of course, on countering China's ambitions
Speaker 2: in the Indo Pacific. So everybody's saber rattling and doing
Speaker 2: their or sable if they like fox hare sable, right?
Speaker 3: Is that what a sable is a little fox?
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah, that's where they get for like
Speaker 2: sable brushes and sable fors. Do they still make those
Speaker 2: sable brushes? I think so? Like for painting, Yeah, who knows,
Speaker 2: we might have.
Speaker 3: To google that. I don't think they're making the coats anymore,
Speaker 3: at least not in the US.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because for his murder, Yeah what if it was
Speaker 2: self defense?
Speaker 3: Okay? Ou La la friends needs a new candidate. A
Speaker 3: French court on Monday is convicted Marie Lapin Wait where's
Speaker 3: it Yeah, Marine Lapin of embezzlement and barred her from
Speaker 3: seeking public office for five years. Lapon's lawyer says she's
Speaker 3: going to appeal the verdict, but she'll be ineligible to
Speaker 3: run for president, most likely in twenty twenty seven, which
Speaker 3: she was planning to do. She was also sentenced to
Speaker 3: four years imprisonment, two to be served under house arrest,
Speaker 3: to suspended.
Speaker 2: Two places I don't want to hear about a fight breakout.
Speaker 2: One would be like in an operating room, you know,
Speaker 2: in the operating theater. You don't want that to happen.
Speaker 2: A pretty close second would be in an air traffic
Speaker 2: control tower. Yeah right, you don't want any trouble there.
Speaker 2: So an air traffic controller has been charged with assault
Speaker 2: and battery in connection with a scuffle in the control
Speaker 2: tower at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last week. Because
Speaker 2: it doesn't have any problems there already that they got
Speaker 2: to worry about. So the Metropolitan Washington Airport's authority said
Speaker 2: its officers responded to an incident on March twenty seventh.
Speaker 2: Controllers got into a fight at the control tower. According
Speaker 2: to these reports, one person, Damon Marsalis Gaines, who works
Speaker 2: in controller operations, it was charged with the salt and battery.
Speaker 2: He's thirty nine years old.
Speaker 3: It's not like they don't they're not under a lot
Speaker 3: of stress, but going to blows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think when it's you know, there's a lot.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of fear in flying right now, is
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Yes, terror in the skies.
Speaker 3: Heard daily on Gary and Channon. It's not daily, is
Speaker 3: it recently? It has been?
Speaker 2: Oh I guess yeah, that changes things?
Speaker 3: Okay? Can we please leave these people alone. A court
Speaker 3: on Monday has cleared the way for the release of
Speaker 3: investigative records from the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife,
Speaker 3: Betsy Arakawa as long as depictions of the deceased couple
Speaker 3: are blocked from view. As you know, they died in
Speaker 3: their house in New Mexico. Very sad. He was ninety five.
Speaker 3: She was, I believe in her sixties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was like sixty three.
Speaker 3: You're sixty five. She died first of hantavirus, which is
Speaker 3: that rodent born disease, and then he died later from
Speaker 3: heart disease, and also he had Alzheimer's disease. But they
Speaker 3: lived a very private life. I wish people would just
Speaker 3: leave them alone. That's just my personal comment.
Speaker 2: You know, what would you what could you possibly want
Speaker 2: to see or learn from the situation that one.
Speaker 3: You want to put the partially mummified bodies on the
Speaker 3: front page of the paper. That's why they want it.
Speaker 2: I understand morbid curiosity, I do, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: The story's sad all the way around. And they're two
Speaker 2: incredibly talented people in their own right. Yes, And it's
Speaker 2: like they gave enough to us they don't need to
Speaker 2: give in their death, all right. Trump signs an executive
Speaker 2: order targeting ticket scalping. They signed this executive order yesterday
Speaker 2: aimed at protecting fans from exploitative ticketing because these are
Speaker 2: those tickets, like they go for one hundred bucks and
Speaker 2: then somebody I don't know how they do it, but
Speaker 2: they have a system to get the best seats immediately, right,
Speaker 2: and then they sell them for two grand to pop.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Let me look at like Taylor Swift tickets for
Speaker 3: that show. If you wanted seats on the floor, they
Speaker 3: were like ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's not what they were for. You know,
Speaker 2: somebody's making money that's not doing anything right.
Speaker 3: Because that's not the face value. And that's the whole
Speaker 3: gist behind this. We've been talking about this a ton,
Speaker 3: Like you know, like Disneyland, you make a reservation, so
Speaker 3: when you go to Disneyland, it's you who goes and
Speaker 3: goes into the park. Yeah, and when you go on
Speaker 3: a plane you basically the same thing. For concerts, there
Speaker 3: is not that. So you can't get the tickets from
Speaker 3: the venue a lot of times if you want the
Speaker 3: good seats, and you got to go through the resellers
Speaker 3: and they charge you a ton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to do something a little more. I
Speaker 2: think you just pointed out that there are some air holes,
Speaker 2: some gaps that can be closed at least with knowing
Speaker 2: who's purchasing the tickets off the bat. All right, that
Speaker 2: was the morning news. We will be back with much
Speaker 2: more as we get into the situation the extended stay
Speaker 2: the astronauts had. We'll talk about that. I like the
Speaker 2: fact they keep bristling at the fact that anybody says
Speaker 2: they were stranded. Bro, that's stranded to me. But we'll
Speaker 2: find that out. This is KFI heard everywhere on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. You've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2: Catch my Show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
Speaker 2: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
